I was wary at Phalen last year because of the Ice Harvesting going on and the small bits of construction near the vollyball area. But as we moved towards the wildflowers I was more comfortable with it.

but Highland doesn't really have many paths....'along it's paths you may while time away'

Might be a reference to something on the paths vs. you using the path.

I'm here too, just getting caught up on other threads.

We want to get in on the park pick thing if possible. What parks have been picked? Is there a list or a board?

I was there today....it's NOT fun and interesting for KIDS...we're all kids, but plenty of folks want to bring their, as some ethnic groups say,: KEEEDs. BUTT....I have a good idea of what's there just in case....I'm wrong...and even though I'm a former clue writer...I could be wrong..no one is infallible...but white christmas/bing crosby..just too obvious..AND too many places for the Keeds to get lost down there. We need a playground..or rink..don't ya tink?

So.ahhh...where does everyone think it is?  Anywhere near Atlas Street, as in Charles Atlas, as in a man of steel?

I'm going to head for the covers for a bit.  I have the alarm set for near clue time.  Need to catch some quick zzzzzzs.  It's too early in this process to be sleep deprived.

Not sure if it's relevant or not - talked to my Step Dad today - he confirmed what I had thought before - that on Hamline and County Rd C - there used to be a feed store that was next to the tracks - and on that same rail line many years ago - they used to ship (along with the feed) 300 pound blocks of ice by rail car that were pulled out of the lake at central park.


I am impressed that I remember something so random.


It's no longer there - but refrigerator's are... any place in line-sight of a park that makes / sells the refrigs / deep freezes?

I'm sticking with BC as my #1 with Crosby #2 and God only know's as #3. I wouldn't put it past the clue writers to hit at Crosby in the second clue, just becuase we're all saying "No, they wouldn't give the park away that early" At the same time maybe it's just a red herring. They seem to like those too. Hopefully the 3rd clue points towards the park and not what it's in. I'd rather be searching for somethign I don't konw what it looks like in the right park, than know what I'm looking for and not have any idea what park to go to.
