Why don't you give it a rest, SnodGrass?  What's all this got to do with the Treasure Hunt anyway?

Well, SnodGrass's last post sounded like he was egging him on.  Why add fuel to the fire?

The current building isn't the original.  I was just wondering what stood there before the current one was built.

I seem to recall it was an insurance company.

I think the clue says to stay away from those places, but I think it suggests that it is in a park that has them. It gives a clue and a safety lecture all at once! lol

OT -- which building are you thinking of?  The one that's like the distribution center right on the river that's visible from Mounds?  I didn't think you meant the downtown one where the writer's work...

Isn't there a large bronze statue in front of the building?

So in reference to the second clue, it mentions a not-so-white christmas, which people think means Crosby, but according to my mom there are walking paths (also referenced in clue 2) that lead to Hidden Falls. Is this true, and do any other clues match up with HF?

Where is the distribution center located?  Which side of the river?

Distibution center is on the.. southwest? side of the river. And yes, Crosby and Hidden Falls are connected via trails, I've walked them a few times, whiling away the hours if it were ;)

be brave- nice - that fits BC and HF still

what do we hear?cars on highway 5? 61? waterfall? silence/nothing? air/wind? echo?

pledge and don't fear:police at Highland? pledge allegence?

stay out of a park with a cliff and waters edge? or go to a park with those and stay in the middle?

there before we moved in: the building at the pp? indians? fort snelling? wilderness? white cliffs, waterfalls, fossils, river warren or Mississippi river, silence? paths? caves? creek?  ---I would think what is still there would be the sound? or bravery for Fort Snelling

    Think your right here. Please tell me I'm wrong.

    Please have no fear = Be brave?


    nice KT!

    Clue 3

    Be safe and we pledge
    Neither cliff nor waters edge
    Figure in your hunting
    pursuit
    Whats that you hear?
    Please have no fear
    it was there before we
    moved in

    Does not rule out cliffs or water edge, med is just not by them, therefore there are those features at the park. Horton hears a who? not at como
    The glacier sign-ice and water- at crosby- fit nicely with this. Talks about the falls that are no longer there. What is "it"?
    The treasure? The sound? The land feature? Glacier?
    "IT" was there before we moved in- "we" meaning treasure? As in hollow tree stump or rock or cave or mounds there before St Paul or before treasure was put there? is "IT" the hiding spot?
    Figure? Skateing?
    What that you hear? Nothing? silece? Water? Silence?
    I still like crosby watergate! The waters edge dont apply because its not frozen like the lakes in crosby. Cliff and water edge wont help you "figure" out where "IT" is. "ITS" not by them. Or is it saying that they should not be there at all? A park with out them?
    The ice/water sign talks about the falls that were there before. It WAS there before we moved in. Pig eye Lake? lower BC?

    Ok, just finished slogging 800+ posts....had to read them all, now my head just plain hurts!

    My top three are Hidden Falls, Crosby and Battle Creek

    OK make it four Swede Hollow - cause Mappy made an X in that park for me!!

    if you read it like that: WAS here - it does sound like Fountain Cave which was near Crosby but not in Crosby.  you could hear the falls in the echo of the cave.

    and that would work with the way the cluewriter writes -funky things that were far away but near the park even if you cant see it
