me 2: what would have been there before them at Central?
Well the railroad is there - and they used to use the ice from the lake for the old fashioned Ice Boxes. They had lots of 'industry' loading points along that rail line.
Perhaps you heard the blow of the trains? I don't recall that being still an active line - I know the one that runs parallel with Rice St. is.
I think you said you had a couple of Cache's up at Central right? Do you (or anyone else) recall anything up there that has a clock - or a time reference?
That clock that blew down in the storm in 2004 - was that near a park?
Â
Nice! I was thinking about anagraming just the while time away part.
what about wood? is there any wood 'whittled' statues around - like someone was whittling the while time away?
Â
lilslim - will you PLEASE email me a larger version of your F-winter avatar? My mom would absoulutely LOVE it - I'd like to print it out for her - growing up there (in the cold) she refuses to return unless the weather is at least 80. You can send it to
They mention cliffs and water's edge, so I think the park has those things and we are supposed to stay away from them. What parks have cliffs?
Remember, the cluewriter said they always throw out red herrings. I think the reference to Crosby in the second clue is a red herring. I don't think they'd give the park name away so early.
Anyone think there's an anogram in the last two lines of clue three?
It's good to be back...glad I FINALLY have some time to post..still need to go through some old posts tho....I'm thinkin' Cherokee, for now....definitely like Nancy's thinkin--I'm kinda on the same page....
Look at clue twolast year with the word "token"which meant arcade streetinto Phalen park. They even said so in the explanation. Look at the clues for 93, They mentioned itasca street in clue 1 when it was at Hidden Falls. The park is so big they can give it away early.Â
Wasn't Bing Crosby's nickname "Old Cumgedrum" (spelling) and then that white chrismas reference. Although on a map, Crosby seems small, only 6 miles. it does have those two lakes, and the meeting of Mn and Miss rivers....
Its not at crosby its at HF. The white christmas just brings us to Crosby/HF Area when it really is in the HF side of that regional park. Just like always. Also it was hidden at HF in 93 and 54
I agree stallion about the rhyming scheme getting messed up and it is really getting to me.
Possible explanations...
Souch is trying to mess with us and wants to see the reaction.
There is a new 2nd writer (KK retired), and they took turns writing the clues, he just isn't as committed to the rhyme scheme as some cluewriters were/are.
not to mention Phalen!
The only thing I can think of is for rhyming purposes
I'd say off limits...its in dakota county....
this is per KARL KARLSON...
not two years in a row.

It was all flat farm land - no cliffs etc.
I think it is hideen in something that is inedible and also credible. Example a white creidt card envelope!
the real freaky people dig with oyster shells and can you put a hoe on ebay??
Hey Ian -
I think you said you had a couple of Cache's up at Central right? Do you (or anyone else) recall anything up there that has a clock - or a time reference?
That clock that blew down in the storm in 2004 - was that near a park?
Â
Okay....
Scouted HF, Crosby and Headless Hunter Lilydale :shiver: that place is creepy!
Also Cherokee and it occurred to me if its in play, then so is Mounds...
My overall take? Somewhere by the river...
Well, now that I've narrowed it down for you guys, Get out there!
Kitch who is Karl Karlson?

I'd sooo appreciate it. Tx.
Hi Nancy,
Clue No. 3, I was thinking caves.
 Do you (or anyone else) recall anything up there that has a clock - or a time reference
Â
NO CLOCK THAT I KNOW OF...I know the park quite well.
but your right...they did have a big storm...that tore up the park...really bad...
done, lee.
They mention cliffs and water's edge, so I think the park has those things and we are supposed to stay away from them. What parks have cliffs?
Remember, the cluewriter said they always throw out red herrings. I think the reference to Crosby in the second clue is a red herring. I don't think they'd give the park name away so early.

they did build the "bandshell" have the big storm...
Thanks Lisa
What's that you hear? A Who?
It was there before. CONO!
God I hate to go there, but.... waddya think?
thx, Ares
will try again
there's a brick factory out there, nancy.
Hey ya'll - thinking back on Bear's Mock hunt - any of this stuff fit Swede Hollow?
It's good to be back...glad I FINALLY have some time to post..still need to go through some old posts tho....I'm thinkin' Cherokee, for now....definitely like Nancy's thinkin--I'm kinda on the same page....

scribe...
what about the 4-H pledge?
Â
I think if it's in a big park, they may allude to it early. Otherwise, they're chasing us around like geesess
What's that you hear? A Who?
It was there before... Como!
I hate to say it, but what if we're being duped?
for how big central, hiddenfalls, crosby,Keller,battle creek, swede, phalen, como, are ...they could tell us....
Â
They always tell us early when it is in a big park, the worst thing to do is second guess ourselves
'white christmas'
the medallion in a bing crosby white christmas cd case er something
....just found where this was already mentioned. hmmm.

Como again? Wow, that's some great noodlin'!
Wasn't Bing Crosby's nickname "Old Cumgedrum" (spelling) and then that white chrismas reference. Although on a map, Crosby seems small, only 6 miles. it does have those two lakes, and the meeting of Mn and Miss rivers....
THomas Crosby and farm are one of the original settlers.....
Hey KT, that como Horton hunt was one of the funnest!
"What's that you hear?"
:::cccrrreeeeaaaakkkkk::::
"Never fear. It was there before we moved in."

Although on a map, Crosby seems small
Â
until you go there...you realize the size of it....
Crosby/Hidden falls park 736 Acres roughly 300 acres bigger than como.
It has never been at Crosby; at HF once in the '80's or 90's
There is some kind of Greening effort at Crosby in reintroducing some kind of wildlife, may hinder cule makers hidding it there??

excellent trivia/stats on med.
Its not at crosby its at HF. The white christmas just brings us to Crosby/HF Area when it really is in the HF side of that regional park. Just like always. Also it was hidden at HF in 93 and 54
Does anyone think - they could of "stuck" it in a "stick up" airfreshener?
That would be a heck of a hiding spot and being it's sticky - attached just about anywhere ?

OR... it really means something.
Just can't figure out what.
Ok, I'll weigh in and you can all laugh at me:
Â
What about mears park? It's got that fake river running through it and the big clock that Marley hid his medallion under.
how about mounds you can see ma press from there and it's right next to the airport. ma press moved there a few years back
