I've got a radical new idea... instead of asking what como has, let's just ask what como doesn't have, in the interest of saving time.
I'll try a few...
Como doesn't have a torpedo does it? crap. Well they don't have polar bears do they? crap. They don't have a French immersion school 3 blocks away that has a red white and blue French flag painted on it do they? crap. Como probably doesn't have a mini golf course does it? crap.
I've got one...
The Pioneer Press medallion has never been found by Jake at Como, has it?
(Zephy told the junior hunters that if they were smart  Paying respect to his brothers was the best way to start) = The torpedo
(There are cable cones nearby) = In the minnie golf there is an old trolly car
(Passing along a field of diamonds that are green They imagined a winter carnival scene) = Two base ball diamonds and the shelter we used for the rehash bash.
Continuing on they saw a valet from the Bible Then just beyond were 24 rectangles that aren't pliable Immeasurable rectangles and squares rise on top and about from the ground Stopping atop the slight rise of trail they looked back around They wished the map guy were there for his brain to pick But their frustration in finding things stung worse than a wicked nick Zephy told them before that if parts of this clue they could comprehend It would lead them to the treasure in the end

Hmmmm, I was sure it was Battle Creek until the not on the east side thing. Unless he's being tricky and means not on the east side of the park. The trails with the waterfalls are west of the area the rest of the clues seem to be describing. Hidden Falls is the only other St. Paul park I can think of with water falls.

We want a clue!!!
Clue 5
Continuing on they saw a valet from the Bible
Then just beyond were 24 rectangles that aren't pliable
Immeasurable rectangles and squares rise on top and about from the ground
Stopping atop the slight rise of trail they looked back around
They wished the map guy were there for his brain to pick
But their frustration in finding things stung worse than a wicked nick
Zephy told them before that if parts of this clue they could comprehend
It would lead them to the treasure in the end
Dead end street. Moses. Â
 I still like Harriet for now

[Edited by on May 18, 2005 at 07:44pm.]
I think I might know the park but I won't have time to search before Saturday. 14 years of parochial schools comes in handy sometimes.

Not secretive I just hade to get some sleep Bella is teething.
There can be only one!
If this board is not to share ideas then what is it's purpose?

Get It On Lyrics
by T. Rex
Tonight Ill be working overtime 7pm to 7am. Tomorrow I'll work overtime and then the next day too. My job sucks! Can't even get a day off! Every stinkin weekend we have to work! grrrr.
maybe nothing is making sense to me...cuz its in the new bruce vento park...
(But really, I am sorry to hear about the time off... sux a bunch)
Look ...I'm first in line!!!! wooohooo
its time JOE
Clue 6
As they went along they saw mom & pops watching kids play
At a playground for which many wanted to stay
The desire to swing and slide burned like a fire in the pit of their stomach
To cure their tunnel vision of ignoring the hunt they need the heimlich
Meeting a body of water the path forked and they heard mysical music
Using a TLC tune to choose which way to go was the trick
Zephy told them that an east-side digger would be searching for quite a spell
While a west-side hunter would be much closer to doing well
They split into two groups with the hopes that they might
Be the one that picked the path which was right
In Too Deep (Import Bonus Track) Lyrics
</LU>
I like this clue best so far
Using a TLC tune to choose which way to go was the trick
thank you TMK
[Edited by on May 19, 2005 at 04:07pm.]
could be TLC- cable channel....cable cones?
Shows on TLC
Trading Spaces, While you were out:)
Cherokee, Como, Hidden Falls, Highland, Indian Mounds, Crosby, Newell and Phalen.
Have Fire Rings....any others??
I hate not having my mapguide at work...(oh crap forgot about outside of st. paul)
slides??
hmmm not Hidden falls and Crosby I know
east/west trails??
I'm guessing not Cherokee or IM
Â
soo...
como, highland, phalen, newell
hmmmm.....I don't recall......slides...grrrr....Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
newell...no tunnels (I think) ...
hmmm HIGHLAND---I'm not sure if tunnel or not....doubt it...
como and phalen
como/phalen......forgot about other crap....hmmm CENTRAL?
Why do I post all this crap without a THG and a few months removed from hunts...I feel like an idiot......
Â
[Edited by on May 19, 2005 at 04:38pm.]
As soon as I saw the TLC thing, I thought about that "Dont go chasin waterfalls" song...
maybe stay away from parks that have them?
nice!
I was/not being a lurker :) . I have a cracked wisdom tooth that I'm waiting to have removed.
OTS is on Vicodin. Lots of Vicodin.
Consider me useless right now.
Start posting IDEAS OTiS....

RANDYRUST IS AT HIS BEST WHEN HE WASTED!!!
Zephy told them that an east-side digger would be searching for quite a spell
So it's not Mounds LOL

I am going to como again in the morning.

The trails with the waterfalls are west of the area the rest of the clues seem to be describing. Hidden Falls is the only other St. Paul park I can think of with water falls.
Water falls Como and Phalen
400JOE
There is A WATERFALL at Phalen and HF
BC waterfalls seem small to me -no playground down there.
The song is plural .... WaterfallS = Como has 2 that I can think of - Hamms and Frog Pond
