Maureen!!!!!! I was hoping you would have shown up before the bash last night! How are you? Any early gut feelings?

I think 6 years is the shortest amount of time a park has been used twice. If that continues to hold true (and I suspect it will) you can rule out Conway, Cherokee, Como, Harriet Island, and Battle Creek.

Thanks Terry! Well whenever I put my mind to something, I never do it at less than 100%, and I have put my mind to this, and not necessarily by choice. If I see you out, I will have to show you some of my homemade resources.

For those of you who don't know...and Jake - I would bet you already know....Maureen and her brother are the ones that found the medallion at Cherokee a couple years ago.

Maureen, are you enjoying that hot tub?

Heh, my gut feeling is there will be 10-15 parks argued vehemently by various people, that there will be hundreds of false "found medallion" reports, many a tool to help with the digging, and much praying to the medallion/cooler gods...

Set your own pace and it could make you an ace

If your grasp of these clues is astute

So get yourself out and into the chase

And you just might win all the loot

Birdie what ya think man???

Allison Wonderland

An ace is also a fighter pilot or possibly just someone really good at something like treasure hunting. If you set your own pace....Hmmmmmmm

Ace = Camp Snoopy?

Ace = (former) Ace Box Bar which is close to Newell?

This is really a stretch and so I will apologize in advance.

Charles Schultz is a St. Paul Central graduate. There is a park behind Central. Dunning Field. On the school grounds there is a track.

Is Roseville considered St,Paul?

I think we could go tear up camp snoopy and the mall.. never really liked that place anyways

Usually when they direct you to do something, its quite significant, like "Set your own pace". I'd say focus on that.

Mon, 01/24/2000 - 12:08 AM Permalink
Green and Blac…

Girl, it says, St. Paul in the first clue... Not outside of St. Paul

Mon, 01/24/2000 - 12:08 AM Permalink

Roseville is not within the city limits.

What I find to be most helpful...is do instead of reading all the wrong words...is to scratch out all the useless words...

Ace Box Bar now is Dubliner @ Vandalia and University--all parks are on opposite side of I-94 (south side) and asking people to remember that a bar had a different name 2 years ago is a bit much...Nice thought, but a reach, I think. Not real close to Newell either. Vandalia, Transfer, Prior as you head East...Newell on Prior 2 blocks N of University--not close.....
