I also noticed that the headquarters for the southern division of Department of Natural Resources is directly below Mounds off of Warner. Hence the defintion of chase

The radio tower is west of Newell and is visible at night, but only from some parts of the park, especially those near the tennis courts

Boreas, king of winds; Titan, North Wind; Euros, East wind. Zephyrus, West Wind; Notos, South Wind. Downtown St. Paul is King Boreas's direction

I am assuming Boreas's home is downtown St. Paul, makes more sense to me than North

I must go now but in closing I would like to thank you all for not compacting the snow in the park where it's obviously at.. makes shoveling much easier for me. Thanks

I thought the tower with the lights was the radio tower to the west and the other was the smokestack, also to the west. However, looking in Boreas's direction may simply mean look to a northern park.

How 'bout space needle at MN State Fair grounds Allison? Water Tower at fair grounds. Setting Pace, Race track at Fair grounds? All good for Newell. Not only is Capitol 2-way tower visible to west, but a second Cellular/radio tower one block away as well. Thoughts any way.

If you can only see the radio tower at night, and only from some spots, then that explains why they say should be able to see a tower OR two.

Anyone agree with 'tower or two' actually being 'a SINGLE tower' and 'the NUMBER two'??? OR would mean you could see them both from the park/hiding spot/area... meaning maybe they are nearly in the same line of vision but not close enough to guarantee seeing both of them??? Unless theres a tree blocking the second tower im leaning towards looking for the number two and a single tower...

The worst thing about newell last year was that damn tree that looked just like a 4...it had been cut not too long ago and it made you believe it was there.

Seen that one to Highlander, had it lined up with all kinds of stuff and was diggin like crazy, especially after the 9, 5 , 4 clue

I agree about last year and Newell, but if you walked into any park with these clues you could make them fit. Especially the towers, that is a clue which tells you what area of the park to look in not what park it is in.

See you all later, I have to spend some quality time with the family so I may get out when it counts. Good luck to all

Kay...of course...but there was a big story on the news like a week ago about how we are the only school that allows smoking inside...so they moved the smokehouse into the 4th floor, shame for Mr. Peper...he has to walk down a hall now :)
