lots of ideas floating in here. A couple ideas of my own. Two towers...Assumption Church? King Boreas' Direction...Downtown...I believe boreas is dethroned each year in downtown.

What about the term "inspection"...any thoughts?

George...I'm really not sure, I only see him in the weight room and we haven't talked about it...I'm sure he will, he got into it pretty good last year.

Another thought...They will not even let you get out of your car in the parking lot by the Highland towers. We were chased out of there last year.

will do

MacGrove, i dont think searchin by the towers but more of using them to line up somewhere else in the park, that is if it is at highland

I agree...I saw previows mentions to the par 3 there and just tryin to steer people away to save them time.

The Artist For…

yeah, we did last year...it's gonna be kind of hard this year...we have a job at the same place and we split hours so If I'm not working he is and vice versa

you cant use the water towers at highland because no matter where you are they are to the west

The Artist For…

red dog: if I said it once I've said it a thousand times, if you come over the hill on snelling ave off w. 7th...the towers are to the north with one hiding the other.

George_Y2G_

I think it is north, but is everyone else convinced what King BOreas' directionis?

George...there is a separate site run by someone...not the pioneer press

I am new to this, but can "towers" mean the Landmark Towers, the Towers of Galtier, the Assumption Church? All of which are downtown. Someone suggested "Ace" meaning reference to an airport - like Holman Field. I am lean toward downtown right now.

Boreas called St. Paul the Capital (in the legend) so I wonder if the Capital grounds could be it? Are the capital grounds considered a park?

refuse to post that site the guy that runs it had about 100 posts one day, plus was just there and nothin goin on

The Artist For…

Annette ... unlikely that it's downtown and as far as I know the capitol grounds are NOT a park...besides, they wouldn't want the capitol grounds tore up in the first place

yes, capitol grounds is a park, it was hidden there a few years ago, in some earmuffs, which, it I heard right, someone picked up and threw back down because they thought it was a treasure hunter's earmuffs . . .

Sorry Terry, but word gets around . . .

But, still, to have the medallion in your own hands! That's pretty impressive!

I don't think ace is implying any sort of airport. If it were, I think the clue would tell you to LOOK for an ace instead of saying that YOU could be an ace. My gut feeling is they mean a treasure hunting ace if you can interpret the clues right and set your own pace, though I still don't know what they mean by set your own pace. I suspect however, it's something tricky since you need to be astute.
