I'm not disputing that it's possible, just less likely than the highland noodle.

Good reasons it could be highland as well. I hope tonights clue nails it to one for sure.

    I like Highland, but the lack of water, woods, green, or any other golf link has me troubled. It seems like the natural clue. Does that bother anyone else?

    Where's a good anagram clue when you need one.

    I anagramed bent and tent, but was one t too many to come up with Bennett as in Bennett Lake for Central Park in Roseville.

    Went out to Highland for about an hour, round about 8 pm. Did some good, random, uneducated digging. I'd say there were about 100 folks there.

    I went by Highland today after work it was pretty active. I live close to Highland but forget how big a park it is, even when you eliminate the golf courses.

    I'm thinking tonights clue would be a good time for an anagram. I've got Andy's Anagram Solver ready to go.

    I use that all the time during all of our hunts. I bet he's getting hit pretty good in the last few days.

    I dunno.... the clues lead to Highland... but it just seems like it's too much of a given..... I'm very leary.

    I'm with you. I'd love it to be at Highland, but am still not confident its there. I don't feel too strongly about any other park. BC is way too big to be this wishy washy on the clues. We'd know by now if it was there (my opinion).

    Same if it was at Highland

    I'm not confident about any one park either.

    I think we could get sent anywhere yet.

    We went out to check on a few things for my satisfaction or for a couple other folks that needed someone to scout out some things. We saw a couple hunters at IM, a couple at Cherokee, and a fair number at Highland.

    I think tonights clue will be interesting but useless, like "and the girls shall be happy to dance", or hedda gabber

    Just had an idea pitch as in tree sap. by a pine tree?.

    As much as I'd hate to say it, do all you early Crosby hunters remember what we were saying about all the naysayers last year when they said they wouldn't hunt in that park because it was too easy? I feel like I'm on the other side of the fence this year. But I might need to learn from that experience and buckle down and head out there no matter how obvious it seems. It is a pretty big park. Maybe not as woodsy as Crosby but big nonetheless.

    Only 2 hours till we find out a bit more.

    Who's gonna post the clue tonight? I can call it in to whomever will be on later.

    Pitch a baseball. Maybe simple as a baseball diamond?

    So what park do you think it is in??

    I also remember being at HI on clue 11. There is something about being burned.

    Things that haven't come up yet in clues - water, picnics, St. Paul, to name a few.

    I think Hill and Glen is pretty straight forward just like last year with "it has not been a very white christmas".

    If it's Highland, I'm thinking there could be some kind of disc golf reference. I remember the names of a few of the holes, I'll try and look if they have them listed somewhere.

    I noodled today until my noodler got mushy. Over cooked.

    I so want to be out during the day and hunting.

    Everysingle clue is pointing towards highland, but keep in mind they used global warming in clue #1. I don't think with all the snow potentially melting that they will tell us this qucik that it is in Highland. Look back to 2003, it wasn't until clue 11 we were given the set in stone clue where the park was. In 2003, we were given hints and hints about the things you had to be in the park to view, along with near by places. I hope toinights clue will help out alot, because its starting to drive me nuts. I'm starting to get a gut feeling that its either in a small small park in St Paul, or its out of St Paul in a ramsey county park.
