Think it's time to pack up the kids and go for a little drive. Bring the clues and the Treasure Hunter's guide, and just go do some scoping. I need to get some visuals in my head, if not to match the clues so far, so tonight's will make more sense!
Just to keep everyone thinking... "Read this well" anagram = A Swede Thrill "Some places to gain relief from the rain" could be a "drain" gain, rain, drain oh well
natives very very upset when people were digging on the mounds back in 87, i beleave their were even lawsuets. sacred burial ground, and archoligal place, not good for us to go their and dig up everything.
MacGrove Man, methinks I'd write off Como. Although I only drove up and down Lexington, the closest thing to two towers I could see from the road were the space needle, and what appeared to be a cone-topped water tower in the west, and a high-rise to the south-southeast. I most definitely could not see DT from my vantage points. Then again, I also really didn't get into the park so take this with a grain of salt.
What are the thoughts on Hidden Falls? Someone said there are visible towers (Ford Plant & VA?) Definite picnic/grilling grounds, shelters, floodplains AND near the airport.... Now I thought about Burial Mounds and there's the Met Airport Commiss Beacon Tower, the Holman airfield & tennis court-"ace". Picnic areas??
I know it--- ugh. What is this mental torture we love so much? After I get off work (which may as well be now considering my attention span) I am off to scope Mounds and Hidden Falls. Tower assessment and complete grill ransack. We'll see. Hopefully tomorrow's clue will be park-related. What are your thoughts on the swede hollow thing?
Lillian today's clue pretty much did it for me and Swede Hollow. From my knowledge of the park, there are no cooking areas to it. That and the park proper is really only the depression between Payne Ave, and what ever is to the east of the park, and between Minnehaha Ave and E 7th St. South of 7th at Payne is where the trail comes out, and there are no picnic/rain protection areas there, though there are a pair of cell towers plainly visible, as well as the brewery and a church to the NE. Of course "Vikings depression" fits "Swede Hollow" perfectly (contrary to a post last night, the Vikings were not just a Norwegian phenomenon, but they came from all of Scandinavia, including Sweden), though one must wonder what the alternate clue would have been had the Vikings beat the Rams.
I'm not sure Swede hollow has a park to speak of. No picnic shelters at Hillcrest...can you actually see the towers from there? What is the park on St. Clair and Victoria???

Back At It: Are you thinking police station because of the careful inspection line in Clue 3?
Winger--
Why not Mounds Park???

After a drive today I would write off Cherokee and Highland...any others to be written off and why.?!

water comes from a well
I think the rise in Gas prices is a conspiracy with the PP, because they know we're all going to be driving all over town until it's found! lol
The Mounds are completely fenced off with wrought Iron Fences.
I was there an hour ago and it looks real promising from the vantage point of Earl and Mounds.

It sure got quiet...
What...did everybody jump in their cas and head to Mounds on my tip...How about a little more input here.
Doesn't Battle Creek have a Sheltered Picnic area with grills...any input would be appreciated
Nope. I'm still here sitting in my office.
Working hard Ares??? Or are you daydreaming of the loot!
yes, BC had a pavillion
has ;o)
What about grills and picnic tables in the same area?
What are the thoughts on Hidden Falls? Someone said there are visible towers (Ford Plant & VA?) Definite picnic/grilling grounds, shelters, floodplains AND near the airport.... Now I thought about Burial Mounds and there's the Met Airport Commiss Beacon Tower, the Holman airfield & tennis court-"ace". Picnic areas??
yes, they have it all
Lillian--
Yes Picnic areas ... a tower or two...tennis courts...picnic shelters...grills. All at mounds park and in a logical order!
I mentioned late last night the Hidden Falls tower views. Has anyone been there to further the investigation?
However...because its logical...it probably isn't corect!
Does anyone know if Hillcrest has a picnic area?
I know it--- ugh. What is this mental torture we love so much? After I get off work (which may as well be now considering my attention span) I am off to scope Mounds and Hidden Falls. Tower assessment and complete grill ransack. We'll see. Hopefully tomorrow's clue will be park-related. What are your thoughts on the swede hollow thing?
Where is swede hollow?
live not far from the hillcrest shopping center, but where is their a hillcrest park?
Hillcrest park is next to the Highland library on Ford Parkway
Hillcrest is on Ford Parkway and Kenneth. No shelters that I can see.
L. Logan-- I don't know where Swede Hollow is, but there has been some interesting twists in the clues having to do with it. ANyone else know?
From Hilcrest- you can see Hihland water towers- but I'm not convinced on this "tower" thing
ah, ok, i was thinking hillcrest park was in the hillcrest area, silly me and that logic. thanks.

Lillian, I may as well be off, too. Nothing can get in this pea-sized brain but MED HUNT! Ittiz ALL I can think of!
Hay, WW! How's my fav youthful adult????
I'll take the blame for the Vikings=Norwegian thing...it was just a thought!
Well there's St.Clair rec center Is that what your thinking of
Yes and NO...the park has a definite name
ONE HOUR and I'm HUNTING until me or sumbuddy else nets $10,000!!! I'm so xcited, I'm about to POP!!!
And a STAIT to boot! Maybee ittiz my lucky day??? ('Hope!)
Linwood
I don't know if Linwood had picnic areas or pavillion
I think ive narrowed it down to 3: Phalen, Highland, or Hidden Falls.
Has everyone left?
