Yeah, but check this out....

I think they want everyone to think of large towers like water or cellular,, and i also think they want everyone to think "north" for Boreas's direction....

Well I was at Phalen today and they have a huge statue of the Ice castle that was there 10 years back or so...on it there are two towers.

King Boreas (according to legend) lived in the ice castles. And the clue does say "a tower or two SHOULD come into view.

Maybe if you can see the castle statue, you are in the right area.

Also, they use the word "astute" in clue two which means cunning and clever. Well, scramble astute around and you come up with "statue".

Just my opinion.....

Agreed with that section of the park but that's also the GC isnt it? I was thinking more down by the disc golf course. Hidden Falls? -that was my partner in crime's idea. He still hasnt sold me on it either.

Its too early, I need another clue.

agree with the thought that it is in a big park. Highland and Phalen seem to be my two guesses. Highland is my first choice because it contains all the elements mentioned in the clues but they aren't in a close vicinity to each other. Hopefully, tonights clue will narrow it down even more and help us pinpoint the location of the medallion.

Is there a statue at Palace?!

steppdogg-well, the tower or two clue really has me set on it because of the observation tower and the two water towers. Plus the ace and race clues lead me to believe that its somewhere on the south side of the park by the track and tennis courts close to the high school. Last night's clue has me confused though because while there are tons of picnic shelters, clubhouses, and grills around, you have to look west in order to see the towers, not north. I'm not sure if i can rule it out yet because it still may be the indentification part of the hunt yet, but my gut feeling still says it's in Highland. Plus, the last time it was in Highland was 6 years ago. It looks too good right now.
