I think that if the clue tonight doesn't give us more of an idea of what park to look in, it will be in a small park.

Oh man, I'm getting into the game SO late this year. I just haven't had the energy to stay up past midnight to hear the discussions. I suppose I'm missing a TON not being in the chat room, right? I have TONS of slogging to do. From what I can gather, the park specific has not been revealed. Maybe tonight. Tow towers to the north of the site, picnic shelters, grills, a walk/running path are what I've gleaned so far. Sorry if it's already been mentioned, but does anyone else think "read this well" might mean it's wrapped in newspaper?? whadda ya think?

You've missed quite a bit, but if you hang just a little, you'll see it all repeated a billion times.

Thass a wannabe place. This is where the action izz, as in the past years. And 1/2 the time the place doesn't work. Plus you can't re-read the posts. When they're gone they're gone. No slogging there!

Just us two, but am still friends with the third. Story hasn't changed much since last year although we stopped dating in October. I'm fine, he's not faring as well. Still hurt.

Ok, gotta run. More later. Here pucky, pucky, pucky....

I'm not convinced of the whole ace/tennis thing yet. We'll see how it plays out....

Nice "play" on words, SueBee! LOL!!! Catch you later, kiddo. Glad all three are doing fairly well and you and Puppers are doing great. Does Pupper hunt Meds? :)

Jett, I wasn't able to "see" Steve as I only had a radio that picks up TV waves. It was cute. He was very noncomittal about park! If HE knows, he's not saying! :)

He'd asked me to go out there, but couldn't as I couldn't take off today. If only it had been tomorrow... :(

Hello, Hello, joining late this year. Had 2 b-day parties to host since Sat. Didn't remember my password from last year, so had to sign up a different name. Used to be Shooting Star. I see Wookies had a similar experience.

previous to reading the posts I thought Highland but, after looking over all 2381 posts, my bets on Phalen or Highland.

Woah--lots of messages since 11:45 last night! People love clue 4! Clue 4 is where it gets fun! Drove by my first park, and there were people diggin' Clue 4 and diggin'! Even a blind squirrel will occaisionally find a nut....

Has anyone been to Linwood or Hidden?

Leah, the lack of a "water" clue so far is very suspicious. Makes me think of land locked parks and not any by river, such as hidden...

I've got 3 kids, keep me pretty busy. But they know Mom gets pretty obsessed with this stuff. Hubby even bought me one of thoese head lamps last year for Christmas. I really would be happy if it's at Phalen, I live in No. St.Paul.

couldn't rain and well = water in some way?

Well you have to admit--there is a lot of snow to turn over. Even if someone told me the park right now, I would hesitate to get too excited, unless it was way tiny. Someone has dug a 40' by 40' hole in Newell Park already! Wow.

Wed, 01/26/2000 - 5:26 PM Permalink

Maybe tiny- but they haven't come out and said water yet- that's why I kinda think Hidden

Wed, 01/26/2000 - 5:26 PM Permalink

A lot of rain and a lot of well to make about 2 miles of river at Hidden and its companion, Crosby--just my thoughts.

I read in one of the past posts,that there is a water pump at Phalen

If you drink St. Paul tap, you drink Phalen....30% or so

I think I'll have to check out hidden and some others tonight for scouting purposes! Must run to a meeting. Good luck!

This is the fourth year for noodling clues at this Web site. For the three years *I've* been here, ittiz been said a billion times, "No "water" clue!"

Me? *I* think there *could* bee water. Maybee they're figuring they don't need to mention it. Too much of a give away (tho, it still could come later...)

We're much more sophisticated with a collective think tank, as this place izz, in the late 90's and into the new century than what folks were back even 20 years ago.

I think, and yust MO, that the clue writers are getting more sophisticated, too. I think ittiz hard to say, "Watch what the clues *don't* say."
