Does anyone know of any real truth to the whole maplewood parks thing? I think the part of battle creek that you can see the water towers, and has the pavillon is on the maplewood side. Other than battle park, I think I am out of ideas. Also, did we decide if boreas was st paul, or to the north?

No hurt feelings, we're all kinda anxious and nervous I guess.

I would say St Paul, cuz he is just the king of the winds according to wintercarnival mythology

North

And Boreas supposedly means North

Can you see downtown from Cherokee? I know that it was just there, but other than mounds I can't think of any parks where you can actually see downtown.

Depends on what park it is in. But I am leaning toward Downtown

THe pavillion at battle creak is on the St. Paul side of the park. In fact the majority of the actual park is in St. Paul. Their are only some walking trails that are in Maplewood.

It could also be at the park of boreas kingdom....when he would spend winters here he would live in and ice palace according to PP mythology..... are they building one this year or maybe the park it was at when it was in all the headlines????

Linwood, is that a park? How can I find that one?

I am leaning toward rice park in downtown

battle creek is run by st paul i think maplewood has given up there rights to the park and it belongs to st paul because so much of it is located in st paul

I can't think of any relief from rain, at rice park, can you? Or something with cooking?

I know Harriet Island has been closed for upgrading but does that mean they couldn't hide it there? It's all ready all dug up but maybe the pavillion and stuff have been removed. Anybody know for sure?

I was thinking about that to, harriet island, is it actually considered a park though? It has a pavillion I am sure barbeques, plus towers to view. Thanks logan, I will write that down and try to find it.

Kiwi, if you would share that would be great, i can't think of anything, it is all of what a block in size maybe two?

Wed, 01/26/2000 - 9:26 PM Permalink

Wed, 01/26/2000 - 9:27 PM Permalink

first of all rice is a park that they haven't ever hid it in

Wed, 01/26/2000 - 9:27 PM Permalink

not to put down your idea, but what about all the ice sculptures? Do you think they would do that to the people who carved those?

Kiwi, that park has been severely off limits for as along as I can remember, one year all of the real statues were damaged and it has been a no no ever since. Soo have fun.

I have driven down to Harriet Island and would be suprised if it was there. Tons of construction, I am sure someone would get hurt down there if people started looking. Dangerous

also there is a concession stand there and it has a thing that you can stand under to get away from the rain

the first state bank has a big #1 on it and you can see it from rice

I do realise this but, It doesn't have to be right in that park

Do you think they would put it in the same park twice? Some of the clues could pertain to conway again.

what do you guys think of Linwood or Newell...both of them had a lot of hype last year do you think PP would hide it there thinking that us hunters would think of it not being there last year???? Just trying to think like PP any ideas?
