Has anyone ruled out Mounds? I desided to look at all the parks today and only got to about half of them. Any way while I was at mounds I really didn't notice anything that would really make it there. Mounds is a huge park and if they put it in a huge park I think that we might at least know that by now? Also what are people's thoughts on Phalen?

My $0.02, based on nothing:

Battle Creek is out - way too close to last year's park, Conway Newell, Linwood are out - last year was a tiny park, they probably wouldn't do that two years running

I have a TON of slogging to do to catch up on the theories.

AHHH!! Finally done slogging through 500 messages of mainly BS. Like I said last night, I wonder how many hits of acid this clue writer takes to get so damn creative???

While I was at Phalen I noticed that statue type thing that could be considered a tower or 2. If you look at it that so it is in the north it does only look like one tower.

Did any of you have troubles with this sight earlier. When I was on earlier I updated and then it said the the page was unavalible.

Has anyone taken a look at the part of battle creek park that used to have the ski jumps on them. Not the part with the sliding and stuff but the part off of 61?

I haven't been to Phalen yet. Since they lock the doors at night, it makes me think they'd be too uptight to have people there looking for the medallion. But I could be wrong. But it hasn't been there since '83. Isn't Phalen close to Conway?

Phalen is on wheelock parkway

It is not always by plugging away at a difficulty and sticking to it that one overcomes it; often it is by working on the one next to it. Some things and some people have to be approached obliquely, at an angle.

Wish they'd drop it at Como again. But methinks not this year.

Everyone seems to have their own oppinion about what park it is and I think that most are partial to one park and they have a real hard time getting off of that park

Went to Phalen today around 2:00, There was about 25 people out there. The clues seem to fit, also there is a street called Brighton, that runs right into the east side of the park.

Troy/Kitty - Nope. Thass not what I'm thinking.

SueBee... Only way I know how izz the way we did it with the old system - back space on the numbers at the end of the URL, and then type in what number you want, and hit return.

Alot of people still think that ace means an ace in tennis like tennis courts. I have also heard theories of the 1st star bank, ace playing card, and a piolot

Sleuth... I think pace and chase mean running paths or a track... ace could mean as in tennis or of course number ONE .... astute = statue ... not sure if that means anything....

Mushie I will definately keep you posted...LOL!!!

I like the astute=statue thing...may be important...I have a gut feeling about Linwood, without having even been there yet...

Has anyone thought that maybe they are just using some of these words because they rhyme and not because they mean anything?

I was at Linwood twice - some clues fit and some don't
