Clues: 

Clue No. 1 (Sunday, Jan. 21) 
Welcome ice and snow and temperatures low 
There’s no time for cold feet! 
For searchers’ pleasure we’ve parked the treasure 
Where nature lovers each other greet 

Clue No. 2 (Monday, Jan. 22) 
Boreas\' vast realm can overwhelm 
Even diggers used to the long haul 
So here\'s advice to put your hunt on ice: 
Look no farther than good old St. Paul 

Clue No. 3 (Tuesday, Jan. 23) 
Hunters can be surly but in clue-time it’s early 
Be safe, friends, and in the hunt revel 
Near land that is high the treasure is nigh 
Vagueness rules and that’s on the level

At the risk of sounding stupid, can someone describe what an egret is exactly.

I think it is hard to find a park or rec center that does not have some link to nature lover. most have a park bench or tree dedicated to a nature lover.

I haven't seen anyone noodle about temperatures low...so...most likely the obvious link to how warm it has been. but tylenol, aspirin, ibuprofen... all keep temperatures low. could it be in a box of tylenol chewables. I got a box here that would be the right size...

the "each others greet" sounds like an event or meeting or visitors center. a rec center where the sierra club meets, or freinds of the parks ...or the nature conservency has a rally?

I know to much noodleing but I only got one clue.

Okay, my thoughts/musings on the first clue.

Welcome ice and snow and temperatures low

Could be an allusion that the puck is hidden in ice and snow.

There's no time for cold feet!

Could mean there is a warming house. While the clue could be just a reference to the movie, it may come up later that the park is featured in the movie.

For searchers' pleasure we've parked the treasure

Parked could have double meaning here. It could mean that it's in a park, or it could also mean that there is a parking lot, or accessible parking close to the treasure.

Where nature lovers each other greet

This clue to me means that it's in a decent sized park. I feel that this rules out a lot of rec center parks and small neighborhood parks as very unlikely. I think it needs to be taken into context though. A small park like Mears could be a place where nature lovers gather, because in the man-made, metallic environment of downtown the park offers people some of natures wonders.

Henry Park was mentioned: i have been there, very hard to get to in an isolated area with ex-Hippies living around the park. Spooky, with I swear some haunted house on it. Alot of trees, but parking is next to nil.

Skyway drive and highwood drive off upper afton road. google map 2111 skyway drive st paul, no paved road. This Henry dude died and wanted his land preserved when he sold it, but the new owners sold out to developer, the neighbors bought from developer, say Henry would be turning in his grave. Hence, haunted by Henry.

I like Centeral Park in Roseville.

nature - Audubon Society's program is at the fairview community center in Roseville.

They have the nature walks.

and this is all way too much noodling... oh yeah, and my soccer game started 10 min ago without me. oops

    Update from the PP. The gang is standing outside and no one is around to sell papers. So, it may be that we'll just have to wait until it is posted online.
