Matty B\'s is the home of the Cooler Crew. We\'ve got a party going on every evening from 8 until the clue is released. Sunday night, if the hunt goes that long, the bar will be open but food will not be available. 

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

For everyone who feels better once it's online -

Hunters can be surly but in clue-time itÂ’s early

Be safe, friends, and in the hunt revel

Near land that is high the treasure is nigh

Vagueness rules and thatÂ’s on the level

I think they put the saftywarning becaused they used the word high.

can you imaging them not using a safty warning with that word in the clue?

Also applies to us having to move our butts in the woods.

Okay...

so the frog is down inside of the pond... which means that the land, surrounding it is up higher.

has anybody checked the frogs butt yet? :cool:

I wonder if "Vagueness Rules" could be grafitti somewhere? Though that would be a strangely specific landmark for them to use, which in turn would be a remarkable bit of irony.

Part of Pikes island is in Ramsey county.

Near land that is high the treasure is nigh

Near land that is high the treasure is near

why use near twice?

if you are near high land the treasure is near you, but not near the high land?

HL~~~~~You~~~~~Treasure

or if you are near high land and the treasure is near is the treasure on the high land?

Treasure/HL<<<<<<<You

near land that is high could be a hill, a peak, a summit, a crest.

For Kitch -

Fort Road Bridge is a girder bridge that spans the Mississippi River between St. Paul, Minnesota and Fort Snelling, Minnesota. It was built in 1960 by the Minnesota Department of Transportation and was designed by Sverdrup & Parcel Engineering Company. It replaced an earlier bridge, built in 1880 and apparently with a metal arch design.

I like how the clue gives a bit of safety within it.

Seems to me that HF/Crosby etc are parks that need help in that area.

If there was something like a Golf Course then we would hear about staying away from there. So far no word on that.

there is no meantion of grills or frills or play areas nothing about anythingaround or in the park.... WHY because there isn't much but nature. I still think hf/crosby

blackcat

you think he's trying to tell us there is a land mark on the level, top level of the park that will tell us proof postive that it's in that park

Last time it was in HF...

This is the start of something big

he was hinting at the mississippi river starting in Itaska and there is an Itaska street above hf park

If you want to use your anagram and mine together in the first sentence:

Welcome "a second win" and "a lower tree stump"

a second win= ice and snow

a lower tree stump=temperatures low

I have no feelings that either is necessarily meaningful at this point... but there it is

This clue so blatantly says "Highland", but Highland isn't a big or complex enough park for a clue 3 'giveaway'.

Then again.......
