Recent Clues: 
 


 

Clue #1 Congrats to the finder, to all a reminder 
To hunt hard from first to last clues 
Medallion I is history. Now a new mystery 
Begins -- strap on your hunting shoes 

To some its demented, for all unprecedented 
But hunters’ thirst must be quenched 
Tell sister and brother we’ve hidden another 
In a park where a body can be benched 

Our 2nd prize? Don’t laugh -- 10-thou cut in half 
So get out there even if it’s snowy 
And as a special bonus -- some might say an onus -- 
A meal with our own Clueless Joey 

Good hunting to you, let this be the first clue 
Think of a woodsy retreat 
It won’t be so hard if you channel the bard 
You’ll get warm and smell pretty sweet
Clue #2 If you\'re thinking big you\'re sure to dig 
Near flora with growing pain 
Winter or summer is never a bummer 
A menagerie of fun wild or tame
Clue #3 Success on the third clue will never do 
We had to stash a second 
Round you go if you seek to know 
Where swatters of orbs are beckoned
Clue #4: A walk in the park can be a lark 
If cell phones are left at home 
Heed the siren of your desirin\' 
And do not revolt against this poem
Clue #5 Over hill and dale hit the trail 
With a handy locating device 
Fulfill your wishes like loaves and fishes 
And put your victory on ice
Clue #6 A famous singer and a diamond dinger 
Might put you oh so close to the spot 
With the whites of your eyes you should look for the prize 
Within this convenient plot
Clue #7 Don\'t turn up your noses at the city of roses 
The home of the park that you seek 
It\'s just north of town so come on down 
Our hunt is not for the meek
Clue #8 Don\'t go mental just head for Central 
Lexington Avenue will show you the way 
Your spirits won\'t sag when you see the big flag 
Into the trees you want to stray

America’s touring menageries slowed to a crawl under the weight of the depression of the 1840s and then to a halt with the outbreak of the Civil War. Only one travelling menagerie of any size existed after the war: The Van Amburgh menagerie travelled the United States for nearly forty years. Unlike their European counterparts, America’s menageries and circuses had combined as single travelling shows, with one ticket to see both. This increased the size and the diversity of their collections. Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus menageries advertised their shows as the “World’s Greatest Menagerie”.

Does it seem odd that they'd put the conservatory and zoo off limits and then use them so prominently in a clue??

Thanks Terry :grin: We've sure missed youz all too, there is nothing that can compare to the Cooler Crew!

Yes. Very fishy.

Means they should be in view - or at least in the area. I guess not all things are visible any longer when they write these clues.

So who's going to be the first to dig up the frog!?!? LOL!!

If you're thinking big, you're sure to dig

With Flora with growing pain

Winter or summer is never a bummer

A menagerie of fun wild or tame

Could be a nasty trick....

If you are already thinking a big park then you will be sure to be digging..... a lot for nothing.... if you take this clue the wrong way.

I think it's CoNo for now... but still something about it.

menagerie makes me think of the circus juvantas at highland,

but not much else fits,

flora in winter - roseville

I think I'll just pick Como for now on. Seems it's the most popular with the clue writers.
Wed, 01/24/2007 - 10:01 PM Permalink
OT

I agree, Terry. But you know people are going to be all over that regardless. Why take the risk with that clue?
Wed, 01/24/2007 - 10:01 PM Permalink
tom

I believe this clue points to Como, but a gut feeling is telling me that its telling us something that is nearby. Someone said that a bard was pigs eye. I think that the the Phalen family had something to do with Pigs Eye. I can't remember if its Pigs Eye or the Shcmidt.

Any County fairs in a park? If they make a 2nd clue, I don't think they will come right out with a zoo and conseventory.

Brassmonkey

agree with otis, como is large and this is straight forward, but with what we did to the writer last night, do you think they would chance it and tell us straight out. I feel skeptical, but Como it is for now.

I already googled that and cant find any animals in their performances.!!

Could menagerie refer to street names. Doubtful, but I think I 'll give it a looksy.
Wed, 01/24/2007 - 10:05 PM Permalink
OT

The clue says "you're sure to dig NEAR flora with growing pain". So how close do you think people are going to be digging up around the conservatory now! Holy cow!

And there are a lot of people who don't even read the places where you can't dig. Oh boy.

I have to think its something else. Not the conservatory or the zoo. Hmmmmmmm

"flora with growing pain" is bugging me. Could this be a Rose with its thorns. Or Thorn Street?

New Daddy

I may be wrong but I think the ants in the new rainforest at como use their sense of smell to communicate.

now I know it is time to go to bed.

New Daddy

agree growing pain is weird I tried to anagram it but did not come up with much

I do like the growing conservatory idea, espicially the panes of glass growing.

but it still seams unright

Bugs me too.

Could be Orchard Park and Rec?

Me2's old mock hunt brought that to mind.

Good luck BrassMonkey, hope ya find it. Lemme know if I can be of any brainpower help. As far as I'm concerned, I've resigned myself to the fact I'm not meant to participate in the hunt this year. At least not as far as actually getting out to a park.

not to jump to yesterdays clue, but anyone read the book "Sister and Brother". Its made by a local auther.

If this is throwing us into CoNo only to be moved somewhere else later, it would follow other recent hunts.

I'm going to go sleep on this. Maybe I'll get out during the day some tomorrow. Depends on things at work - but it could happen.

I just see lots of trouble with this clue. I expect to see an announcement by the PP to stay away from the conservatory and the zoo.

You think the PP will hide at at Como Again? Back in 2002 people were parking in the street at the last clue.

Watch what you call Frogtown. I know some very nice people who live there.

If they were worried about parking they would not have put it at HF

Are there any Ramsey county parks that have held a travelling circus or county fair?

Any wild animal sanctuaries?
