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

Seems odd being just a bit in and yet being so close to the end....

You can feel the rush building.....

I know exactly what you're saying Otis. Feels like it should be six clues into this...but it's not.

Does anyone know if there is any significance to Kaufman, Estabrook, or Nason?

I have googled till my eyes are googly, and have found no historical info.

Where the streets named for famous St. Paul residents?

The first name of the muralist of this "menagerie of fun wild or tame" is IVY! (flora). I couldn't make out the last name.

I just marked the last 260 some messages as read.... so I dont know if anyone has posted this...

Im liking phalen right now (when do I not?... it is MY park, afterall)...

I think if its there, it'll be by the rec center area...

Cottage and Forest intersect, right there.... a Cottage in the Forest, could be the woodsy retreat...

flora with growing pains = poison ivy...

Ivy street is right near there...

theres hockey rinks set up every year.... they have baseball fields...

If you're loosely fitting stuff in, like we're normally supposed to... I think this has a good chance.

If I was able to be on the east side right now, and not still stranded in Eagan, I'd be there looking for it.

Someone go and get it for me?

Just back from lower Mounds. Not much gone over out there. Dug up the star and the Wild location.

I left you a present Timmers :wink:

dude... leave that star alone...

as glad I am that it turned out to NOT be a 6 pointed one.... its still damn scary, to see at night time.

You didn't poo in the woods, did you?

Today I saw Leelabell, Mr. Med Hunter, Randahl, Jake, me2, KITCH, and mucluck. Saw the wolves twice, and found a cache that hadn't been found since June.

On another note, where was the medallion hidden in 1965? I know it was at Como somewhere near the Larry Ho monument, but it doesn't seem to be in my treasure hunter's guide.

Wicked Nick!

Awesome noodles, my man!

Been looking for more connections to Phalen.

100 paces due east of the Larry Ho monument. It is marked in the "Collector Edition?". The description is on www.coolercrew.com

Falls in almost dead center between the 2 ball fields

The poison ivy deal hit me earlier... dunno why i didnt think of it last night...

have to admit phalen has not been crossed of my list. I really think that "A menagerie of fun wild or tame" has been given to us as a red herring.

I saw Dharma Lagreg and his son, Inks, Ter, Steve, Mappy Gooey Guy, Tim and his friend, LeeLabell, and Vino.

Missed Jake so I must be off base.

Jake is hunting. He gets the clue and hunts.

I can make a very strong case for Edgcumbe Rec Center.

Clue #1:

"thirst to quench" = drinking fountains

"body can be benched" = an unuasually high number of park benches suurond the kiddie park.

Clue#2:

The mural below shows a "menagerie of fun wild (animals) and tame" (children) in "summer and winter" scenes. The muralist first name is "IVY" (as in poison ivy the growing pain floral).

Clue #3:

Tennis Courts and Baseball fields = "swatter of orbs"

Please take no offense but the first time I heard of Jake is when I told him where I thought the medallion was, which turned out to be right. When is he usually on the board, i havent seen him.

Perhaps round you go swatting orbs=GOLF combined with baseball fileds with Benched might limit our parks?

I did see Jake in Como yesterday. along with the lady who found it in 2001. Como park which i hate.

Growing Pains... A family living in Long Island New York (Across the river from Central Park)

You know... New York, New York... The Big Apple (flora)... Which also has growing pains, as it is too built up...

has to be posted...

I've hunted there a few times. Not much to look over if I remember correctly. And only a small patch of 'woods' that one could clear in 15 minutes. That's the park with the tall old folks building next to it right?

Could menagerie mean a farm of some sort, rather than a zoo..

Thanks for posting. WoW! I would have kept that one a secret. :eyeroll: :wink:

menagerie = A diverse or miscellaneous group

So it doesnt have to be COMO..
