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

No connections from me... but if you ever read about these guys... some VERY brave men. 741 I believe held back over 2000 CSA soldiers until more Union back up arrived. I believe only like 34 left alive or something like that... Unless I am thinking of the 1st MN...

Homer

Wonder... If you hit a home run outta one o'those ball fields, where would it go?

Ter, that bird sanctuary is where I channeled the bard. Ho's monument's on that path. But if you hit a Homer outta the western ballfields it *could* end up in the Audubon area...

Also, Como Blvd.'s there which could be be the channeld bard...

Do you think that we're hung up on Como, and forcing the clues to work there? How about, forgive me, the possibility it isn't in the city?

It says Ramsey Cty in the rules. I like Como, but I fear it for its many easy connections.

Find a different park with a menagerie. That's the clue that is keeping folks at Como.

What if the siren is the pied piper? Hamline along with the Battle of Midway and Lexington would be giving us streets.
