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

THANKS! I've a GREAT teacher! :sillygrin:

But it could be Henry James, Henry Higgins...

Too much of a stretch, I think.

But I've been wrong more years than I've been rite.

Bear, Lexington also goes by Central and there's some kind'a Rose street up there, but I don't think Central Park.

Can you get any of the other clues to fit? Not that I think Henry fits...

"Desirin is a scientifically formulated, breakthrough dietary supplement containing a proprietary botanical extract that acts synergistically to promote female sexual function." Must be Vulcans writing these clues.

I just got back from IM, Mommy. Not many there, but it's pretty chilly and there was a parade going on after all.

Drove through Como and lots of people, Carnival stuff going on, but didn't see many carrying shovels or rakes.

IM is very compelling. :smile:

Um, I don't know Green. I just looked at a map of Como and there's a "Chatsworth Ave." that runs into the south side of the park where I was last night with the Diggin' girls.

Tonight's clue will cinch it. My Magic 8 Ball doesn't lie. :grin:

Okay, Bear. I'm not following you. What does Chatsworth have to do with Thoreau and/or Waldon [Pond]?

Darned peer pressure.

Gettin you to smoke, drink, listen to bad 80's hair bands AND hunt at the wrong park.

Okay. Here's some more noodling. Perry CoNo was affiliated with NBC.

What's the NBC 'channel' here?

Green - that would be Lexington and University - where White Castle, the bank and the new Wilder building is going up.

Trying to figure out what the non-cellphone issue is, Greenio. Either a thoreau angle, or chat-worth,

For the record, the chats-worth idea I was told was come up by Chris Digger.

lilslim

wouldn't the clue be leading you away from chatsworth then?

I dunno, that's an awful stretch.

But then I guess all my Shakespeare crap is too.

That isn't Central - It's Como Senior that is on Rose very near the eastern part of the lake.

Ter, the Piper of Pied fame did his deal in Hameln - " ham lynn"

Don't know if this matters to you.

Ter, Lexington goes all the way north and is the western boundary of Central Park.

Nope. Don't matter. They Pied Pipered us for a Highland hunt once.

'mom'

We haven't been up to check out Central park yet - although the thought has occured to me. I just really don't want it to be in Como.

We did Mounds and Wakefield yesterday -- and a little poking around at Como. Nothing *felt* right. I like the Burns/English, tennis, Thorn St. and beacon at Mounds. I like the kiddie carousel, Summer St. and Frost Ave. at Wakefield. Como has a lot of the clues pointing to it, but what year doesn't it???

And we drove through Phalen. I can see things lining up there too. But 2 of the parking areas were closed for some work -- I would hope they wouldn't purposefully drop it somewhere with extra bad parking.

Mounds also has Sultan of Swat fields.

But what's the growing pains and the wild and tame collection(s)?

WHOA! JOE!!!

And the stay away from revolt?

I don't think it has to be over-analyzed.....Wild kids playing on the playground, tame couples out walking the dog -- or sitting on a bench.
