Ever since green brought up the Clear Ave idea I've been trying to get the clues to fit to Prosperity Rec Center. I have some ideas but they don't all fit. Maybe a drive by tomorrow.

Suddenly, Battle Creek doesn't seem so off base.

Step, no. There are no tracks at Phalen. There are "walking paths," but there are no "tracks."

In #6, you've got "trained" and "tracks". Now, the Munger trail..

Well, wasn't that once a train track? Was, but I'm not sure about in Phalen... Wait... Yes! No! No wasn't... or was it?

Oh, dear... Am I noodling deeper, or am I stretching things...

I HATE THIS HUNT!!!!

I gotta do some snurfing (sniffing and surfing!) on The 'Net...

Walking paths....tracks.....what's the difference????

When my mom used to say "stay on the right track" it just meant go in the right direction!!!

Reading too deep!!!!!

Rusty, Clear Avenue izz what sent me to Phalen over 24 hours ago. I was digging at 1: 30 a.m. on the west side o'the park, south of the ice rinks, and south of Clear Avenue. I had Clear Avenue 5 minutes after #5 came out.

I lined up two red flashing towers to the north.

Didn't find The Med, but found the Vikings' ear warmer when I went bock in the day! :>

Rust about 5 min. from Phalen. I've been around it so many times i know it like the back of my hand!!!

Staying on the attack seems like it could be another reference to battle (w-a-r-s?). And the use of "lesson" makes me think of the school that's there.

Mom, I like that... But I can't get anything else to match BC.

Step and Rusty, you may have something about "staying on the right track," but I don't think so.

The Munger Trail (Step, there's a HUGE difference between track and trail - at least to me) izz on the east side o'Phalen, and that's Maplewood over there. I don't think they'd refer to it.

MAPLEWOOD IS IN RAMSEY COUNTY

Got news for you, Rusty, that's part of the park. Yup. That western section with the rinks, et al, is part o'Phalen Park.

Dammit....i get so confused sometimes!!!! I think a damn computer is writing these clues....what the hell is this person!!!

Fri, 01/28/2000 - 2:08 AM Permalink

I know Maplewood is in Ramsey County, that's why I don't believe a clue would refer to the Munger Trail.

And I cannot get #6 to fit Phalen. No way.

Bock to the drawing board fur moi!

Mom, I think "attack" is yust used as a rhyming word.

The scarecrow, the tinman and the lion were driving around at parks with toto. We took a wrong turn on the yellow brick road and ended up at OZ. Now "we are on the right track."

Allison -- are you STILL looking at Midway????

Fri, 01/28/2000 - 2:12 AM Permalink
green

Rusty, they're *not* gonna put The Med on any lake because, a) some fool might dig to China, fall thru the ice and drown. Which'd bee Nature weeding out the stupid, but The Med would bee LOST!

Also, on Lake Phalen, there's the car races: "Set your own pace and it could make you an ace."
