Don't feel alone StepDogg...I can only somewhat relate one clue to Newell and that would be Clue #5

Look through the postings of the last two days for info on Newell... it's been picked to a bloody pulp. I am still on Newell, but any thoughts on Battle Creek and "attack"? Could there be Pig's Eye tracks around there?

Hey common is in Vegas so leave that commonisms at the door.......BUT I agree that it isnt in the stadium but RATHER in FOUL ground which is out side the stadium........parking lot........stuff like that......the guy i talked to said that any city owned land that is accesiable and for recreational use is fair game.

Hey Stepdog and Snowlifter, what about all the references to "Well"? Could be a water fountain or tower..... But it fits so WELL with NeWELL ;)

Its not in Battle Creek. The larger half of BC is in Maplewood....and the smaller half has some construction on the sight AND you can see no towers to the north

Snow Lifter -- I wasted sooo much time there last year and everyone was so sure it was there. I'm not going there till' the clue says "GO TO NEWELL PARK"

Studying the past can be quite a blast But there's value as well in the new If you're willing to be an iconoclast The treasure might belong to you ........................................ didn't we say because of well and new in line 2 meant it WAS in Newell last year?? I think so!

No Big Shooter. All you can see is houses when you are in the park facing North.

I think people are reading too much into these clues i just spent 2 hours slogging.... Not all of the clues pertain to whats in the park or where at in the park it is located (in my opinion) some of these clues could be what it is in.... the cloudy and foul reference might just be that cloudy and foul what in st paul is always cloudy and foul?

I doubted you before, but all you Linwood believers in here may be right. Man, after looking at the map, streets, etc. around it, it may be a damn good choice. Wow this is tough.

Snow lifter, "well-trained eye" = "eye trained on a well" = "looking at a well". That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

med freak. As someone said yesterday, St. Paul's neighbor, Mpls. is always cloudy and foul. OK maybe not cloudy but definitely foul.

doc sven

as the garage logic think tank takes a break from packing to go tailgating...it is not in the stadium on the field it is north of the parking lot on the grassy strip by the tracks where tailgating party tents are set up and yes a lot of foul balls go that way it is not on the field u cant get in there

Rusty -- Sort of....i went there today and the spot we thought is in Keller, not Phalen. (keller is in maplewood). But then today I read that Phalen is considered Phalen-Keller Regional Park so i don't know if it can be there or not.

PIE

THE ROCK SAYS

"LET PIE SPEAK"

I just came back from a major scouting trip and have ruled out BATTLE CREEK Off 61! It is now officially off the "A" list!

I've narrowed it to 3 starting with first preference!

1. SWEDE HOLLOW (never been hidden there - newly remodeled)

2. NEWELL (hidden there once or twice pretty small)

3. PHALEN (Ready to bite the dust any minute)

You may ask me why, and I will probably say WHY NOT!!

Doc, man...

I admire your persistance but that's all. When the cops show up and use words like "trespassing" and "destruction of property" maybe that'd serve as more of a deterrant. Have you dug out there yet? And if so...for how long?

I'm not trying to Joe you out, here. But I REALLY REALLY REALLY doubt it has anything to do with midway stadium.

Logan -- the only things i don't get about linwood is

1) Pleasant is the opposite of cloudy, but how is it the opposite of "foul"???? Do you mean like "foul mood" = pleasant mood?

2) Everything you look at is to the west, not north.

Bet I'm starting to like linwood more and more, just need a little convincing.

Who said Linwood? I don't see any streets on my map that fit! What am I missing?

Fri, 01/28/2000 - 3:09 PM Permalink
Climbing Princess

linwood looks tempting but clues so much better aligned with newell still. If not at midway area, still close enough for newell or longford.
