Rapscallion: A rascal; a good-for-nothing fellow.

Swede HOLLOW has been known for a long time as a hangout for the Rapscallions!

After hearing green I'm ready to put PHALEN back to #3 on the "A" list!

"A well trained eye is one reason why a good hunter stays on the attack" Does it not strike anyone that this sentence doesn't make any sense? My guess is it must have another meaning and track may be just a word to rhyme, but I think line 2 is the significant one.

Has anyone been out to Iris Park yet. I know it is small, but has anyone actually looked it over to rule it out or in?

My daughter called me and asked to help with the clues, old hand at this(regretfully unsuccessful) but oh so close. Found this board while surfing and think it is great..

In early 80's lived down the street from Newell, spent many hours digging (2-3 feet of snow), finally gave up to get warm, all said it was somewhere else, and lo and behold someone found it there. My take on clues is that is where it is again..keep looking.

Managed to get E & H's Dad to finish putting dinner together. So I'm back at the slogging. Would love to go out tonight, and if #7 points to Phalen or Swede Hollow, I probably will be heading out.

thx green

has anyone gotten or seen the full version of the New Treasure Guide , by Mr. Worthman, and if so how much is it? and is it worth it ? THANX :) peace

here's a stretch, but my Dad thought of this earlier and i thought it was pretty good:

When he saw hunter and attack he started thinking animals

The lion is the biggest hunter in the animal kingdom....

Then we came up with the St. Paul Lion's Club.

Well, there is a fire pit right in the prime area at Phalen that was donated by the lions club.

  • stretch, but somthin' to think about.....

    If you go to that site, it will tell you where you can get it. Or you can contact Guide, and I'm pretty sure he'll send you one after receiving your check and all.
