Rob'sWay- St. Fair or Fairview, both clues 5 and 7 would be refering to each of them if it is at Newell. My question is why refer to them twice? In separate clues? Doesn't make sense, not in the way the clues have been written for the past 10 years where each clue HELPS build upon the others, NOT repeats them.
I just got a call from my friends out digging in the snow and they said someone drove through the park holding something that looked like the medallion and were screaming that they found it. Is there a number to call to see if it has been found or somewhere on the web to check it out?
What do you want elaborated on? To be honest, at this point I suspect there isn't much more and all the other things we've come up with are accidental coincidences.
I'm sorry, but in #5 the clue gets you to the word "Fair" and you can assume "Fairgrounds" and/or Fairvew.
I don't really believe the fairgrounds have much to do with it personally. I would read "fairview" from both 5 and 7, cause it is more prominent than the fairgrounds.
Medallion have you ever thought that maybe they will do the Fair or fairview thing a couple clues because its not a big park considered to the likes of phalen or como or highland?
I certainly thought it was wrapped in newspaper when I found that paper at Iris. My guess is it has something to do with the Vikings. Why else bother bringing them up? Just a guess though.
Clue 5 only said Fair. You could jump to Fairview, which is probably bad writing on the cluewriter's part, but I believe they only meant to look for a park in the vicinity of the Sate Fair. I don't think they meant to give you a street name already.
Yeah, Green, I'm with you on the "well trained eye" thing too. I thought along with "read this well" the clues were pointing to an anagram or hidden meaning of some sort. But I couldn't find anything like it!
think the measure has no meaning to taylor... i think the measure will have to do with pace in an earlier clue... how many paces... yet to be given in clue. A Pace is a length of measurement
BUT. I still think that if you hide the medallion in a park next to fairview, just south of the fairgrounds, you know that once you refference the first, people will jump to the next. Right? So why bother with two refferences?
To be honest stallion, it seems to me these clues were not written all that well. I think we all expected a bigger challenge and so we keep assuming there's something deeper in all this than what seems to be obvious. But at this point I plan on bowing to the obvious and wondering how they could botch it up so badly. The cluewriter must not look in on us after all to see how we think.
agree its so many paces from something... what that something is i have yet to figure out lol.... im still not sure of the park yet!! i also think of a well-trained eye being our eyes reading or i think of aiming.... i know theres an ames street but it doesnt hit anything but prosperity... my wife even thinks the paces from whatever it is were lokking for is going to be the point differential of the vikings loss...lol now theres some noodling
It's either something literal: as in the spinning light on the tower at Mounds.
Or it's a metaphor for something else. If it's a metaphor for "wheel" that doesn't really fit for me, cause a wheel isn't a turning machine. You could come up with much better metaphors for Wheeler st. if that were your goal.
I don't think there will be another clue. Too many "angry" folks from last year bock at Newell this year. :) They're going to find it, or die trying! Hope ittiz Terry...
tommorow
Maybe ill see you out there, well talk to you all tomorrow morning if any of you will be on. Well goodnight everyone if ya smell what im cookin?
fair is only the opposite of cloudy to those who believe its in newell... look up cloudy and fair and they do not have opposite meanings

That's my whole trouble with Newell . . .
AW
I love your thoughts so far, but could you elaborate further? Pretend you know for sure that you are right and explain everything to a tee
Well this is the year 2000 and things could be different by the way has it ever been at newell yet?

#5 refers to the State fair only. Most jumped the gun to include Fairview, but Fairview was not referenced until Clue 7
Found in Newell 1984, near Hewitt Ave and Wheeler St.
People do that cruel crap every year.
It was at Newell in 1984.
What do you want elaborated on? To be honest, at this point I suspect there isn't much more and all the other things we've come up with are accidental coincidences.
YES YOU CAN CALL 6512285464
Hey Allison do you think it could be wrapped in newspaper? you know with that read this well thing?
I'm with you, Stall.
And why "FAIR"view and "WHEEL"er???
Last year, "a row of trees" - wood row - was Woodrow. Not, "Wood" Wilson. Not "Row" Wilson.
Know what I mean? And a "well-trained eye" going to MASH to Hawkeye to Pierce Butler is like really going on and on.
Well-trained means a well train-traveled train bed, as well as make sure you're eye's seeing the *correct* track.
I'm sorry, but in #5 the clue gets you to the word "Fair" and you can assume "Fairgrounds" and/or Fairvew.
I don't really believe the fairgrounds have much to do with it personally. I would read "fairview" from both 5 and 7, cause it is more prominent than the fairgrounds.
According to my dictionary, fair means "cloudless". I didn't look up cloudy but I assume it means "with clouds"
Newell is dug up
HEY ALLISON I DO AGREE IT SEEMS THAT TERE ARE TO MANY PARKS AND NOT ENOUGH CLUES OR REAL DESCRIPTIONS TO GO BY
clear means unclouded not fair
My head hurts

pleasant scene = fair view
turning machine = wheeler (as in an 18 wheeler)
make the right measure = taylor
there u be... im working on a cool map of newell as we speak
Didn't they call a playground a "pleasant view" once in years past?
Yeah, Green, I'm with you on the "well trained eye" thing too. I thought along with "read this well" the clues were pointing to an anagram or hidden meaning of some sort. But I couldn't find anything like it!
My dictionary says "Cloudless". Maybe yours says something different. Clear can also mean cloudless. English tends to be redundant that way.
HEY ALLISON THE VIKINGS DEAL IS A GOOD THING I THINK YOUR ON TO SOMETHING
well if you read clue 4 well you can see that the first letters in each line spell out "WARS"
http://www.stpaul.gov/depts/parks/userguide/Newlmap.gif
It doesn't matter though as I've said before. When you're out there digging, you look at EVERYTHING and worry later about how it fit the clues.
think the measure has no meaning to taylor... i think the measure will have to do with pace in an earlier clue... how many paces... yet to be given in clue. A Pace is a length of measurement
My guess, and its just a guess, is that measure refers to city blocks, in terms of figuring out how big a space is in between the two items.
Allison, I'm hip to your jive on clue five.
BUT. I still think that if you hide the medallion in a park next to fairview, just south of the fairgrounds, you know that once you refference the first, people will jump to the next. Right? So why bother with two refferences?
I STILL THINK ITS IN MOUNDS AND YOUR ALL BLOWEN SMOKE IF YOU THINK ITS IN NEWELL OR THE FAIRGROUNDS.
Were, I think ittiz been given...
"Set your own pace and it could make you an ace."
And #7 talks about court... Think you pace to/from the tennis court.
Stallion? Are you going for Green's theory over mine? I'm hurt! (hehe, just kidding)
Yeah, you're right Allison, you have hashed it over pretty well. Too many possibilities to be "absolutely" sure anyhow.
I hear ya Snow Lifter!
SO WHAT DO WE ALL DO ?
Thanks Bones....
Wait for another clue.
I'm going to bed....I'm hitting the slopes tomorrow at Welch. I need some rest...
Does anyone know what the record is for the least # of clues the thing was found in?
3rd clue it was found
To be honest stallion, it seems to me these clues were not written all that well. I think we all expected a bigger challenge and so we keep assuming there's something deeper in all this than what seems to be obvious. But at this point I plan on bowing to the obvious and wondering how they could botch it up so badly. The cluewriter must not look in on us after all to see how we think.

WHAT YEAR?
Turning machine, that's been bothering me too.
It's either something literal: as in the spinning light on the tower at Mounds.
Or it's a metaphor for something else. If it's a metaphor for "wheel" that doesn't really fit for me, cause a wheel isn't a turning machine. You could come up with much better metaphors for Wheeler st. if that were your goal.
I'm starting to think Mounds . . .
I don't think there will be another clue. Too many "angry" folks from last year bock at Newell this year. :) They're going to find it, or die trying! Hope ittiz Terry...
I'm going to toddle. Good luck, Everbuddy!
Actually, it was found in 3 days, but that was when there were two clues a day on weekdays, so it was the 5th clue.
THANX STALLION DUDE MOUNDS IT IS
