DESTINY----I have not yet totally rules out battle creek only because of the word "attack" was used and the opposites attract since it is in proximity of lower-upper afton road...yet newell everything fits so nicley...it has been gone over pretty well have been there last night and this morning.where is that #$@$#ing thing?
So Miller and Digg thinks it's in Battle Creek or Newell?? No other park?! Why was everyone so gung ho on Phalen? There is no one there and no clue fits there! I hope it's in Battle Creek...but there is no one there! Miller...where do you think it is in Battle Creek?! Did you guys get to Conway Park last year?! I mean --Newell reminded me of Conway last year! Tons of people and cars!!!
Well destiny heres my hunch! NEWELL 1-Fairview=plesant view 2-Wheeler st= turning machine 3-Taylor St= the correct measure 4-two towers to the north 5-Pierce butler route=serve you better(like a butler would) 6-Plenty O' grills and pavillions 7-Evey body else and there mother are there(hope they are wrong)
Everyone at Newell just looks dazed and confused...I love it...we know its there but there is no real logic to the clues as to placement...happy hunting...see you all out there.
Because everyone was at Newellt this time last year...just as gung-ho.
But this year Newell fits every clue without stretching....I won't be positive until tonight but I can't make any other park fit without some major clue-mangling.
has everyone givin up on the capital and i hear the mounds was promising with the turning machine being the airport beacaon very visible , i think everyone is tinking to hard into the clues , im not sure because i havnt been there yet but i think if it were at mounds the pleasent view would be the skyline and the turning machine is the airport beacon anybody been to mounds in here
Jst have to say one thing--i've been reading everyones coments about the park it may be in. Everyone has valid points on to what the clues may be. But I think you are all forgetting one thing, from clue number seven. This is just my guess, but it fits so good I'm convinced i'm right.
like the capital the viking statue is there and if u and the ace , the first bank sign is very visible and aroura ave is in front of this park (king boreas direction ...arora boreallis and there is a church across the street from the statue that has a left and right clock tower that are identical to each other and this is aloso north of the statue , it just feels right there newell does nothing for me when i am there i it pulled in just as many people last year until about the 8 or 9th clue and there going to do it again
yes destiny there is public land around the capital , alot of it it , it is dug up by the statute but there is plenty of other areas to dig yet ... mound is on warner road by the river
dig dug out of 4 i get taste of minnesota (cooking and tents but this is very rough , and 5 i get what it is in a sunny delight bottle i few people have said this
dibgy I agree newell is looking worse and worse.I am thinking mounds is moving up on my list the only thing is that the beacon at mounds is sitting on the bluff looking southish...there is a running track there and there is always a god awful smell(foul) coming from the st.paul sewer treatment plant below the bluffs, ironically next to pioneer press hdquatrs.
Response to post way up there: Mound looks alright. The airport beacon thing is excellent, the pleasant view and a couple other things work, but, these same things work almost anywhere. This is the most stumping year that I've been a part of. Response to other post way up there: Dont know where you're coming from, but Cherokee park borders West St. Paul on one side and the river on the other. It sits at the High end of the high bridge, you can reach it by taking Smith avenue from West 7th St. go over the high bridge and take the first right.
To everyone else: I went to Newell last night just to see it (refresh my memory from many a day spent there last year), c'mon people: Newell Sucks. I am more sure than ever that it isn't there. Not every single clue points to the name of a street surrounding the park of choice. I've heard a whole lot of clues pointing out Newell's surrounding streets, but not much else.
that is it destiny on warner road , anybody correct me if i am wrong , i may take a spin to the capital in a bit newell not for me now but it is fun to visit , i think thats why everyone goes there lol
Hi shovel...ok good point...but Sunny Delight at the Capital? Why there?! So all you other hunters think it's Mounds or Cherokee and maybe the Capitol?!
miller they only want u to look north for the towers i think the beacon is just a reference point to use to line up the treasure like they did at como direction does not matter i dont like mound because the tower could be anything from there thats whats kept me away to many buildings there (the whole skyline infact lol
Just got back from Newell. So many people came and went as I sat and dug my heart out. I worked harder than ever before so sure I had "the spot" you know that feeling that it just feels right!!! Wrong!! But now it's wait for the next clue. I told Q to call if anything fits otherwise I'll wait for morning. I'm getting too old for this!!
DIGBY- I see your point I think we have all got it in our heads that the towers must been seen in the disatnce from the north. I would like to dispell this, but it is hard!
Destiny, at Phalen, NOT by the beach area, but more north towards Keller. You have to get to that part of the park from Hwy 61 (arcade) then turn off. Its near frost ave. and Gateway trail. You can see the towers by KSTP from there.
the reason i am so stuck to the capital is because of the viking stattue , clue 1 and 2 talk about curing a viking depression , and u know dam well this was not written 2 weeks ago so i think they are indeed talking about the actual statue in the park ....
Viking depression... So just how many years have we had Viking depression this time of the year??? Chances were pretty darn good that MN fans would have Viking depression...! I'm now depressed over my new obsession......
miller the towers must be north but the beacon doesnt have to be its a second reference point or maybe third to get an intersection that the prose will be , but a beacon is a better turning machine than a carosel or the state fair ride , and if it was the state fair ride at newell that means it would be a third tower because , they used it once already in the riddle any thoughts on this
Hi, popped out for a minute. I dont know about the capitol. It wouldnt be against the rules for it to be there, I just wonder if they really want it there. It keeps me away to say the least.
To get to Indian Mounds Park (from downtown st paul): take Kellogg, go over the bridge. Take the first immediate right after the bridge and follow instructions to the park.
To get to Cherokee (from west 7th), take 7th st to Smith, go over the high bridge and take an immediate right after the highbridge.
Hi Jose!!!!
Newell is definitely seems to be the front-runner...and that makes me worry
DESTINY----I have not yet totally rules out battle creek only because of the word "attack" was used and the opposites attract since it is in proximity of lower-upper afton road...yet newell everything fits so nicley...it has been gone over pretty well have been there last night and this morning.where is that #$@$#ing thing?
digg-why does that make you worried? newell seems so obvious and is bigger than it seems?
Miller....so tell me the clues that fit with Newell....ok?! Battle Creek...where in Battle Creek? On McKnight Rd?
got to go get some beer and batteries for tonoghts hunt will be back later ya'll
So Miller and Digg thinks it's in Battle Creek or Newell?? No other park?! Why was everyone so gung ho on Phalen? There is no one there and no clue fits there! I hope it's in Battle Creek...but there is no one there! Miller...where do you think it is in Battle Creek?! Did you guys get to Conway Park last year?! I mean --Newell reminded me of Conway last year! Tons of people and cars!!!
agree with digg..it's at Newell...but where..it's big when you think about diggin'
Well destiny heres my hunch! NEWELL 1-Fairview=plesant view 2-Wheeler st= turning machine 3-Taylor St= the correct measure 4-two towers to the north 5-Pierce butler route=serve you better(like a butler would) 6-Plenty O' grills and pavillions 7-Evey body else and there mother are there(hope they are wrong)
hey excavator u in here now
Everyone at Newell just looks dazed and confused...I love it...we know its there but there is no real logic to the clues as to placement...happy hunting...see you all out there.
k.....where is Cherokee...how does one get there? Is it over the high bridge in downtown St. Paul? And are there many people there?!
Because everyone was at Newellt this time last year...just as gung-ho.
But this year Newell fits every clue without stretching....I won't be positive until tonight but I can't make any other park fit without some major clue-mangling.
It was at cherokee like 2 or 3 years ago...too soon for it to be there again.
has everyone givin up on the capital and i hear the mounds was promising with the turning machine being the airport beacaon very visible , i think everyone is tinking to hard into the clues , im not sure because i havnt been there yet but i think if it were at mounds the pleasent view would be the skyline and the turning machine is the airport beacon anybody been to mounds in here
Miller...what's with the Pierce Butler Rt thing? Where is that in the clues?!
still think the capital looks good but havnt figured out what the turning machine is
Digby--where is Mounds?!
digby--
how does mounds fit the other clues?
digby? Capitol Park...or what do you mean the Capitol looks good?!
havnt been there but have been told it fits very well i dont remember who said it
Jst have to say one thing--i've been reading everyones coments about the park it may be in. Everyone has valid points on to what the clues may be. But I think you are all forgetting one thing, from clue number seven. This is just my guess, but it fits so good I'm convinced i'm right.
red..,fit so good??where?? will u share??
Reddog...what are you sayng about clue #7?????
Hi JOSE mi amor!!!! see me?!
like the capital the viking statue is there and if u and the ace , the first bank sign is very visible and aroura ave is in front of this park (king boreas direction ...arora boreallis and there is a church across the street from the statue that has a left and right clock tower that are identical to each other and this is aloso north of the statue , it just feels right there newell does nothing for me when i am there i it pulled in just as many people last year until about the 8 or 9th clue and there going to do it again
havnt been there but have been told it fits very well i dont remember who said it
please ignore posting 8276 it refers to mounds i havnt been there , i mean the capital mall destiny
Digby...the capital..where are you talking about? Around the capital?!
I keep saying over and over...its in Minneapolis just to throw us all off...still thinkin Phalen, North end of park
yes destiny there is public land around the capital , alot of it it , it is dug up by the statute but there is plenty of other areas to dig yet ... mound is on warner road by the river
Capital still hasn't convinced me...i can't find a fit there for clue 4 or 5
Newell is still up top...but it's still early and that could all change tonight.
I had good feelings about phalen earlier...we'll see.
Gonna go do a drive-by of newell...good luck everyone!
it has been hidden on capital grounds before
oh....is Mound down on Sheppard Rd?! By the river?! Digby? Let me know...
dig dug out of 4 i get taste of minnesota (cooking and tents but this is very rough , and 5 i get what it is in a sunny delight bottle i few people have said this
Gahnzo...where in Phalen? I was just there! There are no towers...explain your gut feeling...
dibgy I agree newell is looking worse and worse.I am thinking mounds is moving up on my list the only thing is that the beacon at mounds is sitting on the bluff looking southish...there is a running track there and there is always a god awful smell(foul) coming from the st.paul sewer treatment plant below the bluffs, ironically next to pioneer press hdquatrs.

digby--what do you mean a sunny delight bottle?! And why not a snapple bottle? Why a sunny delight one?!
Hi there destiny.. I believe sunny delight refrences opposite of cloudy and foul: Sunny & delight. It was an old idea from a few hundred posts back.
Hi shovel...ok good point...but Sunny Delight at the Capital? Why there?! So all you other hunters think it's Mounds or Cherokee and maybe the Capitol?!
miller they only want u to look north for the towers i think the beacon is just a reference point to use to line up the treasure like they did at como direction does not matter i dont like mound because the tower could be anything from there thats whats kept me away to many buildings there (the whole skyline infact lol
