Here are the first three clues. New clues will be available at The Citizen at 8 AM and 5 PM daily starting tomorrow, June 5th. The hunt ends at Noon on Sunday.
If you find the Golden Spike, immediately return it to The Citizen office, located at 14491 North Forest Blvd., to qualify for a $250 instant cash prize.
The Citizen will also award an additional $750 to the finder if he/she has a 2008 Hugo Good Neighbor Days "Golden Spike" button.
I spent a little time in Hugo over lunch today. I feel pretty good about Oneka Lake Park. It's a huge open area with lots of grassy and swampy areas to search. If you head out there, please wear boots and take a garbage bag along with you. It's very wet and alot of misc trash lying around. I'm not sure if I'll have any time to look again.
I was thinking that clue kind of leads me to that Air Field along side 61 there in Hugo!?!?! but I don't know of a park in that part of Hugo?? anyone?? I dont know Hugo all that well!! so I couldn't say!!
Oneka Park is the only place I do know of in Hugo. We cut our Christmas tree at the tree farm at the end of Greene Road and adjacent to the south end of the lake. Clue 5 says, "City folk pine for open spaces". Maybe they mean the city folk who drive out there for their pine tree? And look at the border of trees along the tree farm property on an aerial map. "These lands have borders you may not pass". Definitely a border.
That's all I know. You might be on to something, MrMedHunter.

White Bear Lake starts June 19th, can't remember if we need a button for that one. I don't really even care about the prize, I just want to end those women's streak.
