Slipknot is at the X. The WC blues fest is at Roy Wilkins. There will not be parking around the PP until this stuff is over. Does anyone think we should go to the Bulldog rather than Wild Tymes? I like the location of Wild Tymes better because it is walking distance to the paper, but I also don't want people to have to spend money on parking.
I think Dank is in reference to the caves near Dayton's Bluff: ie Carver's Cave, and the other famous one with the native american drawings. It is NOT in them, but is a reference to the area.
I don't have this all nicely packaged, but those who are liking Swede Hollow here's some info I found:
Swede Hollow is nestled between the Dayton's Bluff and Railroad Island communities in the ravine that once carried Phalen Creek to the Mississippi River. The first settler to the picturesque valley was Edward Phalen in 1841 the Bruce Vento Regional Trail now connects Swede Hollow to Phalen Park(Things pointing to Phalen might mean a phalen other than the park)
Talk of making Swede Hollow a park can be traced back to 1900, when Park Commissioner William Hamm was trying to get fellow commissioners in favor of Swede Hollow becoming a city park in memory of his father Theodore Hamm (founder of the brewery in the north end of the Hollow, which eventually became the Stroh Brewery Company.(pig referece)
The early industry attracted Swedish immigrants who settled just south of the industrial area and named the valley Svenska Dalen or Swede Hollow. As the Swedish moved "up onto the street", other immigrant people moved into the homes: the Polish, Italian and then the Spanish Americans. (people have mentioned clues pointing to immigrants, also could relate to "it takes all sorts"
Swedish Enclave & Swede Hollow = bower enclosed
now Swede Hollow is just a park = beasts exposed
add that to the anagram and whatever else has been mentioned, it's a decent argument I suppose.
Has any hunt before used foreign language as a clue? Not to shoot down that anagram, but the general idea that "ANYONE" can decipher the clues seems to not hold if you have to translate a language.
I have to post a few things here I have been on the same thing as MAD dog has But I have a few other things to tuch on one of the biggest is the fact that Afton HILS park is just off upper afton rd and just across the street from BC and I was out scouting that park last night and I get a good feeling out there with some of my other little things I have but are to much of a Strech!! to put on here!!!!!
BUt also ON a nother NOT SLIM!!! Hello its Iceman!!
And if your Beasts are exposed I got TONS OF BEADS FOR YOU!!! LOL
With that above so ONE ONE takes it wrong!!!
I mean IF you come out tonight!!! ok had to make sure no ONE TAKES IT WRONG! IN HERE!!!
How are the little ones doing???
Hope to get to talk to you tonight!!
I will be at the PP tonight!! dont know how or when yet but I will be THERE!!!
I think if you had to know the foreign language you are right-- but if it is in the history that anyone can find, I think it is a valid think to be anagrammed.
That clue said something about "the coldest star will guide you far"... which I (with many others) took to mean the direction North. If it would have said L'Etoile Du Nord, I would have known what it was! Of course I can say that with 100% accurate hindsight. :smile:
I would have never gotten to it backwards. Seeing it on the flag, in a heartbeat but starting with Coldest star, and getting to Polaris from there.. Never. I guess I'm dumb like that.
I would suggest taking Payne up to the Beaumont/Dewry area to park. After hours, there should be parking available at HOPE community charter school (clue 2). If you go in from the Margaret/Bates/Maury side-- the stairs are completely ice and snow covered. Walk down BESIDE the steps instead of on them.

Mad_Dach5und's Complete Clue Evaluation So Far...
(Keep im mind I am doing the cardinal sin of "locking" into one location and trying to get clues to fit it - usually I get burned by clue 9 or 10)
LOCATION: SOUTHERN HALF OF MAPLEWOOD PART OF BATTLE CREEK PARK
Clue #1
Oh great King Boreas, make winter glorious:
Unleash the medallion quest! alluding to an unleashed dog area
We'll be up front: We devote the hunt
To Box, our friend, now at rest A basic clue; paying homage to Boxmeyer
Clue #2
Tramping hill and dell, you may hear tell HILLdale and DELLridge Avenue
About the contests waged of yore FALCONRY by KNIGHTS = Falcon Avenue McKnight Rd
Much of the history remains a mystery
Which we hope to bring to the fore 9 Hole Golf course nearby
Clue #3
All we see was done naturally No buildings visible at all
Water and ice are here Snow, Frozen Ponds, OPEN WATER IN THE DOG DISHES
In this harbor of impressive arbor Completely surrounded by large trees
Approach and have no fear possibly wrapped in a No Fear T-Shirt
Clue #4
Even those in detention during our recent convention, Ramsey County Lockup / Work House -- adjacent Property
Heard a politically hip chick Palin reference - Probably packed with a campaign button
Is it a pig or pit bull, it was argued most fitful, Pig farming done at County Work House, Dog Area
That looks more lovely in lipstick?
Clue #5
It takes all sorts to come and play sports first 3 lines describe perfectly the scene
In this sweet land of fun and frolic of all kinds of dogs playing in that off leash area
With bower enclosed and beasts exposed
You're bound to lose your colic Possible anagram: So you noodle our bicycle tour (Bike Trails)
Clue #6
The dankness of the vale may your spirit impale: Thick stand of pines trees north of Dog Play Area
The setting seems oh so gloomy! - so thick they block out the sun
But be brave, you endless knave, alluding to endless supply of crooks in County Lockup
You'll find it really quite roomy.
This pine tree area looks small when you approach it, but it's really hundreds of yards long:
The area may not be "Dank" now, but its surrounded by ponds and swamp - it sure as hell is "Dank" in the summer!
Another anagram: "Your Spirit Impale" = "Your Tip: Maple Iris"
I remember last year you pinpointed that little piece of public land, wasn't it by Keller? Got pretty much every part of every clue to fit there, lol
We'll see. I'm sold on the aforementioned park that's been discussed, and will be heading out within the hour. :grin:
TOO many open tabs on my computer!!
gotta give the CW props on that one
