I am keeping an open mind...but if these were the only clues to find it with...I'd dig the capital mall.

But then tonight's clue could change all that. I'm not out digging yet.

I figure we got this aced this year. Daughter is seriously hunting with us. She was part of the earmuffs thing.

Let's talk about the clues....not old times.....

Daughter is the ace. She was the one that first had those earmuffs in her widdle hands.

This will be the first year she's digging since I made her put them back where she found them.

I still contend that if I had let her keep those, the medallion would still not be found. They would have fallen into the depths of one of her drawers or her closet never to be seen again.

Old times are good toooooo... Clues are St Paul for now... Can you read the clue writers mind yet.... keep trying....

Terr, you mean you would of "dismissed" them and never looked at them????

Mon, 01/22/2001 - 7:07 PM Permalink
Terry

I obviously dismissed them having anything to do with the medallion. She would have pack-ratted them away and it would have been the only year it wasn't found.

Terr, I'm messin with you,,, But your a stand up GAL....

I do like the idea of it being downtown. There is so much happening there recently - and so much work to bring that area to life.

Mon, 01/22/2001 - 7:13 PM Permalink
Radar

Fats, it has to be on public land,,, or a park... Downtown is not public....

Mon, 01/22/2001 - 7:14 PM Permalink
Terry

Radar - I know you're messing with me...but that's okay. What goes around comes around.

Minnesota Fats - you thinking a downtown park or just the general area?

Mon, 01/22/2001 - 7:14 PM Permalink
Terry

It wouldn't be in a building, but there is plenty of public land there. Just wondering where they could possibly hide it if it weren't in a park like setting.

Terr, thanks for understanding... (knew you would) Fats, there are some parks downtown... What are the chances???

Down town in a public place could get to be interesting. With all the activities down there. Maybe the ice sculpters would really like the hunters doing a job on there handy work.

Hi Radar

It's been at Kellogg, Mears and the Capital Mall...and under a mail box. Rice is out because of the ice sculptures...and I wonder if Harriet Island would be considered downtown. There is also that reopened Shepard Road.

Mon, 01/22/2001 - 7:18 PM Permalink
Radar

In what area then Fats? Public, or park...? There are parks downtown... which are public...

Mon, 01/22/2001 - 7:18 PM Permalink

Yes, Harriet Island is in St Paul...

Mon, 01/22/2001 - 7:19 PM Permalink

I know that!!!!!

But is it or would it be considered a downtown park?

bbiab - need to figure out something for dinner.

There is something that would be bold about doing a general downtown hunt.

Soup is WONDERFUL when you're feelin' like your head's stuck in a bag full of bubblewrap.

Ears are all plugged up...I keep "thinking" I hear something...then I find out I'm imagining it...just echoes between the ears in that empty space.

Yup, congestion... Try sudafed... or chicken soup with some good hot peppers.... it will clear out the stuffies...

Now wouldn't that be a kick if it was on the Parkway strip along the newly opened Shepard? Or along one of the bike paths? Like the one that Follows Shepard from the Airport, to Warner, all the Way to Battle Creek? HMMMMMMM

It is in the bike tunnel below highway sixty one that leads into battle creek. Lot's of "non-park" space if we want to find it.

Mon, 01/22/2001 - 7:38 PM Permalink
Radar

Yes Last years hunt was worth 10K.... but this is the 50th hunt... and it will be a tough one... no easy answers this year...

Other non-park space--Willard Munger trail (ending at Maryland), the WM Trail extension--(ending at L'orient)--if I don't see park soon...
