Alice, a rec center though.....who the heck knows where those are. One would think it's gotta be in a Park like every other year. Right? I guess we'll find out in a few days or so.

theres the Phalen-Gustafson Ice Arena behind Johnson Highschool.

Beth, I was thinking that (S. St. Anthony) a while ago because Raymond and Alexander streets cross near there (Raymond Burr and Alexander Hamilton "duel" from clue #1). That's a big stretch though, I think.

There is an arena over by Palace and Linwood

I think that's the thing. They want to make it harder by using something people aren't as familiar with, and maybe can't get information on as easily. If you have "The Treasure Hunter's Guide" it does list all the rec centers though and gives you maps for the vast majority of them.

I'm afraid that was Aaron Burr Mulder, not Raymond Burr who I believe was an actor.

this kind of a stretch, but theres also Aldrich Arena on whitebear avenue, and thats right in the "hillcrest" shopping area, by "hillcrest" golf course in maplewood, and those hillcrests could be "linking" to that "Hillcrest" rec-center in the Highland area, since that too is near a golf course.

Note that the clues have yet to mention a PARK in St Paul and have usually mentioned that by now.

The referece to GOOD LUCK in bold in the paper I associate w/ a horshoe.

What is the East/West connection to Palace?

I remember when it was hidden NEAR Highland park years back but it wasnt hidden in the park, just near a curb by the boulevard in a gas cap I think. I think we might be dealing with a NON PARK hiding place this year.

Maybe East/West is only saying what part of the park to look.

I like Palace too, me and some friends were out there last night, alot of stuff fits and it has that "feeling", like last year, at Newell, we were standing RIGHT ON TOP OF THE DAMN THING! and we decided to come back in the day time the next day and look for it in the same spot, and then it was found a couple hours later. We had the feeling like we knew it was around. Palace kinda has that "feeling" too.

Is Palace Ave right near Palace Park? Could it be near the street?

where can i find a saint paul park guide book? Anyone?

actually the yellow pages in front tells you lots

I agree with Jorge that they simply meant Good Luck with that, either as a well wish, or maybe a taunt, but I don't think its really a clue.

Beth Rutherford

If you look back at past clues,there were times that they didn't mention a park but it was in a park and found there. Since they haven't given us much to go on yet I think it's a small park or rec center.

Yes Palace Ave. runs right next to Palace

Theres also View Street, and I believe Jefferson is another one, though I dont know what Jefferson would have to do with anything.

I see Palace Rec Ctr (doesn't mention park) has a horshoe pit, and is on 350 View St. and Jefferson "out of view"
