Clue #4 East and west are part of our test though only one is the proper place. West of the River is MPLS and the proper place on the east side of the river is St.Paul.

Gonna find it

Heard talk about Palace this afternoon but no one was willing to say why, you sometimes these people get awfully secretive and thats not why we are here!

The crew wanted to get some random shots of a person digging by themselves, and when we were finished, I was the first to get back to the parking lot and there was a guy sitting in his car with the car running. At first I thought he was looking at a map, but he was reading the paper!!!!! Green asked him if he was a spotter, he got ashen, a little peeved and said "I don't know what a spotter is!" Green and I said thanks and that was it. An interesting side note, it was a state vehicle.

Spotter: One who spots.

Rumor has it there are 'spotters' for the PP during the hunt to let them know if we are close,or damaging somthin etc......
