Your logic works both ways. If it really doesn't matter, why do you feel the need to post it first? If it's going to be posted minutes later why can't your thread wait until the morning?
Look, I get it's not a big deal because it's so early. But what if some night it is a big deal and someone at home figures something huge out (c LEVEL and) and we're stuck at the paper trying to figure it out.
This isn't a debate where we go back and forth and argue. If I see things being posted over there from here I will keep the clues to myself and friends. If you really can't follow a simple request I'll get people's cell phone numbers and send it to everyone that wants it.
Each morn they stand and deliver had been bugging me (I've been at Beaver until tonight) because it seemed to be a military ref. Fort Road runs past Highland...
The more I read this the more it makes me think it's talking about a person. Some military general or something back in the horseback days when "men were men" and then went into politics and, I don't know, turned to crap or something?
Andrew Jackson came to mind. Wikipedia tells me he was born to Presbyterian Scotch-Irish colonists (Och is a Scottish & Irish term). He was a famous military general in the war of 1812 with his most famous victory at the Battle of New Orleans (gentle chestnut, stories of yore, days in the glen when men were men) Then he went on to politics and to be president (the prodigious bore). Not sold on it, but the best I've got at this point. Now I need to sleep.
Glen + (Chestnut) wood = Glenwood Ave just north of the park.
Heaven or Hell = Temple of Aaron Cemetery just to the West of the park
And my Stretcher:
Prodigious (old or obsolete) bore (drilling/mining) = what appears to be a sand/gravel pit with equipment directly adjacent to the park on the west side (viewing from googlemaps).
Och is considered to be an idiom, one of several that has appeared in the clues thus far.
An idiom is an expression, word, or phrase that has a figurative meaning that is comprehended in regard to a common use of that expression that is separate from the literal meaning or definition of the words of which it is made.
Kind of like the difference between the words in the clues and what we noodle them into!
Since I won't get out until Saturday I thought I'd pass this park on. Rice Creek Regional in Shoreview. clues slide in here with no tweeking...IMO Good luck all!
If posting the clue on the PP boards first causes that much of a ruckus, fine. I'll concede to the point I'll wait until someone else posts it first. That make you feel better?
I have to get up for work at 5 am and have about 5 minutes (Maybe) to do anything online before Lunch break. Staying up past midnight is not doing me any favors.
Was there this kind of whining when OldTimR was posting on the older PP board? Heck, the whole board would shut down and wait for her to post it.
Dan Patch was mahogany-- don't know how different that is from Chestnut.
And to be honest, I don't think it matters-- I think this is a historical clue. It is just Dan Patch is the only local horse connection I could come up with.
I just want to point out how important it is to keep confidentiality about what is posted here. At Merrium Park we gave away the park here early and a lurker read our posts and found it. The crew did a great job of figuring out the park early, but lost our advantage when someone read our ideas.
Hunting before the cooler crew was very different. If you figured out 1 in 10 clues you were doing good. Now we as a group figure out most of the clues. This is really an impressive group. I need all of your help, and depend on each of you to keep what is posted here private.
Well good morning. I try to pace myself and get sleep early in the hunt so I am just taking a fresh look at this now.
In regards to the privacy issue here at this forum it is something that I consider sacred although it is really hard to police as anyone can pay the $10 and lurk all they want. If we really wanted to keep this bored private then it would need to be exclusive with each member being authorized to view and post and I do believe that gets away of from the open feeling of the cooler crew.
I was thinking it could also be interpreted as a large manmade tunnell drilled into the rock
I can't see that it would fit anything, but hey
what if heaven or hell come = upper and lower afton roads.

Clue 2 "Stand and Deliver" was that movie about a high school.
Boy the way Glen Miller played
Songs that made the hit parade.
Guys like us we had it made,
Those were the days.
And you knew who you were then,
Girls were girls and men were men,
Mister we could use a man
Like Herbert Hoover again.
Didn't need no welfare state,
Everybody pulled his weight.
Gee our old LaSalle ran great.
Those were the days.
we could get a ton of street references here
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, with his band of men
Feared by the bad, loved by the good
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood

209 Sycamore Street. Built in 1918 for the Capitol City Milling Company of St. Paul.Razed between 2004 and 2009.
Not sure why they would capitalize that, when the most likely origin of the idiom has to do with reversing lowercase p or q.
kind of doubt it's there though.

Take a little Sunday spin, go to watch the Dodgers win.
Have yourself a dandy day that cost you under a fin.
Hair was short and skirts were long. Kate Smith really sold a song.
I don't know just what went wrong. Those Were The Days.

Chestnut + bore might be saying the puck is in a hole in a tree. If it was hidden recently, that may have been all they could find.

Kinda a catch 22
