I think the June thing is not important. I am going with HF. Someone should drive by there.

See the pioneer press is so dumb sometimes. They made a mistake with that clue, they forgot to capitalize Linking, that the biggest part of the clue. It spells CITY. And Hidden (out of sight) Falls connects minneapolis and st.paul (east & west)

Mainly I picked Valley because of the East West thing. If you look at the addresses in St. Paul, the dividing line where the east addresses become west addresses goes right through Valley, so the park is both east AND west. And there is a playground there. And I mentioned the circular tables earlier (with the circular seats, and all the tables arranged in a circle) which are located down a slope. So if one assumes from clue #4 that you want to be on the side where you can play (because that would make you smile) then it fits with clue #3, because if you are standing among the tables, down that slope, the treasure would be out of view.

Also I like it because its not a park, its a rec center. And the fact that the clues have been so vague or even nonexistant so far indicate to me that its a smaller park that won't need as many clues. Plus, its an obscure place that has never been used which fits with the idea of it supposedly being a tougher hunt, and you might have to be bold to think its there (or maybe you have to be bold to dig amongst the kiddies?) Plus there's a bunch of words that are possibly significant, all of which could be applied here.

Yo, waddup ninjas? Is someone gonna be gettin the paper from the pioneer press at 11 and postin? Or should I get off my lazy ass and do it myself? Hell, it might not even be worth the time and energy until they start gettin good.

If a duck walks into a bar and a pheasant runs in, who will get served a drink first? It just depends how busy the bartender is silly.

I have to admit, Allison has got some good points! A Valley is also a depression!

Some people were just trying to connect June as being a clue to Iris Park.

Hello Everyone, This is TheRock4927 from last year, aka Rob. Hows everyone doin? Wow i see Allison is back for another year as well as GoldenBoy wow and Downtown Dave. Welcome back to another season. Heres my take on the clues so far, in one of the clues it said something about being out of sight, well why not Hidden, as in hidden falls, which is by the airport, which if i believe connects st paul and minneapolis together. Which brings me to clue 3 where it says Circular.....Linking. Well if you take the C in the first line and cirlcle it down to the bottom its spells city as in Linking cities. What does everyone else think about my theory?

The paper is avalible at the Pioneer Press HQ at 11. Thus, the clue comes at 11 and we should get it at 11:30.
