For that reason, I don't think the vultures thing is important to the hunt. I think the vultures are either us, the hunters, or the CW is just commenting that vultures prey on those below, just like icicles (if they fall?).
A chestnut, gentle, makes me think of an old song...(NOT sung by Perry Como, unless it leads to Perry Park!). But there may be a song title from days gone by that would apply here.
So many possibilities and nothing is clicking together. I reread all the clues trying to just read them and not into them. I am not seeing any consistent pattern.
I believe CW is using "Och!" as an expression, but since I know that och is "and" in Swedish, I googled Och and found many Swedish phrases with the word "and" in them.
There were quite a few natural springs and streams that have been filled it or diverted underground- especially in the highland area.

Reservoir Woods Park in Roseville: (huge and woodsy)
"The site, which includes some of the highest ground in Roseville, is home to a 30-million gallon, underground water reservoir that for years had been operated by the City of St. Paul. When the reservoir
became outdated, St. Paul sold the land to the City of Roseville in 1997. That land was added to 34 acres of land that the City leases from Roselawn Cemetery to create the park.
Neighborhood task forces and park and recreation planners expressed the wish that this new park remain pristine and forest like. Outside of adding a pathway, the only development the City has done is to restore eroding soft trails and eradicate invasive plants such as buckthorn and purple loosestrife.
Reservoir Woods Off-Leash Dog Park
This is cooperative project between the City of Roseville and Ramsey County. Dogs without a leash can be exercised in two soft trail areas, located just north of Larpenteur Avenue and east of Dale Street. The area to the left of the park entrance is completely fenced so it is accessible to people with limited mobility and their dogs can enjoy the park too. To the delight of dogs and dog owners, the second area is designed so that dogs can run free in approximately five acres of open space."
Red like a Rose? Long shot...I know. I still can't convince myself that those crazy videos have any meaning. Seems like a good way for the CW to kill time at work though :grin:
What about this for the 'bore'?

My dog would be happy if it were hidden here...there's a great off-leash dog park nearby!
Apologies Tatergirl. I hadn't realized you had posted the same quote from the Roseville parks website earlier. I guess I wasn't caught up on my reading when I posted it.
That is one of my dog's favorite dog parks...I was thinking of taking her there today, which got me thinking.
My theory is the CW is giving you clues to lead to all the parks in which other carnival events are taking place... to get people into those parks/areas...
The phrase about "Glen", and "Men were Men" has me at "All in the family" trying to find "Songs that made the hit parade" as "A chestnut gentle makes me sentimental...." Also mentioned in the theme song are "Herbert Hoover" and "LaSalle"...
OK.. I think it's time to go read my treasure hunt history and read just the first 3 clues and meanings so I can take all of our brilliant insightful noodling and dumb it down to "there are deer in the woods, benches is the park"
Your baseball idea got me thinking..Bert Blyleven was inducted into the hall of fame this year. Found some things on wikipedia that would match the 'piratey' references in clue #2: "Bert Blyleven was one of baseball's most notorious dugout pranksters during his playing days. He earned the moniker "Frying Dutchman" by frequently setting fire to his teammates' shoelaces, a practical joke known as a "hot-foot"."
He was a Pittsburgh Pirate. He had a few swearing instances on air “Minding your Qs and Ps”. Circle Me Bert “Circulation”.
Could point to the puck being hidden in something Bert related...
It's been years since I've been in town to hunt. I plan on 'making the rounds' this evening after work to refresh myself with some of the big-name parks.
Good find!
At HF the balls are circulating up in the sky
hence another way to say circles in the sky?
and could we go so far to say they hang like vultures?
 :smile:
Vultures hang out up in the sky...so ya they hang...but not like bats...as your first thought of a bird hanging....but
the clue says hang LIKE vultures...to me that means not vultures something that hangs up in the sky like a Vulture would
Highland still has an active pumping station for the water towers, but was there ever a well dug there?
I think we need a new clue.

Och!
I wonder if CW going for something more like Ach?

not that I put any value in the video clues but the owl's eye is RED.

guess that is the question once you live in a cemetery :smile:
The whole thing is a tip of the hat to the newspaper biz
1st part is nothing but a tribute to editor leaving
2nd part while focusing on carriers and delvery could also have a double meaning
move with elation/circulation - rounding the bases
stand and deliver - pitcher
could just mean there are baseball/softball fields in the park
That is one of my dog's favorite dog parks...I was thinking of taking her there today, which got me thinking.
I guess great minds think alike :smile:
Boy the way Glenn 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
Capital grounds were called bunker hill -not there
couldn't come with anything else

I'll have a shovel in my trunk.
