Some thoughts from my bro..

If I were to age Brett I'd age him at 41.

41 is a prime number. Dig #41 was in Cherokee Park. Looking at the map of past digs, there have been four at Cherokee Park

Digs # 1, 23, 41, 47 = all prime numbers, making Cherokee park a "prime location"

maybe the very first dig was at Cherokee and this is the 125th Anniversary...

kinda like green said..

just our .02

hittin the sack..

Farve birthday 10 Oct, 1969

He turned 41 last October.

The prime thing works if years are used.

There were two digs in 1953.

1952 -- Highland Park

1953 -- Cherokee Park 2 is prime

1974 -- Cherokee Park 23

1992 -- Cherokee Park 41

1998 -- Cherokee Park 47

Good morning! I recently finished reading Kathryn Harrison's book, The Binding Chair, about the ancient Asian tradition of feet binding. Talk about da agony of da feet! It made me think of the Japanese Gardens at the Como Conservatory. I know the conservatory is off limits, but maybe just a general reference to Como Park?

Keep in mind, I just got up and haven't had coffee yet. :pbpt:

Good Morning!

I had such a headache last night I went to bed and slept it out so I am just now reading the new clue and the board.

My first thought with this clue is bears at Como and the weddings and pictures that get taken at the conservatory there. Also the conservatory has a Valentine's Day dinner each year so that would definately be where lover's meet in the winter.

Como continues to feel right to me.

Just have to do this. With the one-eyed owl and the one-horned Brett....

The One-Eyed One-Horned Flying Purple People Eater

Well I saw the thing coming out of the sky

It had one long horn and one big eye

I commenced to shakin' and I said oo-wee

It looks like a purple people eater to me

It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater

Sure looks good to me

Well, he came down to earth and he lit in a tree

I said mr Purple People Eater don't eat me

I heard him say in a voice so gruff

I wouldn't eat you 'cos you're too tough

It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater

It sure looks strange to me

I said mr Purple People Eater what's your line

He said eating purple people and it sure is fine

But that's not the reason that I came to land

I wanna get a job in a rock 'n roll band

Well, bless my soul rock 'n roll flying' purple people eater

Pigeon-toed under-growed flyin' purple people eater

one-eyed one-horned it was a people eater

What a sight to see

Well, he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground

he started to rock really rockin' around

It was a crazy ditty with a swinging tune

Wop bop a lula wop bam boom

one-eyes one-horned flying people eater

Ooh, it sure looks strange to me

Well he went on his way and then what do you know

I saw him last night on a TV show

He was a blowin' it out and really knockin' them dead

Playing rock 'n roll music through the horn in his head

One thought I had is that there seems to be a lot of talk about 'da bears' recent defeat. That would mean that the clue was written very recently or that there were two written and one was scrapped, no?

If that theory is true (and the CW didn't architect the hunt last week), then you can run with the 'bears' noodle or the 'feet' noodle. Not both.

In lieu of being able to make sense of these clues, I've decided to troll the crazy boards for inspiration.

I think I started calling them the crazy boards back before the hunt even started when Jake and I were getting smashed. I love how that name has caught on :grin:

Been thinking about "path" could be a paved/gravel, etc path, but could also be a "path" that water takes, ie. creek, stream, river???

Step off some distance from that water to ice (frozen creek/stream/river) path...

River at Crosby was frozen all the way across on Saturday last weekend, people were skiing across it to Pike Island. Swede had running water in the creek, but was frozen between the path to that creek.

Yikes, I don't think you could get me to ski across a "frozen River"...

I haven't read the whole post that you linked, but was reading some of the posts that followed and had to laugh at this righteous response by kabbie: "I am the last person to say something about another's spelling and/or grammar. Me and spell check spend a lot of time together. How ever, I could not get past the first few sentences before I quit reading. Please enable your browser's spell check".

I'm still at Hidden Falls after this clue. The first line references aging Brett. Brett was a veteran quarterback. The veterans home is across the river from Hidden Falls, where people who are aging go (or went, I don't know the current status). Brett also rhymes with vet. Como doesn't strike me as being where winter lovers meet, as the Zoo and Conservatory attract those who don't love winter. If you're going to Hidden Falls this time of year it's because you're a winter lover. Yes there is the use of "Da" in the clue, but I think that is to emphasize "feet" as in what we walk on, not "defeat" as in losing. If you're in agony on your feet it's because you have walked (or skiied or snowshoed) a long distance. Again it fits in with the having to go a lot of steps to get to the treasure site.

lovers meet

find those of like mind

parks where gays meet?

know Crosby had that reputation any others you know of?

Brassmonkey

I am leaning that way as well. It is one of my top options.

Like I posted earlier, this clue is similar to clue 1 2007.

Best interpretation I have seen yet.

Going with Da bears

winter lovers meet

Former king bore, and former queen of snows,20 years ealierboth now living in white bear are getting married. They met during carnival events.

Parks along WB ave of interest.

Lakewood, Robinhood, Sherwood, Frost Lake, Surburban Pond, and of course Battle creek.
