Could be... but last time it was at Crosby they gave it to us on Clue 2 and it went to Clue 10.

I can certainly think of many things related to this clue, but it does seem to be screaming Crosby.

I think I need to sit and overthink this one. It seems TOO obvious! Am I the only one thinking so? Why would they throw it out that early?

Happy Holidays Pair could be Perry Como.

I do like the BC idea Mikey.

It does seem obvious but they have given the park in clue 2 plenty of times.

BTW, just found this excerpt from a article on Crosby:

The park consists of a large area of floodplain and valley side slopes, the “bluffs,” along the

Mississippi River near its confluence with the Minnesota River.

Now that dang Happy Holidays song is running through my head.

Happy Holiday

 Happy holiday, happy holiday

 While the merry bells keep ringing

 May your ev'ry wish come true

Happy holiday, happy holiday

 May the calendar keep bringing

 Happy holidays to you

Come To Holiday Inn

 If you're burdened down with trouble

 If your nerves are wearing thin

 Park your load down the road

 And come to Holiday Inn

If the traffic noise affects you

 Like a squeaky violin

 Kick your cares down the stairs

 And come to Holiday Inn

If you can't find someone who

 Would set your heart a-whirl

 Take your car and motor to

 The home of boy meets girl

If you're laid-up with a breakdown

 Throw away your vitamin

 Don't get worse, grab your nurse

 And come to Holiday Inn

Dale and Virginia are both streets that run north and south. It would make me think Marydale - Loeb Lake. Virginia, however, is a few blocks east of that park.

Time to hit the sheets here. Early morning tomorrow.

If you're going out tomorrow, dress warm and be careful.

Goodnight and SCDs!

That "stick" clue year was the 2003 Hunt in Como; clue 6: "To stick it where the sun ain't shining." PP Explanation: "Sick and where 'the sun ain't shining' reveals it's in a wooded area."

  • typo in PP Explanation; correct is "Stick and where the sun....."

    I took some of my grandkids to Crosby this fall, to show them the entrance to the cave and the huge firepit, and the road was completely blocked off by the cave. Maybe if someone lives near they could take a look. It could be stuck to a Holiday Inn cd or dvd too.

    The last label Frank was on was the reprise label.....prob a coincidence.

    Maybe the clue isn't Crosby. Maybe it is A Stair (Astaire). They did mention red herrings and bluffing. While everyone runs to Crosby, we should be looking for a park with a prominent stairway (Hidden Falls?)

    I've been looking in Crosby since Clue 1. No construction, but a few dangerous icy patches on the left side of the lake, along with a tiny trail on the side of the hill that's pretty icy in some places as well. But the clues seem to fit, so perhaps it's on the right side someplace. Lots and lots of places to hide a medallion, that's for sure. Although, if they are giving it in the least as a Red Herring then I'm sure that thought of it being inaccessible or dangerous in some parts goes out the window. My search radius included the area by the pavilion, the beach area, and the area to the right of the trail for about the first 4 or 5 blocks. I'd try searching further down the trail if anyone is going to be going there.

    Westy they've put it in places that were inaccessible/dangerous before. Not to mention they've put it at Crosby before they can do it again.

    Hockey STICK? HOLIDAY INN downtown St. Paul? That's all I have.

    The use of council sort of bugs me. Anyone else? It seems like it would be that hunts with or in a council, but the way it is used in the clue is like a verb which would be counsel not council....

    Like a stair

    Is their a "happy holiday pair" from past hunt finders?

    lots of silt fences along the new river trail. Silt fences that close to the river says not in Crosby this year to me.

    Kellogg looks good to me today if Crosby is the red herring. Funny I know.

    OK, how's this for a little different take on "Happy Holidays" pair:

    What if it's a reference to Christmas and Hanukah--the two prominent holidays in the typical holiday season. Could be a reference to Highland with it's strong Jewish population and the mix of Christian Institutions in the area (Gloria Dei church, Cretin-Derham Hall).

    Feels like a stretch--but Como, Crosby feels so obvious so early.
