My problem with Vento is what's the winter only thing, what's the kids activity? Plus there's only two ways in, Commerce St and 4th, but the 4th street side is closed for the Lafayette Bridge replacement. So talk about a bitch to get down there.

I thought Vento had a spot on Phalen and Neid

If you read the clue closly it says Exercise the kids. It does not say nothing about kids activities or playgrounds. In fact clue one said no playgrounds. Excersising doesn't mean Playgrounds or games, Bruce Vento has a trail, its over 7 miles long.

I'm here. Trying to unscramble this clue. I give up.

Clue one said not in a place where you play a round. That's golf, not playgrounds.

It's that special time in the hunt for me to gather all the clues, shake my head and rethink why I do this damn... I mean rethink what is being said in total.

For example, Is there an IM overlook viewing TS, Harriet, 1st Nat'l and cathedral.....its their something that clearly I'm "overlooking" in a rhyme.

Vento overlook?

I thought I might be able to make this scramble come together if I just did that. Didn't work.

I love and hate these scrambled messes.

Clue 1 doesn't say no playground. It says "play a round" as in a round of golf. It's not on a golf course/in a park with a golf course. And who really brings their kids to a nature sanctuary just to let them run around? Maybe abandon them to support your crack habbit, but not just to run around mindlessly getting exercise.

Could it be talking about Sam Morgan?

Im not diagreeing with you, I just think Playground would fit better. My only reason why I say that is I don't think they will Rhyme a clue thats been around forever into a clue.

The roads are shit. It took me a full half hour from Woodbury to Gabes and NONE of the roads were clear. OK this scrambled clue is long one... I got most of it in an order but it's still Gibberish-y... see what you think...

A HEAVENY MOMENT FOR A HOMELESS MAN

WHO AT A PATH WHICH HE RUN BETTER CAN

AND HIS GREAT VIEW WORKED THE BEST OUTDOORS

TO STUDY LITTLE CREATURES ON ALL FOURS

FOR OUR SIMPLE IDEA THAT SUBTLE RHYMES

YOU SAY COULD LEAD TO THE BEST TIMES

YOU PAUSE A SECOND FROM A GOOD PEEK

AS THE CLUE - HE WAS A SNEAK

Yeah I wish I was drunker - it would probably be better, LOL

Im talking more about the 7 mile long trail, apart of the Bruce Vento spot(s). a 7 mile long trail means you walk.

Gibberish-y is cute.

At least it's a try. We'll know soon.

You must not have kids. 7 mile trail = me pushing the kids in the stroller.

I don't expect this clue to tell us anything we haven't already figured out. I might get to bed at a half-decent time tonight.

I probably think this every year, but this year the clues are driving me especially nuts. Is it just me?

Well, you don't have to walk the entire seven miles, you know.

So while we're waiting, anyone want to help with the paper I'm writing on the medallion hunt? Tips on what it takes to be a hunter (simple things like dressing warm to more complex things like knowing every trivial detail about St. Paul), how technology has changed things, and how you would describe the scene on the last night? I'm trying to put into words what I experienced, esp at Como, but it's hard to do. It was jaw-dropping all those lights and the anticipation.

THANKS:-)

hundreds of people with flashlights digging in a park late at night in the cold is quite the sight to see. i love night hunting for the later clues.

I am happy to help when I have more time... leaving on a work trip early tomorrow AM for 2 days, but feel free to send me a message to remind me in a couple days.

Sneak a peek at our simple rhymes,

Which could lead you to better times.

A second idea from a subtle clue --

Pause a moment for a heavenly view.

He worked for the homeless, the great outdoors,

And little creatures who run on all fours.

As best to say - "He was a good man."

Study his path the best that you can.
