2013 - Cherokee Heights Park

For the rehash bash-is the pavillon indoors and if so is it heated? :smile:

yes and yes

Yes and yes would be the answer to those ?s you should come.

It is quiet here...people must be recovering or getting acclimated to real life again.

The inside pavillion at Newell is heated. There is talk about a fire after 2:00 when we need to be out of the pavillion.

I have to be at Hamline University anyway, so was thinking of stopping by; Newell is right by Hamline.

Thanks Mikey for all the videos and pics.

And yes MG... all my gear is still in the car, and my books/maps are still laying around. I have a To-do list of things to get caught up on this weekend.

I will be renewing AM for next year. :cool:

Thanks guys for the reply to the heat :smile: We might actually be able to make it since the sleepover with the kids ends at noon! I know it would be nice to bring the family so they can see mom isn't crazy :grin:

I feel a weirdness of not having the hunt going on! It always takes me a few weeks to adjust back to "normal" especially with sleep.

We are heading out to the boat show tonight so its nice to go do a family event vs. heading out in this cold to a park. Its been a hectic 2 weeks between traveling and the hunt.

So hopefully tomorrow the groundhog see's his shadow. I am done with this cold winter.

I think the idea is for the groundhog not to see his shadow. Seeing his shadow makes him go back into his hole.

I am done with this winter too.

HA! I wrote that wrong! Yes he needs to NOT see the shadow.

So looking online I came across these sweet items on etsy.

A embossed pick and shovel pendant

and my fave..the compass ring! Should I send one to the CW? :pbpt:

I don't think Shadow will be seen in St. Paul tomorrow.

Shadow is in Florida for the winter.

I don't know that it would help. It's stationary so the CW could use it to his/her advantage and just claim the compass was generally in any direction. :smile:

well since all the smart people are here next here, so will I.

Super! We need lots of smart people. :smile:

Not saying I'm one, Just I'm only smart enough to be where they are!

Oh you're smart Mikey.

smart a$$ maybe...

I miss the days when this forum was active year round. :crying:

Then we need to just keep it active.

Facebook confounds me sometimes. I much prefer this. Conversations can happen here in a way that can't be done on FB.

I'm all for trying to keep this place more active.

Steve and his brother Scot spent a good day at Irvine after that four paws clue too :wink: (Steve also liked Conway and a little park on Rice St)

Lewis Park?

Im not sure what its called, (Fritz Field maybe?) its just s of Magnolia on Rice.

Clue 6 is what got me there, I was really thinking the shift meant it was in a small park and with that park being so historical for St. Paul, I tied the rest of the same clue there.

Dug there on Saturday, dug through the plow pile on the path at HI on Sunday and went through SH and BVS on Monday. Drove thru Cherokee but didn't have the energy to actually get out of the car! doh!!!

Yeah, what the heck, I'll stick around too. Granted none of my normal day to day people I see are on here, this place is kinda my refuge from the day, where I can talk about whatever I want, heh.

I went to "You Are Here" with a compass, and the compass on my phone. Both agreed that the medallion location was NNW, nowhere near "generally east"

Well that was a major CW screw up. I don't get the reasoning behind the river running "east" but then again I have never been great at directions.

If only the "east" wasn't such a focus, it kept me from going back to that section to search that night. Whats sad is my gut was telling me east seemed wrong to hide it. I learned, always trust my instinct because its always right during the hunt.

This is how I see that clue - my interpretation of east from there without a compass. I'm thinking the CW probably did the same thing.

When looking "west" I see Mpls. When looking "east" I see downtown St. Paul. North to me is on the other side of downtown from there.

I guess I'm right there with the CW - clueless. :smile:

I'm guessing that is the area in front of the old Washington Jr. High. I don't know what that's called anymore. I'll have to make a point of getting over that way and see if there's a sign.

Good! A refuge from the rest of your day is a good thing.

thats kinda how I see it too.

this one with the shovel is really cute

OMG.... 3333 JOE! at 2:23 pm 2/6/13

3x2=6

3x4=12 / 6 = 2

2+1+3=6

the only way this coulda been more perfect right now is if I woulda nabbed it at 2:22

NICE Mikey!!!
