2014 - Como Park

I was going to say I don't know if they can use a visual clue for something not there anymore.

But it is their game and we're all just chasing rainbows while it's snowing out.

Agree

nice

lol

Hi folks, Glad to be back in the hunt.

My two cents at the moment are on

"Begin again"... Michael Finnegan?
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Finnegan_(song)

Night,

The last time there was Rose and Jessamine, it was at Marydale. 1972.

Makes me wonder.

The grade school between Maryland and Wheelock. There are some colors on that building, but I don't know if its a rainbow.

I think I'll need to take a detour in the morning on the way to work and check it out.

Good idea JennyO.

I think I'm going to follow the yellow brick road, somewhere over the rainbow connection, to the frog pond in my dreams.

Goodnight and SCDs!

And I wonder if we are trying to make clues fit a park instead of the clues leading us to the park.

Goodnight x 2.

I love the labyrinth because I don't think it's included in the park book. It's circular, you can see it on google/maps. This would allow you to begin again, if at first you were fooled...

Ok, here's my last thought before I sign off for the night. "Begin again" means that if you got sidetracked, go back to clue 1. I think clue 2 was the red herring...

what was painted on the old pool building mural?

Arg! I get so caught up in reading threads and investigating links that I forget to try to spend time with the clues myself!

Here's my attempt at contributing-- trying to connect the older clues with the newer clues:

 :chagrin:

I'm looking at diction.....Boreas "roared".......lions!...(Como zoo!)

...."Polar".....BEARS........ animal references...I'm hopping into the Como'ver here wagon!

This stanza is troubling me: Across private land is no place to roam

I like the rainbow street car idea and other than that-- I'm stumped! Hindsight is always 20/20, so I'm off to study clues from 2013!

:pbpt:

Does CYA DYA mean anything to anyone?

What if the rainbow is the bend in the Mississippi? Cherokee Heights again? Back to back?

I like the animal theme! My thoughts on the "private land" line is that it could relate to Como pretty well. There's that big section of private land SE of Lexington & Horton. Lots of homes. It juts up into Como.

Nice thought

Way to use your potato.

Agree. Begin again to me is telling us how to read the clues. Should we look at the first hunt?

Yeah, the fishy smell is starting to dissipate for me, too.

fooled begin again.

Are they telling us all the obvious clues so far show be disregarded.

Is it far away or where you have been? with the north and polar reference could this mean it is in the south.

or does it mean south ave, south of silver lake in NSP, and this clue is fooling us to give up on the north suburbs.

Rainbows skip over the center, linking south: Chair- o key to North St.Paul, or WBL.

Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun - the north and east or west, unless it is far away and then we should go south.

Looks like I have narrowed it down a lot. it is either close or far N, S,E,or W, or in the center by the flower named streets.

Sure wish there was a LIKE button here. Some of this stuff is just so good.

Hi Jenny. Welcome

I think I've talked myself into Shamrock Park. I wonder if there will be hundreds of other people out there?

Perry Como went to Cleveland.... LEVEL.... HIDDEN FALLS!

:wink:

That would be great if its there.

Love the idea. All point to the EAST, on the Lake side of the park, where there is more private homes than on the WEST.

Since I hunt with a three year old, I like the idea of a place with bathrooms and snacks available.

I remember years ago, before I was married even, that they used those "flower" street names as a clue for Como.

Now what happened yesterday? :smile:

23 chromosomes = 23 acres?

And now I can't find any proof of that to validate that memory. Odd, I remember driving with my parents locating those streets. Maybe we were just that good that we got that without any reference in the clues. :smile:

Judy Garland was from Grand Rapids MN - Grand Avenue, Grandview

lol

stretch: Rainbows Begin Childcare, right slab in the middle of residential area right slab in the middle of Upper and Lower Afton Road, Battlecreek Regional Park.

On that note: "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows"

(judy garland)

no so far-fetched

but parking for just 120 cars; street parking would be mess 12th clue?

They didn't seem to care about parking at Lilydale. In fact, this would be a huge step up from that. Also, what are the odds a park like Shamrock would even go to the 12th clue?

High Bridge.....shaped like a rainbow.

At least there is a reply button.

Maybe the fooled, begin again thing refers to that year everyone thought it was somewhere else but it turned out to be Como at the 11th hour?

very long Larry Ho street over there; Ruth street! Oh how I remember skipping school (SSP) and digging in that area when it was found in, I think, 1969? I remember digging at Ruth st. area

true

2011 - Turtle Lake in Shoreview closed due to thin ice

what are those odd square things across the street from Shamrock Park on google maps, across from CR W and "A Street"

The old army ammunition training site.

Cant find Neck... Wonder if him and the chimp got a room?

I think it's at Como Park. I think the Rainbow clue fits best the Twin Cities Pride Rainbow Run.

If fooled, just begin again.

-the race started at the Midway Pavilion. It was a lap race and once you completed a lap, you began again at the starting point.

Also all the other clues fit Como so perfectly right now.

HERE is the run path: Rainbow run started at (3.11 miles) Hamline and horton, stop 1 on gateway drive by fishing peer..stop 2 at black bear crossing..stop 3 right inside woods before corner of Hamile and horton..finish by the fire pit..and 2 picnic tables.

I don't think so. It says here:
