2014 - Como Park

I read somewhere that people were upset about the bridge being fenced off near the street car station.

First thought I had of the clue in line one was streetcars, then they said rail etc...definitely sealed it for me.

gotta work, grrr

like

anybody find a good link with a map of the old streetcar lines?

going over the edge is the thing to do. most times were wrong, but if right...

I'll look at como with everybody else, but will check out that area.

like.

thanks

yep, I just gotta link light rail to a park/ location. upper and lower landing as well as kellog and mears

good thinking

Could "old sandy" refer to the sandy bottomed Mississippi River? It still bothers me that sandy isn't capitalized though.

Were the rainbow flags on the Wabasha Street Bridge a temporary thing during Freedom to Marry Week?

very cool

I can't find that URL button; is it the same as the YouTube video upload box? Oh wait, I FOUND IT: next to question mark. Thanks, I hadn't looked there.

used the word "some" 4 times in that clue...

nice find

Four some?

Yeah baby :goofy:

chromo(some) ; gene

lol

thanks

Sold!! Como it is! I am all in.

Como-Harriet streetcar line slices through Como Park and brushes State Fair grounds back in the day, according to Mr. Tom's map link.

Deplore= if it is an anagram is "red pole.........."

Prödel is a former municipality in the Jerichower Land district, in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Since 1 January 2008, it is part of the town Gommern.

May not be light rail--serious talk lately about putting streetcars back in St. Paul.

The Union Depot served The North Star, The Western Star and the Twin Star Rocket trains.

I'm stuck on lower landing/Lambert's Landing. Can't dig till tomorrow. Yikes.

There's the remnants of an old station on the edge of St. Anthony Park parallel to and south of Larpenteur. Go in by the tennis courts on the St. Paul campus of the U. There is a path behind the homes.

What's the trolley zone? Sorry for not knowing! I'm heading out this morning to look around. Too bad I have so many hurting body parts...otherwise I might actually dig.

Trolley Zone: from The Treasure Hunter's Guide by The Map Guy. Mine is from early 2000's. The THG divided Como Park area (because it is so huge) into "Zones". One of the Zones The Map Guy labels "Trolley Zone). Como's section is large fold-out pages and The Map Guy diagrams things of interest to Hunters. The Como Park, Trolley Zone is in this book. Lexington Pkwy to beyond W Como Blvd, Churchill St, Van Slyke Ave, Gateway Dr., Beula Lane (former trolley car path, hence the name Trolley Zone). Cool little book.

Treasure Hunters Guide info

Is it far away or where you've been? What if where we've been is the PP building and it is in fact downtown, near the Union Depot?

Thanks much! I have a copy, can't find it right now...I know, I should have found it earlier!

no matter where the Med is found, the Como Park Historic Streetcar Station sure is pretty! Glad it was restored. Beautiful stonework.

Grrrr..... I was going to dig for a few hours before going to work today, but then they told me to come in 2 hours early. :angry:

From the air:

Thanks for explaining that... I've been here for 7 years and couldn't figure out how to do that. :sillygrin:

I want it to be downtown. The clues fit there. But, which park? That's the question. Maybe the Morse code tells us.

Euphoric/Euphoria is a prominent symptom of hypoxia. Not on the ground, up high.

A Vision causing soul to soar. Look up

Rainbows lead you to the the puck. Look up

Put your shovels away?

nice noodle

Just went to scope things out. Saw quite a few hunters with tools.

So the Trolley Zone is Zone 4 in the book? (Finally found mine!)

Especially if you are downtown!

I never knew there was a url button either.

Still no "park" in any of the clues. But we have this: "The treasure’s in Ramsey; public land, search it all –

Suburbs and neighborhoods and throughout St. Paul."

Maybe this clue that tells us to search it all is telling us not to limit our search to a park.

Splendid mansion.. capital, I guess anyway.

1000 Joe!

a fellow digger says police directing traffic and barriers around Como golf course area? about 50 diggers in ballfields at como.

Then there must have been a different excursion as well ...I remember one returning on his or her own - years ago :chagrin:
