Another street name, they have circled almost the whole area with street names in these last two clues. Big area.

Persistence it takes - maybe we need to stick with an earlier clue, and the red herring are later clues that lead us away. No phalen is red herring?

I think snail, but have doubts that Shoreview -water sights- needs to be read more literally, could be frozen waterfalls at crosby, hidden falls or even ice sculptures or fountain.

I agree - I have doubts about SL, primarily because the clues seem to fit almost too well, like I'm forcing them because I grew up in that area and hope that it's there. With that said, after spending a few hours there last night, there's a lot of ground there, so putting people in the right spot early makes sense.

Yes, I was thinking the Brigadoon Dr, Heather Dr, and Highland Dr near Snail on Clue 4 for Scottish "Laddie and lass" may be way too obvious and thus red herring?

agree. So many street names difficult to ignore unless red herring. Dudley [doo right], Rice, Brigadoon, Heather, Highland, etc.

Another street name reference (maybe someone has mentioned it): On Google Maps of Snail Lake the big County Road F West. Most Minnesota highways have another name attached. So I Googled "County Road F West Shoreview MN" and it says "Land O Lakes Shoreview office" for County Road F West.

 Land O Lakes Company

I'm thinking the Land o lakes is just referencing there is more than one lake in the park.

Fits Keller, Phalen, and Vadnais/Snail Lake - which even has more than one lake in it's name.

Someone wrote a fake entry into the Shoreview wiki website re: Shamrock Park.

"Shamrock Park, Shoreview's premiere recreation area located on Snelling and Co Rd I. Wedged into a residential area and featuring wooded trails, a baseball field, and a popular sledding hill."

Those with Facebook may be able to confirm, but my other half is saying it has been found in Snail Lake Park by that guy who makes maps.
