2017 - Keller Regional Park

Submitted by ares on

Coming back to the dark side......Gwen and I found a Halloween sack in the woods yesterday! Complete with a sealed cup of coffee underneath it. What a lark in the park....empty. So many parks with east west and Indian connections. Not feeling grounded anywhere yet. Anyway, I am still looking for the green donut.... :pbpt:

Where does one get the coupon? And what do you get with it?

Cheeseburger and fries were advertised on page 2 of the Sunday paper for $5.99. The ad doesn't look like a coupon, but they asked for it.

It was a real good burger too.

ancient band, will play all day . . .

Might be more of a musical band (play)? And could "spin" be a record (vinyl)?

Lots of ideas flying around here today! It's fun to see the exchange of ideas and some of the fun along the way. The alphabits remark was truly funny.

We have about 30 minutes to the scrambled clue. Wonder what gorse, toodle loo, ancient band stuff is coming tonight.

Well, I can find a couple rhymes, but that's about it. I can see "pack - track" and "mire - tire", but all those other words....it will be interesting to see the real version

planned - hand

demo reminds me of Chair-o-key

demo/mode/dome

We will never forget those.

I went back through that scrambled clue 3 times.

No demo, but there is a dome. :sillygrin:

Dome, mire...caught below the mire? sounds political. Maybe the renovated capital?

Clue 4

Off the track is your hunting pack

If it gets caught below the tire

It'll be in hand just as you planned

When you find the dome by the mire

This clue probably says a bunch - but not sure I have a clue,

More like clueless and in the dark.

A historic muddy mire with a dome and a band! We got this?! (Not!)

Clueless and in the mire here.

Dome could be the newly renovated Capital dome or the Cathedral.

But you wouldn't find the dome in the mire - unless this is about politics.

Dome could be the conservatory....right by the Frog Pond! :cool: :cool: :cool:

One gets the feeling that there is much in these clues that nod to the election.

mire

/ˈmī(ə)r/

noun

1. a stretch of swampy or boggy ground.

    2. a situation or state of difficulty, distress, or embarrassment from which it is hard to extricate oneself: "he has been left to squirm in a mire of new allegations" synonyms: mess, difficulty, plight, predicament, tight spot

Maybe tomorrow's clue will put these together in some form or another.

Feel free to share ideas. There is often a thought that you might give something away, but in reality, everyone has their own ideas and will pick and choose what makes sense to them - and we might be in 10 different parks until closer to the end of the hunt.

Bridgewood Park is an approximately 18 acre neighborhood park. This park includes 14 acres of passive wetland area.

Just saving this, has a feel although nothing to really match it to

That is where we're at. Random things that fit one or a few places fairly well and then nothing in the next clue.

Hope it starts coming together.

I am heading for the sheets.

Goodnight and SCDs!

Ancient Lake Como, where Native American bands would travel through on their way to hunting/fishing grounds. Carousel has music that plays all day, while you take a spin, with or without your kin. Conservatory dome, near the frog pond (mire). Before you get too excited, keep in mind that I was still at Harriet Island when Clue 12 came out last year. Everything fit so perfectly!

Leave your lair-in place of the "in the city/in the county" clue?

You won't read fake news - news must be important, used 2x...

Maybe you won't read it, but you may be near tv/radio...

Keller Lake was a slough until they dredged it into a lake almost 100 years ago. All the dredged material was used to make a dome shaped island along the eastern shore. The island has a circular path. Red herrings abound. The clue writer is getting better and better.

It seems the first two lines of clue 4 are trying to say where it is not. You'll be "off the track", but what is "caught below the tire"??

The domes in St Paul and political mire sure are appealing clues - where else in Ramsey county are there any domes, either manmade or natural? Maybe that can narrow things down.

The capital grounds would make sense if it weren't for the 90,000ish protesters that were there on Saturday.

I keep thinking of a tire swing, literally, or like below a bridge, like BVNS or Swede Hollow.

A new clue will appear daily through Thursday, February 2, 2017, unless the medallion is found prior to that date. Read the daily clues to search for the Pioneer Press medallion hidden on public land in Ramsey County. The medallion will not be hidden on the State Capitol grounds, at Como Zoo & Conservatory, under any skating surface, on a golf course, under or on any artificial turf surface or at any construction site.

Vadnais Heights Sports Dome? So far north though

Vadnais Heights is in Ramsey Count. It borders the cities of Shoreview, Little Canada, White Bear Lake, Maplewood, North Oaks, and Gem Lake. Interstate 35E, Interstate 694, U.S. Highway 61, and County Highway 96 are four of the main routes in Vadnais Heights. Was named after Jean Vadnais. Among the first settlers, Vadnais and his family made a home for themselves on the southeast side of the lake.The French Canadian families Bibeau, Vadnais, Garceau, and Morrisette first settled the area now known as Vadnais Heights in the 1840s. It became part of White Bear Township in 1858, when Minnesota became a state. Yawn for that location.

"off track" if "below the tire" sounds to me like we shouldn't be under a bridge too.
