Been feeling Keller or Phalen all along. Lots of good noodles for them. All the obvious ones. There again last night and was the lone stranger at those parks. Left and went to Como. Clues fit Como so conveniently too. So confused now!!! Calgon take me away!
All that sewer line construction at Phalen though? Think they would not want to encourage crowds during that. Although most of it is along the golf course side. Arggghhh
What if the clue writer is not discerning about the pure definition of ancient? I don't think an ancient band necessarily needs to be extinct in order to be ancient. Just saying, I wouldn't rule anything out based on how we think the clue writer thinks.
Another board mentioned 4th Street and Prince street (I was wondering when Prince's name would be in clue) in St Paul. That is near the "Lower Landing Park" area (Lambert's Landing Park) LL perfect angle? Railroad tracks. But no golf course or gorse that I can see. It's a smaller area unless you walk down along the River. Not sure how other clues fit, however.
During the 1800s, St. Paul's Lower Landing was one of the busiest steamboat landings in the United States.
Until the beginning of the railroad era in the 1880s, Lower Landing was the main source of supply and communication for the St. Paul community. It also served as the arrival point for tens of thousands of immigrants entering Minnesota.
"Prince, a new baby giraffe, made his public debut Thursday at the Como Zoo in St. Paul. The giraffe was named after “one of the greatest musicians, songwriters, producers and cultural icons of our time, Prince Rogers Nelson."
Yep, they used dylan for highway 61 last year at Bald Eagle. Also to add some fuel to the Vento fire, "perfect angle" could be Euclid st, and rebel could be Wilson Ave. Not saying that I think it's there, but can't totally ignore it.
The track that Patti Smith sang/ forgot the words for at the Nobel ceremony in Dylan's stead was "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall." It might be a bit of a stretch, but perhaps there is a reference either to this song or to Patti Smith here? Also, I know that there is an article from 2009 about how Bob Dylan got in trouble while "wandering" and someone called the police on him.
I believe that the red herring here is to make people think it refers to Highway 61, when it actually is referring to Patti Smith (which is why you would say please ignore the nobel ceremony). Or alternatively, if it refers to Highway 61 perhaps they are putting it in Bald Eagle-Otter Lake once more, or Phalen/Keller.
 :smile:
This sounds like Keller sort of and Como sort of.
Nobel prize. Bob Dillon won the nobel prize for literature.
Red herring?
It runs on a track.
That's all I got.
Just dog walkers and a child care group at Crosby at noon.
Wander- it is a long walk from parking.
Rebel - not in typical low snow year woods.
Pack track - packed snow under fat tire bike track.
Bring your ice pick this year.
arcade st took a "perfect angle" 90 degree right turn just north of roselawn ave.
The old bridge abutment areas are still visible along the creek.
It turned back to the NE and then followed the utility lines.

Although the Chinese are not really considered Hmong, it's a hat tip to the Asian culture on the east side.
Here we go!
Rail-trolley
Still in como.
Which in my history means it's not como, if Aw is in como than its 100% not como

LOL ties back to CoNo
Beautiful bridge in it's day. Trolley tracks.
 :smile:
Under summit Ave by the cathedral is the tunnels for the old trolley lines.
Smith Ave? But that is smack downtown.
The dome may refer to those signs with the Capitol dome on them around the park. or the dome of the Greenhouse.
