Hey Regg - Disc Golf IS real golf. The ONLY golf!! :)

I agree though that it could be around there but just not by a basket. People might get upset with the golf/no golf thing

How does anyone feel about the fairgrounds?

For HF: You take east river road beyond the ford plant until you see an entrance. There are 2 entrances, but only 1 is ever open.

hey ClueMaster!!! - If by some remote chance the find IS near Highland Disc Golf. I hope the planter knew there was going to be a BIG Disc Tournament tomorrow. Maybe, it gets kicked up by US as we play!!!

I dont think it's at the fairgrounds, and I will bet it!

the fairgrounds is in Falcon Heights, not St. Paul

Cougar - FG ruled out awhile back because of the stay off of private property clue. Grounds are privately owned. Try taking out a shovel out there and you'll find out real quick. Been there, been kicked out too.

I have 16 disc golf discs, I have competed a few times!

JB - Unfortunately my disc's won't be touching the ground tomorrow so I won't be able to uncover the Med. :)

Anyone have any thoughts on Crosby???

Fri, 01/26/2001 - 6:57 PM Permalink
Cougar

Falcon Heights uses St Paul Police, Water, Fire, plows, etc. Plus, a falcon is a bird that enforces peace, as is referenced in the military. Circular thinking: Either the grandstand's racetrack (also deals with riding and steering clues) or the space needle.

ClueMaster - Hmmmm let me guess, an ace on 12 with 300 people watching. Oh NO wait, that was your brother....:)

I was at Como today, I found a greeting card with Twetie the bird on it, but no luck under it

Cougar...who cares what the st. paul police do...it is outside the city limits

Cougar

Cluemaster: How about the parking lots that are owned by the U of M? That should be public property, and is definitely "off-base"

Tom H. -That would have been incredible and impressive. I bet your adrenaline shot up for a second.

That campus is called the SAINT PAUL campus

Cougar, many people (not me, because I am not stupid) have been caught bringing shovels to the fairgrounds!

TeddyKGB3

does anyone think circular thinking has to do with a bathroom?

Fri, 01/26/2001 - 7:01 PM Permalink
Clue Master

Regg - You're right. It was across Montreal the last time it was there. It could be on the other side this time. You comin out to play tommorrow? - Hey, did you just Dis me on the shovel thing? Pal

C - I like the space needle thing too. Who knows

oh wait...i don't know what I was thinking

It can be the fairgrounds, because they use the mailing address as "St Paul"

Cluemaster, I may go disc golfing, depending upon the outcome of the 7th clue tonight. I am planning on spending all day digging at parks and chatting at cooler crew tomorrow!

BUT ITS OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMIT..MEANING NOT INSIDE THE CITY LIMIT

I like the concept of big and open, enough to fill 2 or 3 times the usual turnout. The Press would be smart to anticipate HUGE crowds and not put the med. in a tiny park, or one that is close to heavy traffic, etc...

Clue Master

I don't think I would of gotten caught at the fairgrounds if it wasn't for the fact that I had a body in the trunk and it was the middle of summer. So Be careful.

OH boy ClueMaster Im staying away from you LOL j/k=)

I think it's at Hidden Falls or Highland, and since they are close, you can hit them both in one day!

I think it has to be downtown, or downtown has to be visable for the 1st bank building, cashing in the bank, because we were told its deep in the snow, stating its in a snow bank means a double clue, which I think won't happen. I beleive the Circular Thinking has somwthing to do with all the places layed out. I'm starting to wonder if the circular their talking about is not about the shape, but about a newspaper, i.e. a newpaper box

Highland pretty much has that open area where it was before as their Big open area. It won't be on the open area on the back half because that's where the golf holes are. You think it would be by the police station again? I liked the bridge outlining the old folks home view. Kinda like the big W

But afterall, the clues points elsewhere

Codemaster, ain't there a golf cource across the street from the station, and the pool is right by the station>

Hey Cougar...just go search in the fairgrounds, and when the ST. PAUL COPS pull you over...just let them know your searching for the medallion
