WG the trolley car is located west picnic area at COMO. Clue #7 tells us it is a trolley car thats it, don't read more than that into it. The snow is deep at como. With the clues east and west *********** that simple it's the east or west picnic area**********

  • ********** Stop posting and start digging see everybody at COMO!!!

    weimer - i just checked in before trying to sleep and saw your trolley company question. One line was the Como-Harriet line. Another early company was called twin city rapid transit.

    that MITA in 7 and the reference to old transport made me think that we might get enough from that to determine the type of transport they are thinking of.

    Bran...i'm in new zealand...won't get back til the diggin's done...unless they add 4 more clues.

    You know why there are old trolley tracks at Como? For the same reason there are circular tables arranged in a circle out of view of the playground at Valley. Just dumb luck coincidence.

    I thought it was the big W?

    A man of steel cannot be real, but another has plenty of mettle

    Look for his name around our deal

    And you'll be in very fine fettle

    To escape the herd find a peaceful bird

    Somewhere deep in the snow

    Our Treasure is boxed inside the word

    And that's what you need to know.

    Atlas wasn't a real guy... But CHARLES ATLAS was!

    Couldn't find any parks that might work with Charles Street in St. Paul, so was wondering if there was a Charles out at Como...

    Como? Horton?

    Me Dal Leon Hunter

    I've been thinking heavily on everyone's ideas AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE CLUES -- I'm convinced it's at Newell again (clue words: duel, circular, Newell, memory lane) -- all of those clue words DEFINITELY point to Newell as a repeat place for hiding it.

    Sat, 01/27/2001 - 4:15 AM Permalink
    Joey the K

    Me Dal - yeah but how do you make first part of Clue 5 fit Newell? (man of steele, man of mettle)

    Pierce Butler wasn't that much of a "spirited" man.

    Me DAL Can't be at Newell sorry to say it is at Como West picnic area.
