well, im bout ta bounce, i gotta take a dump and then do some stuff and go to bed. If ya'll see people in the park lookin for the medallion, in clown makeup, thats me, Violent J and my homie, Shaggy 2 Dope. and if we dont see ya in a park. we'll check ya wicked clown style at the "rehash bash".
really... sounds like fun. I guess half the reason I called it a night is because it gets boring by yourself. Some parks i don't like to wander around in by myself
If it is in a park, I think it would almost have to be a little one otherwise the clues would've lead us to one park but they are so vague. It could still be every park!
I got a kick out of the huge sign at Marydale... "Depression, the number one reason for suicide".. but someone mentioned that the sign wouldn't have been there before clues were put togethor... funny anyway.
I drove by marydale tonight also. I know this probobly doesnt mean anything but in most of the past years clues if it is in a park it says so in the first couple of clues but this year there's no mention of a park.
I am glad I am not the only one awake at this time, been trying to figure this out for a couple of hours, don't particularily want to go hunting alone, but suppose I won't be if I go in daylight.
no anagram for harriet island but i was reading other years clues & there are a lot of anagrams! I went to harriet tonight & it all made sense but it was too dark & i got scared so i left
Why do you think Harriet? If you find a pattern in the years it was found there - between 1960-66 = 6 yrs, 1966-78=12 yrs, 1978-96=18yrs, so the next possible yr would be 2002, right (to be divisible by 6, anyway)? Open to suggestions, tho.
i'm not getting that deep into the clues but i guess there are a few reasons. the boats are an old way of travel, the playground of course is a place to play, navy island is near so it would be off base & i was just readin the 96 clues & they mention something in the past..not that that means anything this year. it just works.. of course right now the clues work in just about every public place!
another thought i had was that since this is the 50th anniversayr maybe it's in the same park as the 1st one which would be highland. But i dont want it to be there because its too far away from me
I live d.t. so Harriet is close to me also, a bit of a walk in the cold, but oh well - it is sounding good tho. There must be a bus that goes there.
Here are some of my thoughts on Phalen - Wheelock Pkway runs into Phalen Drive at the entrance of the park, I am looking at the Treasure Hunter's Guide and things seem to fit into place (much more than that), but then like you say, these clues fit so many parks.
was at phalen a couple of nights ago & the area i was thinking of is in maplewood so i'm not so sure about that anymore. I just really think that if it was in a big park it would've been pinpointed by now. there is no mention of a park at all though so that throws me off!
Yeah - I also noticed that Phalen and Keller can be combined as a Regional Park - and Keller is in Maplewood, and maybe that pinpoints Phalen, as that is the part in the CITY.
Here is another couple of Phalen ideas: Clue #2 Steer Clear of all private ground (Clear Ave), they wanted to destroy (no need to destroy) Gillette's Children's hosp. but is now restored. Clue #7 Memory Lane - Gillette's Children's Hosp's is now restored to be MN Humanities Commission, see picture of sign of Gillette's , pict#104, pg 62Memory Hall, Michael Dowling, Dowling Memory Hall was not destroyed. Clue #5 Man of mettle - Michael Dowling, you be in a very fine fettle=state or condition of health, fitness, wholeness, spirit, or form (as in a fine fettle)
We can make a case for two parks; clue number two: wonderful town - Maryland? Clue number three: circular thinking can be one way of linking meaning Wheelock Pkwy - both streets run into Como and Phalen. Clue number 4 - East / West - one park is in the Western part of St. Paul, other in the Eastern part of St. Paul.
HI FROSTBITE, IN SEARCHING FOR MEMORY LANE WE FOUND LISTED A 1955 CROWN VICTORIA AND WONDER IF THEY COULD BE REFERRING TO VICTORIA AVENUE?? IDEAS? tIN CLUE NUMBER SEVEN THE OLD WAY COULD REFER TO THE CHANGE IN TRAFFIC PATTERNS AROUND LAKE COMO, IT USED TO BE TWO WAY NOW IT'S ONE WAY.

I found her name... it's Harley Quinn. I always thought that was gimmicky but effective
Some of the parks are so dark! But I wonder if it's even in a park this year, no mention in the clues.
If it is in a park, I think it would almost have to be a little one otherwise the clues would've lead us to one park but they are so vague. It could still be every park!
I, like everyone else went to Como earlier yesterday. There's always someone there.
I got a kick out of the huge sign at Marydale... "Depression, the number one reason for suicide".. but someone mentioned that the sign wouldn't have been there before clues were put togethor... funny anyway.
like some say... there's always the frog pond...
I drove by marydale tonight also. I know this probobly doesnt mean anything but in most of the past years clues if it is in a park it says so in the first couple of clues but this year there's no mention of a park.
I think the whole "Newell" thing is why. I think they want to drag this one 13 rounds, but there's nuthin' wrong with that :)
Who is thinking Phalen? That is where I am leaning.
maybe, but there are so many parks. saying its at a park wouldnt give it away.
true about the park location. Maybe the clues haven't been over analyzed enuf... just kidding
I am glad I am not the only one awake at this time, been trying to figure this out for a couple of hours, don't particularily want to go hunting alone, but suppose I won't be if I go in daylight.
I am thinking east side but thats about as afr as I've narrowed it down
Hey I hear you. I used to go with my brother, but he's in San Fran... it's a little warmer there..
Another analogy of "off base" than thinking baseball diamonds, would be thinking military, as near a park, but not in it. You think?
I might have to sleep before I go again... I haven't been to beed yet, geez it's been almost 24 hrs, and both my typing fingers are doin ok
been to beed? oops..
ealier this even, but not for hours, I am getting very tired......
harriet island fits the clues well. If you look at apst clues there seemd to be anagrams every year...
don't be a stranger, if you want to pool resources, let me know, I'm there. Wait is that what we're doing now?..
what's your anagram for harriet?
no anagram for harriet island but i was reading other years clues & there are a lot of anagrams! I went to harriet tonight & it all made sense but it was too dark & i got scared so i left
funny anagram for "street of all" - "let's fart leo" ha ha.. :)
Why do you think Harriet? If you find a pattern in the years it was found there - between 1960-66 = 6 yrs, 1966-78=12 yrs, 1978-96=18yrs, so the next possible yr would be 2002, right (to be divisible by 6, anyway)? Open to suggestions, tho.
wow! that's deep.
I didn't realize that kind of statistic, interesting.
I just figured that out found by calculating the yrs I saw it in the Treasue Hunters Guide
Hey, if it isn't at Harriet this yr, should we all meet there next yr?
here's another od "street of all" - "left o earl st" hmm, I need to quit staring at my computer.....night

sounds good! Harriet be close to me, considering I live in WSP...
losing motor skilz, need rest... oh look an info-mercial! 'nite.....
another thought i had was that since this is the 50th anniversayr maybe it's in the same park as the 1st one which would be highland. But i dont want it to be there because its too far away from me
