Got back from Marydale (had to get it out of my system) and there were more people there than at Capital Mall. There is a circular drive around a flag pole as you enter Marydale; not much else too exciting, but people were there...
in a convoluted kinda way, scribe, yes. ballfields abound there. and if you're in the area of the circle, but can't see it,...
i'd been thinking that it was possibly in the vicinity of the fountain with reference to riding the old way, northbound lexington used to pass to the east of it, where there is now a parking lot, if memory serves.
Down from the Capital Mall, but facing it, is a smallish park with a huge statue of a guy, nothing else; would be considered part of the Capital Mall area. but hard to get to......
Clue #1 Good luck+Irish=McMurray. Duel=Betwween two=dual=war/veterans=ww2 missile at Como/dual(double thinking) Keep on your toes=skating June=summer sports,baseball,soccer,softball

more to come..........I'm being kicked off..back to finish in a sec...
Allison, I and company went to Hidden Falls last night. A few people were there in their cars...but it didn't look promising.. Where does today's clue fit into Hidden Falls? Maybe boating/riding around...and busy street is 494? I don't know...
pryzm, i had thought of actually doing that. until i thought wait a minute, i could never remember where i put them, so the only decoying i'd be doing would be of myself :)
SCRIBE:Very good analysis-but Larry Hodgson as the 'man of steel'?Is the statue metallic or was he in the steel industry?I don't remember Hodgson as mayor,so it must have been before my time,and I'm not young.
If you're on track-there will probably be a reference somehow to actor Fred McMurray(MY THREE SONS-DOUBLE INDEMNITY-THE ABSENT MINDED PROFESSOR).
I am impressed with how you've collected this data,and put the pieces together.

there's a big wells fargo on McKnight
but it's not that close to anything
Wells Fargo is now dt St. Paul. I see Luther Place is right off of como, and near college pk

And....do people still think it's in Battle Creek? That's off McKnight and right close to where I live.

If it's not at como could bank be talking about the river bank at Hidden Falls ( just a thought).

hate to say it but there is a Wells Fargo Brokerage services that might be visable from Phalen.
Allison, I and company went to Hidden Falls last night. A few people were there in their cars...but it didn't look promising.. Where does today's clue fit into Hidden Falls? Maybe boating/riding around...and busy street is 494? I don't know...
scribe, don't forget the battle of midway in that thinking as well. i'm not familiar with the mcmurray duel. plz explain.
I'm gluttin for punishment....back for more noodlin!
joe!
aren't we all, pryzm?
Michelle, I was thinking the old road is Fort Road(w. 7th St)
gate's closed at hidden, crosby and phalen last night
lol...must be!
Yeah W 7th st as opposed to east. Well I need a break - be back later......
Sorry ares not Mc Murray duelLOL! Thats two thoughts,I punctuated this time!LOL
I can see why Crosby and HF's are closed at night, it would be dangerous.
How was your break? Pryzmsphere? Me and Jordann are munchin down :o)
For the record, I was only in Hidden Falls because Michelle wanted to go there and I had never seen it. Saw Irvine for the first time too.
nice....but found myself thinkin about these damn clues.....DOES IT EVER END????
Sounds like you're out there digging at "Linwood" Fields there Scribe! :)
P...maybe in June, maybe in June.... LOLOLOL!
Fort Snelling is by Hidden falls. That could fit with clue #7.
I'm going back to HF's in the summer, it would be beautiful. Nver had been there before today either.
doh, scribe. now i see.
I don't think that my mind could handle it! SOMEONE PLEASE FIND IT!!! PLEASE!
Cold feet, every clue could be HF.
I'm stuck on where it's at but I think it is in a dove soap box, any other ideas?
I want to go to Iris and Irvine in the summer.
Yes, your right Wolffpac. I agree.
pup, i think the general consensus is that it's in a dove soap box. and because we're all bigots about our ideas, we'll not entertain any others :)
Someone will Prymzsphere! And this year it will be a COOLER CREW member!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has the same chance of being at Hidden Falls as it does crosby
Speaking of dove soap...heard rumors that there are decoy dove boxes in the parks....FYI
It's got to be in a dove container! I want to be able to say I got ONE clue right.
Where is Iris?
pryzm, i had thought of actually doing that. until i thought wait a minute, i could never remember where i put them, so the only decoying i'd be doing would be of myself :)
LOL ares
Who's all going to Como tonight? Lots of people there, and if so, Where around?
Iris is off University and close to Fairview, right behind Porky's.
lol Ares!
tom, univ. ave. at porky's drive-in
Scribe, how does fettle and mettle fit Larry Hodgson
I'll be there... hoping the clue narrows down where the heck the treasure is!!
I see. Lots of People at Iris or Como?
I might go to Como to make fun of people. Don't feel like digging tonight.
Jordenn...think you might head out for another dig tonight?
