This is my analysis of the clues..because I was being a bit vague last time...Clue 2: Steer..Farm..Crosby Farm, Clue 3 linking 2 citys..that seems to work...and banks that don't shrink: the Crosby park is a place where it has a natural water shed. Clue 4: East and west..East 7th street and West 7 th street..each end at parks...(Hazel Rec on the east side and west side HF and Crosby) Playing though..the one with the playground is Hazel...though the other clues don't lead there...Clue 5:The Man of Courage could mean a lot of things..although I am not sure as to what yet...it's probably either in the sopa or ice cream bar box under snow...Clue 6:lots of space...there is a ton of it at Crosby and HF..and off base could mean off Fort Snelling or the Reserve Air Force Base right near there.....old way of travel and memory lane..think Huck Finn and the River...

JS..

Doc,Are you nuts? Maybe it was someone returning home from the synagogue?

I got a fortune with my Chinese food tonight "WHat is hidden in an empty box?"

Yeah - Tonight's clue will probably give us some HOT info like:

It's in a park where people like to walk....

Or It's at a park with alot of benches,,,

LOL

Hay, SueBee!

Step, Allison izz as serious as a heart attack that The Med's in AA.

I'm just as serious - as a screen door in a submarine - that The Med is NOT in AA, but in either McMurray Field(s) or Highland.

Ittiz a differenc in mind-set and perspective, that's all.

Why do you young people always assume that someone's trying to throw you off when they're only voicing their take on The Clues? I don't understand this.

dont like desoto for todays clue to be honest. im more happy with a reference to something still left of street cars, or the busiest line of all of street cars. the old and new shepard road comes to mine. even university (plus all the old classic cars by porkeys,ie iris), i just dont like desoto for an explination. but im sure theirs far more street names like that too

Or it will say: even a poor clue is food for thought.

animal, did you get my answers to the clues?

And memory lane--think songs--think perry como. Everything relates to perry como, if only there was a perry como park.

Alison, Whaat are you on?! I just drove by Arrlington and it's a stinkin' joke!!! It's not even a park, it's a waste of space. The only use for it would be a dump. My dad heard that hypodermic needles are being dug up.

Hey...Green....chill.

I didn't say ANYTHING about ANYONE trying to throw me off....I just wasn't sure if he was serious cause nobody mentioned that park yet....geez

Naw! Not nuts....excited! That amish guy really did the trick....im convinced! I got a fortune in a fortune cookie once that said..."He who walks through airport turnstyle sideways, is going to Bangkok." I wonder how they know that? weird.....

people just tend to pick a park and make all the clues fit. i go with my first instincts. though so far this year, that means im still hunt'n at half dozen parks, my gosh!!!

It's going to be funny when the park is finally pinpointed - it's going to be decended upon like a locust plague!!

WW, I went through the Guide checking every street that touches every park, and Desoto was the one that made any sense as any form of transportation, at least as far as I could tell.

The medallion is totally at highland. The busiest street is snelling, the man of mettle is snelling. It all points to highland. Everything is so clear.

Green, even us old people think there's a bit of "throwing us off" going on around here.....
