So here's the deal...

If it's true...It's true.

If it isn't...it isn't.

We'll know in a little bit.

MJ - How's everyone at my place (Pat's). Hehehe

Pats, they're wonderful!!!!!

No Treasure Digger, the cell/modem connection wasn't available! So we're connected by cell to cell, while I'm on the net.

Jim-TFT: Meez gets it, FINALLY!!!

Hi Axel!

If you still have the clue up in another window, save it to a file in your computer and then cut and paste it in one of your posts!

Hey Treasure Digger I found Phalen Park Golf Course and right across the border is Keller Golf Course. But Keller is in Maplewood so maybe that is the warning to STAY OFF!!!

Jim-TFT: That's a good one. I remember that Maplewood was very upset after a previous hunt and vowed to sue Mom if it was hidden in their city.

Pats, I *did* go to Pats! Had a great time!!! Met Maureen (and her husband) and bro Steve!!! Touched their hands, rubbed their heads for good luck. Also met SueBee and her SO, and SnotV, and 2 families showed up just because they had read our posts. Big bunch!!! Also met Eags' Mr. Mags!!!

HA HA Ha!! Thanks, MJ. Was disappointed that I couldn't be there with them. I was looking forward to meeting everyone. I was on line last year but used the name "Desire-to-Win". I changed it this year because I'm going to be a serious digger this year. I sure hope to meet a lot of you hunters out there sometime or definitely after the medallion is found. (By me - hopefully)

So, then let's starting listing all the parks in St. Paul that have golf courses near them. Even if there is any thought as why it coundn't be there.

Hey Treasure Digger do you have a camcorder?

Sat, 01/23/1999 - 10:51 PM Permalink
MJ

Sorry, I posted while you posted.

Yes, call MOM!!! Make sure they know at 11:30! They're waiting to confirm my messages. They think I'm BS'ing! We'll know at 11:30.

Jim-TFT: Yeah, You got something you think I should do?

Jim: Let's start at Highland.

Pats: Call!!

MJ

Jim TFT, I have one . . . why?

Sat, 01/23/1999 - 10:53 PM Permalink
Jim-the-Freigh…

What we need to do is film all of the Parks/Golf courses for future reference (aka More Clues) But also I'm sticking with my original thought because there is a putt putt course near there. Hmmmmm?

Jim-TFT: You've got to learn to type fast in here. I'll have to give you some typing lessons!!!

Just food for thought.

Your original guess was what, Jim-TFT?

Treasure Digger

Okay!!! I know where you work!!! Ha Ha I agree about filming the parks. That's why I suggested making a list of all the parks that are in the "ballpark" of what we think are possibilities. Then we can go out film the park and take notes, come back here and share thoughts and ideas.

I'll call.

My original thoughts were the State Fair Grounds because of its size to easily hide the $10,000.00

We have 20 minutes to wait. UH!!!!

Then what's the reference to golf courses. Fairway - I can see because of the "fairway" use of directions at the fair.
