We are half way through here's hunt fours first clue, there's a few new spots to show and tell

The path has been paved, your feet have been saved, contact our sponsor Metzen Realty to buy or sell!

The official meaning of the clue.

Clue one tells the hunter that Seidls park is split “almost in half” with the neighboring city Inver Grove Heights. The new path on the east side that runs from the north end of the park in SSP all the way to the south end in IGH has been remodeled and re paved and should ensure no more wet feet when the lake water gets high. We also thank hunt fours sponsor Metzen Realty a SSP long standing business for always sponsoring the hunts every year!

You may be near if your by multiples of 2 my dear, I hope you appreciate my charm.

If you go on the ssp history Facebook page and scroll a little you will find Mike Crnobrna historical piece about the old Nauer Dairy Farm that used to essentially be the entire area of Seidls park.

Giving a bath to rain is not such a huge pain, when you have a proper bio filtration cell.

That's not our spot follow the path to stay hot, between two walls would be swell!

The official meaning of the clue.

This is an amenity clue, if your in the park walking the path you will run into the info board titled “how to give rain a bath” it teaches people how the city uses a bio filtration cell to clean the water that runs into the lake  that can get contaminated. If you keep following the path south there are two block retaining walls along the path and between those two walls not far off the path is where you should look.
