Following are excerpts from the past few days of conversation on our Official Treasure Hunt Online Forums.
RAMSEY COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS?
Has anyone thought of the Ramsey County Fairgrounds. I mean all the clues point to there.
There are pigs there (clue 4)
There are hills and dells there (clue 2)
There is also a skating rink, golf course, and all there as well.
This thought is out there, but it makes sense to me.

BOXMEYER = COMO
If they are devoting the hunt to Box, why not hide it where he hid it the most. He loved to hide it at COMO. Sorry to tell ya that, i hate it just as much as everyone else.

LIST OF POTENTIAL SITES
The parks that could qualify as having or being in a vale are Hidden Falls, Crosby, Harriet, Battle Creek, and Swede Hollow.
Of those, in thought of the sports and I mean a actual spot of sports would be Battle Creek (that I know of or atleast seen lately).
With those two facts alone, I just don’t see how it can be anywhere else, now given this…lol I still have 5 parks in my radar with Battle Creek, Hidden Falls, and Swede Hollow at my top list.
There is one other park I am thinking of right now that has the potential to hit the top 2 spot, but I need more info.

THANKS, HOLLOW CREW!
Back again! I really enjoy checking out the boards every year to see who is on the right path. And I have to say, I have never seen anything like the Hollow Crew.
The research they have done regarding Swede in ther posts is remarkable. The history of Swede is simply a mystery. There are many that have lived in the area for many years that don’t even know this place exists, a shame you say! Yes! Honestly though this park was not very nice up until oh, 3 years ago.

HARRIET IT IS
Harriet Island is still my #1 Park. Without explaining the past clues (because I’ve done way too much of it), I’ll talk about #5.
A certain type of colic is associated with abdominal pain due to gall stones. Dr. Justus Ohage, who donated harriet island to the city performed the first ever gall bladder surgery at St. Joseph’s. This would ‘surely make you lose your colic.’
He also has a street named after him in the park and was the one who named it. Bower enclosed in this interpretation isn’t that different than the first interpretation, but what encloses it would obviously not be the como conservatory.
Beasts exposed, I believe, just means that you can see the Xcel center from harriet island, and perhaps there’s a visible wild logo.
