Especially if I'm standing between the fire ring and the picnic shelter looking towards the Southeast. The monument would be directly in my view, and there are loads of grills and picnic tables directly in that area. The map is showing 5 grills and 8 picnic tables there alone. Of course, I'm still grabbing at air, and don't plan to go digging until tomorrow night depending on tonight's clue

Attention past finders of the treasure!!!! I would like a group photo for the Treasure Hunter's Guide "Hall of Fame". Please send me an e-mail to see if we can get together at the park. Give me your hunting schedule for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

Thanks,

To be honest I really don't know, but when I was at Phalen today everything else seemed to fit.

Troy/Kitty/Queen: Fire and Ice are somewhat opposites. There's the "fire ring near a picnic shelter donated by the East Side Lions Club in 1964" Quote from "Saint Paul Parks A Treasure Hunter's Guide, Second Edition"

Topher why do you think Phalen?

Steve - Maureen and her brother Steve found it at Cherokee. I think she posted a message on here early on...but after the prehunt bash. Maybe if you did a search for Maureen, you'd find her e-mail. Steve never posts here.

Ares what does a fire ring have to do with ice. That doesn't seem to make any sense

Did everyone else get spammed by TheTreasureHunter'sGuide like I did? The thing that really sucks is I would have bought his book. But I NEVER do business with spammers.

Why dig at the Capital mall, it isn't a park and the clues don't fit there

The second edition is available at what was the Hungry Mind Bookstore on Grand Ave...or the map store on Kellogg.

It's worth it. Very good work done.

The Map Store, Kellogg Square, 111 East Kellogg, St. Paul, MN 55101 corner of Robert and Kellogg--on Kellogg side---Ruminator, Grand Ave (Formerly Hungry Mind)--disclaimer- I do not work for Hunter's Guide, but it is a nice tool.

Topher- I was talking to you. Do you want to meet out there early & be there when I get the call???? Otherwise I would be more than happy to have you call me with it. Just didn't want to be out there alone.
