I've only done the "drive by" hunting so far....drove thru hidden falls last night and highland park area by the valley...only a few scattered die-hards were out.
Where did I look for the treasure yesterday?I thought you'd never ask.
Started out on Kent St. in Frogtown and headed North to Marydale Park.The clue of course was yesterday's "man of steel,but not real",or Superman alias Clark Kent.Nothing inspired me there,so I drove around to see what Clark St. had to offer.
Not too much-except it leads to this large open and partly wooded area.south of Arlington.Another clue related to a "man of mettle"which is pretty subjective,but one street bordering this open parklike area is DeSoto,as in Hernando DeSoto.All those Spanish New World explorers were men of mettle.I looked all around that area.My thinking is getting as convoluted as the PP clues.There was this clue yesterday about a buried bird of piece.Didn't see it-but made me think of word which is where the booty is,inside the bird.I started thinking then of that preposterous song SURFIN" BIRD from 1963 which goes--WELL UH-DON'T YOU KNOW ABOUT THE BIRD--WELLLLL EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THE BIRD IS THE WORRRRRRDDDDD--BIRD-BIRD-BB BIRD.That was recorded by Mpls. own 'Trashmen',so I looked in the trash can on the hill.Cleanest trash can I ever saw-it wasn't there.
As of now-I still think it's in that area.Today's clue mentions plenty of room to ride around.The place has that.And you have to get off base.There is a baseball diamond.
That may be the first Trashmen noodle I've ever seen. I love the Trashmen and enjoy their entire library of work (one album). But it is a darn fine album. I am partial to the lesser-known "King of the Surf"
Well, I'm off. We have our own med. hunt here at PP. No actual med. mind you, but we have to figure out the clues to win the prize. I'll check in with yall later!
Also worth consideration,I thought was Burr St. because the first clue mentions the word 'duel'.There is a tiny playground called Eva Weldon playground on the corner of Burr and Tedesco.Was Vic Tedesco a 'man of mettle'?I guess not,but Desoto St.is on the other side,but no linkup with Clark St.
There are some circles in that park due to some tic-tac-toe symbols.There is a depression,but no bank around there that I could see.Of course,no one else was looking there but me.Where are they looking?
I was looking across some of the earlier postings today and saw something about off base=AWOL? I'm not sure if I really get that. Can someone explain that to me?
A lady I talked to yesterday thinks the medallion is in an empty Dove bar wrapper,and I concurred that was a good possibility.Or perhaps a Dove soap box.

Digs, I think that would make a wonderful digging tool...you could even stand in one spot and make a "circle" around yourself! Now, just attach a flashlight and you got yourself a product!
David--I believe that as well. That is the most solid of any of the things we have. East-West, Bank, Circles, Depression, Mettle, Steel, all of these are explainable in my living room! Hold on to that idea. It is concrete. You can picture it. It must be true, or I have nothing. And maybe I do.
Alan...I must be losing it...when I first read your post I pictured you sitting in a nice warm heated log cabin with a huge garden hoe poking out the window...*laughing*
Hey Digs!
Sue.....Have you been doing any actual diggin yet? I haven't picked up my digger yet
Just some silly digging...nothing I've been too excited about.

I am Spartacus!
Been home with a sick child today, so hopefully can get out tonight.
boy!...it sure got quiet in here
I am Spartacus!
Inspectordigs - When did you drive through Highland park?
whats good about hidden falls
Joe!
I've had two lil sickies at home this week and now I am trying to get back to 100% myself.

I drove thru HP about 8:30 PM last night...only saw a couple of people walking around and kicking some snow.
Make that buried bird of PEACE.
I love your story David! Isn't funny how one can lead themselves to get excited about a trashcan?
dont forget the DeSoto car, that is made of mettle, or meatal
That may be the first Trashmen noodle I've ever seen. I love the Trashmen and enjoy their entire library of work (one album). But it is a darn fine album. I am partial to the lesser-known "King of the Surf"
Alan, is meatal hard to chew? lol
more likely steel, but...
Funny stuff DH
Hey WGH! Are you here?
meatal is very hard to chew I am fond of the aluminized beef myself

Supposed to be pretty cold tonight... anyone confident enough to do any actual digging?
Duane--I was digging yesterday, but today's clue has suspended digging by making me give a big HUH?
depends on what the new clue tells me to do, they actually speak to me
stink - do you want our help?
Anyone know where I can get a shovel long enough so I don't have to get out of the car? BURRRRRRRRRRR
alan - The clues speak to me too, but I don't seem to speak their language. If they could just get more clear. LOL

That sounds very good sue butt let me know if you find one lol
Sue....try one of those roof rakes...*grin*
Fum--that feature has been disabled. You get this font in bold, italic, or just plain ordinary whatever font this is.

Does anyone know how to change the font we post or messages in? I used to know but I'm not very familiar with HTML formatting?
a large backhoe with heated cabin works
If you are a military personnel and leave your base without permission you are AWOL...absent wit hout leave

KARL:That's kind of a stretch,but being AWOL could mean off of a military base or post without authorization.It doesn't suggest a location to me.
That posing was meant a wall I think if it is the same ome I read
Ok, thanks Inspector. All the clues fit MLK until the clue last night. However, now I know that, that clue even fits perfectly.
David--agreed. AWOL is a condition of NOT being someplace. It is everywhere but on base.
