YES! Good clue. I was there!

I'm going to find the medallion in the morning.

YES THE GROVE!! I was standing in there and I looked up an admired the cool pine trees.

I can't give it away though. Going back ASAP

what area of Crosby actually has a grove of trees anyways? Thought I covered a good deal of that park in the last couple days (and in my past geocaching trips there) and I never thought I ran across a grove on it's own, or am I just missing the obvious?

Think I'll watch the election for a while.  Gotta be better than listening to Art Bell.  He's playing ABBA right now!  lol

This clue is referring to PIKE ISLAND!!! It seperates the mississippi river and minnesota river. Its just off of Crosby Park.

interesting idea TerryV... I just can't make out a grove of any sort in that park.. seems to me the whole area is woodland excluding the lakes/riverfront... certainly din't see many clearings...

Did this clue really help anyone.  I mean I'm not gonna sleep better tonight.  I'm whining and I can't stop.

Any apple trees in a grove would be encroached upon by other volunteer trees after all these years.  Might be hard to find what once was...if there's any still out there.

Not to mention flooding terryv, I have no idea how apple trees would hold up to such things. All I know is that park is absolutely full or stinging nettles in the summer.

Flooding would be another issue.

Would you suppose any apple orchard/grove would be nearer the original house?

towards the southwest? I wish I knew whereabouts the original house was..

Looking over some satellite imaging I did see something interesting, if not related or useful. When they were working on the 35e bridge they had a cleared area that resides in crosby park, at least it is if the map on the park page is correct. Used it to remove debris and such from the bridgework.

How'd she get out of the house anyway?  I thought she was grounded.

Did a search about the gold rush thinking those years might match with the Midas thing - but there's 10 years difference.

My first thought was of the Forty Niners.  But it doesn't mean anything to me.  Anyone else?

Interesting thoughts on the gold rush "49ers" and such.  Not sure what it all means -- maybe just that it's the valuable treasure.
