All the clues that are givin so far do is point you to the right park. So far they have marked off the West end of C.P. with Anapolis Street, They marked the East end with the Pyrimidial building, the rose bush out there is inbetween both along with the sledding area, if you ask me it is taped or glued inside of an artificial rose somewhere in the open land between the playground equipment, and the sledding area; Yup, the hardest compacted snow to isn't it.

Sisters, I think that means that whoever thinks it's in Mounds has been sniffing mushrooms. Again.

The picnic tops at mounds are mushrooms, not pyramids

I grew up next to Ivy Falls Park. It's completely in Mendota Heights. None of the clues point to it. Have fun over there!

Also have a good time at Beaver Lake, Highland and Mounds...hope you're enjoying yourselves, because you're not finding anything there.

Does anyone know if I can get tonights clue by calling? This sister is not online at home, which is where I'll be tonight and I won't be able to pick up a paper at the PP Bldg. I think last year you could call "the Line" to get the clues...

See that seems a bit weird hiding the med. at the same park 6 years later. I know all the clues arew pointing to CP but its weird

MHill - we agree, were wondering if the clues somehow stated that its hidden in the same park as 6 years ago.

They made an agreement not to put it at phalen because it's part on maplewood and maplewood got mad because of the mess surchers made in 83'
