I spent most of yesterday on Annapolis - still think it could be at that neck of the park. Last nights clue did bring me to the top of the park near the "three pyramids", but I'm not straying to close to that. Good thinking on the pace cap. I have been at CP every day since Wednesday. I do not think it is at Mounds. Tonights clue will decipher alot. I will be out this evening. Jill

Lets face it they are not trying to make double division a hard clue to figure out at this point. In its simplist form, it is what it says. It divides St. Paul from West St. Paul and Ramsey County from Dakota County, the ONLY other fit there is the Mississippi dividing Minneapolis and St. Paul, and Ramsey from Hennepin down by Hidden Falls Park, but that would probably be a stretch given ,.....hmmmmmm,

na, the other clues don't fit there anyways.

As everyone knows the real pyramids are located near Giza and Giza rhymes with geezer which was the first name of Geezer Butler the bassist of Black Sabbath. Who else wears black that has a connection with the twin cities? Of course it's Hulk Hogan of the new world order, the dark side of wrestling. What building is known as "the house that Hulk built?" Of course it's the Civic Center! Therefore the pyramids lead directly to the Civic Center. THATS WHERE IT'S AT FOR SURE!!!!

double division - Highland is divided twice, once by Montreal and once by Edgecumbe???

Good Luck to The Woman And I This Evening! Wish I could be there too.

I don't think the medallion is in the snow by the 3 pyramids cause there is 4 clues to go and they are not going to give the medallions location this early.

I agree Pat

I agree I think the pyramids is more of a backdrop sight!

Today was a test of physical strength. The snow is very compact and icy at CP. People bring the nesscary equipment - you will need it! Wheres the Ben Gay!

Cheryl:

Am still reading (@1493) since coming home from Cat Show... Will need to run some stuff past you when you get back as SO MANY are overlooking very important clues; Remember this - I'm a big one for double... and I just found a whopper of a double based on something posted about 10 to 8:00 or so - just up from 1493. Will need your brain, Cher, as I don't know squat about these parks...

But... If what I'm thinking is correct there *is* one park that better fits CP based on an aspect of a clue that I have been harping on for the past 3.5 days. Will need your brain kiddo!!! Should be caught up by the time you get back. Will catch you!!

As ever... Greenslvs2

Does anyone agree with me about the Civic Center?

No offence(sp), but it is reading too much into thr clues.

We think like Dave. Rosewood Estates on E. Mississippi River Blvd. has a rosebud on the sign- right across from the bike path where kids like to zoom. The nearest cross street is HIGHLAND. The Ford plant sports a DEMO outside the gate- in view of smokestack and a large round object. The double division is the County thing - also the bike path divides to two lanes. There is a dome on the City sign on the Ford bridge. Where are the pyrimids, though? Could the spires across the river possibly qualify? Any thoughts out there?

someone said in a pace jar then and I corrected that it would be taped to a pace cover. Makes sense in clue #8 "keep up the pace"

Any Vet's out there?

Catch 22

Anything with a top that has four sides that come together at a point is considered a pyramid---like the Washington monument in D.C. it does not matter if it is 300 feet tall with straight sides as long as the pyramid shape is at the top!

I agree Dave!!

I think the Pace lid is pretty far fetched, that's an awful small thing to look for in the middle of a Minnesota winter.

I've been over to Mounds and its really dug up. If its there like a lot of clues say it is, it's posible that its been uprooted and not noticed.

Iwonder if the claim-jumper who found the clue last year is quietly listening

Nobody answered me about McCarron Beach. Is that a park?

We need to figure out the location before we even start to think about the container its in!!! The container clue rarely can be translated any other way, if its even translated at all before they tell us what the clues mean... so in that case rule out the pace..

what about the word "dough"

I think McCarron's is a municipal park, not a city park.

It wouldn't be the first time the medallion has been kicked around. Yes that is reaching a bit, but it is a fairly trivial matter anyways, since you have to sift through every inch of snow anyways. It has been attatched to small objects like that before, but I really don't know just guessing - you know. It's in there some where (Cherokee)

CP looks like a battlefield. They are gonna have to give better coordinates to locate the Med. Has anyone "Cracked the Code"??
