Westside Will, "2000" is over the door in big silver numbers. Also on the marquee the park hours are shown using plastic numbers that show that on some the park

is open from 9-5 and on others, 9-4.

Also this is one posting out of tenthousandfourhundred and forty. Lots of ideas floating around in cyberspace!!!!!!!!! :0 :) :)

What about Harriet Island?

Clue #1 It's a park in St. Paul and the clue doesn't say the park MUST have a golf course, only that it doesn't.

Clue #2 Says it's not at Como, referring to the slide there, and warning hunters not to get too close to the action.

Clue #3 Numbers adorning the door and keeping score refers to the Jubilee 2000 sign on the Cathedral doors, visible from the park.

Clue #4 A blast from the past, Nagasaki road runs into Harriet Island and the History Center is visible from the park. Iconoclast means its hidden inside something

you will have to break open to find it.

Clue #5 Unknown. Perhaps identifies a location in the park.

Clue #6 A man of fame found in many a tome is Plato, found in many scholarly books. Plato runs into the park.

Clue #7 Tress in a line, railrod ties? This is the main clue that causes me to doubt it. Any thoughts from anyone

Lastly, there is some code happening in the clues collectively, at least that is the sense U get from clue #7, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Any thoughts?

Harriet Island Isn't the place. Maas you have great insight to some of the clues. I do like Merriam Park. It has been quite awhile since it's been there. Another

possibility is Acorn Park

Sean Accorn park is in Roseville. It is considered in the boundaries. It was found there in the 1980's in a frozen milk carton. What about the park just south of the

coachman rest on dale street?

Has anybody heard the expression Devil's Den? If so, what is it?

Would they really hide the medallion in Roseville again? Any thoughts on Lynwood Park?

Where is Lynwood Park?

Lynwood Park is on St. Clair and Victoria

I think that Lynwood is off-base. But, I am beginning to think that it's hidden in a park where it's never been, or hasn't been in a long time...
