This is why it could be in linwood park: St Paul park Hills, skating rink Score hockey, baseball & basketball Open hours posted on rec center door Just up the street

from a library to study. You can see Monroe school if you want to learn. Plus there is a hockey goal. Man of fame: Jefferson, Jefferson st. below the bluff. Quite

clear: Saint Clair Street (Clair is French for clear) Trees in a line>= Wood line=> Linwood Park! Happy Hunting -don't get conned by others.

Regalman - the park has been given. The area of the park you need to be in (vicinity) has been described. Now #8 - #11 will narrow the vicinity down. I agree the

clues suck this year and everyone is confused - but everyone needs to get a bigger picture of this. NP was named via word play in #4 - which is classic for the t-hunt

to do. No other park has been referenced to in this way - and if it was at another park they would have made it a little more obvious before #8!!!! It's getting to late

in the game for that.

Regalman, as long as you seem to have the clues figured out, at least give us a hint so we can have fun. If we figure out the park, it will still take luck to find it. What's

the double meaning with 954 and what's with the line of trees?

The reason regalman says the 9-5-4 has a double meaning is beacuse he's confused.

What's 9-5----4 then Regalman?

Sat, 01/30/1999 - 8:44 PM Permalink
Regalman

It's a rather unpopular area of St. Paul, by a golf course

Hours golden, and # of trees in a row, which #9-5-4?????

Haha medallionhound!! Need to get your dog a new sniffer!! Are you with me on the park? Regalman...are you still with me on the park? Matt Carter...no way

would it be rice park...they do not want people digging around the ice sculptures etc...just so you know...:)

Wouldn't the ice sculptures be destroyed and the people that enjoy looking at them be trampled if it was in Rice park??

Yes mushie, but I'm not sure we are seeing the same tree line theory, 2 possible at the park. Were you there at 11:30 last night??

I had heard that the guy writing the clues has been writing them for the last 4 years. The last 4 years had a clue referring to a movie title. What do you think?

beer me , you are thinking to hard!!!!!!!!!!

its new people writing this year..that is a fact...

MushieW

Golden Boy...the significance of clue 4 is that it is in a NEW park...never been hidden there before....iconoclast is one who seeks to overthrow tradition or popular

ideas...it is out with the old and in with the NEW...value (treasure) is in the new...I know you think word play spells Newell Park but I sure don't think that is it! But

good luck to you!!

Does anyone think it's at Conway?

Sat, 01/30/1999 - 8:50 PM Permalink
snostar

Does anyone agree with me when I say that the clues don't say anything about it being near a golf course? They just don't want large amounts of people tearing them

up.

Anyone out there believe that it hasn't been hidden yet? That way, they're sure it won't be found too early.
