We were trying to keep out of this-----last year, it became an obsession--we were up all night digging, looking at clues--it was insane. But, we couldn't resist any
longer. It will take us a while to get up to speed, but we are thinking BC
At highland I saw cool stuff. Every base on every diamond was excavated. Area below scoreboard on football field, excavated. Seme for around every tree (they
were in a line) on west border. Below every bence, in every clump of trees. If its there, its in middle, and boy is there a lot of middle!
Clue 1: Not much of a clue at all. Just tells us it is in the city of St. Paul and not to trash the golf courses.
Clue 2: Merriam has a great sledding hill
Clue 3: Number adorn the door. In big bold right at the front door of the rec center is "2000" and the hours posted inside the door are...
Mon - Fri 9-5
Sat 8-5
Sun 9-4 (or something like that. I'm not sure about the days. But I am on the hours!)

Clue 5: Longfellow middleschool almost shares the park.
Clue 6: Tome = Merrian WEBSTER!

Yello . . . . Green, you been diggin tonight??? When you get a chance to slip over to the other board, I wanna know about the kitties! :) I didn't get a chance to dig
today, and want to tomorrow . . . .
Would ya bee mad if I didn't make the gig tomorrow????
There had better be something good since they're going to get $1.50 from each of the people lined up outside. If it were just another $0.25 clue I wouldn't expect
Clue #7 indicates that the "line of trees" will lead to a name which will then lead to the sign. It seems like a lot of people are reading it to say that the line will lead
directly to the sign and I do not think that is the case-- any comments on this?
