Step, I read it - tho really, I can't remember it now... Something about archery????

I don't buy it, Step. *If* Clear Avenue was pinpointing things, I'm thinking The Med would have been in the west side o'Phalen, where there are no gates.

I've still not searched for info, like "Munger" and "Wheelock", but I'm willing to bet you a TON o'money, I was wrong, wrong, wrong. I've wasted lots o'time in Phalen.

I *told* you was bad at this! LOL! Sad thing izz, I'm not really reading into/stretching the clues.

Oh, well. I can't get any worse at this, only better! :>

Step, I can proudly say I was NEVER in Newell last year!

No offense, but I never bought that. That screwy story o'the tree in the shape of a "4" just cracked me up!

Green...the thing that REALLY got me was the 9 5 and somewhere a 4....you can see the KS-95 tower from there and on the radio they are 94.5 (now i don't know if it really was the ks 95 tower!!!)

stay on the attack= dont give up on PHALEN ....MOST people forget the NORTH side of the park where the ARCHERY PITS are

Daddy, I'm thinking the tracks at Swede Hollow, or the Amtrak rails.

I've read so much, I'm now going goofy(er! :>) Does Pig's Eye have anything to do with Swede Hollow? Reason I ask, HE was a "rapscallion."

KS95 tower and KSTP AM directly north of yes you got it PHALEN

Good Evening all. The tropical dress for a chance at a trip thing was a sham. People were submitting their names even when they weren't dressed up. I was really quite dissappointed in the way they set things up.

Rusty, where is that? East side? West side? East side, isn't that where the Munger trail izz???

OK OK

There is a Pig's Eye Park, but I don't think it is accessable.

Its my birthday tonight (27th), was hoping I'd run into the medallion somewhere and ease my financial burdens....but I guess I'll just have to work for a living to get the mula. Got a lot of neat ideas in here though....

Pigs Eye park is just about directly across highway 61 from Battle Creek park - south a bit. I've never been there. Drive past all the time. Sure doesn't look like much of a park is in there. Don't know *how* one would get there.

Hay, Mom. Well, so much for "Clear"! Phalen's been shot down, in my opinion.

Rusty, read #4, like this:

"Some places to gain relief from the rain will serve - read this well - you cooking."

That is #4. Pure and simple.

I'm not to keen on the idea of fairview being equal to the cloudy and foul reference. Why? the opposite of foul=fair....I'll give you that, but foul=view...don't think so. You can have a "fair" view even if its cloudy in the sky.

Can you get Prosperity to fit the clues - Clear runs into it

Lee, why? About "Prosperity". What park's there?

I *guess* you could use "profitable profession" from #1, but without knowing more, I'm stretching things.

I've got to go bock to Square One.

Damn! This Hunt DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!

My gut said Swede Hollow yesterday when I saw "Vikings Depression" for the first time. That was in the morning. Checked it out a little in the afternoon, more last night. Can't say it's at 100%. Especially with this latest clue.
