Im just keeping my options open on Hidden Falls cause in clue four with the SWRA as the first letters, SouthWestRegionalArea, and there is really only one park there. (excluding Crosby Farm). You really cant say it isnt somewhere yet, because they have either been so vague or there is more to the clues than i think we are seeing :) thats not to say it couldnt be one of still many many parks, ill post my list of all parks by size in a sec . LOL@ VegasBAby
I don't get my undies in a bundle like yall and yall need to grow up and get down to business!!
I haven't posted like that VEGAS CRY BABY and I really don't mind if you do! It makes for good reference as long as you have something constructive to say you arrogant little BIT__!

Hi gang. Everytime I tried to slog last night, the board was down. Man, I don't even know what theories are running around. Scary. Anyone want to give me the Cliff Notes version of the good ideas?
Maybe its in a "new" park, or they got a new person to hide it, or maybe it's in a "new" form??? Who the hell knows! Though it is fun thinkin up possiblities!
people that keep saying Swede Hollow park, i went there last year on like clue 3/4, and i hope you realize how small this park actually is. It is basically a scenic overlook , which is on a dangerously steep hill for kiddies to be near, i can assure you they wouldnt put it there :)
The majority of the land associated with the park on the map is the steep hill itself.
SueBee whats up? Well funny feeling about this 6 clue. It says well trained with a - between the words and that - is not supposed to be there. And last year they had us going to Newell until the last few clues and now its saying to be well-trained.
StepDog, and all....A well trained eye? "Archery"..."hunter".. Isnt there an archery practice range at the north end of Lake Phalen? between Keller Lake and Phalen?
When #6 came out, I gave up on Phalen as I could *not* get it to fit. But then I got an idea 'bout the Gateway Trail - part of the Wm. Munger Trail that goes on the old Soo(Bee) Line. In fact... Oh, never mind.
Anyway, went out there 2day and was ssssssooooo disappointed! Figured, "Damn! I made the clue fit the park!" But I kept driving around...
And had one of those moments that makes you so weak you almost lose control o'your bladder. Thank gods I was in the car else I'd have fallen in a heap. And I looked around me... And almost passed out. I could NOT believe my eyes!
Did some more driving to a different area for a look-see. And almost cried. I could not believe it. No stretching, nothing.
I know the popular wisdom is "Never again at Mounds"...but does anyone like Mounds? Cruised through today and it looked good...was out at Newell for about an hour...just doesn't look/feel right...I was totally with Phalen until clue #6...but I can't make that one work enough...I hope tonight's helps nail it down...but I kind of like Mounds at the moment...anyone else?
Searcher, dont mean to rain on your parade, but think it's not that complicated a meaning. Good ideas, but doubt they would go into that deep of detail. Good Noodling though..
Searcher, I think you have to read the clues generally, more than one word at a time. That is to say you can't just pick out certain words and forget the rest. Looking at last year's clue, only once did a single word have a double meaning (orient, hinting it was on the east side)
pie uses uswest.net :) right pie, and is a dirtyone
Yeah no kidding. Pie sucks. I atill think it's in Newell. Pie smells. And the clue tonight should point us to the exact -go away Pie- location.
I think Pie was one of the Girl Scouts
Artemis... I'm right with you, Baby. Six for Six! :)

If people like the track idea what about the X-country ski thing that they have at Phalen?
I don't get my undies in a bundle like yall and yall need to grow up and get down to business!!

Yeah, arrogant with your mom.
Hey, I can't help it if the ones that got off of a long week at work are tired and pissed, but please don't come in here and start flammin me!
I've been seriously trying to help with alot of good thoughts and hard work!
So knock it off and let me focus on the job at hand!!
Go back to previous posts and you'll see I'm here with good intentions!!!
Hi gang. Everytime I tried to slog last night, the board was down. Man, I don't even know what theories are running around. Scary. Anyone want to give me the Cliff Notes version of the good ideas?
Plaese people lets stay on the topic. In case you all forgot it the hunt for the medallion.
artemis - what do you get out of this last clue, that would say its at phalen, because i think its else where.
Sue, people still think Newell, Phalen, Swede Hallow
Dave are all of those parks located within St. Paul city limits?
Hay, SueBee! I'm thinking six for six in favor o'Phalen.
I'm kind'a the lone duck on that... But thass otay!
would someone please post that site with the pictures, last time i checked it out i was using a modem :(
Yes, they are all official st. paul parks, i did the research couple years back, the are official according to st. paul public parks :)
artemis and green -- i am still w/ you on Phalen....what did you get out of clue 6?
SueBee, no clue....everyone is stumped. Think it may come down to the wire. This is the "New Millenium" so who knows where they may hide it.
wizard, what is ment by rapscallion?
Maybe its in a "new" park, or they got a new person to hide it, or maybe it's in a "new" form??? Who the hell knows! Though it is fun thinkin up possiblities!

OK one more time, but with more detail.
What does anyone think of Arlington/Arkwright?
Clue#2: pace, chase, ace = racing, chasing and winner, Clue #1: Cavort = prancing as in horse
SO horse racing = Arlington horse track
Clue#4: gain relief from the rain = by looking up "ARK" in the dictionary it is a shelter from the rain, as I Noah’s Ark
Clue #4: also has Well = which could mean, "right "
SO PUT CLUE 1, 2 and 4: together you get Arlington/Arkwright Park
Also Clue #3: A tower or two should come in view
At night you can see two radio towers to the north,
or if you look through the trees from Ivy street which runs into the park you can see a tower.
So Ivy tower and a Tower comes into view through the trees.
Clue #6: there is a railroad track near by, the munger trail.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? ANYONE OUT THERE HELP!!!!!!!

Clear as a bell! Fit like a glove.
I shook the entire way home.

Green, what are you talking about? Been to Phalen too, but I never got that feeling.
Sorry. Meant to say I was disappointed because the Gateway/Munger Trial runs right thru Keller, north o'Frost. No way MomP'd use that as a clue.
Rapscallion: A rascal; a good-for-nothing fellow.
Searcher, dont mean to rain on your parade, but think it's not that complicated a meaning. Good ideas, but doubt they would go into that deep of detail. Good Noodling though..
Not mounds and not arlington and arkwright possibly phalen everything fits in and if you look close enough it tells you where it is
You have to look closely to all the clues and then boom it hits you
What do mean? They were simple and straight forward thinking!
Searcher 2:
Sorry, but no bananas!!!
no they were crazy but, interesting searcher 2
"A well-trained eye is one reason why a good hunter stays on the right track."
An un-trained (unknowing) eye's gonna pick the wrong track!
As I said, there are many different "tracks" at Phalen.
And #6 wants you to be able to see *this* particular one. Just like you gotta see the towers.
We've now two clues for sighting, lining up.
And directions have been nailed down. At least three, anyway.
Man, if it's in a park as big as Phalen, you'd think they'd have given us the park name by now, no? I bet we get it tonight.
Kiwi you think that it could be at Phalen now? When we went there you didn't think so.
So Green...does that mean you don't think it's Phalen?
so what's the deal with Phallen?
Searcher, I think you have to read the clues generally, more than one word at a time. That is to say you can't just pick out certain words and forget the rest. Looking at last year's clue, only once did a single word have a double meaning (orient, hinting it was on the east side)
and because it's Friday, I'm staying up!
SueBee, in my opinion, they've given us the name o'the park not once, but twice, in Clue #1.
