Getting back to the hunt ... ok, this is really a stretch, but I don’t have any better ideas, so I’ll just say it. ... Holcumbe Circle and Marshall/Webster Park (apparently this is all one park)

-the words east and west can be found in Marshall/Webster (this is the really-stretching part)

-Holcumbe CIRCLE

-there’s a playground

... It’s in the Summit Dale area, if you want to try to find it on your map. The Hunter’s guide also adds, “the park is on school grounds but has a rec center included.” (yeah, I know I said earlier that one shouldn’t read too much into the clues.) back to homework.

Mpls Kid....how do you get "east and west" out of Webster/Marshall? It has only one "t".?

I can make a point for Hidden Falls for every clue so far.

DigginDude

why does this thing automatically italicize questions!?

oh well who cares

Wed, 01/24/2001 - 8:25 PM Permalink
kid minneapolis

well, you have to share the "t" between the two. as I said, it's too much of a stretch.

I can see the case for Hidden Falls but can make a case for at least two rec centers........

Clue 1 Hidden Falls is 2 parks hence dual Clue 2 deploy, Ft. Snelling was a deplyment depot for WW2 clue 3 out of view, hidden clue 4 west of the river is mpls east of the river st.paul, the proper place and the park is depressed, very low

Just got back from my little cruise around town. Went to Valley, Iris and Hidden. Nothing going on anywhere! I'll wait for the next clue.

The only thing that bother me about hf is that the parks are closed at night.

wolf..i agree..same as phalen...

I was telling you guys that it is a possibility that I can be at hidden falls! It wasn't hidden in a lot of other places!

Wed, 01/24/2001 - 8:37 PM Permalink
DigginDude

oh yeah... but if it has been there before, it must be ok

Wed, 01/24/2001 - 8:37 PM Permalink
DigginDude

I hope it is at HF, that way i don't have to drive too far

Wed, 01/24/2001 - 8:38 PM Permalink
regman

Exactly, diggin dude, now you know what I was getting at

Wed, 01/24/2001 - 8:39 PM Permalink
wolfpac

Did the hunters only search in the time the park was open?

Wed, 01/24/2001 - 8:39 PM Permalink
Alan and Jill

Oh yeah - Just for the heck of it I drove past Newell, since that's close to Iris - Nothing happening there either. That place brings back to many bad memories - Jill

I think Hidden Falls and Phalen are our best bets

Wed, 01/24/2001 - 8:41 PM Permalink
wolfpac

I suppose if the park is full of hunter's the park police wouldn't close the gates. Wish someone who hunted there in 93 could answer.

don't know......
