My kids were ther last night and said one entrance wasn't open and had't been for awhile and I believe the Mcgowan entrance was just being closed. I'm not positive of the street names out there,being an eastsider. If i ever get time off work I'd love to go out there in daylight.

Could "Duel" be reffering to the 2 times it was at hidden falls? Hey, I got an idea, does anyone know where we can get the clues from 1993?

the strange thing is, about a mile away from hidden fall is Crosby park which is almost the same as HF

It was found at HF in 93 at 12:15 AM so I guess you can still get in the park but not via the main entrance after closing.

Hey, the 6th clue in 1993 talks about perfect circles in the sky!

Hey don't they have some book you can buy about all of the Saint Paul Parks???

I remember that clue, regg. i'm not going to rule out the balls as a reference to hidden falls, but i find it quite unlikely that they'd use the exact same landmarking items in the same way in 2 different hunts. for this reason, i also dismiss those who say the gold in clue 1 refers to the capitol.

jake inge the book is called the treasure hunters guide. :)

if you're looking for a copy of it, i picked mine up last year at what used to be the hungry mind over on grand. it ran 14 bucks, but when i do finally find the medallion, it will have been 14 bucks well spent.

Is "to the treasure lies out of view" referring to HIDDEN falls?

the book itself is called st. paul parks a treasure hunters guide. it was put together by steve worthman, who goes around these parts by the name "the treasure hunters guide".

regg, i still like the out of view association with hidden falls, and it's fairly high on my list.

OK ! Now its time to get down to business. Everyone likes at least half a dozen parks at this point of the game. The question I present is how many of those parks have construction activity in them and would the "med-hider" place this little blue translucent piece of acrylic in that park? Ponder this one for a moment.

My guide has a picture of Steve Worthman and 2 kids!

Hey, gang! To get the newest copy of the St Paul Parks - A Treasure Hunter's Guide, go to www.treasurehunt.8m.com. and ask for a copy. As far as parks being closed a night, during the hunt the city keeps the park open because of the Winter Carnival and the Medallion Hunt. The police patrols the park pretty close if that is the case.
