Hidden Falls reasons:

1. Out of sight as in Hidden.

2. Circular Thinking. Take a look at the first letters. Draw a circle starting at C then to the I keep goin to the T then to the Y. You get CITY.

3. East To West. Well Hidden Falls LINKS St Paul And Minneapolis. Look on the St Paul Side!!!

Whachyall think?

Maybe if I can contribute to another short hunt the PP will finally realize just how much money they're losing by NOT having me be the clue writer.

yeah, allison, but they'd still donate the money to charity. well only 2/3 of it because of that tax write off thing.

Good Evening!

Just had to take a nap tonight as I was getting way to tired this early in the hunt.

Is someone getting the clue? Is someone transcribing?

You got slightly fuzzy thinking on that Hidden Falls deal up there.

You said to draw a circle from the C to the I to the T to the Y, but that isnt how the clue is laid out, it would have to be from the C to the I to the Y to the T to form a circle and CIYT is not a word. Furthermore, that whole idea seems a little far fetched. The word hidden for out of view works, however, seeing as they are trying plane and simple to make this a much harder hunt than last year, they are not going to give the park away on clue 3.

I just was diggin at hidden falls, I like how the clues add up there, but I didn't see many good places to dig. Met 2 other nice diggers, still a lot of virgin snow, but its getting harder to tell new footprints from old ones.

New Daddy - I could think ittiz anywhere. I have noodled this thing and made it fit almost anywhere.

Hidden Falls, Capital Mall, Phalen or failin' that test, Como, some other public grounds or rec center.

Ares - I have to admit - didn't slog - too much to read after a good nap.

Scribe the paper is supposed to be out at 11:00 at the Pioneer Press building. They haven't made that time yet though.

I think it's at Phalen Park. Circular thinking means going round and round and there is a small lake called Round lake that is LINKed to phalen. It's on East Shore Dr. What do U think? Let's do some brainstorming!!
