I wasn't sure of Conway until clue #8 and I wasn't sure of Newell until #7, and after 5 clues, I'm not sure of Valley, but I do feel confident. Time will tell though. Otherwise its about time for me to get out of here. Not sure when I'll be back on so good luck everyone, maybe see some of you tonight.
Swede Hollow has nothing but a biking/walking path. It is a park only in the sense that it is open space! It's not Swede Hollow--it has very few features that could point you there, and if PP gave any of those out, those who have been there even once would pick them up!
found a few guys today who had been at swede hollow. they said the steps were all closed and they looked around, but there is no way it was going to be there. they dug up one circular area.
Barbie--como is so big, that you could fit these 5 clues into it, so many of us like to search smaller parks/rec centers first, because they seem excavatable and have a greater chance of stumbling on the thing by accident.
Just a thought, but the dictonary says that mettle is sand or gravel in a fireplace. CIRCULAR fireplace, with mettle on the bottom. Any thoughts or just a random noodle?
Do you think that the medallion is definately in St. Paul. If larpentuer is the Cut off from maplewood to st. paul that runs through phalen. could the medallion be in the north side of phalen or are we thinking it is definately in st. paul proper?

lelej--none of the clues corresponds to Downtown in my mind. Rice is fenced off for carnival activities. It is very unlikely PP or St. Paul wants a lot of digging there. We're talking serious fencing. I dig Kellogg every year, but it's just me, I view the park below my window, and the fever hasn't struck anyone else. Mears has no connection to these clues, that I can tell. It maybe in a park on the periphery of downtown, or that has a view of downtown, so if you need downtown to fit your interpretation of the clues, I would take it in that direction!
Parks near or with view of downtown: Irvine, Boyd, Valley rec center, Mounds, Harriet, Cherokee, Nathan Hale, Swede Hollow--my guide is at home, so that's the best I can do from memory,
I was at Valley today. The kids were out for recess. They wouldn't even let me park there so I had to leave. Why would they hide it there and take the risk of strangers being around children? Also why would they hide it somewhere you really didn't have access to during the day? Just wondering cause I think the clues match too?
Well, some of us are heading to Valley at 6-7pm tonight to look. I am sure more of us will be there tonight than last night. See you there! I will be with Allison
Its a really good point about the kids. When I was younger we used to search our playground (NW Como) thoughly ever year. I don't think its going to be at a Rec Center/school playground. Maybe a non-school Rec Center, even then I doubt it.
I was at valley last night around 10:00. It was very quiet. A man did come out of the school and asked us what were doing out there, when we told him his response was "OH...do the clues lead you here? Hmmm..." Then he just went in his car and drove away then as we were leaving he was pulling back into the parking lot.
Does anyone have a solid theory on "Circular Thinking"? In my opinion it is a big part of the hunt. at first i thought a circular library or school, but i'm not sure
I also don't believe the Valley Rec theory. There are a couple of things that were stated could be seen from there that I don't believe are actually visible. The gold horses for one are on the other side of the capital. There is almost no parking and there are tons of kids that use the rec center for an after school program and the kids that attend Franklin Magnet.
Could clue 4 be talking about the game of bridge, therefore be telling us it is on either side of a bridge??? (I dont know much of bridge but in paper they are labeled East West North & South?)
I have a crew of diggers, I do all the thinking
Does anyone know how to dig up past years clues and explanations....I thought the PP did it but can't find them?
I have never lifted a hand to shovel and I have found the thing about 20 times
I wasn't sure of Conway until clue #8 and I wasn't sure of Newell until #7, and after 5 clues, I'm not sure of Valley, but I do feel confident. Time will tell though.

Go to www.coolercrew.com
The cooler crew sight has past clues and some explainations
I still think you are in the wrong park AW....but good luck anyways!
Has anybody checked out Swede Hollow park? Does it have a playground or ballfields?
How would the Re-Hash Bash go over in "the Ghetto" ???

thanks alan...I found em

I was also at Swede Hollow last night...Highly improbable....too treacherous to get to with the closed stairs and the extreme hills....

I agree with you nildear. Stop the Valley theories.
Sunny if you go to the North part of Phalen in Maplewood, and you'll be sitting in a court room most likely being sued by maplewood
Well, some of us are heading to Valley at 6-7pm tonight to look. I am sure more of us will be there tonight than last night. See you there! I will be with Allison
How bout around the cathedral/Hill house, there is a mulberry st up there.(circular way of thinking.) BELOVED St Paul Man of Medal?
I like your idea google...but I don't know. Do the other clues fit? Is Hidden Falls out of the running now?

nildear and TheTreasureHunter'sGuide thank's for that, i've been trying to tell these guys it's not at valley
I like Iris more than Valley and its not even going to be at Iris.
I love the posts that talk about Maplewood.
I just don't see it, why would they put it at valley, it makes no sense.
Anyone been to Newell? Is it quiet over that way? How about Hidden Falls?
Quiet at Hidden.
Ok...how about Newell?
StepDogg have you concidered the Carousel Restaurant?
