Otay...

The first guy, the "steel" one izz a knight (McKnight). McKnight divides BC into two sections: the EAST section in Maplewood and the WEST section in the CITY.

The second guy is Laurence Curran Hodgson, TWICE mayor o'ST. PAUL, and writer for The St. Paul Press-Dispatch/whatever. He was called "Larry Ho." Larry Ho Drive is in the very northern section o'BC and could be considered the northern boundary... Larry Ho Drive intersects with McKnight...

And "deal" is "lead" spelled backwards which a newspaper man would follow...

To escape the herd find a peaceful bird Somewhere deep in the snow. Our treasure is boxed inside the word, And that's what you need to know.

I also think that "much tougher duel" means that they are going to put it in a big park rather than a Newell-sized one

Green,I was reading last night after we got home and the field in Como is named after this guy.........also had some new thoughts on other things that fit this spot perfectly! Start thinking 'duel'meanings to words and linking their meanings together.........

Daddy, IT is a tradition for my buddies and I to go sliding late at night during the hunt, even though we are a bit old for it. We tie the clues into the park so we think we are "looking for it" We once left BC at 3:30 am and no bothered us.

I think Como,really! Peaceful bird......refers to what it's hidden in but also there is a bird sanctuary right by Larry Ho field in Como.Get it? Duel meanings.

Even the word'duel' has two meanings:It means a fight and two.Deploy referrs to a battle and if you link in your thinking I get Lexington and Midway.

SueBee, and "dual" comes in again:

Circular thinking/linking - bicycle tires (two) and the chain. The hill that used to be a ski slope and you had to "keep on your toes" (where does this fit into Como?), is now a mountain bike trail/place. Dual uses.

Circular thinking:(duel meaning)cOmO.....see it? Also the carousel AND the conservatory.
