John and Lori - But if clue 6's reference to "move off base" refers to baseball/softball, i would think it wouldn't be on the REC side cause that's where all the fields are.
como - i think the riding portions of clue 6 lead to this one (btw, anyone know if the ride area is considered part of the zoo proper?) also could be a reference to the paddle-boats on the lake. circular references to the conservatory and the carousel.
hidden - out of view, yes it's early on for a reference to the park if they're gonna keep it difficult. new idea from a friend of mine in mankato - circular == sewer pipe == the start of the falls? (whooshing sound of 15 cooler-crewfolk heading to the north end of hidden).
phalen - bus turnaround, end of the park road going westbound are circular. plenty of stone walls there, off base == a.w.o.l. => walls. (sound of 15 more running to phalen) there's also the round pipe climing equipment in the playground. and it's overdue.
highland - the disc-golf course, many chain links at the pins when they're in place. discs are by definition circular (unless you've scavenged a couple off the bottom of the pond down at north valley that should have been thrown back), since this is the only thing that really matches, highland gets the last spot on my "it's probably here" list.
Few reasons, one ya'll always on at the same time, once one logs on, they all do, and then they all log off at the same time, and cuz ya'll always do the same things "We're going to the the taco bell" then another one would be like "Hell Nah, I saw somthing somthing on it, ground 0 meat" ya'll put two words like that.
"Riding around can be fun" and "move off base" have to correlate somehow because look at how it's worded...
The prize is at a place with lots of space
Where riding around can be fun
But you'll have to move off base
If you hope to be the victorious one
*riding around can be fun BUT you'll have to move off base?? Can you ride around on baseball fields? These clues are strangely worded this year in my opinion.
ken, no one's sure. i'm leaning toward como, regg is leaning toward como, stepdogg is leaning toward como; to be perfectly honest, these are just educated guesses. but the only things certain in life are death and taxes. scratch that. for me its just taxes. wait, scratch that too.
Thank-you Ares, I'll pay you when I find this thing!! My husband thinks I am crazy!! The house is a mess, he had to cook dinner last night and he went to bed alone because I was noodling and waiting for the next clue!
Ares, what do you think of the old trolley at the miniature golf course by the PLAYground at the Como west picnic grounds? What is leading you toward Estabrook?
self, nothing in particular leading me toward estabrook. it just happend to be where i walked 2day. stay off that course, too:) although placing myself back towards that trolley, i'd be in the vicinity of my circular objects, but wouldn't necessarily have to move around to keep them out of view like i'd have to were it across from the pond.
step, if it controlled your life, you'd not be going back to school sunday night, and you would have shown your face here before last weekend when we had our "mock hunts" :)
lori, i've got a shedload of people at work who think i'm crazy, too. since i'm effectively on call for the next few weeks, i told one of the guys i work with before i left this afternoon that if i didn't answer important email in a reasonable period of time to call me despite the fact i'd be knee-deep in a snowbank somewhere. when others find you insane, you know you're truly one of us. at least none of us here is crazy enough to go jump into lk. mtka. on new years (i hope).

No they aint man
I know it's a college
I thought that base sounded kinda millitary. Any thoughts?
Maybe MOVE OFF BASE means shortstop.
My thoughts were maybe it's right off the baseline???
Hey, Dumplin, why you think were all they same people?
I'm leaning towards Hidden Falls. Aren't there only 2 entrances? Duel/dual.
think u are right
Ares- could you please tell me where zone 1 is?

If its at como,whos the man of mettle?
Dumplin Fool, dont sit there and talk smack and then not back it up. Im Out

at phalen, john?
chris, military bases were the first things that sprang to mind with that clue.
whos the man of mettle in the one clue? hello so is it at como!!!
how'd you get the bullet in there, step?
ken, no one's sure. i'm leaning toward como, regg is leaning toward como, stepdogg is leaning toward como; to be perfectly honest, these are just educated guesses. but the only things certain in life are death and taxes. scratch that. for me its just taxes. wait, scratch that too.
Thanks Ares.... (sound of MushieW still sitting here and NOT whooshing or running) LOL!! I love it!! You're funny! xo ;-)
just do a "shift 8" before you type
Yes please Ares.
I have excluded: Aldine, Arlington, Baker, Bay-Tuscaroda, Beaver Lake Park, Belvedere, Boyd, Carty, Cass Gilbert Overlook Park, Cayuga, Daytons Bluff, Desnoyer, Douglas, Dunning, Frost Lake, Griggs, Groveland, Hampden, Hancock, Hendon Triangles, Homecroft, Horton, Iris, Irvine, Jimmy Lee, Kellogg, Linwood, Lewis, Lockwood, Margaret, Marshall-Webster, McDonough, McQuillian, Mears, North Dale, Orchard, Prospect, Prosperity, Rice, Sakett, Scheffer, St. Anthony, St. Clair, Sylvan, Swede Hollow, Taylor, Tilden, Western Park,
well i am sure you are all wrong
The turn around is RIGHT by the baseball feild at Phalen.
phalen zone 1 is the part directly off of arcade/61. most of it is in maplewood.
that'll be 50 cents. 25 cents to me to defray the cost of the guide and the necessary work to look it up, 25 to tthg for putting it all together :)
Ares, I'm with you, for now!
Thank-you Ares, I'll pay you when I find this thing!! My husband thinks I am crazy!! The house is a mess, he had to cook dinner last night and he went to bed alone because I was noodling and waiting for the next clue!
Ares, what do you think of the old trolley at the miniature golf course by the PLAYground at the Como west picnic grounds? What is leading you toward Estabrook?
How many of ya'll think Rude Boy, Evil Dead, Jake Jykle, Twizted Juggalo and all them are the same person?
regg, that'll be 5 bucks for me typing up your thoughts :)
hey, i'm gonna get my 10 grand regardless of whether i find the medallion :)
Lori - hahaha
Sounds like you have TRUE medallion fever like the rest of us. This thing controls my life once a year!!
Has anyone thought about Charles Schultz being the man of mettle? (He just received one.) And isn't Highland park now Charles Schultz/Highland Park?
then i apologise for calling you john, lori.
self, nothing in particular leading me toward estabrook. it just happend to be where i walked 2day. stay off that course, too:) although placing myself back towards that trolley, i'd be in the vicinity of my circular objects, but wouldn't necessarily have to move around to keep them out of view like i'd have to were it across from the pond.
I don't care about the money (that much), I am out there to have fun!
Regg your for como but last night you were so certain it was hidden falls
Lori, quit doing this!!! That makes perfect sence.
step, if it controlled your life, you'd not be going back to school sunday night, and you would have shown your face here before last weekend when we had our "mock hunts" :)
Now I'm more confused than ever.
Lori, I have thought about it, and it could work!!!
Charles Schultz is also a Financial service dealing with IRA's and such.
Thanks for you input Ares. Btw, I liked the jokes on your website.
Lori, I believe the skating rink was named for Charles Schultz...not the whole park at Highland... :-o
Well let me rephrase -
Controls my life for the time I'm allowed to be controlled! :)
Regg, did you get the point of Charles Schultz getting a medal and the Highland Park aslo bears his name?
hey its at como
What is the irc channel/net for Allison's chat room?
That would link it to banking. And it would be the year to them to focus on him.
SO THERE IS NO CONFUSION, HERE IS WHERE I STAND:
#T1: Hidden Falls
#T1: Como
#3: Highland
#4: Phalen
lori, i've got a shedload of people at work who think i'm crazy, too. since i'm effectively on call for the next few weeks, i told one of the guys i work with before i left this afternoon that if i didn't answer important email in a reasonable period of time to call me despite the fact i'd be knee-deep in a snowbank somewhere. when others find you insane, you know you're truly one of us. at least none of us here is crazy enough to go jump into lk. mtka. on new years (i hope).
