I just saw College Park in the book - way of thinking, there is a bank, library, oh yeah and it ssays that the park drops off at all sides therefore a bowl shaped.

university av, is arguably still the busiest (non-freeway) street in the city, though dickaroo.

College is too small, thought there last year.

Get this: there is a Bison Ave that runs into Midway by Como - suppose someone thought of that one. Looks like Pryz did.

"One Way" of *linking . Has anyone notice any One Way streets in any of the parks?

Annette - what more does it say about College? It seemed that, according to the website, it was decent size. Yet, I couldn't find it.

Comio is almost all one ways except como

sharky, i tend to agree, como last held the med. 4 years ago. but it would be quite bold to put it there. i haven't looked into college park.

deb, como's got a one way on i believe the north side of the lake.

If you want more complications,here's one.That same I-94 is also parallel to Old Hudson Rd.-the old way v.what was once called 'New Hudson Rd.',or Hwy.12,now 94.Henry Hudson could be the man of mettle.

Somebody previously thought of Forest and Sherwood,thinking of Robin Hood.There is a corner of Forest and Hudson.The bad news:No great amount of space,no riding around that's fun,no man of steel comes to mind at that location.

College has tennis courts (on your toes), can be good for sliding, gythe st, chelmsford, Doswell ave - none of these make too much sense. it is in the St. Anthony Pk area - I have nevery been there so I don't know more than I am reading.

Interesting, David. I am just trying to expand my horizons into some other areas. I have been so focused on the same few parks. Thanks.

Thanks Annette... just considering ALL options!

I hadn't put these 2 together, but the 2 clues "steer clear" and "to escape the herd" might have something to do w/ each other.

Well ? seeing as that we can't find a st.paul"place"where the gold IS ,maybe we should all get together and meet each other and talk about the clues? A park/tavern? i have been busy this week "hunting" and don't have the time to to type this into words.

LuckyII, that's not a great idea to post your e-mail address. See, there are some real psycho's out there. I suggest you set up a hotmail account and use that instead.

There are animals at Como Zoo-but not enough to constitute a herd of any one species.In the aggregate though,the animals could be regarded as a herd.

david, there still is a hudson road, just north of 94, in the vicinity of earl st.

Annette, want something to do that's INTERESTING? Check out the clues from the 1961 hunt! Tell me I'm wrong... but aren't they using similar words?

Sharky, yeah - looks mighty interesting! I am still reading it...

David Hulbert

You're supposed to find this peaceful bird away from the herd.By Clue #10-that won't be feasible.

But it does suggest moving away from "the herd".A herd of animals-a herd of something else?

Hey Ares,

Scribe was out earlier with the kids. We've got stuff going on until later tonight. Maybe we'll get out there after the next clue. It's still too vague for me.

You're welcome LUCKYII

Did anyone notice clues #2 and #3, the first letters of each line are in bold just like the G O O D L U C K are in clue #1? Or is just my computer?

"Did anyone notice clues #2 and #3, the first letters of each line are in bold just like the G O O D L U C K are in clue #1? Or is just my computer?"

D.B. It's not like that in the paper. Only on the web site, AND I also noticed it's only like that if I am usingg IE and not Netscape.

Just logged on, anyone want to do a quick recap for me? PLEASE!!!!

THX 1138

S.B.

There's no "Quick Recap". Everyone's just throwing out their ideas.

Which are still numerous.

Me, I still don't have it figured out. I'm just gonna wait for tonights clue I guess.

thx has it right - no quick recap w/ us - I think it is great that nobody knows yet, and the hunt is not over.....

SUE:It's absolutely at MLK center,or it's absolutely at Como.Such is the consensus.

Not much talk of Phalen or Highland today.

Yeah, AW went up to AA to check it out before dark.

Another thought, brought to my attention by my sis... The rodeo is in town next week. Herd? Steer?

Also, cattle area = South St. Paul

Clue 4 mentions proper place... in previous hunts "proper place" meant proper name. Any thoughts on a BOLD (new) park with a proper name? MLK would be one...

Annette B.

Do you mean near S St. Paul, because it can't be IN S. St. Paul. I never heard of the rodeo around here. Sounds like fun. That '61 clue still looks interesting.
