I still think these worthless clues can fit ANY park that you want them to fit.
OK...I think we are missing some hidden meaning/anagram/whatever they are doing to confuse us.
Do you remember when it was at Como and they used "He once led a state with a city most great, but is better known here without you" and it turned out to be Mario Cuomo from NY without the U to make out COMO? I'm not saying it's at como this year, but a clue like that does not seem like they are GIVING us the name of a park. I mean it's clue 7 already and all we know is that it is in a Dove box for crying out loud.
The other streets are Desoto and Hyacinth, with Clark, Ivy, and Cottage streets hitting it perpendicularly. My guess is tonight's clue might address one of those streets or it may say something about "out of the woods"
Clue 1 hint-duel ans=duel parks 2 hint-deploy ans= Ft. Snelling was a deploment depot in WW2 3 hint-bank ans= river bank 4 hint east and west ans= crosby an HF are next to each other 5 hint- man of steel ans= Henry ford Ford plant 6 hint- space and riding around ans= huge parks and 6 miles bike paths 7 hint-old travel ans= W 7th is now Ft. Road
Allison, I agree with you 100% that DeSotos are no longer being made. But ittiz a "car" and cars are still very much a common means of getting to and fro... LOL!!! They're still "a way" - a current way - of getting around.
But "Coach"es and "trolleys" are no longer used in our society. They are no longer "a way" of getting around. They are an "old way" of getting around.
Never mind! You're as stubborn as we all are when we've decided we're right! LOL!!! And that's as it should be.
Got a question...doesn't the first clue usually say "ata park in St. Paul"...yet this year it said "In St. Paul" not mentioning a park...Crosby Nature Preserve????????
I hope tonights clue is actually a riddle that refers to the park exactly. and not these crazy words that just keep getting more and more confusing!!!!!
I think all of you people who are in the wrong parks are there because you're trying to interpret the clues by picking out words and phrases and looking at them out of context when what you should be doing is looking at the clue as a whole and try to figure out what *one* bit of information the cluewriter is trying to give you with the overall clue. Now sometimes they will slip in a bit extra with a single word in the way they once used the word "serve" last year to suggest a Butler for Pierce Butler, but that was kind of an extra thing that you didn't really have to get, and such one word clues are really pretty rare.
step, in case you haven't slogged back, allison and the scribe have a bet going: one drink at mcg's after the hunt. allison wins if it's at aa, the scribe wins if at como. she also wrote a fairly nice tome as to why it's in como, and even went so far as to narrow it down a bit. of course, i'm still likin' como so i'm a bit biased.
Me and my bro went hunting today down at Hidden Falls.....believe it or not....there was an amish guy riding the trails in a buggy. We both looked at eachother and just about soiled ourselves. I think maybe this could be what they are talking about. Maybe the PP has got this thing mapped out more than we think. Between them planting dove soap and the amish guy....i think they're trying to throw us off....I dont know...just noodlin'!
I really think clue 7 is giving us a street name and there was no Trolley St or Streetcar Ave in St. Paul that I could find. I don't think the distinction of the mode is all that important. Not as important as the fact that there are people who still remember travelling in a Desoto.
scouting, step; i'm still scouting. made it out to como, and parking was a pain so i drove around a bit. i'm not particularly looking forward to actually digging there until at least monday lunch time.

Any thoughts on that???
Hehe, I was waiting for someone to ask that.
Ummm, Arlington and Arkwright maybe? hehe
Just a bit east of 35E

Tom, you're well on your way to becoming very *un*popular...
Don't yell at me. If you disagree with me, say so. You're entitled to your opinion as I am to mine.
Get off my last nerve you've managed to irratate too much for my comfort, kid. I'm not in the mood for your childish antics. Shape up, kid.
Joe>> nice thoughts!

Sorry it took so long but I can't type.
It COULD be AA or many other places at this point how about Bay-Tuscarora, marydale...crosby farm hidden falls..
Heh, is the next clue out yet?
Accessible by city bus?
hmm, bout irvine?
still like streetcars, as old method of travel, relating to the street somehow

Whats happening Wright Winger? Wanted to call you today but didn't have your phone.
I don't know it is in a dove box, there could be a word game with "peaceful bird" for all I know...???
I hope tonights clue is actually a riddle that refers to the park exactly. and not these crazy words that just keep getting more and more confusing!!!!!
Ther u go teddy
New Daddy... I'm vascillating between Highland and McMurray Field(s).
Kids, what's up?

I think it's at Newell again. 2 years in a row to prove they can stump us at the same park
New daddy-- exactly!! I am tired of the frickin word games!!!
I favor HF over Crosby because of the parking but that might be a lame excuse.
Yup, Allison. I agree with you.
And I'm still at Highland and McMurray Field(s)!
Step--LOL!! that's what i thought at first too... but that would be so cruel
wolffpac...at crosbby you can park all along the road on the way down the hill "depression" into the park
Trying to wake up from my nap, overcome this cold, and figure out if I want to go out tonight and where.
You out here digginganimal?

DigginDude....the clues actually make sense there too.
well, diggin dude, we were cruel to them by keeping it short last year; revenge is a dish best served cold :)
evening folks
Hey Gang! New info regarding the hunt!
Me and my bro went hunting today down at Hidden Falls.....believe it or not....there was an amish guy riding the trails in a buggy. We both looked at eachother and just about soiled ourselves. I think maybe this could be what they are talking about. Maybe the PP has got this thing mapped out more than we think. Between them planting dove soap and the amish guy....i think they're trying to throw us off....I dont know...just noodlin'!
Ares - you go out diggin' today?
I really think clue 7 is giving us a street name and there was no Trolley St or Streetcar Ave in St. Paul that I could find. I don't think the distinction of the mode is all that important. Not as important as the fact that there are people who still remember travelling in a Desoto.
Kids, hit Mom Press when the paper comes out.
ALL YOU GUYS should hit Mom Press when the paper comes out! Ittiz a blast!!!!
Allison, I, too HATE C&W... Will be tuff for me to do this... LOL!!!
Good evening Leah. Happy hunting today? :)
scouting, step; i'm still scouting. made it out to como, and parking was a pain so i drove around a bit. i'm not particularly looking forward to actually digging there until at least monday lunch time.
true... LOL!! to Newell for me!
Seeing your tagline, Green, I decided to pop in my B. Joel collection.....
Welcome Leah! How did you do today?? :)
Have you been there teddy? At crosby some of the cliffs are 100 feet up!!!
I didn't go anywhere looking today- it's my daughters b-day so we were celebrating that
Good point, Allison. And to those folks that can still remember traveling in a DeSoto, it ain't an "old way" of travel.
Is anyone going down to PP, and out digging afterwards? Sorry Green
Happy birthday Leah's daughter! How old?
5
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR DAUGHTER, LEAH!!!!
We're going out after the PP gives us the goods!
I think tonight is going to be a big clue. If we were to find it...i may just have to jog all the way home and give myself a swirlie!
thanks- she's my hunting partner
http://www.desoto.org/
Give yourself one HUH!
I need myself a hunting partner...
