parking is a pain, but not too bad on the west side of the park. lots of "no state fair parking" side streets off hamline.

Does anyone besides me think that maybe, just maybe, the old way of traveling just simply means to travel WEST? Or do all of you think it's actually talking about a means of transportation? I was thinking about West 7th St. and how the signs say OLD FORT ROAD on them.... wouldn't that be another way of traveling the old way? :-o

St. Cloud - They probably did it because they were having most of the winter carnival activities there. What a great way to celebrate the anniversary. Also, you can and many newbies to the hunt when those who have never hunted before wonder why everyone else is carrying a shovel.

old way of traveling refers to the street car that is at the intersection of Gateway(circular thinking) Churchill(man of steel) also "riding around" refers to the carusoel that was just moved there this year

Crazy...

Humor me... why would memory lane be associated with the Beatles?

Mushie - I had the same thoughts about w 7th, but not all clues point toward there. I good number of them can work very well, but not all. I know because I have been scouting there for the last 3 days.

jokysu I am not new to the hunt and as I recall most of the things that go on for the winter carnival are downtown, wich would probably mean rice park, but that don't fit the clues.

deploy and destroy clue points to the missles or whatever they are by the lake

Right off Churchill is a bridge that is still standing though the road has moved & you can see the fountain

Ares - I had that thought a bit late today. I was already digging and looked around to see if anyone else was near, then I realized I didn't bring my own armband. Arghhhhh maybe tomorrow.

I got it....I will just put on my all white wedding dress from 4 years ago, and then everyone will know who I am. That would be hilarious. LOL

how about old ways of traveling may mean that it is a battle creek because I think old stillwater road runs by it
