There's no need to destroy as you deploy

For the hunt in our wonderful town.

Golf courses and statues you must not annoy

And please steer clear of all private ground

Why would they even mention golf courses if the park didn't have one OR one near by?

Maybe they have an agreement with the city of St. Paul that the city will let them dig up a park each year as long as they promise to tell people to avoid the golf courses?

It is interesting that they use destroy and deploy in the first line. It is awkward sounding. One of those words (or both) is important.

Duel, deploy. At Conway they had a kind of sports theme going, and so far this year it seems to be a combat theme.

clear ave runs into phalen (west side), and whatever this green blob is on my map north of prosperity heights park. other than that, nothing.

Clear St. is near Phalen, if you will remember from the opposite of cloudy and fair arguments last year.

the writer may have just read a war book, and them was the words that popped into his head when he was watchin' tv/writin the clues

or he was watchin a war documentary?

or it's hidden at battle creek. sometimes we deserver more credit than the writers give us. of course, sometimes, the opposit is also true.

The first line could read

There's really no need to destroy

For the ...

I think deploy is the biggee here. Maybe it is a battle theme, like Alison suggested. Or, maybe it is an anagram or something. I will have to think.

Steer = wheelock pkwy?

But seriously,I really do see a "battle" or a "war" theme here.

Even if it is in a park with no golf course, people will dig in other parks; hence the warning. My guess is that's all the info we get now. Not on a golf course or on a statue.

tilden, hancock, hamline, mattocks, and highland are within walking distance of snelling ave., tim. at least they look that way in the guide.

No user inform…

My gut instinct is leaning me toward the Capitol Mall at this point.

There are a couple of memorials to the Vietnam and/or Korean war on the Capitol Mall which could have to do with "deploy".

Found an old candle by the "memorial to the living" at capitol mall.

checked it out pretty thouroughly before putting it back.

lots of war/battle references at the capitol
