Wow-you miss so much while working! Just a thought--that triangle of land by the Cathedral is topped with a statue of the first volunteer for the US Civil War. This pertains to nothing right now, but could later. I've dug the spot before. Also, in pertaining to the Cathedral, where Ramsey Hill meets Summit there is a nice small park that overlooks the city. Keep that in mind for future clues. Town Square Park is no more. That ends that.
Actually, this thread is from the 2000 hunt--Mom didn't start a new one this year. Could be good humor if someon starts at #1--They would feel compelled to dig at Newell by #800.....
the town square park i was joking about back in december, but then i read that they were planning on closing the park this january of 2001, due to city budget. so thats technically "not a park", but still "public land", but thats really pushing, besides, its not practically to put their
Daughter just called and reminded me that the hunt was on. Thought I'd come back to the cooler and join in. While San Francisco is far from beautiful St. Paul, I have experienced many hunts, and still know the city well.
She would not go to Newell last year when I told her to...oh well, maybe she'll listen this year.
Wow, time to start bringing the comp to work!!! To much to slog!! I think the slippers are a good thought. As far as being under a bridge, I'd doubt it; however open public land does sound good, seeing that they never said park. But that may be a technicality. They told us outright in the first clue, last year was a dissappointment and that this year will be a challenge. It would definetely change things. If you go back to Conway, the whole Park/Rec Center argument kept us confused for a while. It was a long good hunt that threw us, time to try again and not put it in a "park". Plus, if it is not in a park, the boundaries between public and private land may be not be separated by anything, and may be not be able to be determined all that way.
Okay, All! Those of you that provided the producer with your email addresses (those at McGovern's Sat nite, I emailed him yours) will Bee getting an email regarding this. This is just to reiterate the information in that email and provide for those who have not been able to email Trent.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, January 23 and also on Wednesday, January 24, filming will be as follows:
Como Park Conservatory - 3:30 PM until 6:00 or 7:00 PM
McGovern's Pub - 7:00-7:30 PM until... Whenever.
This is the same schedule for *both* days.
I cannot stress hard enuff how kind The Conservatory is being to allow NAHF to film within the building. They - the people that are in charge of The Conservatory - are VERY nervous Nellies and are NOT fond of Diggers and Hunters. They really, really REALLY don't like them. Every year they have to put up signs that read, "The Medallion IS NOT in The Convervatory," as folks actually try and get inside and DIG!!! It took a lot of persuassion on Trent's part to accomplish this, and we can't let him down or embarass him - our ourselves. We need to show these folks not all Diggers are inconsiderate, drunken, hostile slobs. We need to show them the fine stuff this group is made of.
That being the case, there can be NO, NADA, GOOSE EGG, ZIP, ZERO Digging implements of ANY kind in your hands when you exit your vehicles. No shovels, no picks, no spades, no garden trowels, not so much as a teaspoon. There will be none taken into The Conservatory. There will be no Digging anywhere in the immediate environs. Trent has given his word that "they'll behave and there will be no digging of any kind."
Let's make sure we show all concerened The Cooler Crew is a great, caring, polite, considerate, crazy, fun-loving group and that we are spoken highly of in the years ahead.
WOW, is this thread cooking or what??? Almost 12 thousand posts in one day????????
looked at clue in paper, looked at clue on wc website. The website had bold and the paper didn't. It seems they always screw with the cooler crew.

The Hot Spot as golf courses and statues but DO NOT TOUCH OR GO NEAR. The Hot Spot has private property adjacent or real close (Private Parking???)
Any thoughts?

Hello there,
Daughter just called and reminded me that the hunt was on. Thought I'd come back to the cooler and join in. While San Francisco is far from beautiful St. Paul, I have experienced many hunts, and still know the city well.
She would not go to Newell last year when I told her to...oh well, maybe she'll listen this year.

Has there been any talk about the word "deploy" perhaps pertaining to a naval vessel. CS

ok. really random thought..."deploy"...possibility of a boat launch??
green- i will behave. i promise.
Deploy...a ploy to get us all out in the cold!
that could work too....like I said..twas only a random thought
I was thinking a boat launch, or a reference to the submarine memorial at Como. CS
