you can have the pond. i'm gonna go do something useful and dig up a golf course, or something :) phalen's got these nice cross-country ski trails, ya know. hmmm. keep on your toes...
Actually Ares, that town/ground bothered me too. If this is just a throaway, "don't hurt private property" clue, couldn't the writer come up with a more firm rhyme for ground? I have to believe the "our beloved St. Paul" from Clue 1, and "our wonderful town" from clue 2 is also redundant. Any thoughts?
Disclaimer to all new to this hunt: Read the rules! Don't be kickin over statues and diggin up golf courses and people's yards! Except for Ares yard,that'd be okay I guess.:)
any idea if there's any land downtown that was once a park, but isn't anymore? say, maybe 50 years or more ago. i don't know of any; it's about 25 years before my time.
found comes to mind first, with it's relation to treasure hunting. Hound, as in bloodhound, downed, drowned, abound could have possibilites, bound, and its correlary directionals (if we could have one so early,ie northbound), mound as is stay off the them, etc. Just noodlin'
So after slogging and pondering, I like the notion that 'keep on your toes' means it isn't on the ground this year. However with the known large snowfall, I'd think the sadistic medallion gods would enjoy watching us dig ourselves hernias (or is the plural of hernia, hernia?)
Someone posted a little bit back re: Battle Creek that it had/has a ski jump.....There's also TONS of cross country trails there. I'm not so sure that this is what we're to be after (when the cluewriter says "on your toes") or if it means anything at all.
duane, what's out there ain't snow. it can be walked on without collapsing. i think backhoes and jackhammers may well be the order of the day if it was buried in mid-december (assuming it was even buried).
i'm still thinking keep on your toes is an indicator that it's not readily accessible by car. then again, i am one of the people who wrote that theory last night, so i may be biased :).
I don't think keeping on our toes means to look above the ground level. It might mean something like it's hidden in the toe of a pair of ballet slippers or something like that.
I don't know... I'd need a scholar to help me on this one. But hasn't it been hidden in the crook of a tree before, or taped under a picnic table et. al.?
ok scribe, i'm still trying to figure out who you're married to. call me thick, but...
Ter, you gots male.

Ares,THX,"The sacastic extrodinaire" is my husband!
Later, Radar.
Battle Creek has/had a ski jump...
Now about those toes...
that's what i was leaning towards, but wanted to be sure.
Screw you Ares! I'm kickin over statues!
why'd the writer use town for clue 2? each of the others has a perfect rhyme at the end. town and ground aren't quite there.
start at the mall, then move to the one at the airport, scribe. :)
St.Paul is the world's largest small town!!
Yeah, Scribe... the cooler crew has far to nice an image. That'd make great documentary footage:
We're all on film digging... and scribe is on "COPS"
Bad Boys,bad boys whatcha gonna do..........
I like it Caveman Duane!! It adds a sort of savoir faire to the whole thing!

Outta the mouth o'babes.
troops is filmed on location with the men of the imperial guard. all suspects are guilty. period. otherwise, they wouldn't be suspects, would they?
nevermind. wrong show.
Scribe:
All you need now is a plain white T-Shirt (preferably sleeveless) with a big stain in the middle.
Dave,what can you think of that would ryhme better with groung that would convey the same message?
i'm with you on that, dave. walking through history, perhaps 150 years or so, where's the beloved town of st. paul at?

If it's downtown and used to be a park - it's probably under some sky scraper type building now.
four of a kind palinjoe.

yeah, ter, but under mailboxes around the block would still be open.
There you are Terry! It's under a skyscraper! I still say it's in Afganastan.
Central Park, I believe, is now part of the State Capitol grounds...I will check on that....
Scribe - I suspect you might be right...you always are, right?
Dave,isn't that where they set up the fireworks for the "Taste"?
You know it Terry! I'm Always right................until I'm wrong.....and even then I'm right cuz I predicted I'd be wrong!
I have to admit that I don't know Scribe--something I saw on "lost Twin Cities" on ch 2 a while ago.
True... you may be off base with the past... try the here and now...
I've actually got that on tape Dave! I'll have to check it out.

Aaaahh. Back with dinner.

Whats a good anagram for "hernia"?
Yust Bee, slogging.....
ED, if not on the ground.... where???
BB, long time no see... how you been???
A frog pond perhaps? Course to be on your toes,you'd have to not fall in.:)

Good, Ray, busy the last year or so. How you?

Or the toe of an "Old Navy" shoe!
Scribe, maybe it's at the bottom of the pond... got to go down under... scuba......
I don't know... I'd need a scholar to help me on this one. But hasn't it been hidden in the crook of a tree before, or taped under a picnic table et. al.?
BEE!!!!!!!! How's the frog pond?
Lika a pirate! back to the pirate ballerina's that wear old navy shoes and duel in the frog pond.........
ED, Yes it has.... maybe we don't have to dig, just find!!!!
Ittiz cold.....and DEEP too! Hi TV.
Radar,I don't want to get my hopes up!!
