I don't know a thing about Phalen or why they wont put it there but I believe the rules say that it will be hidden in Ramsey County NOT only St. Paul

Anyone from the Conservatory on-line through a lap-top? Trent, Green?

the first letter of each line is an anagram for "city", but i'm sure everyone has noticed that

Hey all. the Linking-thinking debate has been resolved. This is on the pp website.

Clue No. 3: We will be updating the Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt clues at midnight each day.

Circular thinking can be one way of * linking To the treasure that lies out of view. Your bank account won't be shrinking If you can figure out this clue.

  • The final word in the first line of Clue No. 3 was incorrect in Wednesday's Pioneer Press. "Linking" is correct.

    Well that is interesting that they would admit the mistake...linking must be an important word...

    do you think that they would ever hide it on goal of a Hockey rink

    I think the linking refers to a chain link fence.

    Thanks LH for the info. I still don't think it has much to do with the clue though.

    And the "out of View" could refer the Hidden Falls Park.

    kolin stevens, any luck at the conservatory? We were thinking the linking refers to the panes of glass and how they are linked together into a circle.

    Clue Master

    How many CC were there?

    Tue, 01/23/2001 - 5:15 PM Permalink

    Real nice people, and they've done a LOT of research on this, IMHO

    I'll be down at the conservatory until 6:00 if you need a guide. Else McGoverns around 9:00. I'll give you a deal.

    I'll talk later.

    DigginDude

    I think it is in the downtown area cuz of the anagram in clue 3 and the "bank account" could refer to 1st bank... just some thoughts

    Clue Master

    Kollin - You heddin to McGoverns later? Others too?

    Tue, 01/23/2001 - 5:18 PM Permalink
    SYS0P

    Yes, this is actually Ian. Kollin's dad. My wife and I are going there and I think most of the others too.

    Hiyall!

    Just getting showered and dressed for the 2nd time today....then we'll be dropping the kids off, and heading to McGovern's. Probably won't be staying *too* late though.

    These clues have got me thinking in circles. I think I may have to back off for a clue or two, and see if anything makes sense to me then.
