Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.
Crosby is the "tip" of ST PAUL and there is also the restaurant BUCA. "WORK YOUR BRAIN", COULD BE REFERING TO THE MICR-PROCESSOR PLANT THAT IS THERE,(OLD UNIVAC).
DQ - I guess Mounds is just as good as any for now with the generic 'all-park' clues and this recent one with the air references. I just hope the new(?) writer uses more thought when coming up with the points of interest other than just 1 or possibly 2 POI per clue. Hell, why not use some of our CC ideas that fit the final resting place even if they weren't originally thought of in the first place. Nothing worse than coming up with a better answer to a clue than the original 'generic/one meaning' answer that's printed in that final edition of the PP after the meds been found. I'm having a harder and harder time accepting mediocrity when you could easily write the clues to fit both the rookie hunter and the seasoned vet. The noodeling is fun but it kind of hurts the head when most of it is for naught.
What do you think DQ? Any ideas yourself yet or just chair hunting for now?
I liked the highland idea in the begning with prefix and suffix to make time and tide and fun and slide=highland but,,,,,,the whole no disturbing of golf course thing throws me off of highland. I heard it's sacred ground for those who golf there.
I've been hunting every year for about 20 years now. I was really thinkg HP until this clue. I think this clue could pertain to the flight paths over HP, but more realistlly it would fit better for a radio or tv tower or station. BC is still in my top three choices. I'm not convinced enough of any 1 park to go digging yet. And trust me, I'd love to go now cause I have to go out of town this weekend. And will be holding my breath till I get back. lol
How about smoke 'in the air' from the Xcel (NSP) smoke stack by downtown? You can see that from almost every park. I do like the 'on the air' ideas refeering to either an on-air radio or TV show, or an ad for one, or the tower with the call letters.
The fact that there was no clue saying stay away from the golf course is messing me up. Do you guys think theres no golf course where it is, or that they left it out just to mess with us?
Clue #2 You may knit your brows on this one Or just trek up and down every hill Work your brain, your legs, it will be fun If you have some time to kill
Wasn't it in the Rules about the golf course so it wouldn't need to be in a clue? Tide could refer to the Marina perhaps., game - refer to the Mariners., tip - could be reversed to be a baseball pit. 'Slide' into Home base., opposite of fair is fowl. Look for a ball in the air.
I've already put my 2 cents in on why I think "fun and slide" does not lead to "land" and thus "High-land". As far as them not mentioning a golf course, do they need to? They state in the rules that we're not supposed to be on one.
"on the air" is most definately a reference to radio or tv. If anything else was "on the air" I think it would classify as a scientific phenomenon. That said, "in the air" could be many things but we must stick with the simplest explanation which tells us it's a radio or tv tower. I know one exists north of Newell Park, near the tracks on the other side of Pierce Butler. The rest of the clue, I think, are filler words.
ClueMaster... I know some folks trying to get ahold o'you... Like ME!!! You return to work tomorrow, don't you? When would you possibly be available for an interview and/or you and some friends and Fgolf?
Welcome back!

How do I get into the chatroom?

Way southwest side of St. Paul
Crosby is the "tip" of ST PAUL and there is also the restaurant BUCA. "WORK YOUR BRAIN", COULD BE REFERING TO THE MICR-PROCESSOR PLANT THAT IS THERE,(OLD UNIVAC).
Am I missing Something? How are you guys getting highland?
in and on the air is a huge clue-I was thinking "clouds"
Crosby is in Highland Park next to Hidden Falls
Time and tide,= HIGH time and HIGH tide
fun and slide,= funLAND and LANDslide
=highland
I think it is in a detergent box inside a knit cap.

Ahhh okay, thanks queen
In the Air is refering to airplanes on the air is radio/tv

brb, I'm going to go look at crosby on a map.
WHERE THE HECK DID EVERYONE GO?????? CROSBY!
Ck'g to see how Crosby would fit in to the clues.
For "Look for something in and on the air" I was thinking billboard, maybe for a tv show or radio show. Anyone else think that?
How about smoke 'in the air' from the Xcel (NSP) smoke stack by downtown? You can see that from almost every park. I do like the 'on the air' ideas refeering to either an on-air radio or TV show, or an ad for one, or the tower with the call letters.
ooooooooooooooooooo, I like crosby!!!!!!!!!!
#1 from the beginning I thought "Far and wide take your hunt" meant the outskirt of st. paul and a long park.
Hmm. That could be an idea
#2 the airport practaclly borderes the park. there's the in and on the air clue
The fact that there was no clue saying stay away from the golf course is messing me up. Do you guys think theres no golf course where it is, or that they left it out just to mess with us?
Time and tide, fun and slide could still mean HP. they could name the park if it was a border!!!!! not the park.
Down the hill, far from the woods any1 know how the terrain is out there????
there's no golf corse at crosby
"Hey, hey," you say, "We're game to play But give us a tip -- be fair!"
as night hunter said: elway and gannon are streets that run right into it. baseball players.
the only 1 that doesn't fit for me is
Clue #2 You may knit your brows on this one Or just trek up and down every hill Work your brain, your legs, it will be fun If you have some time to kill
any1 got a take on this 1??? night hunter????
Theres not really a park in highland is there? theres hillcrest, and the sledding areas, but ive never seen an actual park.
elway and gannon run into Crosby?
Wasn't it in the Rules about the golf course so it wouldn't need to be in a clue? Tide could refer to the Marina perhaps., game - refer to the Mariners., tip - could be reversed to be a baseball pit. 'Slide' into Home base., opposite of fair is fowl. Look for a ball in the air.
Oh well, I am no good at this...
night hunter, you still here???
DQ- there are pictures of Crosby on our web page- On The Kings Court Page

thanks mk
There are those orange airplane guide balls 'in' the air on the telephone lines above Crosby/Hidden Falls? Just noodling...
"All we'll" say could mean "all wheel"
annie, i like that
Im totally lost again All Wheel????
