She is Harriet Bishop. She was a school teacher and was known as quite the talker; divorced and died around 1880 slightly crippled. Her memorial portrait stands near the playground at Harriet Island. She was a leader in women’s rights (and had a girlfriend who was a carpenter). Harriet Bishop wrote several books, including Floral Home. She also opened a "Female Seminary" in 1850 and promoted women suffrage throughout her life. Harriet was of course the site of the Ice palace in 91 (see clue 3)

Rose Butler... Rid of the man... She Divorced. She Ran & Ran for office after Carpenters Beau... I don't know.. She was ill with cancer or something before she died. Almost "walker" material
All of the clues are pointing to Harriet Island. I was not 100% until clue 7 arrived. I was there tonight for a short time but found nothing but I am sure it is there. Probably under a damn rock! My physical abilities probably will not let me get there again so good luck to all of you and have FUN!!! Clue 1: Basically just tells the hunt is on. Barbs possibley referring to hooks/fishing/ the river. Clue 2: You can see the dome from the site. Clue 3: The enterence of the park is the Pedestrian Gateway, 20 feet wide. This is located near 3M (em em em - a forshadowing clue to be "de-ciphered" in Clue 5. The Clarence "Cap" Wigington Pavilion has been altered to accomodate for all four seasons, keeping you warm. Clue 4: Puck reference maybe towards the Excel center, but the clues already seem to point where it is. I think it is a ruse. The red white and blue may refer to the flag on the island, but the fireworks are light on the 4th of July from the island as well as other events. Clue 5: De-cipher the clues in general but I think it refers the the Triple E. M spelled out is em. Em Em Em. Also, this is the big one... Harriet Island renovation was scheduled to take 15 years. It was done in about 2 to 3 years depending on when people agree it really started to begin. Clue 6: Not much in this clue. It is telling the puck is wrapped or under something. Either way, out of the natural light. Clue 7: This one is the biggest so far. Harriet Bishop, one of the first established teachers in Minnesota, divorced her husband. Taught in a school which used to be a blacksmith's shop. Her boyfriend prior to marriage, James Humphrey, built a lavish house for her, but sold it when she refused to marry him. She probably died (1883) with a crippling disease maybe causing her to use a walker/cane. This of which I have not been able to verify. stolen from twincities.com and not believing it!!!!! searching elsewhere. too many people spent too much time there??including me.

I was reading some ST Paul history stuff and there was something about how criminal used to cross over on the high bridge (there were supposedly 2 or 3 high bridges) to Cherokee park because it was out of St Paul Police jurisdiction.
I never read that but I know theWabasha Street Caves was were THE CASTLE ROYAL was the biggest gangster club in St.Paul at the time. I also read that Cherokee before it was a park was a campground site for tuorists.

Real Location IMHO Ok, since I am stuck in Chicago this year with no chance of getting up there this weekend, I am going to try and help anyone out that I can and give you my interpretation of the clues....It is in Marydale Park.....Here's why Clue 1--Simply tells us it is in a park Clue 2-States that there is a spot in the park where you can see both the Capitol and the hiding spot, but probably not the Capitol FROM the hiding spot Clue 3- Refers to the Salvation Army, 2 blocks from Marydale Park, which offers 24/7 shelter to those in need. I think there is also a bit of foreshadowing with the EEE clue, meaning IMO medallion will be found in shoe,shoebox, or partial of either Clue 4- Coldest Star= North Star.....Why is this significant? NORTHERN Pacific RR tracks which run through Marydale Park. Red, white,blue and legions clue means that you can see the American Flag flying atop the American Legion Post located at 72 Ivy Ave, a mere block or two away off of Rice, between Maryland Ave and Arlington Clue 5- Tough clue....My interpretation is that the 1st Bank #1 is visible....As for the 2 and 3, thinking maybe refering to the hopscotch court on the playground.....Would jive a bit with the leap clue....Still puzzled a bit on this one Clue 6- Basically just tells us that it is under a bridge, rock, in a hollow tree stump, etc. Not laying above the surface Clue 7- IMO, refers to poem by Mary WALKER called She ran...Here is the link "http://www.geocities.com/butterfliesbreeze/sheran.htm" I think we are supposed to derive Mary out of this clue. As for the carpenter's beau, my initial thought is a saw, but not sure what the connection is just yet....Maybe a street reference(Sawyer?) Anyway, if the next clue refers to a famous man named Dale, I think you can start digging up the park. But if anyone wants to get a head start, there is my noodle's ammo for the Marydale argument...Sorry I couldn't join you all this year.....Have fun, be safe, and happy hunting..........Good Luck
It seems like people are still kinda scattered after clue 7- Harriet, IM, Cherokee, Swede, Eleein Weida, Marydale, Downtown/not in a park/by Cathedral, Excel etc...
I like the Harriet info,it seems to work, but technically wouldn't she have to be the carpenter- and he the beau? Or was "beau" also used commonly for women? My first thought was a famous woman with the last name Carpenter (like Terry's first post about Karen Carpenter) Mary Chapin Carpenter was the first that came to my mind, but haven't pursued that yet.

All of the clues are pointing to Harriet Island. I was not 100% until clue 7 arrived. I was there tonight for a short time but found nothing but I am sure it is there. Probably under a damn rock! My physical abilities probably will not let me get there again so good luck to all of you and have FUN!!!
Clue 1: Basically just tells the hunt is on. Barbs possibley referring to hooks/fishing/ the river.
Clue 2: You can see the dome from the site.
Clue 3: The enterence of the park is the Pedestrian Gateway, 20 feet wide. This is located near 3M (em em em - a forshadowing clue to be "de-ciphered" in Clue 5. The Clarence "Cap" Wigington Pavilion has been altered to accomodate for all four seasons, keeping you warm.
Clue 4: Puck reference maybe towards the Excel center, but the clues already seem to point where it is. I think it is a ruse. The red white and blue may refer to the flag on the island, but the fireworks are light on the 4th of July from the island as well as other events.
Clue 5: De-cipher the clues in general but I think it refers the the Triple E. M spelled out is em. Em Em Em. Also, this is the big one... Harriet Island renovation was scheduled to take 15 years. It was done in about 2 to 3 years depending on when people agree it really started to begin.
Clue 6: Not much in this clue. It is telling the puck is wrapped or under something. Either way, out of the natural light.
Clue 7: This one is the biggest so far. Harriet Bishop, one of the first established teachers in Minnesota, divorced her husband. Taught in a school which used to be a blacksmith's shop. Her boyfriend prior to marriage, James Humphrey, built a lavish house for her, but sold it when she refused to marry him.
She probably died (1883) with a crippling disease maybe causing her to use a walker/cane. This of which I have not been able to verify.

The name of the park within railroad park was Eileen Waider. It is one block off of beaumont street and on the corner of Desoto & Tedesco. There were about 75 people there right after the clue was released tonight. There is also a North street in that area.

I was reading some ST Paul history stuff and there was something about how criminal used to cross over on the high bridge (there were supposedly 2 or 3 high bridges) to Cherokee park because it was out of St Paul Police jurisdiction.

I never read that but I know theWabasha Street Caves was were THE CASTLE ROYAL was the biggest gangster club in St.Paul at the time.
I also read that Cherokee before it was a park was a campground site for tuorists.

Real Location IMHO
Ok, since I am stuck in Chicago this year with no chance of getting up there this weekend, I am going to try and help anyone out that I can and give you my interpretation of the clues....It is in Marydale Park.....Here's why
Clue 1--Simply tells us it is in a park
Clue 2-States that there is a spot in the park where you can see both the Capitol and the hiding spot, but probably not the Capitol FROM the hiding spot
Clue 3- Refers to the Salvation Army, 2 blocks from Marydale Park, which offers 24/7 shelter to those in need. I think there is also a bit of foreshadowing with the EEE clue, meaning IMO medallion will be found in shoe,shoebox, or partial of either
Clue 4- Coldest Star= North Star.....Why is this significant? NORTHERN Pacific RR tracks which run through Marydale Park. Red, white,blue and legions clue means that you can see the American Flag flying atop the American Legion Post located at 72 Ivy Ave, a mere block or two away off of Rice, between Maryland Ave and Arlington
Clue 5- Tough clue....My interpretation is that the 1st Bank #1 is visible....As for the 2 and 3, thinking maybe refering to the hopscotch court on the playground.....Would jive a bit with the leap clue....Still puzzled a bit on this one
Clue 6- Basically just tells us that it is under a bridge, rock, in a hollow tree stump, etc. Not laying above the surface
Clue 7- IMO, refers to poem by Mary WALKER called She ran...Here is the link "http://www.geocities.com/butterfliesbreeze/sheran.htm"
I think we are supposed to derive Mary out of this clue. As for the carpenter's beau, my initial thought is a saw, but not sure what the connection is just yet....Maybe a street reference(Sawyer?) Anyway, if the next clue refers to a famous man named Dale, I think you can start digging up the park. But if anyone wants to get a head start, there is my noodle's ammo for the Marydale argument...Sorry I couldn't join you all this year.....Have fun, be safe, and happy hunting..........Good Luck
It seems like people are still kinda scattered after clue 7- Harriet, IM, Cherokee, Swede, Eleein Weida, Marydale, Downtown/not in a park/by Cathedral, Excel etc...
I like the Harriet info,it seems to work, but technically wouldn't she have to be the carpenter- and he the beau? Or was "beau" also used commonly for women? My first thought was a famous woman with the last name Carpenter (like Terry's first post about Karen Carpenter) Mary Chapin Carpenter was the first that came to my mind, but haven't pursued that yet.

good morning all....still haven't ruled out BC (I can't get Barbra Carlson out of my head for clue 7, even tho good postings about Harriet Bishop)and still want to check out the park across from Capitol/Cathedral even tho I have no idea what it's called. Just seems like a good point to start from....other thoughts?
Man, can I shut a place down, or what!
