I just read the clue explanations. i think clue 7 was hard to solve if you didn't know the story of this Ann lady who killed her husband and hid out in COmo back in 1859!

WW, you've been doing this since '98. YOU KNOW The Re-Hash Bash is always the Sunday after The Med's been found...

Why not bring the whole broomball team??? :D

Was the wooded area the Med was found that really woodsy area that goes from the pool to Hamline, or different woods...I just don't yet know the exact woods...thanks

c'mon WW, not ALL the clues were bad. Yes, I agree, some really obscure references and the wrong use of certain words. But every year when the explanations come out its like that. At least the hunt lasted till clue 12! That's pretty dang good!

Mally, see: Conspiracy Theory 2003. To me, not many o'the clues feel right, but for #1!

Yes, clue # 4 about the french immersion school was stretching it.

And #12, green!

Yes, this year they "moved" it from HI to Como!!

Something to consider. Remember all the thoughts we had on these lines? Not one of them was used in the explanations. I generally liked these clues a lot better than previous ones. But to use a clue to something that doesn't boarder or can even be seen from the park is stretching it a bit though. Otherwise, I do have to give kudos' to the writer if he/she sees this. They really weren't too obscure at all. I'm sure we would of figured them out if we tried to make them fit Como instead of HI. We just didn't have enough noodle time due to all of the dig time instead.

Than those whose barbs have stung us.

Standing here, you can see, so clear

Keep yourself warm, away from the storm, Even in the dead of winter.

...prepare to cipher. This one’s yours to keep.

Of coursewe all know

But do not dismay, we’ll find a way

...was quite the talker.

...beau (used incorrectly), — many said so —

...to your soul.

To solve this mystery of sorts. If I were a sleuth, I’d search for the truth

But celebrate, it’s not too late

will feed you vultures

I can't wait for AW's mock hunt. At least most lines are taken into consideration.

I don't think they moved it from H.I. to Como.

This was a well thought out, intentional and methodical mindf**k on behalf of the clue writer.

Kudos dear cluewriter, you f**ked us good.

:-)

Remember folks, we asked for it.

ive been doing cluses since i was a little kid,, never able to solve any till the 90's though, lol.. ok, i was in jail in 86',,, well,, my dads a cop, and we were taking a tour,, and we all had our picture taken. i gotta work at 1!!! ahhhh!!! i hate work!!!!! WORST CLUE WRITER EVER!!! Hunts need to be short,, otherwise i go wayy too long without sleeping, and not doing homework, and missing classes cuz i pass out before them and sleep through them, and stuff... then i go crazy.... if they doo go long,, i need clues that i feel will be solvable by mortal man and be applied to just ONE or TWO parks.. Clues shouldnt be able to simply applied to 3 parks,, but only very cleverly to one.. they should only be appliable to just one or 2,, no more! COMO dosnt even have 2 towers,, where other parks do, yet two towers is the answer,, come on people!!!!!! this clue writer needs to be over thrown!!!

I did like clue #9 when if you played with the first words, points to Horton Avenue...

this woman,, come on people,, it fit scheffer and harriet better, cuz you can actually find traces of these people at the park... thats like as obscure as if say,, the woman was my grandma (cuz she talks all day long and dosnt stop),, and she was married to my grandpa, who was good with woodworking, who built the horseshoe pits at scheffer, so its at scheffer.. how many people would of known that about my grandma?? maybe 100 people (my relitives and friends), sounds like more people than knew of this como woman

I agree, WW; how many people knew that much of Como's history? I grew up on Hamline right across the street from Como; I could hear the lions roar and night, and I didn't even know about this fugitive!
