The opening lines of the first verse of the hymn were inspired by some of the early exploits of the U.S. Marine Corps. Following the war with the Barbary Powers in 1805, when a small force of Marines participated in the capture of Derne and hoisted the American flag for the first time over a fortress of the Old World, the Colors of the Marine Corps was inscribed with the words: "To the Shores of Tripoli."
The marines don't have a reserve base or anything like that around do they? or would it just be considered military reserve or possibly the national guard?
The Marines fought the BARBary pirates along the shores of Triple E, and BARBs are mentioned in the first clue. Pirates are treasure seakers. Therefore...
the little old lady who lived in a shoe had to have one huge shoe, and I can imagine her doors were open because she had lots of kids, maybe it has something to do with the children's museum (how's that for reaching?!)
THX has a point, parks are always open for the most part except for the ones that supposedly close at sundown, or is that all of them that have that rule?
something to do with Barbary pirates?
Goodnight LL!
Although to mention it, there are quite a few places with open doors...
I thought someone mentioned that...my brain was on a short hiatus

St. Joe's and Regions are all I can think of
hi all got off work early and ready to do some serious hunting
Isn't there a base over by Fort Snelling?
Night all! Gotta get up in like 5 hours. Good seeing those who were down at the PP!!
I'm not sure, but there's 3 threes.. flip E around and that's what ay got....
Yep, I gotta go too
MCL and SCDs
G'nite, SCD's MCL and all that. I am hoping the answer comes to me in the form of a dream. I will sleep with the clues under my pillow!
UnitEd, ChildrEns, REgions, three E's!!!!
Okay, so wide doors that are always open, or a shoe? hmmmm....

Yeah I can't deny that connection there human24, think there might be something to it
aw come on regman, aren't you down with shoes that are by hospitals while singing the battle hymn of the republic next to a church?
You guys should slog when you come back to the board. Some of that stuff was posted already. Just trying to make it easier on you.
For some odd reason, earlier today I wanted to think about looking at a downtown park... something just kinda stuck in my brain...
maybe the clue writer is a former marine, hence all this barbs and tripoli stuff
Now I didn't say that!
Does anyone here use IRC ever? Seems like it'd be a quick way to discuss things..
okay, so you're sticking with the shoe thing regman? what happened to your last 3 clues theory about saying what's around it?
the little old lady who lived in a shoe had to have one huge shoe, and I can imagine her doors were open because she had lots of kids, maybe it has something to do with the children's museum (how's that for reaching?!)
Hey Jordenn, is that the Jordenn we did breakfast with?
I think triple E just means it's a big park.
That being said, g'nite.
SCD's and MCL y'all.
It's definitely stuck on one of those round Marine decals next to a shore, nearby one of Barbie's shoes.
Hi Ace! Welcome! Yeah the pp site bites!
IRC chats are too fast for me tho- its hard enough to keep up here!
One nice thing about discussions is you can brainstorm alot :)
THX has a point, parks are always open for the most part except for the ones that supposedly close at sundown, or is that all of them that have that rule?
Barbie's shoes! HA!
'All who enter' are computer users.
Yeah, what was that crueler crew stuff all about? I mean yeah, most people were ticked about last year's hunt, but does it really need mentioning?
The Barbary pirates woud be a cruel crew, would they not?
How about one of the parks along the missisipi? seems like theres those two along the riverbank that are quite long (wide)
Wait. Isn't Triple E a professional wrestler?
Message to Cluemaster.
Jake is at Buggs Bar (Surprise).
As is Me2 and Ares.
HAHAHA! Good one human, the next clue will be about jesse, he is a former resident of the capitol
I almost had the thought that somebody among us was carrying it around and we had to figure out who it was. But, that is insane.
Leelabell?
