Recent Clues: 
 


 

Clue #1 Congrats to the finder, to all a reminder 
To hunt hard from first to last clues 
Medallion I is history. Now a new mystery 
Begins -- strap on your hunting shoes 

To some its demented, for all unprecedented 
But hunters’ thirst must be quenched 
Tell sister and brother we’ve hidden another 
In a park where a body can be benched 

Our 2nd prize? Don’t laugh -- 10-thou cut in half 
So get out there even if it’s snowy 
And as a special bonus -- some might say an onus -- 
A meal with our own Clueless Joey 

Good hunting to you, let this be the first clue 
Think of a woodsy retreat 
It won’t be so hard if you channel the bard 
You’ll get warm and smell pretty sweet
Clue #2 If you\'re thinking big you\'re sure to dig 
Near flora with growing pain 
Winter or summer is never a bummer 
A menagerie of fun wild or tame
Clue #3 Success on the third clue will never do 
We had to stash a second 
Round you go if you seek to know 
Where swatters of orbs are beckoned
Clue #4: A walk in the park can be a lark 
If cell phones are left at home 
Heed the siren of your desirin\' 
And do not revolt against this poem
Clue #5 Over hill and dale hit the trail 
With a handy locating device 
Fulfill your wishes like loaves and fishes 
And put your victory on ice
Clue #6 A famous singer and a diamond dinger 
Might put you oh so close to the spot 
With the whites of your eyes you should look for the prize 
Within this convenient plot
Clue #7 Don\'t turn up your noses at the city of roses 
The home of the park that you seek 
It\'s just north of town so come on down 
Our hunt is not for the meek
Clue #8 Don\'t go mental just head for Central 
Lexington Avenue will show you the way 
Your spirits won\'t sag when you see the big flag 
Into the trees you want to stray

I still don't like menagerie as a zoo because a "zoo of fun" doesn't make a lot of sense. I'm thinking the clue means there is a collection of fun things to do, wild and tame.

As for the cell phones, I believe there is a sign in the Japanese Garden that asks you to turn off your cell phones as you walk through the garden.

I like your thinking on the menagerie, though I have to say the CW doesn't always make a lot of sense anyway!

The Japanese Garden still puts us at Como. The clues haven't mentioned Black Bear Crossing yet at the pavillion on the lake, but that could very well come next.

Probably already mentioned, but are you looking at the Japanese Garden because of St. Paul's sister city Nagasaki, Japan?

    I think it was because someone (leela?) mentioned the Japanese garden (bonsai?) may be the flora with growing pains...

    or maybe I am combining noodles to make a casserole.

    I think if there is a sign in the Japanese Gardens asking people to turn off their cell phones, that I'd be there looking NOW.

    Good noodling, AW.

    What about "Aida" street at como that runs in front of the conservatory. Aida is a romeo/juliet style opera, or aida is a japanese name (meaning?), or aida is a computer geek artifical intelligence or some other computer stuff.

    Loaves and fishes is a free meal for those needing one. Our church does that.

    Hill and dale?

    Isn't fish another name for torpedo?

    No, I was mentioning it because I thought I remembered seeing that sign in there about the cell phones. I thought someone else would have mentioned it by now since I haven't been on the board much in the last 24 hours.

    So now tomorrow all will be going out to get gpsers so in case the last clue uses that technology to give the final mosh pit clue 9, they will be ready.

    I've heard several people asking about no cell phone use while bird watching or something but nothing at the japanese garden

    Is that really the clue? Why would they mention a GPS?

    are there GeoCaches out at Como? Maybe they hid it with one?

    Locating device could be a shovel, rake, hoe or whatever.

    I agree, why GPS, they may as well hide the thing in a metal box for metal detector users. Makes no sense, it must reference something else related to GPS.

    The loaves and fishes refers to a miracle of Jesus where he fed a crowd of 5000 with 5 loaves of bread and two fish.
