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

One should not believe everthang that's in the paper.

Here's my shine on the "ittiz otay" thing:

Politics.

Pure and simple.

There'd be one hell of a pissin' and shoutin' match if a bordering 'burb or city said in the press, "Keep your Hunt and Medallion away from us!"

What could they say but, "Oh, yeah. We're cool with it."

You can access the archives at twincities.com and search for the article by the name of the columnist, but they charge a fee to do that.

I by no means think that I'm always right. I know that on this one, I may be wrong. All things considered for me, I feel better about Como than Central.

It's a standing joke in my family, green.

I'll call them at midnight and tell them I know EXACTLY where it is and it seldom is.

It's right up there with, "It's lost forver!". And it's usually not.

My prediction for the next clue- some obscure historical reference (hedda gabbler anyone?).

I havne't had time to check out the rest of the clues but my husband just informed me there is a Hilldale street running through BC park :wink: I'm sure its just coincidence though :wink: I have to say I'm still at IM park...clue 5 still fits with it so until I'm kicked outta Mounds thats where I'll be :wink:

Wow-- how did you get clue 5 to fit IM?

l and a mommy

Green what if the loaves and fishes do = sermon on the mount but in a different way...MetroState is just around the corner and up on top a big hill from Mounds...I know you all are probably sick of my mounds connections..Handy locating device could be the beacon.

l and a mommy

There is also the fish hatchery but I don't think it is refering to that...I was sure clue 5 would make me leave IM and go over to Como but now I have to wait for clue 6

How do you equate Metro State with a sermon? But you could be rite. I'm not tired o'your Mounds Joy.

Gives me more room in CoNo, and more time, too!

I like IM because of its size. I'm not going to wander around the bigger parks.

So I like when you noodle the clues to fit IM, Mommy. :smile:

I expected last night's clue to refer to a Cy Young winner or a rubber or something to cinch it for me though. Didn't happen. :frown:

I feel like I should be out looking, but I just don't have the energy to drive over to St. Paul and spend hours out in the cold. I'm still fighting this cold a bit and I have a sore throat and not a lot of energy.

I do NOT like how PP folk are getting the Clues to match BC.

HA I thought of you when we found hilldale street on the map....but I don't see the other clues fit.

But I think

Over hill and dale hit the trail

means over the hills and dale of st paul is roseville so hit the trail

I still like Mounds except for this line.

Winter or summer is never a bummer

I can't think of a fun winter sport except the old ski jump

It just makes me think of a skating rink is all.

How many roads are they going to give us to Central Park? Partial reasoning to why I don't like that as a park pick... How'd we get there? Every clue has three roads....

(sorry, just a little bitter... just got back from the PP boards...) I am done going there....

Clue #5 fits Central really reaaly good, so that's where I'm leaning at this point. However, I can't get the whole "handy locating device" out of my head. Remember the "quite clever device" clue from 2004, "its Phalen Park". Is there an anagram in this clue, probably not, I'm just spitballing here.

and also "It's a prank" the anagram for "Phalen Park" was clue #3 that year

this year clue #3

"Success on the THIRD clue will never do"
