Clue #1 You've joined the hunt for the regal runt
To prove searching does pay
Don't dig a hole or knock down a pole
And the golf course is out of play
Last year Jake took home the cake
With a clue a bit off level
This year we'll rinse off all our prints
Lest this hunt go to the devil
Clue #2 The point of all this is so that you won't miss
Your big chance to grab all the cash
Now gather your guys and a gal who is wise
You'll have to do something quite rash
Clue #3 We've scanned the county to hide our bounty
And keep you on your toes
It may sound risible, but our puck's invisible
Although it might just stick to your nose.
Clue #4 How fun is the snow how far will we go
You really ought to go see
Get up for the mission and not just the wishin'
Get into the game-it's all free
Clue #5 There once was a clue that drove you-know-who
To threaten a heinous act
We'd use it again but we're afraid of his pen
My friend, that's an unfortunate fact
Clue #6 All ye who look should honor the book
As one who stood for hope
Much was built in the name of the kilt
Look sharp now and never mope
Clue #7 If you should go look high then low
One could see it from a bower
If it's your bent you might seek a tent
To protect in case of shower
Take note of the wood and do what you should
To extract the prize for yourself
Build a bridge to your dreams as high as they seem
Leave nothing behind on the shelf
Clue #8 Look at the buck to acquire good luck
In finding the grail this year
Link a jar,a line, a star lawyer divine
While crying in your beer
He won, then lost and the nation was tossed
Into strife that was far from civil
The point I'm making is yours for the taking
Believe me - not the message board drivel
Clue #9 This name brings tears, elation and cheers
And occasionally even outrages
It sits on walls and rides the halls
And fills a dozen pages
The hills are alive and you'll have arrived
Refrain from the very injurious
Be bold and be brave but your skin you must save
What's off-limits should frankly be obvious
Clue #10 Look for the sight you hope is just right
You're doubtful and you're torn
Make the rounds for what rhymes with grounds
And part of a rose with a horn
Through flames and flow this park where you'll go
Is the site of sacred relics
Stay away from these and the cliffs if you please
Or you'll be in a heckuva fix
Clue #11 Air and river sounds lead all to Mounds
Far from the graves take your entourage
Twixt Burns and Thorn, an icy pathway is born
Across Mounds from a gray house and tan garage
Hell no fury hath as those on the wrong path
Mounds and Warner form a woodsy perimeter
The path not official contains footprints beneficial
Some 300 trudges in - quest for a quitter
This trail you must follow goes down a narrow hollow
Under a fallen tree to an old rusted drum
From here you must search for a hillside path perch
Wherein lies the center of fun

Did you get Star Trek Second Generation (or whatever) for wishin' mission Clue like I did?
Bridge to your FIELD of dreams where the men are gathered (like LEGIONS of them)?
County Road C; C sharp <above/high>, B flat <below/low>?
That could be wrong though.
Anything is right and wrong at the same time until we can get a better idea of the park.
I really like the idea of being rash = using the same park two years in a row.
Who knows? It could be correct.

No lights
No Trails
No real landmarks of any kind
and worst of all...
No toilets!
I figured dumping all this out today would either scare the clue writers into changing their strategy, or get lazy because I diverted everyone's gaze from Highland or someplace else across town.
I did a search into Gladstone and several Maplewood city minutes have popped up in their city council meetings - I don't think they plan on leaving it a natural area - its going to get torn up anyway and made into a "central" park or something as part of an urban renewal project. There is nothing to damage except tearing down trees - and even then there are very few to tear down.
instead of Maplewood,?
My gut feeling is that it's in Phalen, on the Maplewood side.
However, I do like the park I have in mind as a dark horse for tonight's clue. Alot of good stuff around it, and it's relatively out of the way with a decent amount of parking to support the masses.
Anyways, speaking of parks that match clues, have we considered Hazelwood Park? Across the street from "Jake's" in Maplewood, also right behind where the library use to be before they moved it down the road - "Leave nothing behind on the shelf"
Not too far from Country View Golf Course which is now, literally speaking, out of play
First Evangelical Free church right up the hill, County Rd C, Beam Ave., Cancer Center for hope, Markham Pond (Markham was a poet who wrote a poem called "The Man With The Hoe" about hard labor - instantly made me think of hunting for the medallion, lol)
It was nice getting out and taking notes today, I really hope this next clue pinpoints -something- other than the fact the clue writer doesn't like us
and then another noodle hit. Don't have any of this worked out to any detail, but here is my noodle. Have a good tearing up of this crazy idea.
McMurray Field - dog house for the shelter in case of rain, ball fields,
The way I read the clue is there's 4 hints in this clue.
Each hint has 2 lines. :confused:
'
I like it... but I have stronger feelings for CoNo than anywhere else... I just can't get my self to dig there without a little more... (Where to start?)
What are you people not getting about who has an inclination to run for a tent when it rains??? And the answer is NOT Boy Sprouts.
Come on! We just had this Clue within the last 10 years. Almost verbatim, or something very similar. You guys are disappointing me. *I'm* supposed to be the last to figure something out.
What I don't like about Como is the construction areas, the new bridge span over the oven area with big danger signs on it, and all those dang poles along the road.
Seems like not a good time for a treasure hunt out there.
It was locked up for about 3 or 4 days in 2004 though...
with U I can't get myself 3 dig without more info.
:grin:
Did you not see my post? Maybe you're missing a lot because you don't go back to where you had been reading but take right up where your post brings you???
Maybe something Canadian?
PLEASE????????????
every night from 8:00 to 11:00 :grin:
Ask Monkey. I think he can xplain it better'un me.
Green- I have made an attempt to contact Tim regarding Conrad's access. Hope it helps. It's all we can do at this point. Having Conrad contact Tim directly would be the biggest help.
On the shelf by my computer desk is Calvin and Hobbes'
Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons Now I am inspired!
Bid no trump
And take your trick.
This will help you
Make your pick.
It was at Phalen that year
I'm not saying I think it has anything to do with this year,
But that thought has been used B 4 and could be used again
Anything is possible esp. this year.
Searching hill and glen.
Pitch a tent if that's your bent
But stay within your ken.
Explanation: “Brave” and “tent” refer to Indian braves, who fought the battle in 1842 for which Battle Creek Park is named. Hill and Glen refer to Hillsdale and Glenridge avenues near the park. The Scottish reference to “Braveheart" also alludes to nearby 3M, known for its Scotch brands.
anything around it???
I'm open to look at anything at this point. :crying:
