That would be a riot! Call Seven Corners Antiques. He has lots of unusual stuff like that relating to St. Paul. Floyd at West St. Paul antiques just has Winter Carnival stuff.

Looks like the antique shop I was thinking of is gone. That's the place they found a bunch of the Hi-Lex gnome costumes. He'd bought them when they disbanded and had most of them stored away.

Ok all I'm off to work I'll be out tonight and because it will not be found before I can get to the park again it just can't...That being said if one of you find it I'm ok with that. Good luck all stay warm its actually in the double digits today Eureka!

Was Hammy out at the St. Paul Saints games?

The old St. Paul Saints weren't half as zany as the new team. Or are you talking hockey?

Oh and before I go does the third line sound funny to anyone else but me? It just DOES NOT sound right. Who finds the spring sounds like a questions now if it said He who finds the spring that would be different....I don't know it's the only damn noodle I've had all day and almost forgot to post it.

At the base of a big tree, collect a fee

It rests not far from the weeds

Who finds the spring will be able to sing

Eureka! And thanks to the Swedes

ice man sliding down the hill on a garbage can lid (the one i heard me2 fell flat on her butt with), and hockeypro taking a rest (no tates, i'm positive that isn't anything intoxicating he's got) after clearing out the smaller of the two brush piles.

I called Rob (Brassmonkey) and told him of the post that some woman found it with a man and there were all happy and jumping around ect.

But that it could be a fake out

He went on to tell me that as he was coming into the park a man and woman were leaving all happy with smiles on their faces and holding hands.

He thought to himself "I wonder if they found it"

People don't always turn it in right away

Is there anyway we can confirm or not If it really has been found?

We have a bunch of Cooler heads at the park ... it just seems so

cruel to have them still dig for the sake of sore muscles and no

puck.

This seems a stretch, but is it possible Clue #4 refers to 7th St? That's where the XCel is, where the convention takes places and hockey is played. Seems like a two-stepper though.

Or maybe collect a fee somehow means to take a sighting. Maybe if you're at a big tree and you can spot a spring from there, the treasure will be along that line not far from the weeds.

I'm having a hard time getting exited about this hunt now.

I feel its just a needle in a haystck and not sure if it will be found. Maybe 1st year to charity?

I'm right there with you.

Only a few hours to decide:

participator or spectator?

MUZIK - just kick apart one clump of snow when you're out - at least you can say you tried.

All the more reason why you shouldn't try to drink and spell! I think that whomever responded that way is a perfect example of why greed is such a negative thing because it brings out the worst qualities in people.

hahahhahaha yeah it would be like the Phalen hunt where the guy kicks the snow and finds it... I couldn't get so lucky tho... but it would be funny.

So when are folks going to Yarusso's for dinner?

I agree with the idea that if someone paid their way to these boards and want to take part of the conference call, more power to 'em. They've paid their fee and have the right.

This is the most clues I've had to slog through at lunchtime yet this year.

CM - Muff said? You are turning the screw. You'll be sorry!!

:sillygrin:

I have to say, overall the clues have been okay, but I miss the lining stuff up, being taken on a ride that starts big and slowly moves you to the puck. The past few years seem to be all park, park, park, park, pinpoint it. Not my favorite way.

Here's his apology. I think he want me to baby sit now! :eek: :sillygrin:

"I owe you an apology, Sorry, very sorry. I shoud have known better, you have come thru for years. I need to find someone to pawn my 11 month old on so I can get back out their. My wife isn't home until 6pm, I need to get out there sooner. I don't understand how it was'nt found yet, every big tree in that park was dug around, I was out there until 230 AM"

Some people are such smartie pants.

Some days its only been a few - including yesterday. This was a huge jump.

So who is going to Yarusso's for dinner? And what time? We might try to make that. It would be fun to hang out with everyone for a bit.

Man, I've love to go for some spaghetti at Yarusso's. But I was up at 4:30 this morning with a queasy stomach. I've been drinking tea and Coca Cola is being delivered. I'm feeling a lot better now so I'll see.

assuming its not found we'll have three of us up there for dinner. not sure exactly when though; we've got some stuff going on tonight that we have to get taken care of.

I'm off again - back to the work place. May try getting out earlier today...if I can get that one dangnabbit report finished.

Good luck to anyone going out this afternoon. Daylight might prove lucky.

Sooo..... dinner at Yarusso's - or Volleyball? Either way I'm taking a nap.

Anyone know coolers that may be in the field? - time to call them in.

What's this? The final hours, clock is ticking and you're talking about "dragging"? Pick yourself up and get a move on. There's plenty to do yet. It's right on the tip of your noodle!
