Still, "contests waged of yore..." Chair-O-Key was fought over by counties and cites. And why did St. Paul name it Chair-O-Key? They're not from around here, are they?

I may have to begin to think that does refer to Hunters' talk of past Hunts, specially if I stay with SW.

thats what I was saying about Mounds.

when I read the clue, line 3 was like an ephipany.

really hard to think it means anything else but clue 3 opened the door for a couple other parks.

on a side note since I'm anagraming in my head and Im watching the inauguration..... Barack Hussein Obama and his side kick Biden - I keep thinking Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein - just seems really really wierd to me.

geeesh that just extended the number of parks it still could be bald eagle regional with Tamarack and Long Lake (always in the background as a good park) - thats if we go out of St Paul though.

Interesting book, green. It mentions "Dayton's Bluff" as a part of that area. Where is this bluff?

Good memory Every 6 months for the checkup so I seem to constantly land during the hunt.

I hate when the dentist asks "so how often do you floss?"

Boreas, while on his extensive travels, came upon a winter paradise known

as Minnesota. He paused to behold the enchanting beauty of a magnificent

group of seven gently sloping hills in whose embrace nestled a beautiful

city. Boreas whistled in sheer ecstasy. "Historic Saint Paul and her seven

hills! An ideal place. I will make Saint Paul the capital of all my

domains. It will henceforth be emblazoned to the world as the winter

playground of the realm of Boreas.

The Seven Hills are: Daytons Bluff, Cathedral Hill, Capitol Hill, Crocus Hill,

Prospect Park, Williams Hill and Mount Airy.

From a winter carnival blog Winter Carnival Legend, it is not a Med hunt blog.

Daytons Bluff is one of the 7 hills of Boreas. Maybe the "hill" in clue 2.

dentist: "you haven't been flossing every day have you?"

foxworthy: "no not every day. in fact, last time i flossed, you did it!"

from "i don't know why my dentist makes me lie to him."

I don't floss much either until the day before the appointment. Then I use a whole roll of the stuff and have to go to the hospital for a blood tranfusion.

An arbor is also an axel or spindle of a wheel. Or a main shaft or beam.

And a henge is a wheel that has arbors. Swede Hollow has a henge that harbors arbors. It was made naturally (I'm guessing) and there is no need to fear approaching it.

Harbors arbors? Dome/mode?

Too, while not often documented there were small turf wars or skirmishes down in The Hollow between the young boys/men...
