I think it's been mentioned but "Oh" starting the first clue and "fore" ending the second clue could also be a sly reference towards the hunt of '04, which would be a controversial contest from the past, of course at Phalen

    well there were two separate lipstick/animal statements:

    The pit bull was by Sarah Palin

    and the Pig was by now Pres. Obama.

    Are we suppose to pick a pit bul or pig for our clue? Or is it just to point to Palin/Phalen

    Fitful is an odd word

    This is still up in the air...with just a tad more focus.

    This clue doesn't need too much noodling. I am off to sleep. Busy day ahead tomorrow.

    Good luck to anyone out tonight.

    Goodnight, SCDs and keep the faith. One of us will get it this year.

    Red herring?

    Realistically, even factoring in Phalen Creek we're still only looking at 3 parks/areas that it could be.

    In my mind Como, Highland, Hidden Falls, Crosby, Mounds, BC, Cherokee and the rest are all out

    I still think Swede Hollow is meant to throw everybody off

    I'm rollin with Phalen on this. I'm gonna check for any more hidden meaning in clue 4 though.

    detention brings to mind police. Highland park has a police station. Is there a school near pahlen

    Seems too obvious too early. Lipstick on a pig or a pit bull is just a cover up. What are they covering up?

    They could be covering up how the medallion got where it did in '04... remember, alot of people thought it was a cover-up by the Press

    Can someone refresh my memory of the 04 hunt? I was living out-of-state during that one. Thanks!

    Darn! Thought they were referring to the Gateway Trail in Clue 2.

    In this harbor of impressive arbor just doesn't seem to jump out at me in Phalen?

    Phalen Blvd runs near Swede

    Phalen Park, Phalen creek in SH, anything else Phalen

    Could it be hidden in something Palin? Just noodling

    Maybe they want folks to think Palin/Phalen when the whole clue is just about the pig.

    Wait, I thought the pig WAS... errr, n/m

    Palin's quote was the pit bull. Now Pres. Obama's was about the pig.

    So maybe hidden near a horse shoe pit?

    Pig = Hamm's mansion?

    just a thought.

    I think the Palin (Phalen) clue is clever. Could either be Phalen Park itself or the Phalen references all over Swede.

    I think the leading to Phalen may be a red herring,,,,didn't Box said he like to throw one in every now and again.

    I think Pig =Pig's eye Parrant who settled near Crosby

    Brassmonkey

    Yeah, I still like SH, Phalen/Palin for the park itself is also obvious.

    "Approach and have no fear"...

    Payne Ave.

    you can approach Payne Ave and have no fear of actual "pain" (at least, barring any confrontations, hehe)

    detention = isn't the Ramsey county workhouse adjacent to BC?
    Tue, 01/20/2009 - 10:02 PM Permalink
    40below

    yes, close to BC... but not as close as the Ramsey County jail is to Swede
    Tue, 01/20/2009 - 10:04 PM Permalink
    Brassmonkey

    yes it is, not sure what to think now. Phalen/Palin is so blatant but I am also thinking school/jails/police stations

    very true

    I honestly don't think BC is in play.. this is between two parks to me, and it's drivin me nuts because my -hunch- says Swede is the red herring... but the clues all fit Swede just a lil better than Phalen... and I gotta go with what the clues tell me.
    Tue, 01/20/2009 - 10:05 PM Permalink
    Brassmonkey

    Funny, I thought it was BC until tonight and thought that Sweede was the red herring also. Now I am reconsidering.

    The only part of the clues that I can't connect to Swede is the part about contests...

    fits Phalen perfectly, but contests at Swede? cant make it fit
