Yesterdays clue told me Phalan

Sundays clue could say Crosby

Todays clue says Como

I still think the Fey-Palin anogram is a good one. But I still feel it may be too early for a park to be given but yet again, its the obvious spots that we don't look in- meaning its a longer hunt even if they told us a park.

Last night I found that out

Ironically there is a Chippewa (something) Company at the bottom of the street Montreal. Kinda down by Pearson candy Co.

Phew... I can easily have these clues fit 4 different parks. :barf: :crying:

1999 Conway clue:

A park is the spot but a golf course is not,

So please don't disturb a fairway or green.

Follow this advice and you won't be caught

Wasting your time at the wrong scene.

"Our Thoughts (PP): Says not to even consider looking at a park with a golf course. Past years have indicated that you're at the right park when a golf course is mentioned, but this year it says you're "at the wrong scene" altogether if you start digging at Highland, Phalen, or Como, for starters. There's also a "No Golfing" sign on one of the backstops at Conway."

Based on this by the PP, the fact that this years first clue says "fore" indicates a golf course either at the park or nearby.

If you go the pig = Hamm theory than you have to rule in the Hamm Falls at Como.

I beleive Hamm Waterfalls is smack next to Black Bear Crossing. But what does a convention have to do with Como Park?

Harriet and Kellogg and Como are 3 parks you can fit every clue in to.

really good job on the noodles.

I learned the hard way to be careful what words you use to Google. Don't Google "Dicks" if you're looking for the sporting good store. :ooh:

Highland

clue # 1 not much I can see except for hidden in a Box. Box hid it there in 94 his first year as hider.(in a hand made woode box)

#2 Lots of hill and dells, hillcrest ave. fore - golf. Lost of contests there including old hunt.

#3 Lots of natural woods, water tower and ice rink. approach ie golf

   no fear - circus junvents has a show about a hunted house

#4 Hocky mom - ice arena,

#5 lots of sporting event, scotish festival,bower the circus tent

Doesn't really work for me.

I'll try another park

any other sugestions for Highland??

Posted by my new best friend at the PP board:





P Press didn't do very good job re: posting rules and out of bounds locations this year.....but Saint Paul Parks & Rec has recently posted the following:

Medallion hunters need to follow these rules/restrictions if searching in Saint Paul's parks:

- All Saint Paul Parks are closed from 11 p.m. to sunrise.

- The Medallion CANNOT be in the following parks/locations due to surface and turf restrictions:

- Rice Park and Landmark Plaza

- Como Park Zoo & Conservatory

- Phalen, Highland National, Highland 9 or Como Golf Courses

- Under the artificial field turf at McMurray

- Under the refrigerated outdoor skating rinks at Phalen or North Dale

Folks who violate these rules/restrictions are subject to a citation.

the mystery.... that cement labyrinth maze at Como. Years ago I wondered about this and I remember googling it and finding them made across the world - kinda reminded me of something out of crop circles and the movie Independence Day...but can't remember what it was called again...not much known about it other than it's a labyrinth....

Swede

#1 Box wrote alot about Sweede, and his funeral was right next to Sweede.

#2 dellwood place, train tramps settled it.

it is a dell and hill

#3 one of few parks that has nothing but natue in it. no ballfied, playground, just nature and a path.

open water in creek, and ice

the approaches are scarry creepy area with abandon brewery, have no fear

#4 detention - new criminal apprehesion building near by, palin phalen creek

harding hocky rink near by, pig - hamm brewery, hamm mansion

#5 sweet land was movie about minnesota immigrants. Box's wrote about all the immigrant communities in sweede

this doesn't work for me either.

any other sweede ideas??

Could one of you BC people run down how the clues fit that park?

I went sledding as a kid at Wakefield Park in Maplewood, on a steep hill along Prosperity. There's a more gentle hill at Casey Park in N.St.Paul. Casey also has a hill along the hockey rink, One year we had alot of snow and we built a jump/ramp up the side of the hockey boards and would land on the ice rink. Man, we sure were more flexible then. We also iced the hill and went skating down it.

Where is this posted, and why this year are they enforcing park closures? Gosh I can see it now, last clue, police tape all over the park with the swat team and pepper spray, and that will be one hell of a foot race once sunrise comes.

Chair o key

From 40below

OK green so let's discuss Chair-O-Key then, shall we?

1st clue "now at rest" anagrams to "on Water St" - the only viable anagram I've seen posted yet Upfront -riverfront connection

"Water and Ice" - Water St. and Curtice St.

"glorious" = "joy" ave.? possible

Everything we see was done naturally - Bruce Vento Nature Scenic Overlook at Cherokee

Sports - tennis, basketball, etc

beasts exposed - going by the logic of past hunts and clues, this could be referring to the Nature overlook, where I'm sure you could find beasts exposed somewhere

detention - jail seen from Cherokee? you could see the old jail, but I don't know about the new one

I know I'm missing some things, this is just off the top of my head
