2009 - Swede Hollow

Thanks for keeping us on track..as usual...

(i'm only a couple days late...)

I think if I ever find it I oew you half... (bookmark this post)

I'm afraid, very afraid... :barf:

oh my...

Awsome link! Thanks for finding and posting that!!! I'm saving for later...

The second time was in 2008. Most of the early clues seemed to describe any place except Mounds Park but Clue 10 made the general location obvious. Clue 11 was precise ....

describes this hunt if you ask me... :barf: :barf: :barf:

What a great memory!! Thanks OT!!!

Good luck to all those able to get out and hunt today.

Coolerheads will prevail!!!

I'm gonna get done with work at 3:30 today. If I try to get out to the park at 4:00 or so, who's gonna be out there?

I am obsessed with all of those shows and movies. As a matter of fact, last night at Yarusso's they were showing each Godfather movie at the same time on three different televisions. I bicker with my wife all the time about how big of a joke it was when Dances with Wolves beat out Goodfellas for best picture in 1990. I don't know how to connect any of Tony Sopranos Gumars(sp?) to the clues though.

I hope to get out around that time too. I will hopefully see you down there.

Going to dig soon, hopefully going to get lucky.

Today is my wife's birthday . I am taking her to lunch at 12:45 at yarusso's. If you see us please say happy birthday Mary. She gets a raw deal as Her birthday is always during the hunt.

already did, do I get extra credit if I say it again?

Alright, time to go hunt.

It's still in Swede.

Now it's just time to get lucky.

I can't imagine there will be all that many people out there. This is our chance!

I agree, I will be there by 11:00am.

make that 12:00.

:eek: !

I agree...JOELCAM has been bugging me for years to PIMP the Press with their story...

<< Heading out to park soon (w/Texsis), after a detour to Starbucks :litesmile:

TEXSIS!!! :sheepish:

sigh* stuck at work. I will be noodling all day. I will make something fit clue 8. I will I will I will!

Went to a non-swede hollow park again last night, on the encouragement of my team ... but after noodling this clue, and seeing what you've all got, I am jumping onto the Swede Hollow express....Wheeeee

:pbpt:

All Aboard!

Glad you are here, i have been digging in SH since clue 2 when I saw posen down there. At least I know I havent been digging in the wrong park. I did spend 2 days at Battle on clue 3 & 4 though.

Brasscat,

Are you heading out soon?

Its your year after looking for 40.

If I dont find it or my mom, I would like to see Map guy find it.

Sort of a thanks for all the work he has done for us.

hahahaha...right next to "boxmeyer bay" ?? look it up in "the streets where you live" book...

but i don't know about the dixie boat...

fwiw...B.S.

The PP boards are still clueless. I love it.

confirmed!!!!!

With the exception of a couple of posters, the old PP board has some savey noodlers. It's a pretty small group now, but less hectic than years past.

this concerns me...

dixie= a large pot

In original novel

Tinker Bell was described by Barrie as a fairy who mended pots and kettles, like an actual tinker.[1]

I can make every damn clue fit Kellogg...but I won't...I repeat I won't go there...

ha...and I think i figured out that why I saw 2 guys last nite on the corner of Wabasha and Plato diggin' kitty corner to the Holiday gas station

"Explanation: There are deer in Indian Mounds Park"

HA! good one...I still say last year's was in Kellogg.

OT: how do you get to the "old" PP boards? And why are there two? It's confusing.

The "old" board is part of the PP's forum pages. Lots of different forums there.

Re: Clue 9 intersecting streets poing into SH.

Major Rice W. Payne (CSA)Rice W. Payne

(1788-1884) was from Virginia.

His Saint Paul lands were confiscated after the Civil War.

He must have whistled Dixie more than once.

Edward Preble (1761-1807) U.S. Navy

He commandeded the 3rd squadron in the

the assault on Tripoli.

Thanks, OT! And when I went to your link my old name and log in worked!

  When I put St Paul Pioneer Press in Google, go to their homepage, click on Treasure Hunt, then Discuss the Clues, I get the NEW board. But your link brought me directly to the OLD board. Confusing!

Thanks for the info and links, Witch!

The URL's begin differently. The old is "forums.twincities.com and the new is off of the main PP site and starts "twincities.com

Interesting tie-in about Virginia. I was thinking about Virginia Hill, Bugsy Siegel's girlfriend, who was a nightclub singer and of german ancestry. But couldn't find a virginia relating to SH.

Diggin, I agree when we were there last night I just couldn't feel it and now I know why...I'll be out afterwork tonight

I researched all I could about Virginia Hill, and I found nothing. I really wanted to find out which movie she was attending.

Can anyone tell me anything about Conway's Bar? 499 Payne, now the MN Music Cafe.

It's lonely on the Dark Side. :chagrin:

Yeah, I couldn't find anything either. But just the name, Virginia Hill, sounded so darn promising. :sheepish:

In the summertime, the Hollow is very "bugsy" (sorry)

awwwww... boohissss!

:sillygrin:

W.P.Ry

I could have sworn..

Weida and Lafayette?

I don't even know how this popped into my head...

It doesn't have to. It could be on a Palin bumpersticker, button, underwear... that part doesn't have to mean park.

I believe Lafayette would be French.

Just called the hotline.

The medallion has NOT been found.

Tater posted it correctly. I was just responding to what I thought I'd read here.

Describes this hunt much better than last years... There were lots of us there prior to clue 10...

Heck.. I was there a year early :wink:
