Submitted by Clue Master on

Did we learn anything new with this clue? The wording sounds kinda funny, like maybe it's hiding an anagram or something.

It's the same that's posted on the PP boards. So some where by the brewery on flat ground. Basically where we were mainly looking already. feels good to be right...

Now to laugh as the asshats on the PP boards.

Guys - I swear - that same Stupid "Lone Oak" that is on that photo - exactly 67 paces west from that tree puts you in the middle of a 40x40 foot patch of LEVEL GROUND on top of that small rise - it's been dug partially but I swear it is up there!

Well since this really does nothing for be but tell me again it's at Swede and i'm far to sick to be hunting, I'm off to bed. I'll see you kids tomorrow some time. Don't find that medallion without me!

Beasts exposed was the clue that kept me downtown around Xcel and the Science Museum. I interpreted it to mean the dinosaur skeletons in the Science Museum.

But I had fun and saw a lot of carnival activity I wouldn't ordinarily see. All and all I'm happy. Now someone go find it.

Just keep in mind all that hard-packed snow that makes up those foot paths on that hill HAVE NOT BEEN DUG UP YET - I almost guarantee we've been walking over the top of the thing a hundred times.

That's a good bet that it's been completely trampled and packed down. I foresee alot of broke hoes... errr... yeah

Geez I'm tempted to cut and run - skip work tomorrow. Problem is all my long johns and warm sweatshirts are still in the dryer and probably won't be done until after midnight. I ain't going out there with wet layers on.

Hmmm...I'm tempted to go out but have a hunch that it will prolly still be there tomorrow

In the midst seekers should vie

What is the "vie" seekers should do in the middle of Swede. It says seekers SHOULD do this vie.

Midst = middle - so in the middle of the flat area near the creek

Middle of the park?

I agree.

I was up on the little bluff between the creek and

old RR right-of-way this afternoon. Bring a hoe or a shovel.

there's a lot of chopping to do.

I'm calling it out right now - X marks the spot - at the top of that small bluff - it's an area about 40x40 feet of LEVEL ground. It WILL be found tonight.

I guess I can go watch tonight's episode of The Bachelor that I taped when I went out now. :pbpt: Not much to noodle.

Did I mention Nina Clifford's real name was Hannah Steinbrecher and her brothel was located under what is now the Science Museum parking ramp? :confused:

There is a lot more level ground than that, and it says seek the middle. It could mean the middle of the park. That would make sense with the north star references

Now look down from that X to that white mark. What is it> Probably covered up by snow. Is it a historical mark? salt lick? Nothing?

The area between 2 and 3 on MD's map is fairly flat and has alot of small shrub trees. Packed snow near the trail. I saw people totally digging up a flat rise near the "X", but I don't recall what the "X" spot itself looked like yesterday. I bet it's not too close to the creek, for safety.
