2012 - Tony Schmidt Park

We really need thumbs up or like buttons on here.

I was thinking Read and Blue, as in the Pioneer Press is "Read" and you can get them from a "Blue" paper box.

Not that there's any paper boxes in parks.

Kind of like Facebook huh? I wish that we could move this discussion to FB, but it doesn't really lend itself to multiple discussion threads.

wait Russel Michael?? I know him and wouldn't trust much of his info lol! he was always more worried about chaceing tail then hunting or learning anything about the Cities! lol

trying to keep many options open a hat trick is in many sports:

A hat-trick or hat trick in sport is the achievement of a positive feat three times during a game, or other achievements based on threes. The term was first used in 1835 in Cricket to describe HH Stephenson's feat of taking three wickets in three balls. A collection was held for Stephenson, and he was presented with a hat bought with the proceeds.[1] The term was used in print for the first time in 1878.[2]

The term was eventually adopted by many other sports including association football, water polo, and team handball, but did not become popular in North America until the mid 1940s (in the National Hockey League and then baseball (three strikeouts or hits)).

In Scrabble, a hat-trick occurs when a player plays three consecutive bingos.

A hat-trick in darts is a score of three consecutive bullseyes,

In marbles, a hat-trick occurs when a player hits all marbles in a single turn.

A natural hat trick is when a player scores three consecutive goals in the same game, uninterrupted by any other scoring.[15]

The NHL record for fastest natural hat trick is 21 seconds, set by Bill Mosienko in 1952 for the Chicago Black Hawks. (Interesting 1952)

Has anyone taken the two "triple" scoring squares on the scrabble boards and tried to input the two word parks to see if any fit. For example; Hidden Falls wouldn't work because none of the letters match for an intersection on the playing board.

Maybe one park will jump out, and maybe, just maybe also give the highest point values available to it's letters.

I'm in a van headed for Bismarck, and have limited computing availability. So, just throwing it out there for others.

I was going to Lock in on that 52 ref. also! lol then I seen that you hit it already!

Mix in scrabble M=3 I=1 X=8

It is really bugging me the theme to me here is scrabble.

If u mix something u scrabble it

The scrabbled clues

great noodle

Heh, every time I read a clue lately, all I get reminded of is that one from Indian Mounds a few years ago, "Look at the buck to acquire good luck" meaning there are deer in indian mounds park.

I don't know, I don't think I can read too much into the first few clues.

"like"

:smile:

Careful out there on your west ward travels. My Uncle just got back from Colorado, long convoys of semi's rolling at 30 mph made the trip miserable and overly tediuos.

I got my park dialed IN!! I think I got it and LA lives close and so does the barsscat!!

 :eek:

This is a fun awesome post.

Now re-read it as if it were not hunt related.... and as if you are OT

(just cause she is a woman and likes the Twins).

too funny -

I found this one a couple of weeks ago and it's my favorite.... you can search by city, types of recreation, has photos, trail maps, etc

Lists all the parks in RC

I'd like a choice - like a thumbs up/cool/with shades face, a seriously? whatever face, and a thumbs down.

3 time Pulitzer prize winner

thumbs up smiley face for brasscat :smile:

Can anyone tell me where I can find that picture of the person running with trees in the background and what looks like a lake?

thanks. couldn't see it on twincities.com

It was Phalen J

geeesh I thought this was hunt related.... nevermind - scratch anything we talked about it last night about then.

nice writing at the top of this thread.

That wasn't written by the pp either was it?

who wrote that?

Its what Goodhue said in his final video message last year me2

There is a tree that looks a lot like it at about 1678 phalen drive east (just south of Larpenteur).

http://www.twincities.com/ci_19782850

I keep playing with Pi 3.14 distance... depending on which site you look at they list the distance of the trail around Phalen as either 3.1 or 3.2.... could this be our 3.14?

I cruised street view all around Phalen before reading your post and came up with the same thought although with the leaves on the trees it's not perfect but works.

I can get street view on my phone but not my puter. What gives? Security settings? I want to do a screen capture but can't on my phone.

Yes that's look like that's the tree (on E shore dr just south of larp) looking from street level it's just left of the two people walking on the path.

See ya Friday!

Could be security settings if yourat work. Dending on your phone if you go to settings while on the page you should be able to bookmark or set a shortcut to your phone

For each one of the clues scrambled and unscrambled there has been a photo associated with it. I think these seem to be general stock winter carnival photos.

I'd have to agree. I can't imagine them giving the park away in a picture associated with the clue's official article page.

Hey, FYI: Jake showered with the medallion in your avatar :eek: :sillygrin: :lipsealed: :goofy:

And I showered with the heart in yours. So? :wink:

Heading out to North Side of Phalen with Lisa for an hour or so. Look us up if your out there.

The Winter Carnival FB site (not the Cooler Crew site) posted a contest:

Trivia question! Winner gets a fleece winter hat and Treasure Hunt button.

In what St. Paul park was the first treasure hidden? (Bonus Question: What was the prize?)

A. Rice Park

B. Merriam Park

C. Highland Park

D. Kellogg Park

Appears they are thinking along the same lines as Cooler Crew Forum posts.

So Would the PP actually post a trivia contest on FB giving away the park??

Answers within 18 minutes of posting:

Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt: wow, you guys are fast. It was indeed Highland Park so Lizzie McNamara gets the first prize.

Will give the second prize to John Storm. It was a $1000 prize plus an extra $100 if you were wearing a Carnival button.

You can pick the prizes up from our front desk at 345 Cedar during business hours. Look for another question tomorrow. :smile:

That might get me to finally join Facebook if they give a grand for knowing that.

Guess I have to keep an eye out for their posts now...

I think the clue writer is flopping out a lot more red herrings since

the addition of FB, twitter, etc.
