2012 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt - Tony Schmidt Park
2012 Clues 

So its back to the drawing board for next year 
to find a spot so deep and drear. 
Harder to reach all you whiners 
than those buried Chilean miners. 

Next year's clues will inspire dread 
requiring knowledge of languages dead, 
Higher math rocket science 
disbanding every hunters alliance. 

I take your leave. I bid adieu. 
I go in search of the perfect clue. 
Prepare to hike hard dig deep and delve. 
Will have a grand party in 2012.

Too cooler! Many of the crew are also into geocaching. The find was a legit cache, just not the WC medallion.

King Boreas is an alias of Ian who probably did hide it.

interfacial:

The noun interface has been around since the 1880s, meaning "a surface forming a common boundary, as between bodies or regions."

Called it since a week before the hunt :pbpt:

or lexington dividing the lake part of como from the "park" portion, mcknight and larpenteur dividing the st paul and maplewood portions of bc and phalen.

BC ? St. Paul MPLWood. Battle Creek- Indian Mounds? Is it my overlook??
Mon, 01/23/2012 - 8:45 PM Permalink

Interfacial could be like Como that connects runs into the Lake on the east, and then bisects the park and continues west past the southern portion of the fairgrounds.

Interesting word with too many meanings.

I am going to head to bed. I'm done in.

I look forward to catching all the noodles in the morning.

interfacial road could be a road that marks a boundary as well
Mon, 01/23/2012 - 8:47 PM Permalink
New Daddy

so we can narrow it down to

BC, highland, como, hidden falls, merrium, phalen keller, toney schmidt, and any other park with a road running through it, or by it if it connects to something else..

Most likely it does narrow this down to a park with a grill.

This could be way out here, but here is what I found online for Interfacial:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_layer_(interfacial)

Now I will say, in one particular park I did find something that amounts to "3's" a place for cooking and leisure as well.

To get out tonight or not...I can't decide!!!

excavating stud

anyway I look at this, the clue seems to be pointing to a big park

maybe crosby, which runs along shepard/warner which could be considered interfacial

Interfacial also refers to computers.

I agree! Too many possibilities.

The puck is wrapped in a nut goodie wrapper, inside a croceted treasure chest, and tucked inside a scrabble tile pouch. :pbpt:

Since it's the 60th year... and we're suppose to "mix treasure lore" into our quest...and they've been looking back with previous finders etc.... I think they're going to throw alot of old tricks in this year.

Shepard, as in alan shepard the first american in space, could that be considered interfacial (earth to space)?

A strict definition of interfacial would actually imply Battle Creek as it implies two different things meeting. So rather than just being a road that intersects the park, it would be more like a road forming the boundary between St. Paul and Maplewood. I guess that would work for Phalen as well. Como is a couple of blocks from Larpenteur.

Could be a fire pit...

That is the top spot on my list, and where I was looking today. Not sold on it, but most likely that will be the first place I'll look tom.

Something not right with this Clue! it just doesn't sit RIGHT!! I think there is a Anagram in there with the line!

A road there is that's interfacial

It just doesn't flow right!

and the nut goodie in treasure hunt lore would definitely put it in battle creek.
