2012 - Tony Schmidt Park

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.

lol....depending on how the words are grouped, the meaning totally changes. In St Paul, out of St Paul...

Sure helps the hour pass while one is waiting for the real clue :grin:

..sort it out...

I sure wish I could stay up and really noodle this, but with the variations, the actual clue could prove an hours worth of noodling not very productive.

I have another early morning tomorrow and I have a headache so I'm heading for the bed.

geez this is bloody insane. although i'm leaning towards incorporate thinking outside the box because incorporate doesn't go well with anything else.

are there even patterns to these scrambled clues any more or is it just random?

although......

incorporate thinking outside te box could bloody well be a reference to thinking outside the box and immediately repeating battle creek.

Just getting home after the girls hockey game and senior night potluck festivities....I like the unscrambles that I've seen so far -- this one is too hard I think to *guess* at which way the words go. For my comfort level anyway.

Will just have to stick it out another half hour or so at this point to see what the "official" clue brings. I am in for the evening tonight anyway...

what would be outside the box ... maybe a small park, a park outside st paul, or a park its never been at before, or at the same park two years in a row?

well that narrows it down. :confused:

no, i took a cue from the pp and didn't put punctuation in there, i was trying to get at "haw and hem" are the end of one line of the clue and gem was the end of another for rhyming.

Or it could be at a park where there is no fake medallions at.

I thought of Boxmeyer right away.....treasure hunt clues and "Box" and all. But I don't know what kind of reference that would mean for us as hunters.
