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.

A small park would work if you can divert the hunters to an other park.

well, you got twice that you can prove, but with the new one, i'd believe that last statement will prove to be rather true for the next few years regardless of song choice :smile:

perry park in arden hills has brighton way ("brighten your way") adjacent to the park

Assuming it's not BC, I would look at the first two lines like "Let us stop" pointing you there and get you on the right track... like they know how many signs were pointing in that direction, but they want you to reassess everything.

And I completely agree with the "As you like it" reference... it sounds to me like it's pointing to Shakespeare and "Arden" Hills.. which would also tie in with the red & blue being the "purple" for the Vikings as was already mentioned.

Makes you think, although I definitely can't toss out BC yet as everything can be made to fit there also (even this clue, for the most part).

Wait. Maybe it's the sleep depravation or the beer I drank tonight, but how do we go from As you like it to Arden Hills?
