2012 - Tony Schmidt Park

Submitted by ares on
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.

Thanks. That's a big park. Makes sense with the snow cover.

I thought Boxmeyer right away too... I think it's telling us, NOT to look in the years that Box wrote clues. Look "outside" of the box.

But perhaps to find that "lore" of treasure hunt past, we need to look in clues older?

TS playground is not red and blue. Just left there for some lunch. Mostly green and yellow.

BTW, if the Rome clue references the Viking, then what does red and blue mean (with regard to Tony Schmidt)?

I had a epiphany last night sitting in my law class.

When you 'book' someone in jail, the term 'book' is the reference of 'to make an account' not necessarily a 'bet' but just an account of womething that is happening.

on which to make book - on which to make an account for future reference.

I do think St Paul is very protective of Harriet Island and won't risk the digging and destruction of a Hunt there.

Red and Blue make purple, Vikings are Purple, Vikings want to build in Arden Hills, etc.

The snow is coming down here in the north metro! Must be getting close to a half inch already!

Red and blue equals purple. Another Vikings reference I assume. Otherwise I am sure in a park that big, there must be red and blue somewhere. Could also refer to what it is hidden in.

Unless the 7th clue screams out a place to go look, I'm not heading out tonight. I'll save my energy for looking in the morning.

I get that red and blue make purple = Vikings. But, then what does Rome equal? Two references to the Vikings? - One of which is word play on an insignificant player's name?

Yeah, I got nothing there, unless you think Romans build stadiums as an activity. I read that as telling you it's outside the city, as in foreign territory.

According to surveys, almost 75 percent of pre-adolescent children prefer purple to all other colors. Purple is a very rare color in nature; some people consider it to be artificial.

Besides, the last episode of Chuck is on tonight, And I want to watch it live. Going to miss that show. It almost made me want to get a job at best buy, if not for the low pay, bad benefits, and having to dumb my computer knowledge down to fit their skillset (no offence to anyone that might work there).

I am taking a break in the Blue fox tavern on red fox road. IT is very helpful to get out of the snow

BTW, I was up on the 11th floor of Building 220 this morning (the big 3M building you can see from Battle Creek). Here are a few pictures of the park as you can see if from there.

I had to work late again last night so no diggy for me today :angry:

Tater gets crabby with no sleepy.

I did a couple of drive bys last night on my way home. Interestingly no one at Tony Schmidt (that I could see from the road). No cars at Charles Perry park -that one is surrounded by TSP. BUT there were about a 1/2 dozen or so people at Hazlenut park at 3:30 am. The playground equipt there is Red and Blue, Trinity Church (triple score) is next door, hockey rink, baseball diamond (gem), tracking (just south of train track, New brighton blvd (brighten) - two reference to nut in clues. According to some maps it is shaped like a slice of pie - pipress.

One thing I noted at night was all the radio towers with red blinking lights surrounding that whole area at least 6-7. Plus a lot of lakes and ponds ... could be our red and blue reference for TSP or CPP.

Does anyone think of a viable alternative way for using "There's a place to cook"? Other than the obvious firepit/grill. Please think outside of the box for me.
