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.

This park intrigues me too. But It's isn't all that big is it? Didn't someone say there were a number of people out there today?

Yes, Tatergirl just posted that about 1/2 dozen people there.

Tatergirl's noodle:

"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."

Out looking all day at Perry/Schmidt. Great day to be outside. Nice sunrise.

I asked the puck why it wasn't resting in my hand, but it did not respond.

I texted Tim about hazelnut a while ago, but don't know if he went. Maybe he'll report back.

Poems for Valentines day Roses are Red Violets are Blue... would make sense but feels like a stretch

It might make sense if the whole clue is trying to refer to Valentine's Day 60 years ago when the park was founded.

For some Valentine's Day is every day. :sillygrin:

Home from work, caught up on this discussion, need to call my Mom and then we'll head over there to get her honey-do list taken care of. I hope that means we will then be free for the weekend to do some digging, raking, kicking snow, in the right park.

Ittiz Finally Friday!!!!

36 degrees and sunny on Monday. Sure seems like it's bound to be found by early in the week, if not over the weekend....

No user inform…

Does anyone think that triple score provides a clue could be telling us it's "high"land within our park?

I'm going to be taking a quick look around ts tonight, hope to see some of you all there

working.... leaving early tonight.

Do they have wifi at Gabe's?

If it is at TSP then there's this old supperclub place called Lindy's, I'm pretty sure they have a bar.

I believe so...everyone and their brother is on a laptop, pad, or what-have-you

Lindy's is a pretty small place if I recall. And they do have Wifi at Gabe's.

We (me, my sister and bro-in-law- hnts2mch) are going to the Blue Fox, they have WIFI plus they have a band tonight.

We're checking to see if there is a cover charge or not.
