2013 - Cherokee Heights Park

nothing formal, but many posted their predictions in this thread in the weeks leading up to the hunt....

thank god I read wiki before Newell was added

I get the mashed rice / crashed ice... I don't care for yellow / redbull

And if you guys saw what I posted yesterday on that reporter who was curiously in Crosby 11 days ago. He also wrote a article about the Crashed Ice event :pbpt:

One more thought. Red bull cans are small. Could they have glued it to the bottom of a red bull can? Would make sense if they changed the "shape" or "size"

I dont know if Eags mentioned this but I like the idea that this is play a round....of golf

Soooo Linwood park?

Ok dumb observation. Anyone notice a repeat in format in the clue paragraphs? First two clues-8 lines. Next 2 clues- 4 lines?

Elmer Rice wrote the adaptation for "Holiday Inn".

haha I thought your tagline was a Match.com or newspaper want ad pick up line: Desperately seeking man with medallion in hand

I have a hunch that Im gonna check out on my lunch hour

Mahatma ... saffron yellow rice

im just mad about saffron,

shes just mad about me...

they call me

MELLOW YELLOW!

for a song?

Maybe in mellow yellow container? I thinks this is a what its in clue and well all go crazy for nothing till after the explanations come out...

"...That's right!"

Sense of community; having fun with my kids; good humor with the board posts; sense of tradition; pride of coming from St. Paul.

that's right!

Seems like they left off the "HI" in treasure hunt story... history? HI land?

Nothing metal. more likely some sort of cardboard of red bull.

I knew saffron/yellow sounded familiar! That's why. Thanks....

Any Donovan streets?

agree. unless the tin can is a ...wait for it....red herring. Note RED bull and RED herring.

I thought I saw it on both PP boards last night. And I know it is on FB, but it is a little burried.

Anyway, this is a pretty fun clue for just "what it's in". And, if that is true, what it is in would have to be from the Crashed Ice event, not just a Red Bull thing.

ahh yes that's right! Well a 4 pk does come in a box! :grin: Or maybe some sort of crashed ice souvenir.

Interesting thoughts here: http://blogs.twincities.com/treasurehunt/forums/topic/yellow-mashed-rice/

They have a point. They couldn't do any better than yellow for red bull?

You can get larger red bull cans as well. Although, the "failed" medallion looked pretty small....

I do like the "crashed ice" rhyme, but can't think of what help it might be beyond the container.

If it's an anagram, "yellow mashed rice" does anagram to "homer is a clew". But there are 3 leftover letters--y, e, d. Homer St. runs into Crosby Farm.

Here's a new thought: Could you spot a lot of the references we're talking about from the lookout at Cherokee Heights? It has plenty of ups and downs. Is south of(below) the Crashed Ice course. Maybe you can even see Crosby from up there?

The only time Yellow = Red is a stop light

Yellow Mashed Rice = Saffron Rice

Looking of a 'rhyme' in 'time' -- sorry but I'm still stuck on "Thyme" and it's ties to Saffron - it's TOO simple a connection to deny

-- How it would tie into a location yet I'm stumped - it could be one of those obscure references to an Italian restaurant nearby that serves Risotto

You could maybe spot the Holiday Inn from Cherokee, too?

Well homer ice days.

The holiday inn by 3M? Nope, too far and too much of a hill to see there.

I do like your idea of being able to see the crashed ice course from there. I've been looking on maps to see if Crosby is visible from any vantage points there, but that's a lot tougher...

Quick noodle I had over night. COuld the winter not summer thing be teaching?

I think you can see 3m from cherokee, not sure about the holiday inn

I'm afraid we're going to have another incident similar to the "green doughnut". If this puck is hidden in Red Bull, remember, Red Bull has wings! I'd hate for it to take off before we can snag it :sad:

I know I can see most of downtown from the upper floors of the 3M building, however, mostly only the taller buildings. None of the bridges or the river.

I might be able to see some of the bluffs on the other side.

can only see the capital from boyd. from irvine i can see a lot but of course they take seconds to scout out. the crashed ice event will have several streets cut off, which everyone knows.

LOL! :sillygrin:

it would be really cool if the clue alluded to my aunts restaurant and motel which used to be the "sun and snow" motel and the "4 seasons" restaurant on montreal and w7th, eh? :smile:

Different Holiday Inn 3M

I'm assuming this clue is saying that you need to be in a park where you can see the Crashed Ice event, or at least the Cathedral. So maybe Harriet Island, Cherokee, Mounds, or Upper Landing. Or maybe it's not in a park. Perhaps it's on John Ireland Blvd. or something.

I think it's at a park because of this:

"Grab your honey, park and sit."

Anybody seen Zephy?

Good news! I was married on that train, in the Dome car. Hated to see it auctioned off.

The Samuel H. Morgan Regional Trail begins in this segment and takes you into downtown Saint Paul, passing historic sights like the Island Station Power Plant that was built in the 1920s and the 6-story St. Paul Municipal Grain Elevator, built in 1931.

Thus, this Morgan Trail that you can walk, goes into downtown (Crushed Ice) and goes past the Grain Elevator (yellow rice?); who was Sam Morgan>?
