I dated a guy once that had part of the creek run through the property that his grandparents owned. Beautiful place. They donated that spot to the Church when they died.
its actually lafayette road. what i'm trying to figure out is how does one follow 52 if that's what you desire to do. its not like it explicitly ends anywhere, at least not anywhere it says that it does. and there's no signs as to where to go to follow it. i'm just trying to figure out the routing of the highway is all.
Don't you love noodling all this?!?! It's so much fun tearing everything apart, coming up with all possible solutions, throwing out all that don't feel right and then in the end knowing that clue #1 says it's in a St. Paul park.
I'm hoping that AW gives us a bit more credit than that. He doesn't really need to be PC about the ease of the clues since it's pretty much for us CC and we're past the one line explanations. Plus he knows we need a bad fix after this years PP clues.
As a general rule, pavement for the use of motorized vehicles have Avenue designations if they run east and west and Street designations if they run north and south.
So maybe the NO Streets would be an exception to this rule.
Haplo-This thread is deciphering clues to lead us to find a medallion, that's hidden in a park in St Paul. The first 2 clues and rules are posted earlier on the board. New clues come out at 7 PM each night fot 12 clues total.
For what they're worth, here are some other thoughts on "changing your tune" from "I still haven't found what i'm looking for," which is a song on both Rattle & Hum and The Joshua Tree.
Other songs from Rattle & Hum with possible significance.
"Helter Skelter" lyrics: "When you get to the bottom, You go back to the top of the slide. And you stop and you turn And you go for a ride. Till you get to the bottom. Then you see me again." Pinpointing the location, i.e. visible from the bottom of a slide?
"Hawkman 269": 269 is an address nearby?
"All Along the Watchtower": again, pinpointing a location?
"Heartland" lyrics mention “Mississippi" and "66 the highway that speaks." But, there is no Hwy 66 that I've found.
“All I want is you” lyrics: “You say you'll give me a highway. With no one on it. Treasure just to look upon it." Where's a highway with no one on it?
Songs from The Joshua Tree:
“One Tree Hill” lyrics: “scars carved into stone on the face of the earth” (carvings on a bluff?) & “it runs like a river into the sea” (the Mississippi?).
“Running to Stand Still” lyrics – “I see 7 towers.” No explanation needed.
“Trip through your wires” lyrics– “there’s no more water in the well.” An old well pinpointing the location?
Our 5 year old daughter climbed into bed with us thismorning and as I woke up I was talking about snow being too deep and searching (I thought I was talking about something related to Whitney's day) and my husband just started laughing and said I was dreaming of this hunt!
I really don't remember the park...the night before in my dream I saw a lot of people gathered at a park (with snow) some people on bleachers near a park bldg., there was a, like, profound music playing...I woke up (at about 3 in the morning) to the Canadians receiving their gold medals (a repeat from earlier that night) as their flag is raised to the Oh' Canada song.

Well, we know it's not in Little Canada!
I think AW's spying on us. I saw him on the toolbar a minute ago.
Like Chocolate Medallions...I only have 1 left! Where can I get more Ian?
This can only be a bad habit if we make it...like coming back last night after putting kids to bed...geesh...I held back but I am hear today (note from 3-6:55 I will NOT be here).
Good idea Rush.
Ares - There is a north 52 after 7th? 35E?
SCD's & MCL both of you
Goodnight Rush!
I dated a guy once that had part of the creek run through the property that his grandparents owned. Beautiful place. They donated that spot to the Church when they died.
yeah, rush it actually makes its way to 94 out in the western part of the state.
Nite Ares, Rush- Scd's
As far as I can tell, 52 turns into John St N of 7th, Maybe thats a different 52 .
its actually lafayette road. what i'm trying to figure out is how does one follow 52 if that's what you desire to do. its not like it explicitly ends anywhere, at least not anywhere it says that it does. and there's no signs as to where to go to follow it. i'm just trying to figure out the routing of the highway is all.
How about Blvd's?
The song says 'The streets have no names' but Blvd's, Way's, Rd's, Ct's, Hwy's Etc.. do
good observation, cm, that'd push towards one of the larger parks.
ok i'm really off now.
Don't you love noodling all this?!?! It's so much fun tearing everything apart, coming up with all possible solutions, throwing out all that don't feel right and then in the end knowing that clue #1 says it's in a St. Paul park.
If this were the PP hunt Clue #1 would just say it's in a St. Paul park. But this is the Mock Hunt. Mwah ha ha ha.
I'm hoping that AW gives us a bit more credit than that. He doesn't really need to be PC about the ease of the clues since it's pretty much for us CC and we're past the one line explanations. Plus he knows we need a bad fix after this years PP clues.
you answered that before I did AW
Well one amongst us today didn't catch the St. Paul Park thing. :-)
And I was talking in generalities...not specific to this hunt and these clues.
OH MY GOD!! It's in St. Paul Park?? I'll have my friend in Cottage Grove pop next door to give us live updates. ;)
We Must Crack The Code!
I love this!!!!!
Here's another noodle...
As a general rule, pavement for the use of motorized vehicles have Avenue designations if they run east and west and Street designations if they run north and south.
So maybe the NO Streets would be an exception to this rule.
It's that time...
time to sleep...
time to dream...
time to plan how we're going to spend the prize money!
Goodnight, SCDs and MCL to coolerheads everywhere!
Would that mean a North/South Street or not a North/South Street?
Night Terry! SCD's and MCL! Dream the answers!

I like the Helter Skelter reference Dal, good noodling!
not just any slide, a twisty slide. anyone know what street ramsey county 66 is?
anyone know what street ramsey county 66 is?
No. I searched on some mapping sites, but couldn't find one. Are the county streets originally numbered and then named later?
Mornin all!
Good noodling there dal.
Looks like I'm going to be looking in a lot of parks tonight to find it before the 3rd clue!
Right!
Looks like its going to be raining too!
So you still think your park is it.
dunno, dal. but the county spent a lot of money last year putting up new signage as to which county highways were which.
Mine still looks ok at this point.But all of them do I guess.Are you guys going out searchingtonight?
still being bugged by sun being capitalised marley?
So you still think your park is it.
I have to! But, I'm starting to get other ideas . . . .
Goodmorning :)
::stretch::
It's at Como!
Maybe my So. St Anthony premonition for the Winter Carnival Hunt was supposed to be for the Mock Hunt!
Dal could be right!
If that is the case though than I better seek professional help for these premonitions OR start learning how to listen to them more clear.
Dal could be right!
As much as I would like to believe it, I doubt it! :)

no, me2, you want the premonitions to go away completely!
Of course I'm spying on you.
we need a bad fix

Oh..does that make me carnivorous or a canibal? Chocolate eating chocolate?

or something. :)
Actually you would be a cannibal for eating one of your own kind, but you wouldn't be a carnivore because your kind is not made of meat.
