Robert St., Dale St., Wabasha, High Bridge, there's a foot bridge over Montreal in Highland, there's also some bridges around Mounds, there's all sorts of bridges spanning the freeway system, bridge over troubled waters, there's bridging in Girl Scouts, there's the bridge over Robert St as you pass Concord, I believe that there are some or at least one little foot bridge around the path that brings you around Loeb Lake, and then there are those at Como - but we're not going there!
Navy/Raspberry Island has Robert, Wabasha and the bridge leading to the island itself. I know he was a little scared when he was looking on the Wabasha/Freedom bridge for the medallion when we thought it was at HI. He would then consider the bridge itself to be hazardous. Have any of you walked up to the top of that bridge from the island? I actually had to walk back down after getting only 1/2 way up because the steps and the landings are made with small vertical steel support that lets you see straight down to the river below. Can anyone confirm if this is scary or not since I'm afraid of heights anyway?
i won't volunteer myself to do it, cm. i get just as freaked out by that sort of construction. not so mugh the heights, but the seemingly flimsiness of the while thing.
we'll see where tonights clue leads us. I'm sure the kids & myself will go out hunting and yes ares I knew that you were kidding about stalking! I was only havin' fun w/ya.
absolutely true statement! that's what makes this such a sickness of a past time! It wouldn't be as fun if you just went right to the prize everytime. It's the 20/20 hind sight @ release of clue explanation and all the speculation during the hunt. so far so awesome AW nice job on teasing us again.
How much wood do you think a woodchuck could Check if a woodchuck could check wood? Though a woodchuck could, doesn’t mean a woodchuck would, But if it would and it could it should
And the previous clues:
Clue #3
The game of Gin won't help you win And in Poker, no one sits in the north Instead set your aim, by sighting this game And you may need to go look for a fourth.
Clue #2
While taking a look around, you'll see hazards abound And thus safety and common sense are important details Troubling I think it would be, if I should happen to see Legions of hunters wandering too far from the trails.
Might it be true, you'd like another clue? Solve then if you will my funny little riddle. How would you go? You'd drive to the park, no? Right you would be if you first look for the middle.
Clue #1
Because St. Paul is the place, flowing with heaps of park space, You may consider it smart to work together in pairs. For two heads keep better pace seeking out a treasure's hidden place Or then again one person alone may spot the fourteen squares.

looks like the bridge is lined up or keep site of the BRIDGE and then look for a sign or something with 4th on it.
sighting this bridge -may need to go look for a fourth -fourth bridge? and if you have to go look for it-it is probly around the river bend?
bets are made on the number of tricks each side will win
so were looking for a place with hookers? ;) hee hee

Can you just imagine that AW put afixed the coin to someones dentures/bridge :)
that would be funny but a little gross! :)
oh that'd be nasty. something with 4th on it? 4th street perhaps?
I am sure fourth just rhymes with North and north is in Bridge but why didn't he capitalize North? I thought it was capitalized...hmmm
ok-lets go this way with the clue...
BRIDGE = ark / arc = Arlington/ ARKwright
notice the AIM in the clue and the thought of archery
AIM = ARCHERY = ARC/ark = Arkwright

5 : degree measurement on the circumference of a circle -- used especially in the phrase of arc

but why didn't he capitalize North?
I believe that the direction of north isn't capitalized while the place is. Not sure tho
So bridges....
Robert St., Dale St., Wabasha, High Bridge, there's a foot bridge over Montreal in Highland, there's also some bridges around Mounds, there's all sorts of bridges spanning the freeway system, bridge over troubled waters, there's bridging in Girl Scouts, there's the bridge over Robert St as you pass Concord, I believe that there are some or at least one little foot bridge around the path that brings you around Loeb Lake, and then there are those at Como - but we're not going there!
trying to find all them too- geesh- lots and lots of them...
how would you get there? middle == besides The MIDway --maybe HALFway?
I like Midway best though
over troubled waters? lol ;)
How about a street name with the word Bridge in it
Navy/Raspberry Island has Robert, Wabasha and the bridge leading to the island itself. I know he was a little scared when he was looking on the Wabasha/Freedom bridge for the medallion when we thought it was at HI. He would then consider the bridge itself to be hazardous. Have any of you walked up to the top of that bridge from the island? I actually had to walk back down after getting only 1/2 way up because the steps and the landings are made with small vertical steel support that lets you see straight down to the river below. Can anyone confirm if this is scary or not since I'm afraid of heights anyway?
Aim = AMES ST.
What is the FOURTH for? any guesses?
Should only find 3 bridges and not 4? Which would rule out HI, NI, IM, CP at least.
i won't volunteer myself to do it, cm. i get just as freaked out by that sort of construction. not so mugh the heights, but the seemingly flimsiness of the while thing.
Phalen!

Oh, come on. Comment!
The only other 4 player card game I can think of is 500 (not rummy the other one), but I don't know what that would mean much, unless its an address.
ARES QUEER OF NUTS
Yea, that's it!
Now that was funny.
ARES QUEEN OF RUST
I like this one ;-)
Are they not squares!!
Ooh Ooh Ooh where'd ya get that? where is it? HI, Hi, or High?

The 14 squares may not be all together in one spot
what was it again? Duplicate Bridge? for the game of Bridge
what about Robert St and Wabasha St. hense = KELLOGG
Just not giving up on Mounds, are you East Side? You'll fit it into one of these hunts sooner or later.
It seems no one has found it yet. Just under 5 hours until Clue #4.
we'll see where tonights clue leads us.
I'm sure the kids & myself will go out hunting and yes ares I knew that you were kidding about stalking! I was only havin' fun w/ya.
Perhaps the clues lead you only where you want to be led?
Its not in Como = con it motions
Sit ton mooc.
absolutely true statement!
that's what makes this such a sickness of a past time!
It wouldn't be as fun if you just went right to the prize everytime. It's the 20/20 hind sight @ release of clue explanation and all the speculation during the hunt.
so far so awesome AW nice job on teasing us again.
Well nothing that obscure I don't think.
So is everyone out looking? Seems so quiet around here today.
Well I see a few people gathering for the clue...
You'd think we'd have more people posting just in order to get this upcoming 300.
Yeah, well while people are posting for 300, I'll look for the treasure.
Well it's almost time. Loading up the screens, getting ready to fire.
