Is that your best theory? :-P

NO- how about if a wood chuck checks wood he would become a Checker or no longer a woodchuck but a woodcheck.

CHECKWOOD

How much wood? A lot of wood = parking lot or wooded lot

or just look near the WOODS

somewhere in the map book I read about 4 picnic tables with chess boards built in? I can't seem to find it again? anyone help with that?

That was Iris. But I'll give you a hint. The last time I was in iris, those tables were gone.

So who's been out hunting? Apparently Jake was out today doing some pretty heavy searching. Apparently to no avail yet though. Nor has anyone else called to say they've found it yet. Clue #5 at 6pm.

Just in case it wasn't obvious, I thought maybe I should officially mention that it's not hidden on a golf course, nor in Como Zoo, and since it's not in Como, that pretty much leaves Como out.

Well it's almost time for clue #5.

There doesn't seem to be much of an audience tonight. Well, I guess this one is looking at you Kids.

Clue #5

Where the treasure doth dwell, only time will tell
Though it might appear that time stands still.
For when you see a train that does not move or gain
Then have this treasure hunt in hand you will.

And the previous clues:

Clue #4

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

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

train that does not move or gain

Thank God you said it wasn't at Como. That little bit of info might of saved you my friend.

Off the cuff thoughts: apple, Rush, energy park, broken (or fake) clock, picture of a train (sign)...

Wait, did I say it wasn't at Como? Maybe I meant it was at Como...

nothin much. she's off getting her hubby from work. or at least she was when she had to hang up because he came walking out of the place :)

I think it's hidden in a little model train of some sorts and we're gonna see that in the woods somewhere to find such a small coin.
plus it states that "this treasure hunt in hand you will" OR
how 'bout dictionary.com --train -- "A part of a gown that trails behind the wearer"
wrapped up in something like this?

OR (stretching on this one)
maybe we're supposed to look for historical marker --
dictionary.com -- train "An orderly succession of related events or thoughts; a sequence" I like the 1st or 2nd one myself. like a timeline.?
anyone else ??

This train of thought is moving way too fast for me! ;-) But it may get stuck on something and stand still.
