Welcome to the 5th Annual Allison Wonderland Mock Hunt!
The treasure was found just before 9am on Wednesday, March 10th, by Me2. She will get a prize around $290 plus a variety of other goodies. It was found in Marydale Park on the north side in a pit under a tree near lamp post #12.
The wrap up party will be Saturday, March 13th at 8pm at Fabulous Fern's.
Need some help on this one...does cherokee heights road cross cherokee ave....or does CHR end at Baker???
also...isnt' it wieda park that has the "railroad island" or something like that???
What's the name of the railroad that crosses over Maryland (Marydale)?, are there different names for railroads along the same rail lines?
The guide says Eileen Weida park is located "in Railroad Island".
Mapquest says Northern Pacific
Yeah, that's what I thought
Spent my entire dinner time staring at a map trying to figure this out. So far no luck. There are roads that veer off in a different direction, or meet up at a point and become one, but none that really cross themselves.
On my map, the road around Irvine Park isn't named. Anyone know what that is for sure?
Looks like Ryan and Walnut to me.
Those streets go up to the street that goes around the park. But that street bordering the park goes all around the park. Is it Ryan? Walnut? Something else?
Closest thing to a street crossing itself I've found thus far. That why I'm wondering about that.
In the guide it looks like Ryan is on two sides and Walnut on another and then it says dead end street overlooking river but doesn't name it.
I should know better than to put my guide away after the PP hunt. I have a St. Paul map I'm looking at.
Mine stays right here in my desk drawer. And amazingly enough, I haven't misplaced it yet. :) I should be so lucky with my specs!
I keep waiting for a song lyric in a clue. I don't know anything about modern music but I don't see any lyrics in these clues. Anyone else?
I found my specs and an old magnifying glass. So far it's not helping much.
Not me either - but I keep humming the White Rabbit! LOL!!!
I take that back. Ever since Kitch mentioned Eileen Weida Park I've had Come On Eileen running through my mind.
Sorry...
Lakeford Park East and West go around Langford Park and I guess run into each other - there is no real deliniation where one starts and the other begins.
And, while the houses on the park say their address is 93 Langford Park West or something, I don't know what the streets sign say.
Also, it could be a rail road crossing
Or a switch back?
Seems like the meaning of this clue is obvious enough that we should be getting it.
I really like the railroad x-ing idea....i'm still thinking about it...bbl
That's what I'm thinking Terry. It's one of those clues that when it's explained we'll probably go, duh!
This has been floating through my head. Roads that cross are crossroads. Not sure where that might lead, but there is the noodle.
a crossroad like a "turning point" or a "situation point"?? I had the same idea...just not sure how to run with it....
So when one comes to a crossroad in life, there's usually a couple of paths to decide upon and either way, you're life is likely to change.
So with that change in mind, could a crossroads be Annapolis - the line of double division where St. Paul borders West St. Paul and also where Ramsey County borders Dakota county?
something I need to figure out is that alice seen the cat long enough to get a "qoute" but it disappeared again...why??
So we'd have a clue?
maybe just that but I'm wondering if more to it the just the one line...
That traffic island around the fountain at Como, is that Lexington? Does it cross itself when it meets at either end?
I don't know if that's considered Lexington or not. You have to turn into that area and about half way around you can veer off that circle drive into the parking lot by the pavillion.
Hi Reggie. Any ideas?
Across the railroad tracks from McMurray Field is a circle called Cushing Drive and Cushing Circle. Off of Energy Drive.
what about this idea...
I honestly think I got it...
highland park zone 1
edgecumbe road is a parkway ...then it merges on the bridge ..then splits again...makes a X
this is the same zone that has the disc golf...as in the platters...
maybe the TEA box for the disc golf??
but edgecumbe isn't that long there...
The Battle of Lexington could be an important date. Man, I'm stretching here, but just putting down anything and everything I think of. Maybe someone else can make some sense out of it all.
Good noodle, Kitch.
Kitch - I also looked at Edgecumbe...but the magnifier I was using wasn't helping much.
is there any other parkways that merge then split again??
That's where I was going with the split at Lexington around the fountain.
Lexington does that sorta...has no median, then there's a median between University and just before you get to Como Park the median disappears, comes back as you go over the bridge near the trolley station and then becomes a two way street again with a median as it winds through the park.
Actually, that median comes back just after Jessamine goes west on the south side of McMurray field.
Something tells me we're going off in the wrong direction on this clue though. A road that crosses itself might just refer to a road or street name. Something that crosses itself. Arms? Legs? Eyes? What crosses itself?
I don't know, Reg.
I saw a post saying he would be down here tomorrow morning.
I wonder if artemis the huntress is also coming

cross eyes
crossed legs
