maybe he should try to tape some Snickers on it to satisfy his....um yeah nevermind :sillygrin: :eek:

Clue #3

Misery'd prevail, if ye try to set sail

And the previous clue:
Clue #2
The Chinook wind blows, and the gray sky snows
As weary pirates seek shelter from the storm
Just how much treasure will make yer pleasure?
Thar's a lot nearby but it shan't make ye warm
Clue #1
Thar's stories told thar's pirate's gold
Stolen from ye olde martyr's stock.
To make yer haul, go search St. Paul
You'll find the key is in the lock.
Remember, you have until the release of the 4th clue to become a
registered hunter.
If you put ye olde martyr's stock to a google search, the first listing is St. Albans. Down just a couple more listings is Wikipedia - St Albans again.
There are three parks that St. Albans is a bordering street. They are Carty Park in the Summit-University area, W. Minnehaha and North Dale.
Because we were in the area last evening, we went around North Dale and as we came to the front of the building...well see for yourselves...
Right in front of that window is a play area/tot lot.
Just to the north of the door is the parking lot.
Thar's a lot nearby but it shan't make ye warm
So we did do a little snooping around, but our time was limited.
There are tennis courts with a sign that says "Raymond A. Bissonette Tennis Courts".
Who the heck is Raymond A. Bissonette?
The only other thing that would sorta fit there now is if the Alan Shepard 14 thing could be construed as the address....1414 St. Albans.
One article is from the 10/5/56 Duluth News-Tribune, and is about his retirement from the grain business. The other thing is a copy of his obituary from the 2/6/63 Duluth Herald.
I don't think that can be the right one because unless this Mr. Bissonette worked for what is now Cenex-Harvest States that would have then been the Farmer's Union Grain Terminal Assn. at Larpenteur and Snelling, the connection from Duluth to the north end of St. Paul is a stretch.
The other thing that I thought might be a connection is that Ar lington is one of the other bordering streets.
And Cottage runs into the park (a shelter that isn't one in this instance.)
And I think the frogpond looks pretty good.
Richard Shepard
Sam Shepard
Those are both film producers/directors sorts. I can't find any movie that either have done that make sense yet.
I imagine I'll be dreaming of catching flies.
where are these at?
 :goofy:
:wink:
You think its his style to put it in two parks so close to each other in consecutive years?
at first thought I thought of a telescope.
but stars could be "hollywood types"
And whilst navigating stay ever alert
coffee shop?
I'm guessing anagram
This year the clue writer is a pirate.
Definately a new clue writer.
