It was spelled right, unless in my copy and paste it got corrected magically.

I looked back and it was correct, but I think it was incorrect when Ares copied and pasted it. Maybe he copied it and then Artemis went back and corrected it afterwards.

Clue 1
Its a past marker you'll see
which park where, eventually
but for now just stand tall
knowing it's in our beloved St.Paul.

A square on a circle
and a circle on a square
find both of these
the treasure is there.

Clue 2

Around our coin
there's two big woods
both from California,

and when its hot
you drink alot
of water, not Amonia.

Clue 3

Flashy red neon
in sky blue,
to see more than one
is half the clue.

Clue 4

Kings and Queens control the wealth,
Common sense can save your health.
Eight more clues now have some fun,
Come on ya'll and get you sum.

Noticing too that it says a square ON a circle and a circle ON a square, as opposed to IN. That might imply the circle is on the ground with the square on top of it and vice versa.

From where I hide
you'll see a satellite,
and on the side
bright lights at night.

Cars come and go
but you can't see a lot,
you'll see some flowers
but don't dig in their plot.

Baseball Fields with an Porta Potti in view of a cemetery? Satellite isn't capitalized though.

Makes me think not Kellogg since you can certainly see a lot of cars from there. Unless it means you can't see a parking lot.

I looked back and it was correct, but I think it was incorrect when Ares copied and pasted it. Maybe he copied it and then Artemis went back and corrected it afterwards.

<clarification> Yes this is what happened. Ares pointed out that it was spelled wrong, so I fixed it.

A satellite could refer to a small bathroom, it could be the moon, it could maybe possibly mean a satellite dish.

I like the dish thought because satellite would be capitalized if it were the outhouse. It also looks like there isn't a parking lot in the area. "can't see a lot"

Did you just add that to your earlier post AW? I didn't think I saw that idea before.

Favorite # Joe (317)

Large radio/TV tower visible? It's a stretch. KSTP tower? It has lights at night and the red neon.
The Fair Grounds are off limits right?

I don't think the satellite as in toilets would be capitalized.

It's sort of like Kleenex though...it's a brand name that gets used for all sorts of tissue.

Tue, 08/13/2002 - 7:24 PM Permalink
Clue Master

That's true

Like Band-aid brand bandages

Tue, 08/13/2002 - 7:26 PM Permalink
Terry

For example, the port-a-pot company that most folks use up north uses Do Drop In as the brand name on theirs. Everyone calls them satellites.

Hello- last night the clue writer spoke with a western accent -- Western Pk on Marion? I drove past it and wont get out of my car there-so I hope its not there---

Allison Wonderland

I can't believe the clue would use a porta-potty as it's hard to be sure how long one will remain where it is. If it is a toilet, then it would probably be a small but permanent building.

Also hard to imagine it meaning the moon in that the moon moves quite a bit. But it could be a representation of the moon. Or a picture of a man-made satellite.

So for my noodling today...

I got thinking about the number of clues and thought it interesting that the fourth clue was mentioned by number...and that's the first street that runs parallel to Kellogg moving away from the river. It also runs along one side of Rice Park.

We also looked around some at Prospect Park, drove through Cherokee and Highland and past Kellogg. Didn't make it to Mounds.

You can see that damned red neon #1 from too many parks---BOYD,IRVINE, WESTERN, and my favorite ALICE :)

FYI-I live at 11 -is it in my front yard?

Tue, 08/13/2002 - 7:32 PM Permalink
me2

Or could the western accent mean its on the west side?

I went past Douglas Pk which is on KING

If your 11 is neon, you'll be seeing me later tonight. Please don't call the cops though. I'll be the one wearing the snowmobile suit for nostalgia sake. :)

i'm pretty sure the satellite i used at crosby was a semi-permanent fixture there as i don't recall there being any other restrooms around.

Paul Douglas deals with satellite weather tracking :)

Douglas park-west side

Thats funny Cluemaster-I was just telling Ares that there was something going on at the Science Museum regarding satellites :) just didnt know what-thanks

You're welcome me2. Now I need to go to the bathroom for some reason anyway ;)

me too, cm. probably cuz the coke wants out.

Terry

If this is really a port-a-pot with lots of lights - I can't wait to find that one! Hehehehehe

I tend to think we're being steered to a park without a parking lot. Cars coming and going...satellite...somehow summing numbers...Kings and Queens holding wealth and common sense.

These are good clues for noodling.

I'll check Kellogg too to see if you can see the Science Museum too. BIAB

There is no parking lot at Irvine and you can see the science museum from there too

Parks without lots....Prospect, Kellogg, Mounds, Iris, Irvine, Rice, Mears,
