nah, I gather it's just a flag wrapped in plastic. So most likely on the ground.

I might have to look at my old street car lines map... Then again that might be a stretch anyway....

Who do you think is their audience for this hunt?

Medallion hunters or Wild fans?

Does it say anything about it has to be on the ground? Looking under every nook makes me wonder if its stuck under something.

Medallion hunters or Wild fans?

Medallion hunters.....

well...IMHO I really think the audience is 13-16 year old boys......Can you imagine how fun that would be to have Thirty 13 boys in a suite? (if that you was that age)

My guess is that it's an appeal to both. Have to have hockey references in there to appeal to the hockey fans, make it relevant. Have to make it hard enough for the medallion hunters that will hunt for a needle in a haystack if you write enough clues for it.

it'd surprise me if it was found in a park that's not associated with hokey in some fashion (ie a rink, name, etc.)

I'm also wondering if the clue writer tried to be "CUTE" and place it in an area that looks like the logo...

talked to Jake - paper releases at 11:30 tonight.

the more I read the clues the more parks that end up on my list that originally had 3 parks! uuuuuhhhhh Highland, Como and Rice

now add Prospect, Harriet Island, Mears and even Mounds!

hey I was thinking of you today Ian. I was in Highland near where we first met. Remember that Jake was just gonna leave me in the park with you (a stranger at the time) at about midnight!

I am leaving work now- gonna do a couple drive bys before heading home. The only park anyone has asked about here in months has been Crosby or BC. Lots of questions on Union Depot and Landmark Center in general.

about ready to leave work, and I can't settle on a park to go look at...

Eh, maybe I'll wait for tomorrow's clue.

the plan was to appease the wild hockey fans who are mad that they didnt play last year and that they are the only franshise to NOT lower ticket prices. also they are going to fall quite short of the salary cap and are proving to be cheap bastards. the state of hockey flag day promotion is just ridiculous and isn't going to make anyone happier about the state of affairs, although I do like this hunt!

sorry Kitch-

um, its raining- I am meeting Jake at 11:30 down at the pp - I just plan to come back and post it. You or Ian may get it faster online though. Its the fun of going down there though. I rarely miss a night at the pp. Get an early start tomorrow. If I don't see you tonight call me in the morning.

Hhhmmmm

Is that the target market for hockey?


Timmers?



I wouldn't know. I can't stand hockey. I'd rather watch golf. They're both about the same pace, but at least golf has some pretty greenery.


The above post is for Timmers, my favorite hockey meat-head.

I was busy all day but did manage to get to Como. I checked out the Beula (?) area...old trolley span and old paths in either direction. Also the old trolley station and nearby trolley bridges off Horton. And I checked out the new ped walkway under the rr tracks off Jessamine. Nada. I wondered if the red/green could be a Nut Goodie wrapper???

Seems like they're pointing to Como or Phalen...

One is right, the other wrong, perhaps that's where deke comes in...
