this one i'd like to find someday

I searched under "minnesota twins golden ticket winners". I was looking to see if I could find what parks it had been in and that was the first address I got. I didn't find what I was looking for though.

2008 Twins Golden Ticket Clue #1:

The ticket rests a ways

away from our covered home,

in a place of open space where

squirrels and rabbits roam.

I know it's in IM, it has squirrels and rabbits, how obvious! :eyeroll:

no it isn't :pbpt: Indian Mounds has deer, not squirrels and rabits :pbpt:

Clue #2

When you watch our boys play,

hustling you'll see,

however you'll want to ignore,

Mr. Greeley's plea.

Yay! It's in St. Paul! Or possibly somewhere in the eastern part of Minneapolis where you can see the dome from. Witch's Hat? East Bank Flats?

All clues together:

I'm slow....does that mean i'm going to win??

would they be that obvious to name Snail Lake?? I know the last clue comes out on Saturday...

good possible location

OK did I miss something??? Why is everyone thinking St Paul?

because all good things happen in St Paul, silly! :grin: :litesmile:

where else is there??

I won't cross the river

One of the clues says to ignore Mr. Greeley's plea. His plea was "Go West, young man!"

Aw come on!! I thought I had a chance to actually look during a lunch hour for this thing... but if it's in St Paul :frown:

Kitch: there are hazmat suits you can wear to cross the river - Scribe gave me mine when I started this job two years ago :sillygrin:

yeah, I have to come to Mpls every workday, but barely Mpls. I am close enough to St Paul that I don't panic too much... :grin:
