I looked at Crosby and Hidden but they already did Hidden a couple years ago and with 2 whole counties WHY would they go near where they have been before?
I though BC was the farthest BIG park in the south of St Paul?
but wow are they close on the map!!!
The Trib has gone to small parks before so I don't rule those out...hense, which park is tech the farthest south in St Paul.
My first thought was General Mills (did they/do they have grain towers in the Shepherd Road area, visible from Chair-o-key?). Or perhaps there are other General Mills-realted places that are more obscure but have to do with this clue.
We should figure out where the earliest place to get the clue is, once this this goes a couple more clues. It doesn't get posted online until like 2 AM, I'll bet some stores get their papers before that. Also, the last clue is on Sunday and might be in the Early edition of the paper on Saturday.
Still scratchin' head, but google street view refers to downtown east (which looks like north east) over by the stone arch bridge. The ceresota building is on 2nd and portland, right down the hill is the mill ruins park with lots of walking paths. I think just to the south of that are the old Golden Medal Flour elevators (golden ticket?) Mills making ceral, grass fields and park paths along West River Park way... Right behind the Guthrie...
I had an epiphany right after we left BC earlier. We have been reading clue 5 wrong. It reads: "It still could bring you luck today, should you decide to go this way" We have been looking for shamrocks and lucky 7s this whole time. "It still could bring you luck" means that we should be looking for something that ordinarily would be unlucky, but is lucky now because the treasure is hidden there: Highway 13.:goofy:
we musta been in the same vacinity as the epiphany cause as we pulled out of BC we were talking about 7 and I was thinking 13 for bad luck - but the breakfast clue just doesnt scream the park! weird.
I talked with the creative marketing director and she said that they don't have any area that's formally set up for the distribution of the first papers with the clue in them. She mentioned that the earliest place to probably pick them up was in the Roseville area. And that wasn't until after 4am.
We know a quicker way that we'll try again tonight. Unless someone else comes up with something better in the mean time.

further = "I'm going to further myself" or metaphorical distance (i.e. "delve further into something")
If you like your
breakfast food,
this path will get you
in the mood.
KELLOGG?
but doens't make sense
Or maybe it is hidden in a Kashi (Cache) box?
Starting from the teflon roof heading west would be a goof.
Clue #2:
Get out and search and use those legs but to the north there's just goose eggs.
Clue 3:
Further south of the second city the golden ticket shines so pretty
Clue 4: If you like your breakfast food,this path will get you in the mood.
I swear I remember hearing that...
It still could bring
you luck today,
should you decide
to go this way.
Clue #2: Get out and search and use those legs but to the north there's just goose eggs. NOT NORTH/LEGGS-EGGS
Clue #3: Further south of the second city the golden ticket shines so pretty. SOUTH CHICAGO/SO PRETTY
Clue #4: If you like your breakfast food,this path will get you in the mood. SERIAL PATH/CEREAL MOOD
Clue #5: It still could bring you luck today, should you decide to go this way. 7 LUCKY/DIRECTION?
Still my rookie season, scattered thoughts......
street with a lucky or Irish name.
a horseshoe is lucky
is there a street that looks like a horseshoe?
the turn around KKKINDA could be a horseshoe look to it.
I like the lucky charms idea....
.... rainbows, horseshoes. leprechauns, shamrocks ... ROCK?
I like a SHAM ROCK - a rock that is a sham would be a fake rock.
i'm onto them!
Seems like the clues are more complex this year.
Which McDonald's are still serving (and advertising) Shamrock shakes?
A know a lot of flat roofs on those fast food joints use teflon for weatherproofing - slippery as hell if its wet.
Ms. Tomlin's parents liked the name, Chip's buddy's folks not the same
eggs
French toast, waffles, or pancakes (try wheat or whole-grain varieties)
cold cereal and milk
hot cereal, such as oatmeal or cream of wheat (try some dried fruit or nuts on top)
whole-grain toast, bagel, or English muffin with cheese
yogurt with fruit or nuts
fruit smoothie, such as a strawberry smoothie fresh fruit, granola or "energy" bars
We know a quicker way that we'll try again tonight. Unless someone else comes up with something better in the mean time.
gotta be something else
I was thinking an energy bar = excel energy
last night we were talking about one of those individual single serving cereal boxes.
a pancake maybe being a flat area or landing
oh no
