Hey H...how's it going @ Clue Central?
Clue Central is churning and burning right now, I've been flying some crazy ideas around in my ind, but not a lots coming out. I think the one clue we have solved that no one else has however is the proof it is not at Newell!
Thanks, Shoveler(about the 4 dirt bags).... Those "towers" could also refer to towers that are not big ie: two playgrounds I was at had "towers" on top of the slides, swings, etc. they are triangle shaped towers...any thoughts?
any word from the coppers?
Im with you....well I gotta run back to my fun job here H...I will check with you later on. BTW. Place where red car is from is a car dealership which is right next to my other job. I have to go pick up paychecks from that job today, so I'm gonna stop in and say HI.
See ya later T!
well, if yoou don't like well trained for hawkeye, how bout the fact that BNSF hub center is across the street from Newell? It is very "well trained". Don't we usually have all the streets bordering the park by now??? If I stick with Newell, I still need clues to point to hewitt and taylor...has anyone found any clues pointing in this direction yet??
No word from the coppers yet... I decided Im gonna do a little Magnum PI'ing of my own though. It cant hurt.
Last year all the clues pointed to newell as well. I swear it ain't there but I invite everyone to blow their brains out looking there!
SM What park was that by?? You should have reported that car to the cops....
Hey buster...I dont wanna give away all secrets here...LEt's just say it was a park that has been mentioned on here. ANd I immediately went downtown and gave full description. It's registered to a car dealership and there is an APB actually...because this guy is impersonating police.
OK, its time to anagram this "Magnum PI" hey that comes out "a mung imp" anyone got any wild theorys on that, lol!
A tailor (taylor) has a well-trained eye.
Gonnna go get this putter room clean and some laundry done so I have something clean to wear for digging later.
BBIAW
That sucks about your car thing shovelmaster. What is up with the dumb f's?
I don't see last years clues pointing so clearly to newell. big sliding hill??? newell seems 'right'. the other 2 streets.. maybe some searching on the web for name connections with the clues.
tailor (taylor) has a well-trained eye.
not to mention a needle, the tool of a tailor, has an eye. I guess everyone should run off to Newell!
hahaha
hewitt...jennifer love connection? :) taylor...james...anything jumping out?
Last year I was sold on the fact that the clues were pointing towards Hewitt, as in PP Film reviewer Chris Hewitt.
cya terry...you seem to be my sole ali in this Newell park thing... I should go feed the little one and do some laundry myself. perhaps I will see ya at Newwll tonite...appears we will be the only ones there! shovel master...what parks ARE you leaning toward??just curious since I'm sold on Newell!
DG I'm with ya on Newell
I'm stuck on Newell as well. I'm so sure it's there somewhere, it's too obvious! We're all missing something!
does anyone think the "right track" could refer to Arlington or Hawthorne both horse race tracks and both streets that run into phalen?
Terry, We all went for Newell at this point last year as well and nothing good came of it. A thought that I had as far as what it may be in is this: The first clue said start a new obsession, as in the perfume/cologne from Calvin Klein, I want to think it might be a box of that. I am not sold on Newell yet, it is still, too early!
Since most of you weren't here early this morning, I'll re-iterate my theory. The well-trained eye is your eye trained on a well of some sort. My 10 grand says when you find the medallion you're either looking at a well, or it lies on a line between the well and something like a tree. This is just the sort of wordgame that Mom plays. Anyone else see this?
cb, have you been out to Newell yet? Hubby there last night, no new revelations, but theorys all seem to fit other than no statue if we go with that anagram thing from astute. does anyone know the actual measure of a pace, or is that just an anagram for cape??? what do ya think sm??
The daily park report: Went to Newell over lunch. Didn't get out of my car, and there were maybe a dozen or so people there. With all the trees between P-B Route and the railroad tracks, I doubt much of anything can be seen to the north, save the fair Space Needle (at least not from my vantage point in the parking lot)
Denise,you won't be the only one there. My hubby was there is morning digging. We're pretty positive that it's there and it'll be a little difficult to convince us differently. There were about 6 or so people digging there besides my husband. They were pretty sure it's there as well.
I've been on line looking at the posts, but just haven't had to to put my two cents worth in. Between typing my husband's reports and kids' homework, I've only had time to catch up on reading your ideas. Had a wonderful time a few days ago laughing at Allison Wonderland (urinal - Shakspeare)
Anyway here are my thoughs for Newell: well-trained: train station; Pierce "Hawkeye"; Butler - serves; cloudy - Fair(view); foul - penguin at a house by Newell (this may be a stretch); there's a school - magnet, baseball-tennis courts - "ace"; towers/Boreas - north toward State "Fair"grounds, etc.
Any thoughts?
Is there an old style, hand operated pump , well at Newell park?
I was at Newell last night, about 35 hunters diggin away..
DG
pace1 (ps) n.
A step made in walking; a stride. A unit of length equal to 30 inches (0.76 meter). The distance spanned by a step or stride, especially: The modern version of the Roman pace, measuring five English feet. Also called geometric pace. Thirty inches at quick marching time or 36 at double time. Five Roman feet or 58.1 English inches, measured from the point at which the heel of one foot is raised to the point at which it is set down again after an intervening step by the other foot.
I didn't see any type of well or pump at Newell
the garage logic think tank continues to ponder the north side of the midway stadium parking where tailgators set up tents by the tracks
Oh, I forgot, change of profession from Vikings to the Saints Stadium not far away from Newell.
Can't seem to stay away from here.
There is a well in the word Newell
I feel were working too hard to make it fit newell, but i feel we work even harder to make it fit other parks
Doc,
Your a GLer....Rock on
Has anyone got any new thoughts on "rapscallion" I can't believe the word was used by accident...Also I like the Calvin Klein idea..it comes in a white box doesn't it??
theirs a ratscallion bar inside the landmark brewery, thats close to rapscallion
it could just mean, not to break with tradition meaning its in a park its been in before
The word rapscallion I haven't really worked out for Newell. A villian, dog, heel, devil, criminal, rake, worm, beast, brute, demon: just an evil person that is looked down upon. Is my only take on that.
Someone said this earlier, they thought it was "rapped" in an onion!
I think tonite's clue will be the one that gives away the park!
submitted for your approval---dont be a rapscallion opposite of that would be a saint hence midway stadium
Denise, to be honest- I don't know, sorry.
Just a thought- If we try hard enough, we can make it fit into any park in St. Paul at this point in the game. You all have great thoughts, however, it seems to early in the game for me, I could be wrong, but I have learned over the years that it is best to wait a little bit and then go for it, good luck to all.
Heres one for you Newell fools what is the definition for a rapscallion:
RASCAL, NE'er-do-well
nice work doc
Not to pick you apart, doc, but the opposite of "don't be a rapscallion" would be "be a rapscallion" or "don't be a saint"
Denise, to be honest- I don't know, sorry.

My lunch time is over. I'll have to check in with you clue people later. Good luck!
I'll have to check in with you clue people later.
Clue Central is always open!
just a thought...is there a vantage point at Newell that includes the name of the park and the grills or fire ring...going to clue 4...Read this well......really get you cooking.
Maybe I'm reaching here but the terms serve and ace are also volleyball terms. but it might be hard to see the courts under the snow.
john - but we know they are there.
I like the reference to the Saints as well.
I have tried to make these clues fit other parks...but none seem to fit as easily as Newell at this moment in time.
When we have been at the right park, we are often there early on in the clues. Waiting is more like waiting for the press to start telling us where everyone is digging.
meant dont be a rapscallion would be a reference to bieng a saint
Can I tell you?
It kind'a makes me cry...
I was driving around. Going slow, pulling up on curbs to let cars pass me,
rubber-necking every which way... Kind'a driving from side to side on the
road(s) because I was NOT looking where I was going.
There was this kind'a crummy car behind me, really close... So, I mumble,
"Otay, otay, give me a minute..." and I pulled way over to the rite. The car
----------------------------> sped around me.
I got bock in the lane, looking all over, and I see that particular car
pulled over on the rite in front o'me, and a young male - funky hair, black
leather coat - sticks 1/2 his body out the driver's window to flag me down. He
was rrreeealllllyyy frowning...
I quick pulled over, figured it was annudder Hunter, and locked my door as
the kid approached my car.
He leans down - and I'm expecting, "Are you green?" - and says, "You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine!"
"Well, I was worried - you were driving so slow and weaving..."
"OH! I'm looking for The Medallion!"
Blank look on his face... So I explained.
"Okay, you're sure you're not having any problems?"
"You are so kind. No, the only probs I'm having is finding The Medallion."
With another, "Okay," he walked back to his car.
Just typing this makes me cry. What a great kid. He couldn't have been more
than 17. It gets me so damn mad when all of America's young are considered evil
just because of a few bad apples. America's youth is WONDERFUL!!!
New Obession might also be the WILD and ACE for ace bandage..ergo....Med attached to hockey puck with ACE Bandage?
Any thoughts?
I suggested that about 5000 posts ago just me
well, that could be what its in, but in my opion, it dosnt make a darn difference what its in,
Does any one know where the dog pound is?
well, that could be what its in, but in my opion, it dosnt make a darn difference what its in,
If you find anything that looks out of place - YOU EXAMINE IT, right Terry!
green, way to warm our hearts on this cold winter day . You just be careful out there while driving ok..we need your insight!
Here's my thoughts (simple as can be)
#1- No more than a Saint Paul park and NOT on a golf course...
#2- Something to do with a race... Marathon? Xcountry ski? Cars?
#3- To the NORTH will be a tower or two (two possibly being the actual NUMBER 2)
#4- Picnic pavilions and fire pit/grills
#5- from cloudy and foul comes 'fair'... and even if youre in a cloudy or foul mood the Fair will attract you, thats a fact...
#6- well-TRAINed... on the right TRACK... attack=??? (pierce?)
I tried to abstain from naming parks until #6 there... but i'm for Newell... the word WELL has popped up too much... and in well-trained is Newell... the remaining letters spell TRIAD whatever the hell that may point to...
think #2 is the only clue that doesnt jump at me for Newell... although isnt there a speedway near midway? maybe just during the fair...
You examine things that don't look out of place! Even white earmuffs in the middle of the winter.
yep I thought so Terry, had to give you a little heat.
homer, the pound is behind mcmurray fields, off lexington and jessamine, right by the humane society.
That's okay shoveler. I think I'm slowly getting over it. Sometimes I can almost laugh!
But the sure cure would be to have it in my hands...again!
near the end of the hunt you get excited about any piece of garbage lying in the snow. i love the hunt!
Then I almost sensed a replay of that when someone mentioned earlier about finding a vikings ear warmer in one of the parks.
The fact that the word well has popped up so much is what scares me about Newell. Though at least they haven't used New and well in the same clue like last year. I do still like it, but not sure about it. It's still my second choice.
Hello all. What are the latest thoughts? Everyone still pretty much stuck on Newell?
Though at least they haven't used New and well in the same clue like last year
They have Dave, the last clue has word anagraming out to Newell Triad or Tri Ad Newell - try at Newell, also a Rapscallion is a NE'er-do-WELLer.
As for today's clue, I think "on the right track" might just be clue jargon. "stays on the attack" seems like a bizarre phrase to use that might have some meaning. Not sure what though.
When I look at Newell it just doesn't seem right. I haven't found a park that I think fits all the clues yet but I will. It just seems that people are trying to make it fit whatever park they would like to think that it is in.
Has anyone been to any parks today?
Allison-- are you ready to divulge your first choice or still claiming that park as yours alone? No pressure.
What scares me is last year I was thinking Newell as one possibility and did spend a bit of time there. But I also spent time at the capital mall before getting to Conway.
This year I'm currently sold on Newell.
So tonight's clue will send us all scrambling to a different park...or maybe no.
Has anyone been to the part of Battle Creek off of 61 to look around. I haven't but I used to be a ski jumper and Battle Creek is a former ski jumping sight and I know that when you ski jump it is VERY important to stay on the track. What do you think?
Some people mentioned it last night after the clue came out, but it seemed to get passed over quickly. I still like it, but not 100% sure on it, though I was pretty sure when I saw the clue last night.
I know which park Allison was hunting in....and I'm not sold....but it is good noodling.
I'm not even considering Battle Creek since it was there only five years ago. Plus they revealed it in clue 6 last year. I think if it was there we'd know it. But I don't think they will use it again for a while.
The point of post Cosmo Cat 1/28/00 2:05PM is to stop everyone from trying to find quadruple clues in a single clue.. i.e. rapscallion in clue #1... IT MEANS NOTHING!! and enough with this well-trained eye = hawkeye = hawkeye pierce = pierce butler... too many links in that chain...
AND I ALSO REPRESENT GARAGE LOGIC... although some may say I'm nested in Liberal Lakes... and my CI is 0!!!
The point of post Terry Valentine 1/28/00 2:05PM is to stop everyone from trying to find quadruple clues in a single clue.. i.e. rapscallion in clue #1... IT MEANS NOTHING!! and enough with this well-trained eye = hawkeye = hawkeye pierce = pierce butler... too many links in that chain...
AND I ALSO REPRESENT GARAGE LOGIC... although some may say I'm nested in Liberal Lakes... and my CI is 0!!!
I know that also at the battle creek off of 61 on the cliff there an old friend of mine carved something on there when his father died. I was wondering if anyone can remember what it says. Does it fit anything? I know that they did only hide it in battle creek 5 years ago but who knows. For all they know they could have hidden it in Conway again just to throw us off.
I have to run to the bank in a while and will drive by battle creek off of 61... ill let e1 know what the scene is in about 2 hours... not a search choice of mine but i will gander by and give a report
I think I am going to head out to Phalen and Newell this afternoon. Anybody else heading out today?
a CI of zero??? sounds very euphorian to me...
I am with you cosmo. I think that they are trying to make the clues fit the park that they want.
Hey ya'll how about this: well-trained eye = hawkeye =the Iowa hawkeyes =Iowa street that runs right into Phalen, Even though it runs into the golf course, just noodling
Okay...I'm back form work...let the weekend begin..Woohoo!!!...what have I missed?
I agree Cosmo. Can't have long chains. Last year when "trees in a line" meant Woodrow, which led to Wilson, the clue specifically spelled out each step along the way.
A CI of 0....
oooohh. I'm not much in front of you, CC.
I still say there's NOT too many links - last year with Conway it went from
"trees in a row" = wood row = woodrow wilson, wilson was a street that ran along
Conway.
my zero CI is not by choice...
cosmo cat-- glad to see a voice of reason. digging to deep only gets you shovels full of snow and dirt.
but i still have no good ideas of my own. gotta run; be back soon.
As far as the good hunter thing from last nights clue goes. Is there any good hunting areas around phalen? or something from the past? BEing a hunter does not mean it has to be a medallion hunter.
Hmmm, Mom, we're almost thinking alike.
Two problems with Battle Creek... construction zone by the school and playground, area off 61 doesnt even have plowed parking lot
I didn't know I haven't been there I was just wondering if any one had checked it out.
"trees in a line"
Actually last year I took that clue to mean an "Arbor queue" say that fast and what does that suggest to you.
I think the medallion will be found tomorrow...tonights clue is going to blow it wide open
trees in a row translates into Woodrow which really doesnt translate into anything beyond that other than adding Wilson on... but that was last year... enuf with conway... point being hawkeye doesnt conjure up pierce like woodrow conjured up wilson...
I know what it translates to now, but I liked my explanation as well.
Obviously it does for some, not for others.
Time will tell. I personally don't believe it's that far of a path to go from Hawkeye Pierce to Newell..but then I was/am a die hard M*A*S*H fan.
Hawkeye does conjure up Iowa.
I hope that tonight's clue is a good one that so at least I will know where the hell to go instead of waisting tanks of gas driving all over St. paul every day just to check things out because it could be anywhere.
Last year it said think first of trees in a line, Then, from this a name will emerge. It was very specific that Woodrow was not the answer and that you had to take a second step. So, unless it tells you to take that second step, I say don't.
clue 6 "apply" the shipping co across the street has an application sign out...newell. "inspection". MN Dept. OF Health has an office close by (closer to midway).
Has anyone ruled out Swede Hollow...and if so why?
they used a Hawkey reference sometime in the early 1980s to signify Pierce Butler road. Would they do it again?
I tied last night and could not even find an accessable area to Swede Hollow. How the hell do you get there.
I don't know Alan. It works for me at the moment.
I have NOT ruled out Swede Hollow. Still, I have no explanation for clue #5 for that park.
I also thought maybe a well trained eye meant that perhaps you could see the medallion if you looked carefully and you didn't need to dig (I know--sacrelidge!)
I believe it is at Radar O'Reilly park!
Allison that's what I took that clue to mean right away.
Swede Hollow is right off of Payne and 7th st. Right by Metro State and the Downtowner carwash
why doesnt everyone try doing something different for awhile... how about acting as if we live in china and have no idea what the parks names r... they havent given it to us anyways... why not just figgure out what the clues may contain and then when they do give the park away.. zero in from there... everyone is reaching WAY to far to make it fit their park of choice
Grab your shovels, to Radar park we go!!!! Every clue fits, even the Teddy Bear reference.
Fianally some people that are thinking like I am
But what about Trapper John Park?
Radar park is right on target!
LOL @ Alan
I heard they just renamre a park "Hot Lips" is that helpful?
I think that is basically waht people are doing to the clues
I like Frank Burns park myself!
Trapper park is in Roseville. Sorry. I know where Swede Hollow is just not how to access it.
Or Sherman T. Potter Park! Or what about Klinger Park?
M*A*S*H -- ROFLMAO
ive been reading all the posts for days and im getting the feeling im at a cellulite convention with all the stretching going on in here
Hello everyone any ideas yet on this clue #6?
Allison--I'm with you, I don't think the medallion will bu buried this year. My thinking is that we had virtually no snow until 2 weeks ago. I think they came up with a plan that would work in the event wen continued to have a snowless winter!
LOL @ Werentany
Klinger Park?
Yes, not to be confused with Klingon Park (all those star TRACK) references in the clues!
Radar was from Iowa...
Radar = Hawkeye = Pierce
Radar is Hawkeye!
Alan - do you know how to access Swede Hollow now? If not I can help you.
maybe the whole 2000 winter carnival clue hunt is a tribute to mash
still do not. I will probably be able to figure it out in the daytime, I have terrible night vision.
H=Where's ferret face park?
maybe the whole 2000 winter carnival clue hunt is a tribute to mash
Or maybe they feel that we'll all have a heart attack or a brain aneurysm trying to solve their clues so we should be close to a Mobile Armored Surgical Hospital!
rofl shoveler very good point... gonna take that into consideration...hehehe
Ferret Face...LMAO!!!!
what are all the parks that are in Ramsey county anyone of them or a place to get a list of them?
The medallion is in ST. PAUL
Kiwi you can buy The treasure hunters guide to the St Paul Parks at bookstores in St Paul
Hey Kiwi
St. Paul is like the opposite of Korea. The medallion is in Korea.
Kiwi if yo want to go out looking I won't be able to go until Jeremy gets home because Jake is sick.
Swede Hollow:
From 7th & Mounds blvd, go south. Parking is almost directly across from
Payne Ave. There is a traffic light there. I don't know if it's been plowed or
not.
There's another entrance at the other end. From 7th, (going N or NE) turn
left on to Greenbriar. It dead ends at the park.
What does...LMAO mean? Does it mean I'm acronym illiterate?
So I take it that no one likes the Iowa hawkeyes thing?
is there, or is there not, public land around midway stadium (ball PARK) in st. paul?!
I so want to hunt down the guy (and it has to be a guy no female would be this bad) that writes these and ask him what the hell he was thinking.
LMAO = Laughing my A$$ off
I have heard several people say no public property around Midway
if i block the parks from my mind... this is what i get out of the clues: #1: Dont be sad the Vikes lost.... get out and join the hunt... also stay off the golf course (pretty simple i think) #2: set your own pace could make u an ace simply in my opinion says dont read in to them too deep... a forewarning four clues 3-5 2nd half dont know about.Ace could be what its hidden in #3: A tower or two or the #2 visable to the north... reading it simple at my own pace as #2 says #4: no ideas but very important #5: also no ideas but very important also... remember to read them for what they saay with a lil hidden meaning #6: this is what links this theory for me... a well trained "Eye" (ours reading the clues) ia 1 reason we as good hunters will stay in track(seeing what we need to in 3-5) I think 6 is a reminder of stay on the right thought process by not digging to deep... setting us up to give away the park and zero in from there...3-5 should gel for us then.
Thank you to E&HM
yes the parking lot and north of the lot is public land run by st paul parks...at midway that is
I dont follow that Hawkeye part of it at all...I think we are missing the mark...
Working:
Welcome to Acronyms 101
LOL: either "Laughing out
loud" or "Lots of Laughs"
ROF: is "Rolling on floor", usually precedes
LOL
PMP: peeing my pants
LMAO: laughing my @$$ off
Well-trained can anagram into in red wallet, Read that a few 100 posts back.
ok i respect the fact the no one respects simplicity but we dont have the park name so why not take it for face value until we can put more together... any responses?
A hawkeye is more of a natural ability as oppose to a trained eye. And if they meat hawkEYE,they would not use the word eye, but rather keen vision or something.
werentany-- i agree that one should not read too much into the clues, but i think there will always be a somewhat hidden clue, and i think all the clues will actually help pinpoint the park; they won't put one in just to say "don't read too much into the clues." At least that's my humble opinion, take it or leave it.
I am pretty sure of this much: Newell isn't the place.
Troy and Kitty I figured that out....may be what its in
its always in something white to blend in with the snow... and if the concept of some is its not in the snow... red is the last color ot would be in
Allison-- I was thinking of keen, too, but I thought it would be a street name, and as far as I can tell, there is no Keane, Keen, or anything similar. Do you have further insight into this word?
If you look at the clues most of them are sports related, golf, tennis, baseball...... any ideas
Triad Newell is also in there though
The Skoal tin a few years back wasnt white...just a thought
trained eye... needle/space needle at the fair should at least be seen from locale. anyone else? this still supports newell, midway, longford
well all im off to the bank.. battle creek by 61 is on the way so ill let everyone know whats up out there as i drive by cya in a while good hunting all
No, its not always in something white, just often.
And I wasn't suggesting keen, just using it as a sample clue of what it might have read if they DID mean Hawkeye.
What do I think? Isn't the muscular part of the eye (the part that could be trained through exercise?) the iris?
doc, do you make midway area fit better than newell? I like midway but newell seems to connect better. Nice to hear you're a GLer. Like to think of myself as one...
Isn't the Iris the colored part of the eye?
Clue number 2 "If your grasp of these clues is astute"...I think it has hidden meaning other than the staue anagram....
What about Linwood park, is that already out of the question?
the tower of the horticulture building at the fair is also visable from newell
oops Statue
the garage logic think tank is busy pondering all possibilities and we may even have to go tail gate while waiting for the next clue
Might be wrong, but I think its both Terry.
Princess, although commonly known as the Space Needle, it's plainly visible from Snelling that it says "Space Tower" IIRC.
How is everyone? Anyone been out this afternoon?
Has anybody looked at College Park yet?
I wish!!!!
I just wanna make sure everyone is looking in the right direction.....
Yep, Terry. The iris is the colored part of the eye. The black spot is the pupil (hmm, if we see a clue with a link to students...), and its covered by the cornea
Doesn't channel 5 have an "eye in the sky" camera on top of one off their transmission towers? That could be the meaning in clue 6.
Alan, are you still around?
oh man...they took my ability to post maps away.
I am still here. I just dont have anything to add.
Just in case you got the idea you
wanted to cruise around Swede Hollow (and it doesn't seem to score very
high in the ranking right now)...
I think I may have given you a bum direction for the upper part of the park -
I said to turn on Greenbriar, and I'm not sure that's the name of the St. as it
crosses 7th. A better one would be Maria.
The streets are really a mess in that area - start and stop without
warning!
Ok.............brainstorm here...........what about that little park on corner of dale and university.............it has a farmers market there in summer.....former sight of faust theatre.............Where else in midway other than midway stadium like I've been saying all along
Why Swede Hollow????
thanks for the space needle correction. Tailgating at midway?! :)
My head hurts...
Thinker - That's not a park.
There are still quite a few places the thing could be and I am stumped. Not to many people out looking at about noon time either, I suppose some people work during the day.
MIDWAY IS A BALLPARK. WHY DOES PARK HAVE TO BE A PLACE WITH BENCHES AND A SWINGSET? OUTSIDE THE BOX, PEOPLE. :)
I had a thought last night and it's been sticking w/ me
ever since....about clue 5
"opposites attract" & "cloudy and foul"
I started thinking of Phalen and the lake itself is large with clear blue
water. Now the opposite of the lake is Round Lake, which is a tiny lake right to
the west of Lake Phalen....not to mention that Round's water is definately
"cloudy and foul"
They both "attract" because there are bike/walking tracks around them both
and people go around both of them.
Then i thought of "mood" and thought that it would have been too obvious if
they would have said "Even if the water is cloudy and foul" so they used "your
mood" to kinda throw people off.
I thought it was a good....different take on clue 5....any comments?
what isnt? the market? thoguht so..............hey Theres Trains in left field of midway stadium.......I called yesterday and was told its fair game
Midway Stadium is not a park. I'm not even sure it's public property.
Is Newell no longer an option?
Yup. The market there is not a park. It's actually owned by the Aurora/St. Anthony block clubs I believe.
another announcement from the garage logic think tank..again midway is a park think tailgating trains tents and the whole show
doc, didn't you have info on public land at/near midway???
Why do some keep saying Midway Stadium, it is NOT a St. Paul park. The only thing you will find there is maybe an old baseball.
StepDogg - not bad noodling on
Phalen, especially since there IS archery up on that end of the park.
That's kind of another stretch, but an archer would need to have a
well-trained eye.
Steppdogg, the opposite of foul is pleasant... hence Pleasant Ave... Linwood Park???? Is it a stretch?
OK for once for ALL.............Midway stadium was called for many years up untill 4 yrs ago......MUNICIPAL STADIUM........meaning city owned. if all the clues match there why not give it a shot.
clue says park in st. paul. midway is a ball park in st. paul. how come that is such a leap for some of us? not saying it's right but it seems reasonable to make. other clues leading to newell seem much stronger tho.
Round lake---MAPLEWOOD---archery at Phalen---MAPLEWOOD these parts of the park are both out of St. Paul.
once last time here ppl midway is maintened by st paul parks and rec time to grab some pigs eye and go tailgating
Because the city does not list it as a city park
ok cool people are finally seeing the light..............i bet we get a saint related clue by sunday
They're not going to want 500 people digging up the Saint's baseball diamond on the night of the last clue!
It's not there....
Thinker - BECAUSE it specifically states that its in a PARK in St.Paul.....if it was at a STADIUM they would say...on public property in St.Paul
It may not be at Midway Stadium, but across the tracks is Newell.....

You people actually think it is at MIDWAY STADIUM?!?!?!? Come on.....
Who did you call that told you it was fair game?
you can't get inside the park but around the outside is fair game! ;) park is an easy connection that works without being a 'giveaway' by just saying public property. PProperty may have been tooooo vague. obsession/saints/seems good. May just confirm the park is close by, which leaves longford, NEWELL, etc.
Don't go diggin up Midway and get the hunt cancelled or something!
Some people try maybe a little too hard? OR they are trying to pursuade people away from their first pick (Newell)
ok folks! Drop this Midway Stadium crap! It is NOT a st. paul park, and it is NOT a place the Pioneer Press would like a bunch of autistic morons rambling on that Midway Stadium is woned my the city, because it is NOT owned by the city! It is PRIVATE PROPERTY! Do you seriously think they will let you in to the field, and start throwing snow left and right! c'mon, get serious!
IT'S NOT AT MIDWAY STADIUM!
Not that I'm supporting Midway, but it is a ballPARK, which just happens to be in Saint Paul. Not that the PP would be foolish enough to hide it on the field if they could even get in.
ok it's a ballPARK..............how far is newell from stadium? I'm guessing it's outside stadium somewhere........Time to grab a case of beer some stoogies and find that SOB..........
owned
pigs eye I see doc but tailgating???
Alright -- Will someone quickly break down the clues as to why you think it is at NEWELL??? I just don't see it....
Anyone who thinks its at Midway Stadium, I have some land for sale in the Florida.
Ok, let's go dig up a PARKing ramp or something then!
not IN midway, around it.
Newell was broken down a few posts ago SD.
