It is interesting that they use destroy and deploy in the first line. It is awkward sounding. One of those words (or both) is important.

Duel, deploy. At Conway they had a kind of sports theme going, and so far this year it seems to be a combat theme.

Even if it is in a park with no golf course, people will dig in other parks; hence the warning. My guess is that's all the info we get now. Not on a golf course or on a statue.

This is where Ft. Snelling comes in Mpls & St. Paul rivalry and Ft. Snelling is in both, right? I know it is in Ramsey & Dakota Cty's.

Modern day pirates might use a torpedo, but not likely. Their goal is to rob the ship, not sink it.

Two years ago, when they used the sports references, it was to augment a later clue, when they referred to a famous person. It was supposed to help you think of Babe Ruth.

Tim, they had long guns and other gun type weapons that they used with gunpowder. Their goals were to take ships and their treasures. There were lots of rules around what flag a ship was flying and what ships had loyalties to what countries. The pirates only followed these rules when it suited them.

On July 11, 1804, Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr met on the dueling grounds at Weehawken, New Jersey, to fight the final skirmish of a long-lived political and personal battle. When the duel was over, Hamilton would be mortally wounded, and Burr would be wanted for murder.

I believe they have all been auctioned, but I could be wrong.

Yes, my first and a Straight Joe, how cool!

They have all been auctioned but, some of them are still about town. My stepdaughters school had one donated to them.

Some Snoopys still exist around town.

My map shows the entire fair grounds in Falcon Heights. But, I wouldn't rely on it since they have I94 labeled wrong.

I believe the ENTIRE fairgrounds is in Falcon Heights.

But the official State Fair Web Site says "The Minnesota State Fairgrounds is located at 1265 Snelling Avenue North in St. Paul."

I keep reading this....argh!!

Driving south on Snelling from Larpenteur, as soon as you drive past Hoyt, the sign says City of St. Paul. Falcon Heights runs from Hoyt north just beyond Larpenteur which is then Roseville.

Battle Creek is too obvious, however, is it possible that they would put it someplace obvious like that and then have fun with is in the next couple clues?

My official opinion is The fairgrounds is all in Falcon Hites.

That should settle it.

"It's a small world after all."

I thought that only 50 of the Snoopy's were auctioned. There are some still around town tho - there was a PP story a couple of days ago abou them I believe - they were thinking of doing something like it again, except w/ Lucy, Linus - except the Mayor didn't think it would work - that would probably be overload, but weren't they going to bronze or put one in gold or something (or a few) in a park - perhaps Rice, in the future?

I'm not. I used to work at the corner of Larpenteur and Snelling (Falcon Heights) and drove to my home in St. Paul down Snelling every day. St. Paul begins at Hoyt. The sign is right there. Can't miss it.

Tim,

Although I don't quite understand this obsession to go out in the cold and dig in the snow. I'm hooked on trying to figure the clues out!

"It's a small world after all."

The way they were ticked at the medallion being found so soon at Newel, makes one wonder about the Capitol Grounds since no one figured that one out until the LAST clue!

OK - You can go ahead and give up now

As a word to the wise. The last couple of years driving around the fairgrounds we were asked to leave by park police on grounds of trespassing. We gave our reasons and each year they told us that the fairgrounds are now privately owned and the city doesn't have anything to do with the grounds anymore. If you know different, we'd be glad to hear what you know. Ex. anyone working on grounds, security etc getting paid by the city (or state)

watch the clues completely point to COMO, and then on clue 10 11 or 12 he puts a street or ave. on the end, and ittiz really fari grounds all along.

Not to beat a dead horse, but my unreliable map shows that Hoyt is the border on the east side of Snelling and that Coliseum Ave or Rd inside the fairgrounds is the border on the west side of Snelling - putting the entire fairgrounds in Falcon Heights.
