Hey, if they posted everywhere that the 3rd clue was wrong, it must be important. So if you do that linking thing, it spells CITY. That leads me away from phalen from now

Maybe the clue writer is REALLY mad? Maybe they were thinking, "I'll give em a tiny park with no parking and lots of interference in a bad neighborhood and then we'll see how fast they finish this hunt"?

Honestly I don't know what the PP wants. All I know is that the clues all seem to fit there better than anywhere else. So until I see something that makes me think that place is not plausible, I'm going to think its there. If you want to dig somewhere else, feel free.

"For if you hide the medallion, even in your hearts, there will he rake for it . . ."

I came to a definte decision about the meaning of the first part of clue five. I'm sure that man of steel is a ref. to superman because he isn't real ("man of steel cannot be real"). The "another" which can be real and has "plenty of mettle" is a refference to a REAL man of steel, a Steel Tycoon, who's name is somewhere around the medallion. This is either Andrew Carnegie or James Hill. I believe it is a James J. Hill reference, as Hill is a St.Paul native, but I haven't checked out the maps yet to cross refference Caregie with any parks. So the clue could be simply stating that the medallion is near a hill, or the reference to hill could be the James Hill memorial library in St. Paul.

Well stallion, the hole in your theory (hehe) is that mettle doesn't mean metal, and thus there's no reason to necessarily assume they mean a steel baron.

If "man of steel" really does refer to Superman, then the man with a lot of mettle would also have to be some sort of hero or have something in common with Superman in order to invite the comparison.

Alison, "another" is the link. The clue would be more properly state as "One man of steel . . ." but that would have made it to obvious. It is "another man of steel, but one that is real as opposed to not fictional (which is why I don't think the Clark Kent reference works) and BOTH Carnegie AND Hill have mettle and perseverance for being so successful despite the odds during the deppression

The whole gist of clue #5 is that the two men have one thing in common, and one thing that is different. The thing that is different, is that while one is a man of steel, the other is a man of mettle, which is the joke of it. But first they have to have something in common. In my argument, I say what they have in common is the name Franklin. The problem with with Clark Kent is that he is more real than Superman as he is in fact Superman and thus also a man of steel.

AW -

In comparison to Superman. Superman is a super hero. A super hero with super powers. Clark Kent is an alter identity, however, still a person with super powers. Same as Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Spiderman, and the reset of the MC and Superfriends bunch. The only Super hero without super powers is Batman. He only has his utility belt, and is in all other superhero ideals, a common man. A BRAVE common man.

Batman = Adam WEST. The park is a WESTern Park. Highland, Hidden Falls, Crosby . . .

I'm sorry to have to dissagree with you again Allison, but what is different is NOT that one is a man of steel while the other isn't. They are BOTH men of steel, the difference is that one is real while the other had plenty of mettle. But the general gist of you interpretation is right on.

Yes, Hill was a Rail man. But rail is, in my mind, a steel business. Hill was responsible for almost all the rail laid in the midwest. It's mostly his local rep. that would make me think the reference is to him. But again, it could be Carnegie . . .

I was also under the impression that Hill was a railroad baron, not a steel one. But the real person is the person of mettle, not steel.

Tim, my Valley interpretation is that "Franklin Magnet" might be thought of as a man of steel, but he's not real, though Benjamin Franklin has plenty of mettle. The idea being that Franklin Magnet School is part of Valley. It might work better with "Franklin Steel" instead of "Franklin Magnet" though.

"Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most."

I believe Hill was more of a railroad tycoon, namely the Pacific Railroad. Carnegie was the steel guy, Rockefeller was oil, and JP Morgan was banking. Are you sure the men of mettle and steel aren't statues?

Allison, if you are correct in your theory, then they would have pinpointed the park in clue 5. Do you think they would do that? It's another reason I don't quite buy it. Clever though, I have to admit.

Sue,

I think they may have given us locations in the park already, and since they fit so many parks we are still lost. I think the park will be Monday, and we will have to work back through the clues to find the location IN the park.

I think they did give us the park location, but didn't believe anyone would figure it out, or if they did, that they wouldn't just keep it to themselves. If I hadn't said Valley, I don't think anyone else would have either yet. It seems I've been the only one making a case for it and some others have just followed along.

OK Alison, but they narrowed the park down to early LAST year thinking that no one would get it. And this year they specifically state that it would be harder. I'm not trying to harp on ya, but I just want you to understand why I think you're wrong on this one. I don't want my friends freezing thier butts off in the wrong park!

Hey who had to talk you into going to Newell last year? hehe. I really think they thought they were hoinh to misdirect people to the edges of town instead of the middle with the east-west clue. And I think they believed everyone would assume the man of steel was Superman and get caught up looking for Clarks and Kents. And even now, Valley is hardly a concensus. I don't think there will be hundreds of diggers out there tomorrow, no matter what I say. Yet I still believe its there.

Please someone agree that just because they have NOT said park doesn't mean that it isn't? I really can't believe how fine a line it is we cut over that issue. Of course that is just my take.

As for being in a "ghetto" (can't say I really noticed) I don't know what they were thinking, but unless somewhere else fits the clues better, I'm not going to try and make assumptions about their mindset.

I really don't think its at Rice Park. Far too many issues going on there right now with the construction going on.

As for the park thing, I don't consider it a guarantee. They've hidden it in parks before and not used the word park. But not seeing it certainly does make you wonder if it was omitted for a reason, and I consider it a worthwhile, though maybe not definitive clue.

As for being a red herring, Valley as a red herring? Most people have never even heard of it. Personally I think Batlle Creek is the red herring with all the war references and the talk about east and west.

Valley is on University and Jackson (flashbacks to two years ago when I had to keep telling people where Conway was).

Some people have suggested knights for clue 5, but I get the feeling they are talking about a specific person rather than a group of people.

Swede Hollow has nothing but a biking/walking path. It is a park only in the sense that it is open space! It's not Swede Hollow--it has very few features that could point you there, and if PP gave any of those out, those who have been there even once would pick them up!

Barbie--como is so big, that you could fit these 5 clues into it, so many of us like to search smaller parks/rec centers first, because they seem excavatable and have a greater chance of stumbling on the thing by accident.

...is happy that Art Bell is back.

lelej--none of the clues corresponds to Downtown in my mind. Rice is fenced off for carnival activities. It is very unlikely PP or St. Paul wants a lot of digging there. We're talking serious fencing. I dig Kellogg every year, but it's just me, I view the park below my window, and the fever hasn't struck anyone else. Mears has no connection to these clues, that I can tell. It maybe in a park on the periphery of downtown, or that has a view of downtown, so if you need downtown to fit your interpretation of the clues, I would take it in that direction!

Also why would they hide it somewhere you really didn't have access to during the day? Just wondering cause I think the clues match too?

Hi All!

I also don't believe the Valley Rec theory. There are a couple of things that were stated could be seen from there that I don't believe are actually visible. The gold horses for one are on the other side of the capital. There is almost no parking and there are tons of kids that use the rec center for an after school program and the kids that attend Franklin Magnet.

I am very new at this and I am sorry for all the reprints. Yes I do think there's a chance. Saturn Riverfront Academy is right across the street. The Salvation ARMY has the lighted kettle there. There's more but I am running out the door to get my kids to a school thing. I'll be back later.

East and West just tells me to pick one side of the city to focus on.

Man of Mettle makes me think of a name...perhaps a street name near the park.

I won't let myself read any deeper into the clues, especially the first two.

East and West can be two directions a connecting road can flow in...not necessarily which side of the city.

the bird clue seems to point to either a dove icecream bar box or else a box from a bar of dove soap. to me it is too obvious though. maybe not if tomorrow they start pointing us towards the right park instead of the location w/in the park.
