ASK ABOUT ANY CLUE AND I WILL TELL YOU WHAT SIGNIFIGENCE IT HAS TO HIDDEN FALLS!
Michelle Irving Park is off of 7th streeet I think ya turn left on walnut street its right acroos from the Ramsey house!
Regg where is Hidden Falls?
Hi green, Having fun...?? We wait all year for this and here we are still trying to figure which parks its in. Heck I don't even know if its in a park... I just left a message about an interesting park at allisons club. I will be diggingn late tonight so I will be tired at work tom. don't tell anybody why I am falling asleep (as if they couldn't guess)
MY inane initial thinking?! What headline for the PP will look really GREAT on the 50th anniversary of the medallion hunt. Yes? No?
Hey all...Hi Green..just a quick visit...if somebody wants to shoot their phone number to me I'll call with the clue at 11:00 PM as I will be stopping in at the Mardi Gras gig down at the PP. I need it right now cuz I'm heading out!
Oh yes, I forgot about the 1st Bank light... Hmm... Can that be seen from Battle Creek?
I wouldn't count on a snowbank unless it was intentionally made in a random area; the banks on the streets... and probably anywhere you'd pile the snow up, are open to permanent removal, it could wind up in a landfill somewhere :) This also leads to another rule that one wouldn't want to start looking anywhere near sidewalks or major walkfares, either.
HEY DOES ANY ONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GO TO GET TODAYS CLUE??:)
Hidden falls streches along the Miss. between the Ford plant and west 7th!
Ms. Green, help me out with this..is that lead ryhming with sled, or lead rhyming with reed? Thanks
No you cant see the 1rst bank sign form Battle creek its down to low
Beckster - a click back to PP homepage and at the bottom?
There is a link to today's clue at the top of the screen
Any takers on my offer...Green....???
Okay what is every bodies top 3 ideas on mettel man. mine are
1 superman, clark kent, KENT street
2 ML KING
3 Churchill tied with Jackson
I guess thats 4 how about you??
Mac, We'll be filming there!
Those, I don't know.
"leed" not "led"
My Take On The Clues:
#1 This park has been the place for many gold medals, and is within the city limits of St. Paul. Many duels or contests have taken place in this park (and continue to), as well as many dualities concern it - only one of which was that you had to "keep on your toes."
#2 Stay off private ground and don't mess with any statues or golf courses.
#3 Circular thinking/linking refers to bicyles. This is part of one of the dualities.
#4 East and west is another duality of the park, but which is correct? (*I* know!) Playing referrs to playing fields in the park.
#5 First guy's metal; second's one o'much mettle. Second guy would have caught deal/lead. First guy would know dual/duel.
So far, everything fits. However, everything fit last year until that 7th Clue!!!
I think of Ron Ryan
All righty then...I'll be back late tonight! Good luck to all!
New Daddy--I combine two--The Gilette building is visible from Valley rec--man of metal--and for those who need a FATG anagram, the Building has a big fat G followed by illette.
Crazy - I found some very bright fl pink fabric to make a unique identifier out of. Need some for the boa? : )
Good thinking green. So many ideas sound good I can't yet pin it down
THE MAN OF METTLE IS HENRY FORD, THE FORD PLANT IS NEXT TO HIDDEN FALLS
YES! Oh man we could make some heads Turn girl! they will be to busy Looking at us. We can be The distractors and we can get some people to hurry up and dig LOL. We can build and Alliance=)
Hey Green did you go out today?
Any one talk to my momma today her name is Strikitrich?
Hay, Leah! Yeah. We were at Marydale... And Capitol Mall... And... Around... LOL!!!
Howboutchew?
Crazy - OK if you catch me out and about as I'm having this fabric somewhere, we'll talk. I can sew so we'll whip up something useful. Perhaps if not this year, next for sure!
green - I like the honesty! kidda like I really think I know but I could be wrong?
Anyone know the name of this park?? We went there last night but I did not see any name. It is very small and on a map it is in the shape of a circle. (or so grandpa says) It is located on the west side of St. Paul by Ohio street. It has a great view of all of St. Paul including the first bank sign, the gold horses of the capitol. You are overlooking Hariet island. I believe the intersecting streets are Bellows and Delos.
LOL Elsea sounds like a good plan to me=) So youll be wearing a hot pink fabric some place on ya?
Went to Valley, Highland(just drove around) and of course I had to go Palace again!!
Nope, Elsea. I'm convinced. It was hard for me - the clues are hard. I don't mind helping, but by gods I'm not going to hand The Med right to you.
But, I guess you're right. But I just don't want to say as I don't want somebuddy beating me to The Med!
Witchdct--where is that park?
Also, tell me again how to get to Hidden Falls and also Irving...
Where's "around" Green?
witchdct it's prospect park.
Crazy - yep I'm going for the hot pink - it practically glows in the dark
green - why not ? haha
Hey Michelle did you go to Valley this evening?
Thanks!
Gopher Bar for one...
so you must be feelin pretty good right now then Green
Okkies Elsea Ill look for ya. But I dunno where to look yet thats my only prob LOL
Green.... do you have a CB in your car???
A green one, Jakey...
Crazy - mine TOO but one would think sometime into this you'll see me
WHO THINKS ITS AT HIDDEN FALLS?
Elsea I know huh. I mean hell we could just say ok it's here meet there and be like yah we are clue less LOL
Regg even if I do agree, there really is no need for what can sometimes be considered shouting
Me
I think you missed the joke green...
who's gonna go out today
I am LOL Don't know where yet
o.k. - what do ya'll think of this: In 1970, retired Pioneer Press cartoonist Jerry Fearing created the "Adventures of Supermayor," a strip whose main character was St. Paul Mayor Charlie McCarty. The strip ran in the St. Paul Dispatch. This is the man that will be doing VenturaLand. Anyway, there is a Carty Park, near MLK Rec Area. Do you think that is worth checking out?
Leah, I feel xhausted. Two coney dogs and a root beer and no sleep hardly for days.
I GOT the "joke", Jake!
crazy - we'll have to have some clue if we tend to implement the prior mentioned plan. So we best try to work on these clues to get us at least close!
You Regg- Go to Hidden or Highland!!!
Yes...I went to Valley from 6-6:30pm. There were a couple others there...but really, we don't know where to dig. That's the problem. And I am starting to doubt it's there. :)
LOL how bout this. We go to every park that people think it's at and we stay at the one with the most people HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!@!!!!!!
Annette- everythings worth a shot
I was there too Michelle my daughter and I did you see us- well anyways, some clues fit,but that for alot of places at this point
Yep, Michelle, I was there. Dug a lot of snow, found: Skittles bag. Reeses package. Leaves. Evidence of Rabitts. There was a guy digging every base pad on the ball fields. And a couple of nice ladies having, what I think must have been, very satisfying cigarettes...
Crazy - hmm yes and we'll do that just after we read tonights clue and find out which one we should start in.
Does anyone disagree with the inside a Dove soap box theory? Hope nobody throws it away as trash! : O
Since I gave up nicotine, all smokers seem so happy!
DD were over by the fence?
Why do you people think it is in a Dove box (just wanted to know)?? :)
Boy I really feel like I have no life right now sitting here for hours at a time LOL
dd, were those cigarettes or something a bit stronger?
Jake, weren't you going to get some sleep Beefore heading out again?
All, hit Mom Press tonite for the paper! Filming will be going on!
And Tim/Pops... THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH for reporting about The Number 11 for Trent. Timmers, you were the only one I figured would be home!
Can you skip school tomorrow??? (PALEEZE, POPS?) Come on down to Mom Press!
who's gonna go out today
Frog Pond?
Crazy - was just thinking the same think - heading off now - check back later tonight and we'll plan where to head out to okay?
Yes, that was me--black hat and headphones. I did see a lady and child doing nice work in the play area--I stayed away, since it easier to dig blindly in loose snow!!!!
Okkies! Ill talk to ya later than Elsea
BEE!!!!!!!!
I wasn't diggin yet just looking around and freezing
Wait - what time is it down at the PP? 11.... I think I might be able to handle that
Hidden Falls:
1. In one of the clues it said out of sight aka Hidden
2. Then it said Circular thinking well Start with the first C then go in a circle to the I then keep drawing that circle to the T, then to the Y. You get CITY.
3. Hidden Falls LINKS the CITY of St Paul to Minneapolis\
I remember from a few years ago i was looking in Hidden falls park and i came across 2 statues, does anyone know of whom they are of?
What do you all think of this?
Ok well no one is answering my question so im going to go now buh bye :)
well DD what did you think at Valley?
sorry, beck, didn't catch the ?. peaceful bird, in the box yesterdays clue.
GREEN! If it's found in the Fpond, I just might die!
byob, methinks scribe and i have dibs on it being at the pond. we called it there first.
maybe the med is inside of a dead dove
I like Valley. I also think that despite it's small size overall, digging is going to be tough there. Toward downtown, it is just a flat expanse--very fiew landmarks. If we get to the "paces" clues, it will still be tough!
No...actually Bee called it about what....3 or 4 years ago? He's always in the frog pond.
now, terry, that doesn't count.
it's not so small that it wouldn't be there- did you go down to see the tables Allison was talking about?
Green! I almost hit you at the Capitol today! Stay outta the middle of the street woman!
Bee, it wasn't dug out. I called for you! Will you Bee here Bee? To Bee in the Documentary?
Hidden Falls:
1. In one of the clues it said out of sight aka Hidden
2. Then it said Circular thinking well Start with the first C then go in a circle to the I then keep drawing that circle to the T, then to the Y. You get CITY.
3. Hidden Falls LINKS the CITY of St Paul to Minneapolis\
I remember from a few years ago i was looking in Hidden falls park and i came across 2 statues, does anyone know of whom they are of?
What do you all think of this?
Yes, Leah, I went. I see what he means. In fact I saw him.
Scribe, was that YOU? In the small, dark car? Right in front o'the Capitol???? But that woman had dark hair!
Well, "hi!"! I had no idea that was you!!!
I just got back I went threw every park that has been named on here there is nobody digging anywhere???
I think I saw him too- but I've never met him before, he just matched the description he said he would
that's because we're all here talking and not digging lelej :)
Yes, I have MOST of Fri off, thinking about frogs and such. What's wrong with Bee? The cap sounds good also, not sure on hidden?
BEE!!! These clues should Bee smacking Bee right in the face!
Will you bring your cape you got at Chair-O-Kee?
Now that is funny Scribe
BEE!!!! This izz too good to Bee true!!! Will Ittiz make it in????
Hidden Falls:
1. In one of the clues it said out of sight aka Hidden
2. Then it said Circular thinking well Start with the first C then go in a circle to the I then keep drawing that circle to the T, then to the Y. You get CITY.
3. Hidden Falls LINKS the CITY of St Paul to Minneapolis\
I remember from a few years ago i was looking in Hidden falls park and i came across 2 statues, does anyone know of whom they are of?
What do you all think of this?
raider are you asking your question or hitting refresh?
I sure wish the next clue was coming out now instead of 3 hours from now.
It could be in Prince's tape case that also has his song "When Doves Cry"
raider- are you a CDH raider?
i'm with ya, ter. all the caffeine in the world, even if i were main-lining it is gonna have trouble keeping me awake.
Ares--maybe a CD case would fit better?
Leah yes i am, Im a senior
who would you be?
too bad for you
I think ittiz a park other than Hidden Falls.
lol leah who are you?
dave, i think you're talking to annette. how thick is the med anyway? anyone know?
If you look around the PP "deal" or newspaper, you find a link about Prince's Purple Rain album.
a 95' Grad
LOL Green! I honked and waved!DUH!
I think ittiz not Hidden Falls, Phalen, Highland or Como.
Why would anyone go to a school named Cretin? That's just insulting.
I also drove by MLK quite a few times today and honked a friendly little tune!
Makes some people very nervous......
Someone posted days/months ago about construction in the parks. I've been tracking that variable for years....on an Excel spreadsheet! Anyways, there is a sig corr with this variable, Cher, Herr, Pha, Como. I've always looked at this thingy from the "city" view, jeez, come on, we actually destroy things in St. Paul, can we? So people are gonna wreck it anyway, let's hide it there?
I had no choice- I wouldn't recommend the school to anyone!!
Yeah but you outta your mind........
I agree with you green the clues could fit hidden falls But after digging there last night I got the feeling it wasn't there, no that I said that I'm sure tonights clue will be about the river or a water fall
really? Im the # 5 ranked golfer in state this year
Leah,I went to Hill-Murray! Talk about a silly name!
sup all??
Anyone interested in pooling resources? I plan to hit most of the parks discussed tomorrow morn. I haven't gone out of the way to meet anyone, and haven't made any appearences at McGov's, although I'm sure I've seen some of you at the Parks the last few years.. Let me know if interested....the laptop w/wireless remote might come in handy...
HILL MURRAY? Oh man *shakes head* LOL
Bee - I have my own Excel spreadsheets I have started to try to make this easier, it takes time to input it 1st tho.
Hello Freinds! Well It took 5 days to get re registerd (lost my pass word) any ways I can't get clue #2 off my mind, "for the hunt in our wonderfull town" St paul has not been a town since 1840,I'm focucing on the down town area, Kellog,HarrietIsland and ? any opinoins? Valley is to risky for some thing to occur to one of the children.
well at least i can understand hill and murray, scribe. i truly hope there wasn't someone who actually had the name cretin.
what do you guys think of the clues... do ya still think it leads to HF?
You still go to a school named after a condition characterized by severe mental retardation.
and one more thing, scribe, where i went to high school, we had another name for h-m. etiquette prevents me from typing it here =)
who goes to CDH...?
oh... IC... Raider golf
I had the same name Ares!LOL! I wasn't a big fan of the place!
Good Ole Cretin Derham Hall, god what a great school
What is up with the mental retardation? I don't get that. Can someone tell me why they think it's at Hidden Falls and Battle Creek and Highland? And Iriving?
I feel bad for you Raider- that you feel that way
I was at Irving last night
I think it's at the Science Museum
I don't think Irving- but I don't know why either
AB-Yes, I know. Been here since the start (97?), just trying as usual. There are no trends.....
HEY, don't be dissin Cretin!!
j/k i don't really care
diggindude we had a name for cretin, too :)
you must have gone to that poor school also DD
Where is everyone headed tonight?
New Daddy, I do *not* think ittiz at Hidden Falls.
I'm goin back out to Valley,all the clues fit and it feels better than anyplace I've been. I too have thought about how practical it is with the school and all...But what the heck if I'm gonna dig up the wrong park at least this year it's not Linwood!
CDH is an awesome school...well, the people at least. where did you go LL?
Hey Scribe are going tonight or waiting for the next clue
CDH
Green? Don't leave Bee alone out here in this new venue! Wow....who are these people? Pardon Bee for all the rest, ittiz Been a while!
Last year at this time and clue #5 the 'Cooler had the location pretty nailed down..what's up ith this year?
OIC, why did you hate it so much...
I have nothing to say about schools. I went to Harding LOL They didnt even do a good job on teaching me how to spell very well
I'm goin Leah around 9:30ish,it'll just be nice to have some action!
Bee - You have all this stuff in excel?
Where is Valley to look it up on Mapquest...
Just A BAD place to be!!!
we had an even worse name for harding, crazy. i went to johnson. :)
Jackson & Uni
Leah,it's better than Palace!!!:)
LOL ares! How long ago did ya go there?
Mt. Airy and Jackson is the Valley Rec Center. Right near Franklin Magnet school
Come on Scribe that wasn't nice!!-
class of 95.
LOL ares! How long ago did ya go there?
Not long enough......:)
Ares. Did you know like Matt Kepheart and kevin Bidon. all them hockey guys?
Hehe, I go to Tartan, the surburban ghetto school (at least that's where about three-fourths of the student's think they're from). But it says nothing about my character, so I'm cool.
Just razzin you Leah!LOL!
Scribe - my daughter and I were @ Valley this evening- good luck determining where to even start
LOL scribe! yeah St Paul schools not a good place to let your kids go to.
Green I must not have ben clear, I don't think it is there(Hidden Falls) either, but I never rule any park out, cause I am wrong so often..
As soon as the kids are asleep I'm going diggin. I may end up at PP for the clue, hope to see ya there.
TV-Yes, I'm a sick person. I live on stats, trends, outliers, it's a job thingy. GS updated 'to and fro' def today, made me lol.
Leah,me and my boys were out there today,they had fun on the playground and we went right in the middle of the field and had a nice relaxing dig!BTW,DD,that skittles wrapper?I found it first!:)
the hole you dug must be what my little fell in!!
I gave the boys hand held garden tools to dig with.Tonight my son asked for a 'real' shovel!
Ok, who typed Harding? Jeez, I still can't fill out a czeck correctly, or do the geography thingy....great edu, no?
once upon a time i knew matt, in fact, not only did he go to jhs, he also went to the same church as me.
Where you goin DD?
my daughter wanted to know how we were going to find anything w/o tools/shovels at all. LOL
Any thoughts on Marydale?
Ares! You went to church??? What church? The church of satan???LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!
Bee - may we always be to and fro!
Clues? Thoughts? Let's do this!
I had(past tense)many thoughts on Marydale,then I went out there today!
and...........
Here's my thought Bee- I need the 10k to help pay my NSP bill- so I can turn the heat up in this damn cold house!!
Bee - what brand is your sandwich in every can?
keyword, scribe, went :)
Your daughter's pretty smart,Leah! I told my boys that if anybody asks that we are lookin for pirate ballerinas.
So you're not a satanist anymore Ares?
Clue # 1 - In St. Paul
Clue #2 - Stay off golf courses and private property (old stuff) and don't annoy statues (new stuff)
Clue # 3 Circular linking is chain or chain link fencing.
Clue # 4 - Play - theater? playground? East and West - could be street, road, freeway, names???
Clue #5 a man of mettle and the thighy is hidden in a Dove something or another.
Yeah what can I say- she gets it from a mother that thinks the damn med is at Palace every year! LOL
Thanks for clearin that up Ter! It's crystal to me now!LOL!
Scribe--there is a railroad track running east/west through Marydale.
lolpmp scribe.
There was also the bank thing. Snowbank? Riverbank? Bank-bank? 1st Bank? Branch bank?
Hi Terry the kids are asleep!! off I go to dig. any last minute suggestions?? I will start a Beaver Lake then Phalen Prosperity and make my way to Valley what do you think
Can ya tell I live on the east side of town..
LL- No sheeeeeet! Wow, NSP. TB- Booooooo, gotta Bee boooo. Later gang, have to prep for the day off Fri and get a plan. I'm thinking Frog Pond....but I'm always thinking FP...I got a problem. TV and Green? Nitol. SCD's.
New Daddy - That's not what I'm thinking - but someone has to help eliminate parks!
Bee - What's your problem??
South Paul,Western runs east and west also.........I can name lots of parks and lots of tracks through or by lots of parks that run east and west......it's gonna take alot more than that to convince me,you have to twist everything to make it fit.I will admit there are some thing that make sense but I can say that same thing for about five other places.
Sorry, T, but I hate this point of the game!
Clue # 1 - In Mason City, IA
Clue #2 - Stay off golf courses and private property (old stuff) and don't annoy statues (new stuff)
Clue # 3 Circular linking is chain or chain link fencing.
Clue # 4 - Play - theater? playground? East and West - could be street, road, freeway, names???
Clue #5 a man of mettle and the thighy is hidden in a Dove something or another?
heeeheee!
So that's the problem!!!
You're not only in the frog pond - but you're in the wrong state!!!
no takers on the "pooled resources"... thought I would ask, likewise for tonight if anyone is interested. I have a feeling the next few clues won't detail the park, but where the medallion is located in the park.
TV-lol, and nitol. Maybe Bee see you guys again? Later....
PMP! Ares,I hope your gonna clean yourself up!
So....I would be willing to meet people tomorrow...not sure what time...either before 5pm or after 6pm.
Jeezzzz, can't beeelieve how much I've missed this! Nitol x3! Yust like old times!
the other alternative scribe is roflmao
I hate mayo,Ares.
laughing my a** off, scribe. and i hate mayo too
You and med-less have no butts anymore.Got it!
you guys are gonna be easy to spot
All dressed. Good luck to all, hope to se ya out there.. I still wear a white diaper on my blue jacket, if your diggin wear white and I'll say hi...
Hear that Ares! You should take some advice from Daddy on that diaper,it's always good to have one in case you need it.:)
no takers on the "pooled resources"... thought I would ask, likewise for tonight if anyone is interested. I have a feeling the next few clues won't detail the park, but where the medallion is located in the park.
Good Luck New Daddy!
GOOD LUCK Daddy!:)

Deja vue..........
thanx for the tip, scribe, i'll try to keep that in mind.
am i crazy or could it be AROUND rice park
Hi,
Clue #1 Just to cold to be digging!
Clue #2 Don't destroy, or we will find you, and you can pay for it?
Clue #3 Circular thinking and road repairs, better not be driving down a one way the wrong way.
Clue #4 East and west one way is always the wrong way.
Clue #5 Peace it together and the man of steel will save you
Thats what I'm here for Ares,that's what I'm here for. ::pats Ares on the head::
I'm with Maureen! I like it!
IT'S A BIRD,IT'S A PLANE!
Goo your crazy:)
Hey Maureen! Good noodling!
Scribe...Marydale: the "linking" could be MARYland ave and DALE st linked together to be Marydale. also, Foundry park nearby (fettle is forging medal); June: Rose avenue; there are some interesting named business nearby: "Jefferson Smurffit"(for real), Doody Mechanical (fettle again); some kind of Dairy Queen....
Why?
I know,South Paul,but I just can't figure the last clue in there or any of the others.I also have a firm belief we are not looking in a park per se this year,the would have said if we were.Also have a problem with the bank referrences there.
Goo,just cause I think I'm funny!:)
don't tell me that's the rest of the joke, scribe.
IF not in a park, what other places could it be? What does that mean in terms of searching ie: regional park, public land, state capital mall, etc...ideas?
I'm with you, Ares...
Hi everyone, just got up from my nap. First off it isn't at Valley. I think AW is puposely misleading us. Second, I was out digging at Como today, saw two other guys there. Let me know what you think about this; Churchill st. runs right into como and is a one-way. Isn't Winston Churchill a man of mettle?
Ares,we won't know until the rest of the hunt.
Disclaimer:Joke is subject to change. Scribe will not be responsible for any wrong park digging pertaining to the joke. Scribe is not responsible for joke being funny. No exchanges or refunds. People with kidney problems should not read joke. If you are taking insulin consult with your doctor.
Also that area would be around our deal, since they have lots of winter carnival activites there (actually they are located on the east picnic grounds)
TERRY VALENTINE>>>> Do you or did you work for Wilder?
Hey Angelic! Whatchew up to tonite?
SCRIBE>> Are you going to post the clue early tonight?
Angelic - Do you know me? Do I know you?
Angelic,I think I may go check out some parks and do a run to the PP tonight(if I don't get to tired).I'm gonna leave here soon.....wanna come along?
Call me if your up for it!:)
TERRY VALENTINE>>> I know a man that loves the color PURPLE. Do you?
