It's going to be funny when the park is finally pinpointed - it's going to be decended upon like a locust plague!!

WW, I went through the Guide checking every street that touches every park, and Desoto was the one that made any sense as any form of transportation, at least as far as I could tell.

My gut instinct is that they would put it at Highland for the 50th anniversary, but can't match all the clues...Ford, Peace, open space

Beer....Medallion....$10,000.....Better Beer

My guess is Newell....I don't know why, but it is. I think they have a vendetta or something and they want us to suffer.

Like "think of traveling the old way again" as in our trips to Newell every damn day last year!

And "circular thinking" to be Wheeler street or the year '00 to "link" us to a park. Maybe link this years clues to last year's.

Just this wierd feeling in me i guess.

Tbones, there may be some. But the adults don't do it - generally.

Maybe it just takes being around here awhile and getting the feel for things. And being confident in one's take of the clues. Speaking only for myself, I can generally tell when I'm being fed a line. But I've been going thru this for four years.

I just ignore those I think are trying to throw me off. Bringing them to task only gives them what they want: attention. Let them do their damndest. I know what I know, I know what I don't know, and I go with my best abilities on figuring out the clues.

And most often times, I'm in The Frog Pond! LOL!!!

Me & my nephew the Undertaker where digging at Como and we watch a fellow treasure hunter collaspe in the snow. The paramedics came and took her away. Thankfully she seem to be standing when the medics got there. All the excitment and digging must have caused her to faint or have a seisure. Also someone in the park suggested that clue 5 about the man of steel could mean a Knight in shining armor. The guy was going to head to battle creek park because McKnight Ave goes by there. Any thoughts on this theory?

Night Digger:

I link Knight to having a relation to Harding High School. The only park very close though is Eastview, which does not fit the last two clues. The Battle Creek neighborhod, where I live, could fit, but so could every other major park in St Paul. If I was to say, the part of Battle Creek containing the caves down by Highway 61 would fit the best, but some stretches need to be assumed.

Oh crap, ya know what? Como looks better all the time. Todays clue - open space (fields at Como), off base (ball fields at Como), victorious one (Victoria street runs along the east side of Como park) riding around (caroussel at Como). I just don't like the too obscure thoughts on the man of steel/mettle thing

I'm not going to admit I don't know where it is. But that's what I don't like about this whole thing. Even if you figure out the park on clue #1, you're still not lkely to find it because you don't know where in the park to look exactly. It typically takes hundreds of people a couple of days of digging before any of them will find it.

Allison Wonderland: I mimic your thoughts EXACTLY about digging so far this year. I don't feel like doing it, but I feel like I should go somewhere. In past years, I at least felt like I had a reason to be in a certain park. Nothing's working for me this year. All I'm thinking is "big park." I should be a lot closer after seven clues.

Beer....Medallion....$10,000.....Better Beer

It seems like they are almost teasing us with these clues...

Like in clue #1 Last year at Newell our fate was most cruel,

Unfortunately the game ended too soon

Come now and prepare for a much tougher duel,

Keep on your toes or you'll hunt until June

  • The game ended much too soon *at Newell* so prepare for a much tougher duel? Tougher Clues for the same park???

    East and west can simply mean the east and west sides of the park...playground, b-ball courts, tetherball on the west.....and just a baseball field on the east...."stay off base"

    The man of mettle could simply be Pierce Butler again...."look for his name AROUND OUR DEAL"

    Another noodle about "off base" could be:

    The prize is at a place with lots of space

    Where riding around can be fun

    But you'll have to move off base

    If you hope to be the victorious one
