Doing a bit of research here...
From looking at the clues and the rhyme scheme, I'd say it's quite possible
we've had the same clue writer since 1994. Since then the treasure has been at:
- Highland
- Battle Creek
- Harriet Island
- Como
- Cherokee
- Conway
- Newell
- Como
I still suspect the cluewriter is from the Como Park area and has a
preference for the west side over the east side. Since they've been cluewriter
they've gone to the east side twice, (roughly) downtown twice, and the northwest
three times. It's been southwest only once and that was their first year. I
think they're going to feel the lure of going back to that part of the city. But
I don't think they're going to go back to Highland. I think they're going to try
a park they themselves have not done before this time. It's hard to come up with
fresh ideas for clues for the same park you've already done. With Como, it's big
enough that thye could just do a completely different part of the park. So what
else is down there? Hidden Falls. It was there in 93, but I think that was a
different cluewriter. And there are a lot of obscure places one could hide the
medallion if it turned out there wasn't going to be a lot of snow. And I can see
it being a hard place to search which might result in a longer hunt. And now
that I see it's only been there twice before, I'd say that's my official
pre-hunt guess.

Yeah Allison, I've been trying to analyze the clues, and I've been going
through the clues starting with 1990. And it seems like 1994 there was a new
clue writer.

I've already done through all the clues back to 1990 and tried to classify
them. I've got labels like "landmark within park, landmark outside/adjacent
park, medallion container, St Paul boundary reference". I would just need to
rework my classifications possibly a bit. I can throw out the 1990-1993 hunts
though afterwards.

Another thing I noticed is we can finally put the golf course debate to rest.
They mentioned golf course in each of the last three years, two years it was in
a park without a course and one year it was in a park that did have one. So
clearly the mention of avoiding golf courses is meant to niether suggest nor
deny that a golf course is part of the park, just that you should stay off of
them wherever you search.

Hmmm, here are some possibile categories:
Visible landmarks
Location markers (something that is physically near as opposed to just
visible)
Street names
Park name
Item Medallion is hidden in
General rules and limits (i.e. "St. Paul")
Park descriptions (describing the park itself like being near the fair or
having lots of space)

Yeah, that was one label/characteristic I noted. I think that may be from the
increased popularity of the hunt. Perhaps due to the success of the cooler chat
here

Allison, I did have a "street reference" label, as well as "park reference"
label for then they allude to the name of the park. The big thing for me is
distinguishing landmarks. I've distinguished so far by "landmarks within park"
and "landmarks outside/adjacent park". But I'm wondering if I want to make some
category for the clues where they refer trees or park benches or playgrounds, as
opposed to a unique landmark within a park

I was considering something like "park characteristics" versus landmarks.
Park characteristics being trees, playground, sledding hill, things of that
nature. And you've got mail :)

Good Morning everyone! If it is a big park the PP with most likely try to

I'm off to the frozen northern tundra until next Wed. Everybody have a great

planning on heading to the Govs during the hunt to noodle in addition to the
pre-dig gig? I'm all over that. Please keep me posted and enjoy a Quick Carlos

that 1st clue. I'll bet on 11:08 for the official release. You know how they can

This is more interesting:
Humans first came to Minnesota during the last ice age, following herds of
large game as glaciers melted. Long before the first Europeans arrived, Native
Americans from as far away as 1,000 miles came to make ceremonial pipes from
soft red pipestone carved from sacred quarries. The Pipestone National Monument
in southwest Minnesota illustrates how these quarries were and still are
used.
Five thousand years ago, humans made rock carvings of people, animals, and
weapons that can be seen today at Jeffers Petroglyphs in southwestern Minnesota.
These people also brought to Minnesota the idea of building earth mounds for
graves and sacred ceremonies. At one time there were more than 10,000 of these
mounds in Minnesota.

Perhaps this is fitting as the park is named for Edward Phalen (also spelled
Phelan) who made a land claim here during Minnesota's territorial days. A
soldier discharged from Fort Snelling, he was imprisoned but released as a
suspect in the city's first murder. In 1850, Phalen was indicted for perjury and
fled west. Does this help?

I stand corrected (but don't expect to stump me all the time) :)- I knew it
was an interesting story for the first murder in Minnesota-just got the
characters mixed up-
Phalen though did own Swede Hollow and I think it is a really great place to
hide the puck - they could use Phelan/Phelen clues for both Swede Hollow &

ah, FYI - about the Summit thing yesterday---
Summit park is 4/5 of an acre and has the monument for soldiers of the Civil
War.
It sounds like there are 3 parks in this vacinity? Nathan Hale is at Summit
Outlook. And then there is Portland Place & Point of View?

I hate the news. I never watch the news. I never
listen to the news. I never read the news. That's why I am here. I am here to
get away from the news. I don't need new news. I don't need gnu news. I don't
need knew news.

the right does most of the work and holds the drink steady and makes sure the

1882 I think at Wabasha between 4th & 5th
1905 current - designed by famous Cass Gilbert
