It is due to be at either Highland or Battle Creek.....are they officially located in St. Paul?



CSsurf - 05:25pm Jan 22, 2002 CST (#12380 of 24916)  Mark Reply

Battle creek just seems like as good a place as any to kill time until we get some more specific clues.

We Thuggin Rollin on Dubs all up in the club ridin like bud we in dis hunt runnin for the medallion I am the Stallion Cause I know where this thing is at, Its at Highland Park this here beat is phat. Ive got sin, but the water cooler gets the win!

Well thats five names now that have been hacked into, I hope this one doesnt. Anyways here is why I think it is highland.....

What does Time and Tide have in common? "High" High Time, High Tide. High Time is another way of saying high noon. Its where the sun is the highest point of the day. High tide is the highest water level. Which means what is the highest point in St Paul? The old Water Tower in Highland Park hidden in a knitted hat.

I didnt mean look for it there, Im just saying the highest point in st paul is the old water tower. And youd want to stay away from the sledding hill because that is on the golf course. It all makes sense...wouldnt you all agree?

Do any of the St. Paul Parks do outdoor Shakespeare festivals? That could be the "knit your brows" reference. Although if there is a Longfellow Street near BC, then I think BC is rising on my list of favorites.

What happened to the other parks - Could you'all make your cases for Highland, Hidden Falls and Battle Creek? They all would work because....well... right now my front yard would work. Does anyone have anything other than hunches?

FINALLY!!!!!! I hope this works. I've been trying to post for over a year now. I figured out that it's our stinking old computer. My husband brought his lap-top home and WOW it works. I'll leave everyone a quick message and then I'm going back out to dig. This afternoon I was at Phalen (wrong). I don't think it's there any longer. However, the sand was so easy to dig in. It isn't frozen at all. That would have been a great hiding place. Then it was off to Battle Creek, Highland, and Cherokee. I'm stumped. I think I need another clue. Does anyone think that Tide could be the Tide soap? I'm probably hung up on soap, huh! I'll try posting again, but if you don't hear from me, it's not because I'm not with you in spirit. I read all of your postings. Keep up the great work! This is from the crazy lady from Como, last year. Two in a row, is my mission and goal!!!!!!!!

think the sacred ground argument is good for ruling out indian mounds though it was my first choice..hasn't been used since '87 so there's probably a PC reason for that.

They put in it clay and grass sometimes...

but not underground, maybe under ice.

What does Time and Tide have in common? "High" High Time, High Tide. High Time is another way of saying high noon. Its where the sun is the highest point of the day. High tide is the highest water level. Which means what is the highest point in St Paul? The old Water Tower in Highland Park hidden in a knitted hat.

I didnt mean look for it there, Im just saying the highest point in st paul is the old water tower. And youd want to stay away from the sledding hill because that is on the golf course. It all makes sense...wouldnt you all agree?

Ladi, I don't know what to think. Definately think "highland" is part of the make-up of the park: either has it, doesn't have it, or is the name of the park! But I can't figure out which!

Howdy, Carl.

I'm with you, Rush. I'm so tired and CONFUSED. I get so damn frustrated... I put blinders on my mind so that I keep it not only open, but so that I don't over noodle the clues.

But, I can see ssssssooooo much in ANYTHING!!!! IT DRIVES ME CRAZY!!! These ideas just keep popping into my head!

Like... You know there's a Pearl Street, don't you? And there's a park by it, tho now I can't remember which one.

"Purl" is the opposite of knit...

Ladi, yes The Cooler is the place to share info, discuss the clues, noodle together, talk about The Hunt. However, no one has to give up their secrets if they don't want to. Some of us do, some don't. Ya just gotta go with the flow.

I think they may have had quite a bit of flexibility with the clues, especially like the wording of the first one...theres snow, its cold, winters FINALLY here... That small fact only occurred very recently. Perhaps the medallion is hidden extra well, very well cloaked to blend into the surroundings.

See I just dont think that. I think it is totally unfair to the people that share their info on here. I also think it is a bad business decision. You could have info I want and I could have info you want.

Rushmore....it is also a very large park. If I recall last year they gave the park up on the 4th clue. Now that we have a dumbass for a clue writer why not give it away on the 3rd. Highland is much bigger than you actually think. It says to stay away from the sliding hill. Well that of course is on the golf course. It all makes sense!



CiCi - 06:40pm Jan 22, 2002 CST (#12554 of 24916)  Mark Reply

Rushmore- I'm not excluding it I guess I'm just thinking of the first clue where they say it is in a park in St. Paul. I checked out past clues and some say that is located in Ramsey county so that gives you a wide range of parks......just noodling I guess..

Ladi, we all gotta do what we feel to be best and proper.

Man, I cannot see MomPress putting The Puck in Battle Creek. The City of St. Paul is giving the international x-country ski race their full support, and that's almost a direct quote from the Web site I found last nite.

There is no way they're going to encourage folks digging up the ski paths.

Say Green: Even if I were to ace it from LV...or St. Paul for that matter, you know the odds of actually finding it are still ridiculous. But I like where the hunt is going...anticipating tonight's clue very much, don't don't expect to be certain until Saturday night.

Now, I don't either. You know, with all of the activities/renovations they are really reducing the number of eligible/likely parks that it will be in.
