if anyone lives near case and earl can I tag along tonight? I bring my lantern and a shovel if you think I need to
I have my top choices. Highland, Arlington, Indian Mounds, Como (although I don't like it), Hidden Falls, Phalen.....
Hey, anyone looked at Marydale?
you know, some guy, i had looked at the lack of a comma before and got distracted! maybe you are some guy after all!
some how I don't think the shovel is necessary this year :-)
2k2...we are 4 sure going out to park(s) tonight- and getting the 11pm clue. cherokee a possibility? i just got home 20 min. ago and dont want to go over 2,100 new messages. please fill me in on ANY new developments :)
Hey, anyone looked at Marydale?
some guy- what drew you to hidden falls initially? is it just the park you are most familiar with?
where is Marydale? is it a smaller park?
well a lantern if anyone is hunting tonight and might happen to be able to swing by case and earl let me know my Aim name is eaglestar17@aol.com
Marydale is not big enough for more than 100 people plus nothing to exciting there.
Lot's of Indian Mounds talk, some highland, como, hidden falls chatter also going on
Alan, yes i liked marydale at the beginning, but with the mention of sleding hills, not looking as good, may still be a darkhorse
Fee wheres that? I just got back form driving all over the place, from Crosby & Highland to Como, Phalen & Mounds, between them I tried to find Newell but I coulnd't remember how to get there. Crosby had about 5 cars each with a person in them just hangin' around, Highland was nothing, Como was too big to notice anyone, same with Phalen, but I did go by and see some of you at 4pm at Mounds, about 4 peps gettin ready to dig dig dig.
I looked at Marydale last year
I'm off going to go home and then do some digging. Godd luck to you all, if you find 2 share one with me.
hmm. interesting. well 2k2, we are leaving for dinner at 4.30, so ill call lat-r and stop back in.
cya lat-r
the hubster has been noodling on indian mound...we hardly had any time to scout at hidden falls...i wish we weren't so busy right now...we didn't see any other hunters at the falls but there were taletell rake marks
Newell is by the fairgrounds, right on Pierce Butler between Wheeler and Fairview
some guy- what drew you to hidden falls initially? is it just the park you are most familiar with?
No I am not really all that familiar with any of the Parks. I Just see every thing going that way... We all will see things differently. I drove thru the parks a couple of times and That one seems to stand out most to me. The amount of trees and open space. The things I pointed out earlier.
Light a Spark-------Flintstones; Time to Kill--------Fort Snelling across the river; In and On the air---Radio waves from airport; Tide ---------------From the river; Brow---------top of a steep Hill
Just Noodling like the rest of you. Dont meen to be stuck on one park. Just my thoughts..........
guy its ok to be stuck on a park because I am totally stuck on IM
sure some guy...did not mean to accuse you of being 'stuck'...my thoughts keep going back to hidden too...i just know that i could build a very good case for Cherokee because i know it well...
noodle snoodle
Thats what makes it fun here... At the water cooler. Finding out why every one thinks what they do and if what they are thinking makes more sence.
For a mounds reference. Just below it is the StP airport, well one of the companies with a hanger below is labeled "Million Air", hence to on air is in the air.
I could make the same case for Highland I guess.
Light a spark______Horse shoes hittling the poles; Time to kill-------Highlanders The movie; In and on the air--------Disk Golf Tide------??????; Brow Disk golf course has a small valley between the trees and the road at hole 3
WHERE IS JAKE
Congratulations are in order then for the second one. I must have missed it..sorry. Sounds like you're a good daddy. Now they need a puppy to make the picture complete.
I'm pretty sure it's not at Indian Mounds.
Ares, I am grn_i_grl72 from the yahoo wonder land site.
I am from Wonderland hehe tell you right now from the lack of sleep i feel like i am from wonderland.
whats this echo thing, from the double 2 words?
Battle is back in the running for me. Highland I think might be out. Not exactly sure yet. I need to run out there and check in the daylight.
I missed 1100 posts exactly! I hope someone has figured it out...
Tim, start slogging, you've missed everything! lol
oh well
JAKE IS AT MOUNDS
I am thinking mounds too, but not to the point that I am going out there.
WHY ALL THE CAPS!?
WHY NOT
mounds park is where it is. It's due too be there. Besides alot of the clues fit.
is it 11pm yet???/
lol amanda. I started thinking mounds when they didnt exclude it b4 the hunt. clue 4 really works as well
is steve troskee in here
in and on the air = indians mounds park
Care to explain your theory, Tim?
why does clue 4 fit mound?
seems to fit a lot of parks
How does Clue 4 work at Mounds, Tim?
I can't really fit it anywhere.
in and on the air is referring to the frisbee golf course at highland
very probable Medaking, but we were at Highland yesterday and it didnt seem very probable around the disc course. Also, it was very near the disc course a few years ago.
IN the air- airport/planes. On the air- I hear there is a radio tower.
frost- is this a word game? i'm starting to see it but i don't get it
theres a freaking radio/tv tower of some sort everywhere in this city.
im new here... hhmm should be around in downtown st. paul, mound park, cherokee park is circle...
what are the other parks in question now
or rather frothy
Tim, there's over a dozen places with radio/tv towers, many of which are near the airport. What else ya got?
true
initially when i saw :
in and on the air= indian mound
thought perhaps it was an annagram, but i can only make indian
Sorry Tim, I just need some more convincing. How do you feel about Phalen? lol
tower is near small airplane with light spark
it seems like last night people were saying this clue gave it away, but no one has posted a convincing theory
What does everyone think about Downtown?
yeah, i've been thinking about that little airport too, but have not been scouting yet...i can't decide how much attention to give to the spark clue
Also thinking about fireworks DT, Mississippi, anything else fit well?
"in and on the air"
Anagram = Another Indian
This clue hasn't given anything away. They've got us running around like our heads are on fire and our asses are catching. Pardon the expression.
ah! i got it! hey, hey, ok, ok= hokey, hokey! this is a false clue...snicker snicker...time to do the dishes!
nalman that rocks!
Is It just me or are the clues a little less imformative this year
But, I still think it refers to a radio/tv tower
clue #4 sure seems to be a baseball clue to me....from the first time i read it, til now, I cant it it off my brain....
In and on the Air is still just a reference point to help get us to the right park
Are there search lights at any of the parks...for special events??
say hey willie mays lots of baseball jargon but i think so every year.but look at the clues...just a thought.
MAYBE SPARK MEANS A BONFIRE OR TO GRILLE OR EVEN SOME PARK WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE FIREWORKS
not that I know of but there is an Airway Beacon at Mounds
I see it this way:
There is no snow to speak of.... There was no snow forcast really before the hunt.... therefore, to make it a good hunt, it must be in one of the large parks, cuz it will be hard to keep hidden.....
The prize itself may indeed be in the air this year, Up I mean...
in clue 3 if u take "show that carNIvAl huNters prIDe" take the upper case u can spell indian "aNd yoU May trip Over the gooDS" you can spell mounds
sorry i know my bad
...and also, i believe it will be some walking distance from a parking area....(far & wide) reference.
Beautiful outside fireplace at Highland
Passing thought tower at IM light is in and on the air. seen from BC looking up
if im not mistaken battle creek has a lighted trail
next question......
are there any parks with statues of lions or a visible clock???
landmark center what about rice park in the city??? where ice sculptures usually are????
"Hey,Hey" we're the Monkeys, Monkey Bars???????
the monkees are playng at a casino heres a strech maybe theres a billbord stating that or u are to think of that and think indian
The casino loves to put billboards on 61 but dont know how far up they go
fun noodle...
Evenin Sams...:)
Wait.. hey,hey,hey.. it sound like prison by the river.. ok, ok, ok .. behavoir.. does that make sense?
oh a thing to look for for indian mound park;;; supposally the band of indians there were part of HOPEWELL??? just for future clue refence i cant find anything for it yet
There's no way they could expect a billboard to not be moved.
Dave???? I am confused
Isn't there a park near the saint's stadium?
Good Evening!
I've managed to slog some during the day. Doesn't look like anyone has the park pegged yet, but favorites are starting to emerge. I bet tonight's clue will help.
New Daddy - Gotta tell ya....some of your posts had me LOL at work today. And for the record, I can't think of a park that one couldn't see something that could be a radio/tv tower somewhere in the distance. Seems there's always at least one when we've been out digging.
If the date of the monkees is way out they can kinda figure and even ask about it and mabe even call the company and ask when the sign would come down I bet the City knows about the signage
on the air and in the air.....old ski jump at BC???????
I agree Ter. I think #4 was meant to orient us to a specific part of a park. But the park is still to be named.
on the air and in the air.....old ski jump at BC???????
jim, sorry im clumsy im new, maybe im wrong
Nice to see you again Terry! Just got back from a dog sledding/ice fishing trip and trying to catch up on the noodling. Could fair and game mean that darn baseball thing again? But this time it's withing the baselines?
who thinks they wouldnt put it back at Newell? god it all fits pretty well Ahhhhhh who am I kidding nothing fits
I'm stickin to the idea that "on the air and in the air" means radio or tv waves
any thoughts on the old ski jump at BC
Just have it narrowed down to neighborhoods at this point....Como,Midway,St.Anthony.
I don't know anything about the old ski jump at BC. Tell us more.
any thoughts on the old ski jump at BC
Jim you sound like my brother but insert "Cherokee" where you said Newell (every year!). One of my treasure hunting partners says Newell (every year).
you know reading how much trash it has been found in over the years, do you think the city is just trying to get us to pick up the parks?
Newell fits ok but I can't get past the tide thing....??
Think we'd get a tax break then Heather?:)
the old ski jump at BC can be seen from 94 I think I know it used to be there. but I just cant see where on the air and n the air fits and with all the talk of ski competition there I am trying to stay away from that one
lol Heather! I picked up half a dozen pieces of garbage last night, just on the off chance. Took them all home and threw them away.
I think I have gone through all the parks in St.Paul today and they have all looked good at one point but then been shot down for some reason or another
No BC, if you've noticed....the last several years, the parks in which the teasure was hidden have been immaculately clean in my opinion,....remember Conway park......not 1 piece of anything on that ground..
If you take White Bear Ave. South until it ends, there are 3 streets that take you around the block. A street, B and C If you walk in from WB ave. you will see the large cement blocks that used to support it. there are also stairs that lead to the bottom.
yeah, i've taken home trash too...makes me hesitant to take my daughter hunting...
now could the hey,hey, ok,ok, be a signal to look for doubles in the clue?
on the air and n the air could be far out there.. remember far and wide
Hi everyone! Just got back from scouting. It's not at St. Anthony. No woods (a few trees) and no hills whatsoever.
Dalliance....you should have just listened to me and saved yourself the effort!
time & tide...... anyone have any ideas about the 'Time" part???? I think it will prove crucial...
Mk kk...the coin is in Iris park. Where else?
Can anybody tell me quick how is Mounds park at night. Safe or not. I have to take my son to swimming lessons.
I was at BC today and saw a big speaker for announcing that still stands at the top of the old ski hill. "On and in the air"
I know, Guide.
However, I have gained tremendous insight via my trip to another park. I mean TREMENDOUS.
OK, I'm with you so far. I see A,B & C. It's hard to tell, it looks like those are not in the park technically. Just outside zones 2&3 if I'm looking the same place you are.
Snow mommy...come on? Any park at night?
Hopefully my car will make it all the way there and still have air in the tire.
I was at BC today and saw a big speaker for announcing that still stands at the top of the old ski hill. "On and in the air"
Listen up, Heads. I have figured out the phrase "Look for something in and on the air."
someone noodled earlier about time and tide being old man river (missisippi)...that narrows the parks down
We're heading out. We have some chores to take care of, dinner to have, and some scouting to do.
See yaz all later!
Tremendous? Ok Dalliance...we shall see.
bye TV
are you going to share with the class my dall?
what about Langford?
I was at Crosby. What is something both IN and ON the air? An ANCHOR. A news anchor is on the air, and at Crosby, there are many dry-docked boats with their anchors in the air.
You heard it here first: Crosby.
good point, time is clock in downtown and tide is river..hhmm im going get it medallion!
I was at BC today and saw a big speaker for announcing that still stands at the top of the old ski hill. "On and in the air"
So your saying I shouldn't go check it out after my husband gets home from class? If anyone else is thinking of going let me know. It would be around 9:00pm. I've got to go!!!!! I'll be back later.
Hey THG, I wasn't trying to annoy you this afternoon. But you were gone b4 I could respond. The east side of Phalen is definately a St Paul park south of Larpenteur Ave. Whether it is considered St Paul north of Larp. is up for debate. I just thought it would be humorous if they specifically targeted an area that was not included in your book. 'Cause you know they've got your book...
Good Dalliance...I'm not sold yet.
does any one think keller
Keller is in Maplewood i am sure
keller is in maplewood
time, clock, downtown?
No harm Frosti. I know what you mean.
A game to play... in and on the air...
Hockey - you can play air hockey
Share the wealth with me when my insight leads you to the treasure, dear friends.
Besides...I don't have the east side of Como in the book either.
Guide, I'm telling you: Get the shovel!
NOt so quick Dall.
how many people canI get to rent a limo wiht me and make a partyout of this we can go on tour or something and hash all this out in the ride
where is Crosby?
I'se be waitin for the "Bing" clue, before I head down there.
Snow Mommy looking for hunters to go along?
so what park we headin to steve? c'mon! you wrote the book!
hey hey ok ok...in and on the air= repeating another indian?
i'm in a rut
Oh yeah "in and on the air"
Anagram = Another Indian
as in Cherokee??? or still at indian mounds?
Hey where do I get a guide?? when do they go on sale?? before Christmas??? thats gonna have to be on my wishlist.. I saw somebody selling them at Newell the year I was there should have bought it then I suppose they are updated every year though
I never hunt Liquor Lady;)
it was at cherokee so recently
Jimbo...that was yours truely. Green always gives me a hard time for that marketing approach.
yeah steve cuz we all know your the hider! :)
So what croner ya working this year? HaHa
Exactly, Liquor Lady...now I'm going to have to erase all of your memories of this. I have to remain stealth.
I am going to dig at Crosby tonight! There's a cleared are beside the pavilion, down the slope from a wooded area. From there, you can see the boats in the air.
wah? steve who?
My dalliance when are you going and could I maybe tag along I bring a lantern :) and some snack money to just not to many snacks
I wouldn't Dall. Sides, Ian says theres some creeps down there.
Don't base it all on the "anchor" theory, Dall.
"Look for something in and on the air" = Million Air, an airlines at Holman Field below Mounds Park. As of now thinking there, but for more hints besides this one.
Steve...I wanna talk about advertising in 3rd edition.
I'm taking a bodyguard. And, we're also going to check out Indian Mounds.
FYI: I am off St. A. Merriam looked ok, but it's teeny and no real wooded area. The northern entrance to Hidden is open, but the southern entrance is gated with a sign that says "Closed for the season."
Send me your idea Ian.
bodyguaed how many I be one for you got a group going?
I agree on all of that Dall.
Is it half $10000 without a button? And it's too late to buy one right?
wow steve, if you can get a bunch of people to advertise in your book they would end up takin care of the cost !
THEHUNTERSGUIDE....YOUR THOUGHTS??? I.MOUND??
I'm still comfy with my pick from days ago. I went there with my dog on Monday.
Does anybody think McMurray?
I'm off. Later????????
I'll have to check w/the owner and see if I can put one in there too steve!
I'm out . . . will report back.
Steve E-mail me tell me where to get the book.... or some info on it anyway Jimcasper194@aol.com
Oh My god I dont think McMurray has been mentioned at all today Why Not??? this is a good thought or it just set my mind to work
Dall- Marley King had crosby as his pre hunt pick. Check out his site!
http://www.kingscommons.8m.com
crosby is desolate...and it has never been there...a huge park...with homeless peeps in it
Ok I need a hunting group tonight for a lift, anyone going? like after clue is published? I would really like to tag along I live off case and earl
I am gonna be at the PP @ 11 anyone else planning on it??
Randy that's what I thought too when I checked Crosby out earlier today.
think about it, Randy...
what will those guys think about clowns with shovels??
LMAO ! It would be great !
I mean really ...Crosby is the only park I wouldn't wan to be in by myself after midnight,,,,
IAN you have a point....maybe we could join them at their campfire to warm up!!
It could be Mcmurray because It is right by the state "fair" and the "tip" of the space needle is visible from there. The "time and tide" thing could be refering to the como pool which is near there. I dunno for sure but it's a possibility.
randy this is hiya's wife donna..he told me to tell you that we are going to go out after the next clue tonite
Okay another question??? what time does the new clue come out?? is it faster to go to the PP and get it or wait on here for it? when would it get here? Oh and after its found I am going to have another hunt. I will give you clues to the new guy writing these clues and when you find him/her bring it to me....
sven, anything like a radio tower or somthing like that over there?
donna...do you guys want to meet at the pioneer press??
want to swing by case and earl on your way to the PP? I can wait on the corner
I'm putting in a plug for Steve's book. It's a must have.
I dunno but I could go check it out later.
hold on let me ask him "K"
k,,,donna
eaglestar...I would but I may only be out for the clue...unless I get a revelation....if you get downtown...I am sure you could hook up with someone
randy he still wants to go to bc right after the clue 5 if it still fits... do you want to meet there?
well guess if anyone knows they will go hunting tonight and can swing by case and earl I will bring my lantern and the brain ready for thinking
DOnna...I am going to get the clue at the PP so i can decide if I want to go there...(BC) I know what you are driving tho,,,so if I go to BC I will find you!!
cool
Ian...what you thinking??? Seriously
wait how do you know what i'm drivin
donna...green ranger black pinstripes...me blue vw jetta
Hi all back to the noodlin' how are we doing so far? I like I.Mound any one else feel the same way Spark=Burns Tip=Pt Douglas Air=Holman far & wide=Mississippi So mind bogglin
This may have been mentioned, but the only thing truly on and in the air would be a pilot. On the air with the control tower and in the air. My thinking then would be Mounds.
I see that everyone thinks that today's clue is about an echo, but does anyone else think that it may be a cheer......i.e., a college cheer????? (Hey, Hey, what do you say???) I was thinking College Park. It is by the Fair grounds too.
good spin TTK
aaron...any hills and woods there?
ok randy if you know that then predict the park its in......randy thats scary
Donna...your hubby told me!! really he did
Hi all - This is my first writin' here so I have two things to say 1.Just wanted you all to know in the Cooler that you got a nice plug from Sany on KQRS this morning. All your "noodlin" ideas I read here were mentioned on the show...oh wait ... we don't want the whole world to know where it is ...do we? UM never mind. Note to Sany, shut up! LOL and 2. I wanted you all to know I have been in the hunt for three years and think of you all here as friends, even though I don't even know ya - but I laugh with ya all and your great ideas. And I thank you for a good time, every year. But now a question: Where is the dang thing? I went out (again) looking. And no, did not find it. Note to self: Keep looking, cause it ain't in the keyboard. Thanks all for the great time EVERY year! You keep me going. : )
Talking about the echo thing, if you happen to watch a lot of military movies, notice that when sending messages they say them twice, so I was also thinking about the Minnesota Army National Guard hanger accross Holman from Mounds.
Isnt there a college by Mounds Park too?
ooohhh.....sh*t...you scared me
metro state is by mounds
Here are thoughts on BC:
"Or just trek up and down every hill, Work your brain, your legs, it will be fun"--lots of hills and ski trails
"If you have some time to kill"--battle
"Time and tide"--near Mississippi, or Longfellow St.
"fun and slide"--big sledding hill, or water slide
"Down the hill, far from the woods"--sledding hill slopes away from woods
"We're game to play But give us a tip -- be fair!"--baseball fields
"Look for something in and on the air"--planes in air from airport, Point Douglas Road refering to Paul Douglas on TV
Any thoughts? Anyone else want to do a rundown of their fav. park??
what about Mounds park academy I know its not a college but any noodlin toeards that??? JeanoooooL nice to hear from ya I am new to the cooler to but I think we are all together here until it gets going I have been searching for this meddallion since I can remember Iam only 29 now but I think its my year HaHa dont we all it keeps us going and the people here are keeping me sane (did i say sane)
metro state is by mounds
nobody is considering Langford???
Mounds park academy in maplewood off of larpenteur
I see that everyone thinks that today's clue is about an echo, but does anyone else think that it may be a cheer......i.e., a college cheer????? (Hey, Hey, what do you say???) I was thinking College Park. It is by the Fair grounds too.
KH tell us about langford
welcome jean.
Mounds Park Academy is near Hayden Heights park
Mounds park academy in maplewood off of larpenteur
metro state is by mounds
am not feeling the medallion at Crosby or Highland.. not even Battle Creek ,yet. Maybe at Cherokee some small park that it hasn't been at in over ten years.
patriotism!!!!!!!
langford page 46 thg
Okay thats it if anyone is planning a battle creek park trip I want to go to give me a lift on the way :) I will even tag along over to the PP if anyone wouldn't mind coming out my way. Sorry to be such a pest. Oh yeah I will come ready to do some thinking.
langford actually looks great KH
I was at Langford today and not much for hills nobody else there. looks like someone else had the same idea earlier.
my hunch about all the "hill" mentioning in the clues. Well maybe the Cluewriter isn't even hinting towards actual hills, maybe he/she is speaking of a street such as HILLSIDE AVE .. by Langford.. you can also see a radio tower from there.. I am not sure which one. it would be just like them to hide it in a small park again, too.
but far from the hills could be far from hillside ave
awesome KH
Eaglestar...do you have a curfew??
what's goin on
randy, are you on here all day! Wow!
nope I can stay out for a while I am 20 I would say so I don't get the dogs pissed off and barking when i get home maybe 2-3 a.m at the latest
exactly!
