I don't think they have ever had such a pre-hunt video before, so we will find out!

Lower landing park

A bower is also either one of the two highest trumps (did I hear (im)peach?) in the card game 'euchre'. 
It is also a person who bows (connection to genuflect clue?) to show respect.

That was at Harriet Island in 1960.

I don't know that it is in their nature or that there is any precedent for just naming a street outright.

Could also be Pacific Ave that runs near Indian Mounds and turns into Plum street (plum-met from clue 6) at the bluff that overlooks BVNS.

I think it is just a visual rhyme. But they do like the word bower.

I was also thinking a water tower could be the water above. But why is the water grand? That may be the key to figuring out which water. If I stick with Phalen it could be a reference to Atlantic St. which runs both above and below the park on a map. There is a famous hotel called the Grand Atlantic, though perhaps not famous enough to be in a clue. Or maybe the Atlantic is just grand by itself?

They used the word bower two years ago when it was at Harriet Island.

I was also thinking Water (Street) is grand (roadway) to Harriet Island Park. Dr Justus Ohage (a surgeon) Blvd is there. Water below is river. Water up above? Not sure.

Maybe the three bodies of water need to be in line with Grand Ave?  Or “grand” could be a reference to the Mississippi?

where was the medallion the year it was in the heel of a rubber boot???  maybe I'm imagining things, but we seem to have a fair number of potential references to past hunts.....can't be sure since I seem to have lost my hunting reference books.

Water is grand= water street any thoughts?

It's weird that lower and bower don't rhyme unless you mispronounce one of them...

A water tower up above and the Mississippi River below? Highland park? Or, the cliffs/bluffs up above BVNS (lots of bowers here?) and lower (Lower Landing? Lower meaning below the site, as in the river?) If you take the line from previous clue (line three bodies water), you could infer that the site of the medallion also has water, but since you don't need rubber boots, it would be away from that water. Hidden Falls or Crosby Farm areas?

Not quite sure what to make of this one. You could probably take most any park and find something to construe as water "above" and water "below". A bower just means a shady place under some trees which could also be most any park. The word "bower" was used in 2008 when it was at Indian Mounds park. That clue also made a reference to things being high and low. I feel like "grand" might be important in determining which water is being referred to, but I'm not sure how yet.

Clue #8 Water is grand in our hunt's land Up above our site and lower. You won't need suit nor rubber boot If you walk amongst the bower.   Clue #7 If you’re in town, swing on down  To a park lit up some nights Before it gets hotter, line three bodies water And you’ll have it in your sites   Clue #6 Once at the summit, it did quite plummet Before it got to the bluff Starting and stopping, winding and hopping It will eventually lead to the stuff   Clue #5 We will protect each clue from the GRU Nyet hackers! Have you no shame? They may fix our elections, but we'll spark insurrection, If they try to interfere with our game   Clue #4 One patterned neat and trim, one salvaged life and limb Did the two cutters who lived down the way. Herringbones or sawbones? You decide which will play.   Clue #3 This hunt’s guarantor settles that forevermore Noodlers treasure noggins; keep that in mind. So doff your warm cap, study dog-eared map And genuflect in the presence of the find.   Clue #2 Though the times be quite peachy, we do so beseech ye, To venture out of doors for a romp As you traipse through the snow, your medallions aglow, Careful of what flora you stomp   Clue #1 There’s just enough snow and temperatures low To rouse us from our snoozing And hide the MacGuffin, no we ain’t bluffin, In a park of our very own choosing.   The Vikings are done, the Twins yet begun What excuse do you have to dawdle? Gather your kin, prepare for the win And be sure to bring a hot bottle  

I would have thought Upper or Lower Landing might have ranked higher on your list than Lilydale as far as unpicked parks go.

No one has picked Lilydale, so 10 on Lilydale. I don't think it is there though...Lol!
