Wright Winger, I think the -acks are just for rhyming. They needed to refer to a smoke stack and the rest just rhyme. Although track may mean RR tracks. I guess I have to say I'm on the Mounds bandwagon. I was there last night and everything seems to fit.
Guy, the medallion is about 2" in diameter, round and blue translucent plastic. (like a small hockey puck?) It has imprints with Winter Carnival stuff on it. I've never seen it, but I've heard about it. It used to be metal apparently, but people were then just going out with metal detectors.
I'll be waiting too, Jenny. I agree. The clue fit a couple of parks. Mounds and Cherokee are the strongest links so far, I believe. Funny, I saw a lot of posts saying there isn't a sliding hill at Mounds. I saw people sliding last night from the beacon down Mounds Blvd. You could see the First Bank 1, the Capitol dome, the beacon "to guide you" etc. I figure it's out there somewhere!!
Good point, Jenny! I bet they wouldn't put it in an Altoids can for that very reason. Good deduction! Alas, people aren't expecting to have to find metal....
Mounds Park is dead, just got back...altoids i out becasue of the metal box. Not sold on Mounds but going there again anyway, city streets, streets named after cities maybe...montreal, duluth, atlantic...none by Mounds but just a thought!

I hate to confuse the issue but it still could be at Highland. I thought the smoke stack clue eliminated highland until I drove thru there about an hour ago on Montreal and could see the NSP smoke stack very clearly and right there was also a track and field track and kids slidding by the two water tower domes next to the indoor ice rink which is a nice place to play in the winter.
it seems to me that, the harded the clues for which park, the smaller the park. Last year it was very easy to see it was in Como, since it was such a big park....
You all have nice points but with the clues we've got it is just to hard to pinpoint. It could be Indian Mounds, Highland, Sylvan, Hazal, Phalen, Cherokee, they all fit the clues. I say that clue #7 better say loud and clear what park this thing is in or it will have more people than just me mad!
There have been a lot of comments about the word Rosebud. Just something to think about but the burial mounds in Mound are believed to belong to the Sioux and there is a Rosebud Sioux tribe. Makes it sound like Mound Park doesn't it.
Good point with the views Jenny, but there is little or no place for kids to play, which was mentioned in 1/3 of our existing clues. It also lacks city streets, as do some of mine.
Don't forget, the Capitol is a dome too. That can be seen in even more parks!
And what do you think about "Rosebud"? Some say it talks about a sled in the last line of an old movie(pointing to a park with a sliding hill). Others say that it is referring to a Indian Reservation in S. Dakota(meaning INDIAN Mounds Park). Still more say it is referring to Andy Van Dyke's middle name(pointing to a park on Van Dyke Street). This "rosebud" thing is what is holding me back.
Q-ball, you don't KNOW where it is, you just think you do. You might spend all your time at the Wrong park. Then again you might find it before we know what park it is at.
I'm thinking that possibly "you'll have to crack our code"..that it's possibly in a cracker jack box or a cracker box, etc...Doesn't matter, though. I'd check it all no matter how big or small.
hi there does anyone know if it has ever been hidden at a rec? Also I was wondering if mounds park is out? For a last thought does any one think that the stack clue is telling you it's not near a stack? It does say DON'T blow your stack. Just wanted ideas

hey mary tell ron i can also talk to you this way . i have no clue as to where the medalion is though!not much help i'm afraid...
Yeah, right, Guy. You found it sitting at your computer. Get real.
Is the madallion plastic?
SueBee, what color is the medallion?
I THINK ITS ALL A TWIST AND THERE IS NO REAL CLUE TO LINK TOWARDS ANY
SPECIFIC PARK. SHOOT ALL THE CLUES COULD JUST AS WELL BE IN MY BACK
YARD. NEED ANOTHER CLUE!! 7HOURS 27 MIN, ILL BE WAITING

DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE IN THE ALTOIDS CAN ITS METAL AND DETECTABLE?

SUE BEE in the treasure map from 96 says ok sliding hill west of tower, i was there last night also and there were indeed sled tracks.
I bet its in the pasta box, I believe that a card board box would
not be destroyed by snow it would take longer than 12 days wouldnt ya
say
hello where did everyone go???????????????????????????????????????????
Mounds Park is dead, just got back...altoids i out becasue of the metal box. Not sold on Mounds but going there again anyway, city streets, streets named after cities maybe...montreal, duluth, atlantic...none by Mounds but just a thought!
If y'all are going with the rose theme for the container why not a 'Guns 'n' Roses' cd case?
At this rate it could be in anything!!

Does anyone have any ideas about the stack other than smoke stacks, it doesn't say smoke, seems to easy
BUBBA good point it just maybe to throw all of us off.
actually it says look for a plume of smoke in the ski so it is a smoke stack
plume also means reward or prize , maybe its off of the ground if you see the smoke it would be at eye level in trees maybe
It's at highland I know it.
It must be at eye level.
Its a needle in a hay stack still no real clue towards which park, Its
part of there game it would be found if the clues were linked to one specific park. any ones med yet.
mound was dug up pretty good,not a lot of parking for people?
smoke stack,nice view
tracks are there
all the usuall spots where did you see one particular spot around any
tree, sign, or anything of that matter, dug out and around at least
11 feet, how often was it found within a foot of anything? still maybe
eye level!
kyle- why don't you think it could be highland?
it seems to me that, the harded the clues for which park, the smaller the park. Last year it was very easy to see it was in Como, since it was such a big park....

in 96 the second or last clue says grab your shovel and dig. where was it under a picnic table, taped to bottom. if my calculations are right
you didnt need a shovel.
There have been a lot of comments about the word Rosebud. Just something to think about but the burial mounds in Mound are believed to belong to the Sioux and there is a Rosebud Sioux tribe. Makes it sound like Mound Park doesn't it.
WHAT ABOUT IRVINE PARK, VIEW OF CIVIC CENTER(DOME) CATHEDRAL(DOME),
RIVER AND RAIL ROAD TRACKS JUST BLOCKS AWAY. AND VIEW OF THE STACK. JUST ANOTHER PARK NOT TO EXCLUDE!
Good point with the views Jenny, but there is little or no place for kids to play, which was mentioned in 1/3 of our existing clues. It also lacks city streets, as do some of mine.
ZIPP good point the rest of it sound so darn good, i over looked that.
I THNK I KNOW WHERE IT S ,AND YOU DON'T. HA HA HA HA HA HA
Don't forget, the Capitol is a dome too. That can be seen in even more parks!

This "rosebud" thing is what is holding me back.
I dont think its at mounds, its too dug up...
was at harriet island just for the fun of it and some on wrapped
checker pieces in a bunch of different objects and scattered them through the
park.
Q-ball, you don't KNOW where it is, you just think you do. You might spend all your time at the Wrong park. Then again you might find it before we know what park it is at.
Glad I don't think it is at Harriet, good one!
Sorry Q-ball, you didn't say you knew where it was, you thnk you do, HA!
I'm thinking that possibly "you'll have to crack our code"..that it's possibly in a cracker jack box or a cracker box, etc...Doesn't matter, though. I'd check it all no matter how big or small.

I don't even want to know what it is in 'til I know where it is!
I still think it's at Cherokee. Who agrees?
IWANTTHATTRESURE:
Look on the winter carnival home page, http://www.pioneerplanet.com/archive/wintercarnival/index.htm, click on the link that reads last 10 years clues. It tells you where it has been for the last 10 years.
Can't say for sure, Wanderer, it's possible.
