I wonder if I can claim the all-time record for earliest post of a clue. Note the time on Post #3097 (9:00 PM).

...so they didn't hide the medallion this year -- just a worthless hockey puck, so nobody gets any $$$.

The trouble with hiding the medallion downtown is it's so well travelled, unless you put it in a spot people most likely (or won't) go, it'd get discovered awful quick...

One other question... if they always hide it outside, and typically make it look like a piece of trash or something similar, has it ever been accidentally thrown out? Or possibly a cleanup crew cleaned it up? or does the pioneer press have some deal with the city like (don't have anyone clean up anything for the next week or so)?

I heard last time it was found at Kellogg, it was by a man & his sister-in-law & they were enjoying an extra-marital moment when the found it under a bench

Lol how do you explain that one away to people?

The last time it was other than a park was in 1969.

Hmmmm Maybe this is Ares' and Me2's time to shine....

When we've played hide and go seek most people will agree the funnest hiding spots are the ones that are rather obvious, or you can stay in your spot, watch people walk right past you and totally not see you. Maybe the hiding spot of the medallion could be like that, so insanely obvious, everyone overlooks it... all the while the clue writers are laughing their heads off

as far as always open...i think this may be a reference to the Radison Hotel which is across the street from the park. Just a thought....

Wow, look at the time. Obviously I can go to sleep this evening fairly assured the medallion won't be found before I wake up :)

It doesn't say you can see the Capital, just the dome, so I'm thinking it's in a park on the border of St. Paul, with one of those St. Paul Signs, with a pic of the capital dome on it.

unless of course it's in kellogg in an insanely obvious and overlooked spot.....

When someone finds the medallion and we all know where it is, I'm going to go there, and take a 360 degree digital panorama of the area :)

I got the current edition of the Treasure Hunters Guide in 2000 and I believe it was new that year. There isn't really a new edition this year. That's just a running joke. If you see Steve at the PP or in the parks, you can buy a guide for $10. Definitely worth it.

Sorry to hear that CM. I know what it's like to be out of work. Although I suppose it's even worse when you've been there quite a while.
