Chris P.---the "new" and "well" are just guidance points to get to the correct park(my belief) Meaning you have to go by newell park and the stadium to get there

Amy, I've been told it is a good book to have in the Medallion Hunt reference library. I will definitely buy it next year -- no matter how much is costs.

Now you're talking Amy T-I played T Ball @ Hazel Park and used to fly downhill @ Beaver Lake!!! I can't imagine the PP wanting everyone to tear the you know what out of the those parks. Not a lot of room. Any other Blessed Sacrament kids out there???

I think it is way to early to tell what park it is in. Here is something to think about. Ramsey County provides active recreation areas in nine county parks, five regional parks and five regional corridors. And Regal if I'm thinking of the same park as you. That is way to small and no parking. There is going to be thousands of people out there digging .

I believe that the treasure is in Como Park. The Winter Carnival Ice slide is there this year and it says if you get to close to the action you won't find it. But there is an old monument in Como Park and the ball fields are not that far away from where the Ice Slide is going to be.

Snake:

How did it feel to finally find the damn thing? Were you stunned? Disbelief? By the end of the hunt, I'll have dreams of finally finding that blue plastic. It drives me nuts!

ONLY BLAST FROM THE PAST THAT MAKES ANY SENSE IS THE FACT THAT HIGHLAND PARK AT ONE POINT WAS A MUNITIONS DUMP AREA

The numbers 9,5,4 could mean that there are nine innings in a ball game and that the #5 position on the ball field is the shortstop or third base position I believe. When it says sometimes a four if your lucky, I think it means that sometimes you can hit a home run in a game and circle all four bases.
