Selma and Patty B.....if you're still here. To get to last year's board, click the blue link at the top or bottom of the page for PioneerPlanetWaterCooler. This screen will list all the coolers. Toward the top of the list there is an item for "old discussions". If you go into that, there will be the medallion board from 1998.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Dave! Anyone thinking of Rice Park on 4th & 5th St? Can you see the new History Center from there?

BK: You are kickin it! I've had the HP vibe all along, but then again I got suckered into digging @ Mounds last year! The last thing I ever try to do is over-estimate the amount of info in the clues; its gotten me nowhere in the past. Is it just me, or did the Como stuff 2 yrs ago just all come together much better? Maybe they were trying to make up for the knock down drag out deal at Harriet Island the year before. I'll be over and out, or should be by 12:30. Good luck!

Yep, Newell is the spot man, we went there last night til 2:30 I have thought Newell ever since the 2nd clue. Unless tonight's clue points way away from Newell, we'll be there around 12:00

We were wondering if it could be Hillcrest since the library is there and you can sled.

College of St. Catherine - on the west side of Highland. Only learning around any park that I know - higher education.

How about the nine and five and sometimes four, could that have something to do with the hours that someone would be there???? A school or a workplace?

The first one was hidden at Highland and isn't this the Pioneer Press Anniversary so maybe it's there this year too.

The schools right next to Highland are too easy to figure out. There has to be a hidden meaning in this clue. We have to 'discern' it.

at highland park where everyone talks about the disc golf ( not sure if that exactly was it, but something close) is that actually considered a golf course, or would that still be open for search?
