1999 Pioneer Press Medallion Hunt

Submitted by Casey Trauer on

It's time for the Medallion Hunt! The first clue will appear on PioneerPlanet just after midnight Saturday, Jan. 22. Come back here to compare notes with other treasure seekers, but be certain you read the rules on the Planet's Winter Carnival page.

Alright here is my theory on como. The studying the past and the yearning for learning has something to do with Oxford street. School in england. The flying downhill has to do with the downhill skiing that is offered at como. I think the score thing has to do with all the fields that they have out there, and the iconoclast is the statue by the observatory.....anyone else with me :)

Dingo Man - If we knew the park, we be digging right now. Slog it and come to your own conclusions.

actually 1997, but como is a huge park 450 acre exactly, so there are a lot of people this year I think Rice would be too small

Hi. Just logging in. How come nobody is talking about Highland anymore? I think the clues point to Highland more than anything else. What did I miss?

what do you mean battle creek is not a maplewood park, it is in St. Paul, and i found this out, i don't know if it helps, but if your standing in the baseball fields at battle creek park, you can see the 3M center

Battle Creek belongs to and is run by the City of St. Paul Parks division, not by the City of Maplewood...that's what I meant!

I just don't get why people think it's at Como...or Rice...or Mears. I think today's clue points to Highland, since the schools are right there.
