amy t...i dont think we came up with anything solid except that dave knows where it is and someoneelse said they would sell the location of the med...:)
Clue 1 - suggests (with Clue 3) that it is near a golf course.
Clue 2 - suggests A Large Hill - not necessarily for sliding - but to stay away from such areas.
Clue 3 - suggests Numbered landmarks near by - And a place of much excitement
Clue 4 - Suggests a place with a lot of History that is connected with the now ( could be an abstract connection) A blase and iconoclast suggest a place that was moved or destroyed)
Clue 5 - Suggests a place of education or near such a place
Clue 6 - Suggests a place connected to fame as well as a literary figure there is also a hint of a "game".
To Dave: as far as an abstact connection - judicial plaza designed by artist richard fleischner, just east of the capitol building, contains numeruos abstract pieces of granite, pavers, a small amphitheater, and a memorial wall. WHAT DO YOU THINK!
I know it's not going to be on or near a golf course because of past incidents of people digging up fairways and greens for the medallion. The carnival wouldn't want to go anywhere near that headache again.
I'm telling ya, I have it right here........And it's in a park nobody has mentioned. So I guess not!! What does everybody think about the "treasure chest"clue keep coming up.......?
am gonna tell you what park the medallion is in, and give you reasons why it is there!
STATE CAPITOL MALL-
clue 1- st. paul public ground, a park, NO GOLF COURSE ( if you go to a park where there is a golf course you are wasting your time)
clue 2- refers to activities at COMO, but if you look there your chances of winning are nil (no chance).
clue 3- somehow must be related to the surrounding buildings?
clue 4- studying the past : MN HISTORICAL SOCIETY(need I say more). there are also several war memorials which may also refer to studying the past. value as well in the new + iconoclast = JESSE VENTURA.
clue 5- refers to all the activity that takes place at the capitol.
clue 6- man of fame found in many tomes( school books, encyclopedias, etc.) there are memorials to COLUMBUS, LIEL ERICKSON, CHARLES LINDBERG, and other state and national leaders all over the place - any one of which this clue refers to.
Now that I've given the rest of you a general area, I don't think telling you any more is good for my chances of finding the acclaimed medallion. Web crossing is getting very annoying!!!!!!!! Again I can't get through! What is this, did somebody just put a message in several times or what? Well that's the fifth time I couldn't get in! Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Please try again later! tenth,

looking at my street atlas i see a st francis scool near a small park with no name. also theres a st francis church on PALACE AVE, which borders this park along with jefferson av. so im thinking palace(treasure) st francis(iconoclast) and jefferson(man of fame) also shool=learning. what the hell i might check it out
Just got done with #7210. I dont't believe that the PP would send the largest hunting parting in the history of the Winter Carnival to the State Cap. Plus, these clues are made up far in advace to the winter season, and since Jessie was elected in November, I find it hard to be at the Cap.
Boreas Rex - The Capital Mall has been in the top few parks on my list... And one me and my shoveling partner just drove by and studied the surroundings... I like the Historical Aspect, with the New Historical Society Building very visable.. Also the Vo-Tech for learning... We were not, however, able to make the 9-5-4 clue fit very easily....

My thoughts only of course
OH, by the way, where is the medalion master?
t-dub: NOT!!
To Dave: as far as an abstact connection - judicial plaza designed by artist richard fleischner, just east of the capitol building, contains numeruos abstract pieces of granite, pavers, a small amphitheater, and a memorial wall. WHAT DO YOU THINK!
I never said I know where it is. I am pretty sure I know where it is. We all have an equal chance, I'm just trying to help
I know it's not going to be on or near a golf course because of past incidents of people digging up fairways and greens for the medallion. The carnival wouldn't want to go anywhere near that headache again.
when i get web crossing off (which is quite often)do all of you have that prob too?
I'm telling ya, I have it right here........And it's in a park nobody has mentioned. So I guess not!! What does everybody think about the "treasure chest"clue keep coming up.......?
mean at the same time
I think it's in a downtown park. For all of those medallion hunters from last year, I am Troy McLure a.k.a. Clay.
Has anyone thought about clue 2? Flying downhill=skiing=Afton Alps,hence Afton Rd.@BC Slimshady- Yup!! Keep tryin'
SLIMSHADY, yep its a real pain in the butt!!!
Webster school, Library, books?
I don't know what all the rest of you think, but I think it's at Rice Park where I am going to aquire it today!
good thinking troy! check out my next message!
YOU ARE ALL SO LUCKY TO BE HERE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!

Let me know what y'all think of my theory......
I agree with Brian over here, Rice Park has a Library very close to it.
what about hp with what 6 schools right outside the boundries-- just think of all the books in the libraries at the schools!!!!!
Makes sense to me let me get my shoes on and get it
Rice Park is on 4th and 5th street so I figure, if you're in sight of a nine somewhere around the park, you're in the right place!
All I'm gonna say is:
If Ann went where I think she did. its all a matter of where she looks when she gets there.

If it's not Rice Park it's going to be Mears Park which has almost the same credentials.
lets all email sysop and just put fix it in the sublect!
the garage logic think tank are studying the clues in the garage and we still think newell our cylinder powered shovels are at the ready
Perhaps they want to throw every one off by putting in a busy park because they didn't think anyone would look there!

Never in Rice Park with all the carnival activities there, and that includes the wiring that is put down in the snow for the lighting.
If you think about it, Highland park has a Library, church, a high school, a junior high school, and a small institute around the perimeter.
Rice park is a good thought ( ST.Peter street?) But I to think you'll be to close to the "action"
I'm setting out on my quest at 12:30, so if anyone else doesn't have anything constructive to say then I'll say adios!
How many times do i have to tell y'all! READ MESSAGE 7210
good point jim t
Sorry about the last message, but what about Mears Park?
Don't worry PioneerPlanet, if I can't get in I try later. Good Luck with the troubleshooting or upgrade.
HEY WILL THEY LET US BRING OUR SNOWBLOWERS OUT THERE??? ITLL MAKE THE SNOWMEN SMILE!!! LOL
Clayton
Mears would be a much better guess.
guess people have been using snowblowers in some places
looking at my street atlas i see a st francis scool near a small park with no name. also theres a st francis church on PALACE AVE, which borders this park along with jefferson av. so im thinking palace(treasure) st francis(iconoclast) and jefferson(man of fame) also shool=learning. what the hell i might check it out
Good luck all - I'll check back Later
