Why is it every year someone always thinks it's so funny to give false alarms about the medallion being found? That joke is just so old and stupid. Nobody here is

going to believe it unless it is actualy posted or announced

I love this guessing stuff. But nothing beats standing in line , having a couple beers and acting like I know everything, just like everyone else. I think I might start

tonight. It's a disease!!

Goddess, Newell is just south of municipal stadium, but don't worry, it's a waste of time anyways, in my opinion

1995 - #7 Consider a place to learn as you try to discern the location of your quary And if you need guidance on where to turn Just keep your search elementary

Close, but a lot of clues from year to year can be similar!

Only 18 parks mentioned today. My 1st choice is HP but I'm listening at this point. Is there any sledding, sking, etc. at Merriam?

Another good name is Hancock--there is a Hancock Rec Center right by newell....what more important name than to "sign your John Hancock"....

No skiing or sledding at Merriam...but, Hillcrest Rec Center has sledding and athletic fields!

Does anyone know a good site that lists all the clues and locations from previoius years?

Goddess- I'm pretty stuck on Battle Creek, I'll list a few reasons, though I've been through this a hundred times it seems. 1- BC is boxed in by hwy 5, 94 and 494

2- "Shout" -Battle Cry 3- Medalion there in 95, which is 4 years ago- and it would be somewhat within the logic of breaking a tradition to hide it there again so

soon. 4- popular outdoor attraction= mountian bike trails and XCountry skiing trails, also which are DOWN hill 5-"chances are nil" well, nil=0, which is the shape of

a hockey rink, which is at BC 6- There's a school right there as well 7- 94 is also known as HUDSON Rd just north of BC 8- Ruth street, as in (Babe, who

"blasted" home runs) goes right by that particular part of the park, 9- As does Longfellow St (Longfellow and Ruth are both names which could be in a Tome)

And the "yearning for learning"?

Drive up Snelling and you got St. Thomas, Hamline, McCallister and concordia colleges in the same area!

I printed the clues for the past ten years from the home page for PP, but that was last year. I think you can do it after it's been found!

Jason---Hancock is closer to Newell than Hamline Park....

Look to the west a little bit and then move your finger up the map...it should be there!
