I agree with Stone. Even though I will admit some points are good, Newell has been hashed and rehashed! Let's try some new ideas.

The fairgrounds land is private property. And it is in falcon heights.

The Fair is St.Paul, and I think it's even Como Park.

Rupert, I don't think its at fairgrounds, as it is not a Saint Paul Park as specified in clues. But, it was found once at Fair Grounds, under three inches of ice no less. So

legal, yes, likely, no.

I don't doubt your beliefs ... but the devil is still part of that religious belief system => if your good you go to heaven if your bad you go to hell and the devil ...

therefore my comment still stands.

Okay ER....a man of fame offers a useful name that can be FOUND IN many a tome.....name is in books!!! Volumes of books!!!! It is killing me not to tell you the

name... Also...of course the medallion is all ready hidden and of course they don't want it found too soon...that is another reason they would not reveal the name of

the park so soon as you think it was in clue #4....but the name of the park is in #6...(the devil made me say that) Haha!! LOL!!!

I know that area of the fairgrounds covers alot of St paul and other cities and I can see how so many points lead to the fairgrounds...however there is just so MUCH

in that area!

Capitol Mall is also a past hiding place, in a pair of earmuffs by Veterans Service Building. If your read past clues and compare, the leaders in similarity are Capitol

Mall and Battle Creek.

the medallion isn't even in place yet so I am not too worried about figuring it all out yet. I will wait until it is really obvious then I will go hunting, by then they will have

hidden the medallion.

THE STATE FAIR GROUNDS IS NOT IN ST. PAUL...IT IS IN FALCON HEIGHTS...THAT IS A FACT!!! IT IS ON A PART OF FALCON HEIGHTS

THAT POKES INTO ST. PAUL...IF YOU LOOK AT A MAP IT COULD BE EASY TO THINK THAT IT IS IN ST. PAUL BUT IT IS NOT.

Any more ideas about the Fair grounds...the first clue rules out any chance of it being on the fair grounds.

I think our best bet is Battle Creek with the references to 1995 four years ago it was hidden there. Additionally that old ski jumping hill is a sledding hill

Actually the rules say Ramsey County. The first clue says a park in St. Paul, but the rules say the county

Then again the 9 and 5 could mean Highland in '94 five years ago. I want to know who has the job of hiding the damn thing.

As a recent transplant to Cheeseland..Eau Claire..and having lived in the cites for 30 years..you all have no idea of the fun that the treasure hunt really is until you are

110 miles away and can only use maps and memories...okay maybe fun should be slashed and painful should be inserted!!

I stand corrected the rules do say Ramsey County.
