The Rock is all nice to everyone and that's cool, but would you tell everyone here exactly where you thought it was? I know, I KNOW, we all just want to live

together and be happy. You can tell who the sincere people are on this site by the kind of info. that they write about. The people that are discussing the clues in

general are for real. The people that talk about specifics are either trying to lead you astray, or they are too stupid to know where it is anyway!! But that's just my

humble opinion.

I think "the press" has a theme going here. they wanna show off the new development of the river front, jessie, and other historical sights of downtown...u can see it

in the clues; except for the "downhill" clue. I would like to hear how I'm wrong if someone would answer!!!

5000g - they are too broad - not enough specifics - which park downtown?

We were thinking on the capitol's front lawn for a while but the clues only vaguely point to it.

Okay, we've never seen this water cooler before 30 minutes ago, but we have some questions...

Is Fort Snelling a possibility?

Can you see the historical society from any park?

Is fourth street or fourth avenue anywhere around Newell Park, or Highland Park?

Peppercorn, no Fort Snelling is not a possibility. Public ground only and in Ramsey County. Fort Snelling isn't part of St. Paul.

DAN, the clues vaguely point to just about ANY park in the city right now. I like your capitol idea though, usually in the first clue or two they will tell us about a

body of water and we have seen none of that. I'm heading out to check out Newell and Highland. I'll check back in when I return. Anyone else going out tonite?

My problem is that I like both Newell and Highland. I haven't gone out to really investigate the sites. Have video tape of parks but not as good as being there.

What happened to the cooler, it used to be civilized. Now I feel like I am in yahoo. Where is Devil's Den? Is it in Newell Park? Or is it something different? That is

all I want to know. These clues are giving you pin points of where the medallion is hidden. The name of the park has already been given.
