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.

No user inform…

Thx Angel...My biggest problem with faithful is that my tax dollars paid the $300 for his WebTV so he can come on here and cause problems when we are just

trying to recover the $10000 in tax dollars we gave him and the welfare system this year.

There's a park up by the capitol? Is the PP going to let us trudge all over their front lawn?

I will share my thoughts for the night and then it's off to bed: Clue#1 Tells us it's in St. Paul Clue#2 Stay away from a sledding hill (I believe that it is telling us to stay

away from the giant snow slide in Como Park) Clue#3 The homes around Newell Park are in the 900 block range. Clue #4 Studying the past - Hamline University

value as WELL in the NEW iconoclast - I believe this is some reference to what the medallion is in - it will have to be broken to get to it Clue#5 Another reference

to what it's hidden in? Clue #6 man of fame: Zachary Taylor 12th Pres. of the U.S. 1849-1850 -150 yrs. ago - a coincidence that the Pioneer Press celebrates 150

yrs this year. or Pierce Butler - a former supreme court judge. Both names appear in many a tome and the streets that bear their name run into Newell Park. Clue#7

I think possibly trees on a boulevard leading to a sign which will tie into future clues. But I could be wrong. Goodnight and Good Luck

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!!!

actually I am white. I like heavy metal , metallica, korn, METAL!! I despise rap. I feel that white society is very conservative, and will not give blacks a chance, even

at being human!!! NO you say! How many black friend you got then. why are their master tournaments in golf? No slaves would ever play in the masters! Look tiger

woods had to turn white, culturally to play. its true society oppresses whatever it wants.questions?

Jedd is not posting STUPID messages. He has the ability to read all of this nonsense. The medallion is in the athletic field for HIGHLAND HIGH.

If you look carefully at clue 6 the man of fame could be Homer. A name found in many a tomes(large books). Homer wrote long books. The last sentence says this

brings the treasure home as in Homer. There is a Homer st that runs into highland park.

actualy faithful, about half my friends are black. And not one of them makes comments like white people suck. I don't know or care who you are, one minute you

say your black, the next you say white. But I really don't care- BECAUSE YOU ARE NOTHING TO ME. Yu have some kind of a problem, and you like to take

it out on decent people. Either get rid of you attitude or get off this page!
