1998 Pioneer Press Medallion Hunt

Submitted by Casey Trauer on

Hunt for the Pioneer Press medallion!

The Pioneer Press medallion has been found. Details are at our Winter Carnival page.

The hunt's over, but the discussion rages on ...

Shawnster Johnster

about 10% of people are still holding out for Mounds. Let it go....

it's not about making an emotional attachment to a park. OR maybe it

is, I don't know... whatever the case, think what you want, but I

have yet to see "double division" in Mounds. Did anybody here besides

me walk between the two "dome" mounds by the wrought iron fence?

That was my guess at it.

is my map wrng or don't the rest of you see that at the int of annapolis and chippewa, the sw pt. of cherokee pk. is the border of st. paul/west st. paul and ALSO west st. paul and mendota heights. that's double division! unless the answer is really 5, then this is all moot

Shawnster: I didn't even remember about the pleasure clue, but that makes my spot all the better. I wish I were back there to help dig.

Summary so far for cherokee fans:

1) Try north shore of Pickeral Lake between the Tracks.

(next to double division line)

2) Try Joy street off of Water street just north of that.

(pleasure clue: a little obscure imho)

3) Try Cherokee Blvd and Baker street

(dough)

Mother - Where did the number 5 come from? I think you might have something there with those two intersections. But I just noticed that the division between the three is at the corner of Delaware and Annapolis thus taking it away from the park. Didn't get the e-mail S&P

alex, that is two lines of single division, which by the quadratic theorem is equivalent to one line of double division.. i'll be at cherokee tomorrow morning, with the kiddos

Ryan: hwy 36 to 35E south to Wacouta Exit. Go straight, then turn

right on 7th street (you will be downtown) Turn left on Smith.

Go across river on bridge. On other side, immediate right onto

cherokee avenue.

Annapolis is at the edge of Cherokee Park one side of the street is St.Paul which is Ramsey Co. and the other side of the street is W. St. Paul which is Dakota Co. That's the double division.

If you just don't know where to go Here's a clue to aid your decision: The medallion that promises lots of dough Is near

a line of double division.

mother moco: I think it's a clue that "moco" rhymes with "loco"... ;)

what does moco and loco have to do with anything?

Thanks for noticing that there is no 'Dome' park Ryan, I thought that you were yanking our chains, that's why I made the sarcastic comments earlier about Rosebud park and all.

I like it how people pick their childhood parks regardless of the clues. "Well, there's standing water there when it rains..." ;) Well, there are no domes there, but there is a sliding hill with two sides on it!

Rosebud Indian Reservaton?

ok, there are alot of things that could point to goodrich(dome) park. there are alot more that point to cherokee park though. and im not pulling tyou chain or anything

believe that the park we all want is found in my last name if you can crack the code

does anyone think that last night's clue (the word plume) is related to plum street near mounds? you can line the street up with the big smoke stack!!! i still feel mounds but i am not there because i think it is still too vague

doubt its at como again...wasnt it there last year?

Shawnster Johnster

ryan: moco and loco are no clues. just trying to tell mother her clues are a stretch. Very creative though. Hard to see how someone with such creativity could also understand the quadratic equation. Must think with both halves of the brain...wait, two halves, TWO DOMES! MOTHER MOCO IS THE MEDALLION!!!!

If we could relate double division to Mounds we may have something...sorry Cherokee fans...Mounds still has potential!

Funny one Mother in #1781. Both Clockwork and Rosebud were excellent movies. Both are better under some sort of influnce though. And, by golly, so is the hunt. Any ideas on what it's hidden in?

ryan quinn

plume can mean smoke(from a smoke stack) or an indian feather

give up on mounds

It's hidden in a Rosebud Pasta box.

Clue Master... IN 1695 to me you mentioned double meaning... Have you noticed yet the ENTIRE bunch of clues (well, maybe *not* ENTIRE... LOL!!) it's all doubled? First Bank twice, twice for Cherokee, two domes, double division... Bet it's in a Bandaid box, alrite!!!

Any other doubles I'm missing?????

Sat, 01/31/1998 - 1:09 AM Permalink

Also, division could refer to bike paths, or any other thing that can divide two areas...

JW what is your reasoning for giving up on mounds? it's still early, tomorrow should definitely give us the park w/o doubts

Sat, 01/31/1998 - 1:10 AM Permalink
ryan quinn

you know how we got dome from demo and mode. well its a stretch but if you take lode, you can make it into DOLE, as in the pinapple. maybe its in a dole pinapple can?
