I believe that on the day the medallion is found, people will be searching in six or seven different parks. The PP writer has been intentionally vague, even sending

people to the wrong park on purpose. This leads me to believe that the medallion is in a smaller park.

Parks mentioned by hunters....Battle Creek, Highland, Capitol Mall, Newell, Como, Phalen, etc. Could be one of these. But maybe not.

DM I still think its BC but if you unscramble the first letters of each clue it could be elsewhere.

Does anyone think it could be in Cherokee Park again this year? I have a couple of clues that would support it.

I KNOW WHAT PARK IT'S IN!!!!!!!

sticks out tongue*

my theory is, they don't actually put the medallion out until later, because they don't want people to find it right away. anyone else?

Doubt it's at the Capitol...security would hate to have people digging so close to "The Guv" and his gun...

This is for all the dumbasses out there...(especially you Rock) If you don't know where MMM is then get the hell off here. I hate people who try and talk their stuff

about where this medallion is and have no clue about the city of St. Paul!!!!!

Actually, I don't know if it's Cherokee Park, it's a little north of it. Plato runs right into it (name can be found in many a tome); street named Nagasaki (blast in the

past); train tracks there (first of trees in a line)

The Rock

ok i will tell all of you about the line of trees. that right there tells you the streets. By highland you have PINEhurst, OAK ave., and there is one other street that has

something to do with trees. The St.Francis thing just gives Highland a way. it is there and no where else!!!

New Daddy I was at BC briefly but spent most of my time driving around. I believe the row of trees is new BC regional park. Beyond the tree line is the Translucent

3M sign. I think its at the old regional park. Thats how the old and new fit.

There's no way they don't put the medallion out until the later clues.

And isn't it weird that they haven't even mentioned anything about water in these clues.....
