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.

The bank tower, if you want to go that far, the clue is completely talking about the HHH Metrodome. You should be able to see the Metrodome very easily from

this St.Paul park. College Park, anybody check that place out?

I checked out College park after the yearning for learning clue and i couldn't fit the other clues very easily BUT it was well worth the trip because i discovered the

best sledding hills i've seen since i moved to the midwest (which don't get me wrong..i love it out here..but damn i missed great sledding...but the college park

sledding hills are pretty cool.) Also: thanks madams

It's kind of on the University Campus (St.Paul) not to far from the fairgrounds, University Golf Course, There is a Hillside street near by as well as a Carter and

Luther street. I don't know, it was a shot in the dark. Does anyone know if you can see the Dome from there, because it is a possibility. Kind of crazy this year, huh?

College park is a few blocks north of como and a couple blocks west of Raymond. Just north of the Como Library.

it's never been hidden in college park. Do you realize that there were 2 treasure chests hidden in 1953? could it be possible for there to be 2? would that explain the

huge prize?

Madem, You have a good point but I have been doing this for a long time and just because there is a few people you know who are looking out at Phalen doesn't

mean we should run off there because not everyone is on agreement about any park. That is weird for the 8th clue. If you have been looking for the Medallion for a

while don't we usually know what park it's at by now? I think it is at a crazy small park like Monroe Memorial school, or Palace. They are beginning to spell out

St.Francis, aren't they? Trust me. If it was at Phalen, we would know the name of the park already.

Chris- we don't know the park that well but we know there is a school: learning, a big sledding hill And we think clue#1 means there should not be a golf course at

all which there isn't How bout you?
