What about Phalen? Has that been ruled out? I like the fact that Clear St. and Forest cross there!

you're going out there before 1130 - I can give you a call with the clue - just let me know.

Why do people think it is at Como? There isn't enough that fit! Newell is out Battle Creek still in Conway maybe Phalen- Slim chance

New clue isn't relevant much anymore, it will only confirm the park tonite(so it will probab;y get busy around midnight), but just in case my mother is going to call me

with it at 11:30 so feel free to come out sooner. Full Moon Tonight?? Ehh?? :)

Anybody going to be out at Conway at 11:30 waiting for the clue?

People think that it's at Como because that's where it's been the most times. It's a large park with many activities, so many clues tend to fit it! It's also in a convenient

location. But this isn't the year for Como!!:)

I'm new to this medallion hunt, and, with a busy family, I don't have much time to look. I doubt I'll beat the rest of you to it, so someone humor me, o.k., and tell me

where Conway Park is? I gather it's somewhere near Sunray. Is it near a school?

It's at Conway. No doubt. They are really tearing up the baseball diamonds. Hey Allison, did you spend all day there???

Something to ponder over, I looked up famous tomes on the web and the name SHERLOCK HOMES came up. Wasn't there a book that come out at Christmas

regarding SHERLOCK homes and the Ice Palace murders...any connection...watson??

Conway sounds good but I don't really think that peak at sun ray is "glowing"

Sun, 01/31/1999 - 7:31 PM Permalink
Russ Payne

Conway's just behind Sunray. Just off Wilson St.

Does anybody else think the peak at Sun Ray is more transparent than translucent?

tru hunter

tru hunter- i have a feeling that its in mounds park. noumerous tree lines, as well as a sliding hill, many lights to see above the bluffs and the 4 5 and 9 could refer to

the placement of the burial mounds

If Sunrays Peak isn't the place, what is???

Well now......been to Highland, Newell, Phalen, Como, Battle Creek, Capital Mall and my brothers backyard....even dug a little. Clues are definitely not coming

forth with ...... I'm a bit of a novice in the hunt but have traveled in from Pittsburgh PA to participate. This is my 4th dig and the pickings weren't there this weekend.

The peak .....that's a fine clue but it doesn't jive with the others SO..ARE the more skilled, practiced, diggers and med hunters having the same difficulty?????

What about linwood? I was also looking on the map and there were 3 streets in a line with the names of trees? I think there is a park right there to Highwood hills

nature reserve and also highwood hills rec park

No user inform…

Baker playground, West Side. Massive sliding hill. Page St. runs alongside it. Tomes are written on pages. The moon sorta looks translucent at its "peak" -- which is

tonight. Matches the "garbled insect" clue perfectly!!!!!

It can't be in Mounds Park. The Indian community complained about people trampling their burial grounds, and it was agreed that the Medallion would no longer be

placed there. People were saying last year that it was in Mounds Park, and instead it was in Cherokee.
