List 'em as you get 'em. If one is done, confirm it or reject it.
We'll average them out. This is very much a work in progress.

hahaha, actually, I've never gone there. Never quite got why people are so interested in cookies at the fair. It's not like they're unavailable the rest of the year...
get a small cup and you'll find out why......
Clue 12
As we study the clues we accept or confute,
With family and friends we discuss and dispute.
One word express a point in between,
Naming the site where the treasure is seen.
That would be Midway and it seems right from my recollections...but I was in high school at the time and it was my Mom doing the hunting at night.Â
I have all the newspaper articles since 1952 and some of them include maps. I'll check out he maps vs. your maps or maybe even get out to get a coordinate or two when I get a chance. It looks great so far, keep up the good work!
Jesse comes screamin' in, again. I knew that stuff was out there somewhere.
I had all of my newspaper clippings out the last few days trying to answer a few questions for Trent. I'll check back in real soon!

Whoohoo! Any info and/or maps would be great.
BTW I can setup an overall map when we're done using Mappoint, in a linkable HTML file even I believe.
Should be easier in a month to get coordinates too, tree cover will be down.
Considering the tree cover is down now, I'm going to try and get out to get a few more locations plotted. Would love to have a completed set (if not 100% accurate) by the hunt this year.
Anyone interested in meeting up at one of the more frequented parks (harriet, cherokee, etc..), discuss old clues, help locate areas, etc. let me know.
What parks and years were you thinking of?
well I want to hit parks that haven't been covered on the list yet, cherokee, highland, hidden falls, harriet, anything downtown.. not sure where else I need to get..
Well it's not much, but it's a start. Here's 2002's coordinates

I was gonna move this back out, but I didn't wanna screw it up.
J T, if you see this, can you put it back in the geocaching main folder?
Going to go hit Conway and Beaver Lake on my way home tonight. I figure if I do a few after work everyday (shoot I can't night cache, but I think I can manage medallion locations) I might just make a dent in the list.
Okay I'm not done with Beaver Lake, will haveta do that one in the daylight. If you saw my explanation in the invitational you'll know why. Basically a deer was staring me down and I decided I didn't want to impose since I live nearby I can get it anytime.

Thanks Diggin :)
You know I've had fun retracing old medallion locations. Kinda like tonight down at Beaver Lake, ya just get a feel for what it must have been back when the hunt was going on.
Don't be mad JOE
OTS, When ya gonna get that GPS and give me a hand with these coords? lol!
Tax time... it's in the bag....Soon as I get my W-2

Did Bambi give ya a good scare? :)

Nah, more the other way around, and I decided I didn't want to scare off the poor deer. I'm kinda surprised there was one in that park. It was too dark to count, but I knew I saw some antlers on it, was a pretty large buck.
They're pretty much all the way along McKnight from Battlecreek to Beaver lake. Sometimes they do run down in the city streets.
Okay here's one more. I had done it during the State Fair, but I confirmed it with Mr. Med's book (hopefully it's right)
1953-2, N 44° 58.723 W 093° 10.498 State Fairgrounds (2nd Chest)
I FINALLY took a peek at Jessie's book. The MAPS !!!!
I'll be out getting coordinates tomorrow, unless this cold knocks me on my ass.
Very nice, Mr. Med Hunter !
aaaaggghhhh

I know mine are different from OTS. KC, did you grab 'em?
Yeah but I'm the new guy.
N44 53.934 W93 09.545
My one set is dead on....I forgot where I posted them...
didn't grab my own set, but I'm sure Ian's and Kitch's should be right on. Now that the hunt is done I'm going to try and work on the missing years.
sheesh I gotta get these finished sometime.
