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.

Are there really hundreds of people at Conway? It wasn't that crowded earlier today, but then again I suppose most people were at work.

Allison, I think I've got that part of the clue, but if I told it would certainly give it away....

That's what kind of annoys me about this treasure hunt. All those people out there hunting for who knows how long, and it still hasn't been found. So what if you

were some genius who happened to figure it out on the 2nd clue? You would still have almost no chance of finding it.

No Jonathon, it was in cerokee park last year, that was overturned quite a bit. I was starting to feel hopeless, then "WHAM" someone did find it there. And much to

my demise. I had walked over it SEVERAL times.

think the phrase "if you're willing to be an iconoclast" refers to ---if we're willing to forget tradition meaning forget about all the past parks where

they've hidden it and focus on a new park. I think conway sounds good.

No user inform…

If it is not in Conway, it is in some other recreational park with lots of sports- too many references to scores, games, goals,home, etc. for it not to be. How about

clue 9 being a nod to the Beatles(this may be a stretch)? The word "clue" could be an acronym for Luce(pronounced "lucy") and the next line is ..."in the sky". What

follows that in the Beatles song is "with diamonds"- diamonds refering to the baseball or softball fields at Conway.

The only reason I don't think it's Como is because there is too much going on over there during the carnival, but not that it is a real good reason, just MY reason.

No, it has not been found. The sysop said they will post at the top of the page when it is found.

I'm sure the park is Conway. I can fit it to every clue now. But where in Conway, I don't know. My only guesses are these: 1) it would be somewhere where you

can see all the things mentioned in the clues. 2)If the peaks are really the ones from SunRay and not the rec center, it might be worthwhile to try and line them up so

that they appear as one or more towards the east side, the smaller one is obscured by the library. 3)The iconoclast clue may mean its hidden somewhere very

unusual, but I don't know where. I don't believe the 9-5-4 is a reference to anything in the park anymore. I think it really is I-94 & 5, and the first line is a reference

to the 2020 block.
