Hunt for the Pioneer Press medallion!

The hunt's over, but the discussion rages on ...

With as torn up as Mounds and Cherokee both are, I'm beginning to jump on the bandwagon that it's found and someone is just enjoying the frenzy. Whatta ya all think?

Here's how to make $500 if you don't find the medallion:

Follow these steps, IF I FIND THE MEDALLION:

1) You must be willing to claim the full treasure reward.

2) I turn the medallion over to you; and in exchange for that,

3) You give me the full treasure reward except for $500 you keep out of it -- thus you got $500 for not having to find the medallion.

Deal?

If you agree, send E-Mail to me and I'll contact you if I find that little medallion.

Let me fuel the fire: Clue #6 referenced being "on the wrong track" and tonites had "win the race". I'll bet the park is near a running track, perhaps near a high school

To keep up the pace and win our race

There's no need to wander to and fro

Instead you should look near a place

Where three pyramids rise over the snow

I'd like to see a clue referencing a certain Timberwolves player. That would nail it down to CP, as if it's not already.

I'm going to bed all of you treasure hunters. Best of luck to all. I'm going to simply dream about digging in the snow and striking it rich.

I do think that you can make almost any clue fit any park. Some years I have been really ticked off at the official explanation. Given that I've developed an unnatural affinity for indian mounds as the site, I think double division could mean the divided mounds blvd and the adjacent divided bike/walking path. Or the borders of west st p and south st paul. Frankly, on this one I like the ramsey county/st paul border rationale for cherokee. But overall...

Magnus

Well there are a *lot* of people at both places, but I just like watching crazy people freeze while digging around in the snow. Only in Minnesota!
