HEY JAKE,DID YOU CHECK OUT PARKS TODAY? I'M PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH ALL OF THE BIG ONES IT'S THE SMALLER ONES I'M NOT
WELL VERSED IN,LIKE CONWAY-I HAVE TO ADMIT I DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE.
I spent an hour at Highland, and thats all I had time for. I had to go to my dads this afternoon and low and behold, took a wrong turn and ran into langford park. I
am very surprised, it is about the size of the 4 baseball fields at conway. Anyways, I thought it was ironic (and funny) that it is at conway because on of my old
girlfriends lives near there and we used to sneak there at night (i was 16)but anyways, i may go out again tomorrow.
Jake-Inge: click on the message number that is posted after the person's name, date and time, then it lists the message # out of the total of messages (#21442 of
21442) The first # is in blue/purple. Click the first number and it will post the newest messages. Hopefully, I said all of that right. It's nice to see the board is full of
messages and eager people to hunt the medallion. I was at Conway on the third clue. Had help from the neighbor and other hunters in order to get there, but I was
one of the earlier hunters. The snow was so perfect and beautiful. And then there were hundreds of people digging and no snow not turned over. What excitement.
Can't wait until next year's hunt -- the big 2000. Don't forget to check out the Cooler Crew website for past year's clues and hiding places. It's very informative, and
if it's your first year, you'll want as much info. you can gather. I'm at work so I'll have to check back in later. Happy hunting thoughts!!
Frenchy brought me bock a green ski suit with ermine on it, from France!!!
OOO-LA-LA!!!
Yust yolking! I still want a green snow mobile suit to go with all my udder green stuffs... Everybuddy keep a look-out, otay????
Digger, thanks for plugging The Hunt Site to END all Hunt Sites!!! Yes, we're pretty proud of www.Coolercrew.com!!! There's some of all of us there - so many
have contributed - and our Web Master has done so good yust outta the goodness of his heart and his love for The Medallion Hunt. We're really into The PP Winter
Carnival Medallion Hunt, and it shows at our site. Ittiz the best one there izz!!!
Scribe, some of us gotta work, along with going to school etc. Anyways, what can i do for you? A MESSAGE TO ANYONE........when are they going to update
the coolercrew website? Scribe, im not off again till this weekend, so if you need anything, dont hesitate to email me, inge01@aol.com.
The updates have been sent to the webmaster for that site though they have not been added. I suspect that the webmaster has his hands full with something other
than his volunteering this summer and will get the site updated ASAP.
Well, let me put it to you this way. Yes I have a life outside of finding this thing, but between indy cars and the medallion, most of my thinking is done there. Women
dont appreciate that, but they will have to accept it or hit the road. And if that doesnt explain it, i have had dreams of the hunt the last 2 nights. (last night i had a
dream it was hidden in a cemetary!?!? I dont want anyone anylizing that! LOL) So to make a long story longer, if i had a choice, i would spend 50 weeks a year
racing and the other 2 looking for the medallion. I am honestly hoping that 5 years from now that is the life i am living......wouldnt that be awesome, race in the indy
500 and find the medallion, in the same year. Well, i can dream...
Terry and I aren't the only ones... Or Pats, Or Eags... That dream of hunting The Med... <g> Tho, I've not dreampt this early of hunting it...
Jake... Izz there a park *near* a cemetary (like rite next door...), or a park with one, but not Mounds? Won't be in Mounds.
Gotta check the Coolercrew Web site... Wonder where it was found in 1900... But that would bee too transparent, wouldn't it?
Still, you never know! I'm sure they don't have a MENSA person locked in a room somewhere to think up complex hiding places/rules. Ittiz gotta bee some average
JOE!!! that comes up with this stuff...
And yet again, for 2000, I'm thinking, "I wonder if MomPress is reading this and frantically changing hiding places/clues as I ponder strategies...
"GADS! She got the 2000 thighy!!! Time to reconoiter!!! Otay! 1900, then we'll add 50 for our anniversary this year... Oh! Just to confuse things, lettuce
toss in 3 - for we three that KNOW what's going on... That's 1953! THAT'S where we'll hide it!"
I'm never gonna find the damn thing! But I'm never gonna give up!
For the record, the very first medallion hunt was in 1952. So there isn't any way to find out where it was found in 1900 cause there wasn't one hidden!
I gotta quit checking in here. Better than 4 months to go yet.
Green,ya,good goin!Beeeeecareful big bro is watchin and we also have a one eyed sysop(ref.to helpful hints)!Jake, there is absolutely nothin wrong with your
dreams or plans,you are among friends here,we all obsess (and some of us abcess-uh oh)about findin the med.And we are all normal and reasonable
people!However if you actually start to dream about diggin up cemetaries,well-we'd better get you some help!LOL
As the temperature is falling, and so are the leaves, we ALL MUST THINK ABOUT THE MEDAILLON!!
I see no reason for not being HOOKED to this board, now - as fall is coming, as temperature dropped 20 degrees in one night, and the geese are flying south..
And the pupils are running late to catch the yellow bus.
Ha! Summer is over, fall will be short, and winter is just around the cor... WHAT? What am i saying?
And the name of the "dead person" in the clue (this was my dream of course) Sharon Stone! How does my subconscience come up with these things? Other places
ive dreamt the medallion was hidden in no paticular order, Forest Lake, Elkhart Lake Wisconson, Hastings, Osseo, its kind of funny, now that i think about it, ive
never had a dream that it was hidden in st paul, or ramsey county for that matter!
And it IS hunting season,your not required to always mention what your huntin for,besides isn't it great we don't ned a license for our hunt!? Hey there is something
this state doesn't control......oh no maybe they're listening.....
Well, after seeing what people did to Conway park, We'll soon be required to take "snow removal, 101, digging into the snow without digging into the ground". Or
See Green,I KNEW I was missin somethin!That IS to be considered tax! Well let me share that I also hunt for somethin this state doesn't control!SHEEEEEEESH!
Jake,we all took that course......don't they offer it at your school?
My IQ is high and so is my g.p.a., but thats not gonna help me find the medallion now is it??? Or is it? They did offer it at my school scribe, it was called "using
Lighten up Jakey,I was just givein you a hard time.....And they TEACH common sense at your school???????? I always thought common sense was a God given
ability developed over time and experience.I may stand corrected.......However that is all one really needs to find the medallion!Don't believe me,ask anyone whose

maybe theyll call it "shovel safety".

HAH! Knew it wuz in WISCONSIN! No wonder I couldn't find it! You're a genius, Jake!

The "crooner" clue by the press sucked....Conway Twitty never was and never will be a crooner...Bing CROSBY or Perry COMO...now these guys were
crooners!
Corporation.
Thank you Quick!!!I could'nt agree more!That irritated me also-Conway Twitty-SHEEEEEEEESH the name alone is so corny,not to mention his singing!He
definitley was and never will be a crooner by ANY definition!Jake forget about common sense,sometimes the clue writer is just WHACKY!!

Well just checked in at the coolercrew site for the first time this year! This IS my official start! I love reading past clues brings back tons of great(and frustrating!)

"Well,you ought to."
Was the medallion hidden at the bottom of the pool or something?
Or was scribe just looking there? Just kidding around Scribe
