1998 Pioneer Press Medallion Hunt

Submitted by Casey Trauer on

Hunt for the Pioneer Press medallion!

The Pioneer Press medallion has been found. Details are at our Winter Carnival page.

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

Cherokee is good. Pretty dug up, but the right place always is. Just got to get out there and stumble onto it.

I REPEAT, MOUNDERS STAY ON THE EAST SIDE...those of us on the West Side want the medallion for ourselves.

Robert--

This is the secret of life: the object of the game is to gather as many years as you can without growing up.

mr fee, why are you here?

For the last time...

Annapolis Street, which borders Cherokee Park, is the "division" between St. Paul and West St. Paul/Mendota Heights/Lilydale. It is also the "division" between Ramsey County and Dakota County. Hence the "double division."

This is a very easily interpreted clue. Those trying to say that a street that runs through Mounds Park twice is a better "double division" are stretching to make the clue fit their park.

The border of the park is the city and county line "division." That's about as basic as it gets.

See you all out there in the morning. Good night.

We just got back from Cherokee - lots of people there. Probably about a hundred or 125. Drove through Mounds just for fun. Probably only 25. Not that numbers count but it would appear Cherokee has more votes.

Three pyramids at C as roofs for picnic shelters and three as roofs for the bathrooms.

dream on Robert...it's at Cherokee.

Remember to let the clues lead you, don't interpret the clues to fix your favorite park.

...signing off for now....

Just back from Cherokee. I agree that all Mound diggers should hang in there. That park hasn't made sense for a couple of clues, but we all appreciate your fortitude! Hang in there and keep digging. Maybe the medallion will sense your pain and transmogrify itself to a spot beneath your spade. And remember to keep that ultimate goal the Frog Pond ever in mind! Good Luck.

How many people out there would put the medallion in their pocket and not turn it in and just sit back and watch everyone dig ?

A true hunter would not do that.

My husband always says he would...but he would be too afraid of losing it!

I would LOVE to cash in as soon as possible

I'm with you on that . But I wonder if anyone would be so evil to do that. Sometimes I wonder when the park looks like a mine field and your waiting for the next clue to help you get by. Just a thought. I and when our group find it we would be at the pioneer press so fast.

To K. Rasmussen everyone left the park so we just headed home.Stopped by the Pioneer Press to see if the van was there but it wasn't. We should of dug accross the street! Just a little short once again!!

I was over there..I think the idea of the last clue is that wherever you dig you need to be able to see the tops of the bathrooms

I think the skilled hunter must now rely on luck...very few stones have been left unturned at Cher.
