Hello Hello! My suggestion is: We all just name all the parks...so at least we all know we're not that far off. What d'ya think?

Well Shovel, the park is way too unclear. My early guess is that it is hidden in a card box. Would fit very nice and a card box is very small.

I think that pace and chase both refer to races and ace is the winner like you will be when you find the medallion. Are there any parks that have races or like charity walks or something???

like the idea Knob, card box would be great and the image on the box could come into play in the clues

Mom is back! I dig Dericks site, but I like the longer format. Thank's Derick. Thanks mom. I have read all of the posts here, and I have come to the conclusion that mom is taking her time as usual. Better get some good stuff before Saturday!

Why highland? Stab in the dark, or could you share some supporting info? I would be interested.

the only problem with the deck of cards theory that people have been saying is if you read the whole line....."it could make you an ACE" so how could you be a deck of cards??? I am thinking the whole ace thing is just saying set the pace and you will win (hence ace)

How about Rice park. Downtown - near "professional" buildings. In FirstStar Bank (profitable profession)public space. Across from Landmark Center (statue can be a landmark)

Jerilynn, It is an educated guess, if you look back at explanations of prior hunts, u will see that sometimes the explanations are pretty wild. It is what I said though, a guess. Your guess is as good as mine.

Don't they do the ice sculpting in Rice Park? Will it be too hard to hunt with all that going on?

Rice has statues of its own, notably F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Why don't we all just overanalyze even more and say that ace means Ace VENTURA, and it is by the capitol??? Doesn't it sound like a plan that is going to get us even further from the park than what we are!!! STOP OVERANALYZING!!!!!

I need to find this medallion....then I could finally get married! The Las Vegas trip is included compliments of Sun Country Airlines.

There is way too much traffic in Rice Park with the ice sculptures. Never.

Rice is where sculptures are, will make medallion hunting tough, and knowing that some people tend to have bad manners, PP may not want to encourage the folks that insist that the medallion is hiding in an ice swan.

thats what i was thinking it has only been there one time.....Its gotta be due but then again it is a small park and every year the number of people searching for it grows do you think that they would want that many people down town?

To my followers:....I will find it and when I do we're going to MEXICO for three weeks!!!!!!!!!! When we get there we'll raise a toast to all of you non-believers and we'll say hey "how's it going" while you guys are still walking around in a stupor at highland and como diggin your lives away.

It reminds me of the japs who were out on islands and didn't believe the war was over 2 years after it was!!!!!!!!11

two parades can handle the crowds--I am sure downtown merchants would not mind, if at mears would look that that day that me and 5,000 other people stood to listen to the Titanic whistle....

As for all you fools reading idiotic garbage into these clues then you better sit down and let PIE examine your brain or what's left of it. Don't read so much into the clues because as history shows, they are mostly vague and not so deep you gutter diggers!!!!!!!

Lots of construction at Dunning.....
