this is the ONLY park I can think of that would have 2 stop signs on the same side of the street exiting the parking lots - I dont know if there are even stop signs there but it would be the only park that has more than one entrance/exit BESIDES BUNKER HILLS (where stop signs would be on different sides of the street)
then maybe these other parks need a second glance too:
moor (moore)
prairie oaks
riverview
mercy
Crooked Lake has walking paths but not really considered trail to me
I saw kids sledding onto the lake down a small hill. there are a couple of gates (besides the entrances) that open and close -there is a small store next to it.
why would they say "Sheriff" though instead of Police? What would a sheriff be doing in Coon Rapids? There has to be some meaning/proximity to Hwy 10 or another road that a sheriff would patrol. Plus sheriffs wear those star badges...maybe there is a star involved :chagrin: :eyeroll:
Could also be a "No motorized Vehichles beyond this point" sign..
there is one of those at Windwood? whatever is just north of Sand Creek --- One way in next to church. I drove up in there and actually drove IN the park!
Several of my friends have been actively participating in the Medallion Hunt for several days. Expecting a clue today, a group made arrangements to have time available, and were counting on a new clue. I am leaving work mid-morning to join them.
Many Coon Rapids businesses have been benefitting from the daily trips to the area, and a few people are visiting the city for the first time.
Not asking for an "edge", but can you tell me when we might expect the new clue to be posted?
Here's Joe now
this hunt bites!
The Old Timer was in a Daze. He had become hypnotized while looking
for the prize Medallion, through the SNOWFLAKES, as they were falling.
“That’s itâ€, he said, “THE HUNT IS ON!!â€
Public land, Coon Rapids, prize winner must have a 2006 Snowflake Days Button,
and good searching skills to be able to locate the 2006 Snowflake Days Medallion.
Do not change the right things, just those that are wrong.
Snowflakes trip to work was difficult as well as long.
Clue #2 for Saturday, February 4th:
It must have been a bright, White City, day,
when OLD TIMER PETE lost his weigh?
Sometimes Pete rested along the way.
He thought of a park for kids . . . someday?
Clue #3 for Sunday, February 5th:
Some folks knew Pete as OLD SNOWFLAKE!
because he loved this time of year.
Old Timer would pack a sled
with lunch, dry socks, and all his gear.
Clue #4 for Monday, February 6th:
Yes, some corrections must be made.
Was his prize lost in the shade?
It is tough to say on a snowy day
when so much white gets in the way.
Clue #5 for Tuesday, February 7th:
Hunt high, hunt low,
but cause no damage where you go.
No, damage nothing in your search today,
Look where people have come to play
Clue #6 for Wednesday, February 8th:
The place is froze over
study clues with care.
You can win treasure
that is hidden somewhere.
Clue #7 for Thursday, February 9th:
Don’t be in a hurry,
get over the hertells.
No need to worry,
just move like turtles.
Clue #8 for Friday, February 10th:
Down the street to the corner,
Trees, signs, passing carriages, and foot prints,
But should I go leaved or write?
They distract from clues that make cents.
Clue #9 for Saturday, February 11th:
Be it hay or straw, be it bedding or feed
you must figure out what the cart pushers need.
Snowflake knew if the trail should be straight not narrow
the distance is measured by the flight of an arrow.
Clue #10 for Sunday, February 12th:
Old Pete in those Daze, the clues seem to fail
The Old Timer, some how must have took the wrong trail.
The trees, the sand, the chain, the rail
An empty bucket, a barrel, a …pale or …dale.
Clue #11 for Monday, February 13th:
We start at the backdoor sometime in July
and end past the front gate, now give it a try.
Shuffle out warmer now what do you think
the Old Timer went past a hard water drink.
Clue #12 for Tuesday, February 14th:
It seemed far from the general store . . . a jiggity jig,
paper or plastic, will I have to dig?
Or stuck on the ground with a one foot twig,
and it seemed far from the door . . . a jiggity jig.
Clue #13 for Wednesday, February 15th:
Some shadows be long,
some shadows be short.
Snowflake thought long.
No! The four o’clock sort.
and give you a sign.
The style that will halt you
and that you must align.
lions coon creek -1 entrance in and out
crooked lake - maybe 2
sand creek - at least 1
I like crooked lake right now
this is the ONLY park I can think of that would have 2 stop signs on the same side of the street exiting the parking lots - I dont know if there are even stop signs there but it would be the only park that has more than one entrance/exit BESIDES BUNKER HILLS (where stop signs would be on different sides of the street)

so find a park with 2 stop signs near eachother
Could also be a "No motorized Vehichles beyond this point" sign.. :frown:
there is one of those at Windwood? whatever is just north of Sand Creek --- One way in next to church. I drove up in there and actually drove IN the park!
than I am still liking Lion Coon Creek, Sandwhatever, Winterwhatever and someother one--- um yah :eyeroll:
Slang. A body of water; the sea: The hatch cover slid off the boat and into the drink.
hard water can be a creek
To market, to market, to buy a fat
pig,
Home again, home again, jiggety jig.
To market, to market, to buy a fat
hog,
Home again, home again, jiggety
jog.
To market, to market, to buy a plum
bun,
Home again, home again, market is
done.
