For the record, there is an ad on the lower right corner of page 6B in today's PP for the hunt which specifies that the alternate copies are accepted. However, I believe that those copies are only accepted for the mail-in contest. I'll stick with the originals for good measure as that's what the official medallion hunt rules state.

Good evening, all hunters!!

Did some cruising. Not 100% sold on any *one* park, but time will tell. Don't hafta mention I was really goin for Phalen last year - at least til the 4th or 5th clue...so my intuition is probably off again!

Guess time will tell.

I'll be in-n-out for a bit - gotta get some dinner...
