A new clue will publish daily through Thursday, Feb. 1, 2007, unless the medallion is found prior to that date. Read the daily clues to search for the Pioneer Press medallion hidden on public land in Ramsey County. The medallion will not be found on the State Capitol grounds, on a golf course, Como Zoo & Conservatory, Harriet Island or any construction site.
I wonder if there's a statute in the city law books that says it's lawful for a common citizen to shoot an idiot looking for the med up on one of those mounds?
:eek: :worried:
I don't really care for crowds to be honest, that's the main reason I'm not planning to go.
Once across the trestle things will get easier. About 100 feet after you get off the trestle you will see a 6 ft privacy fence on your right. Halfway down this fence is an opening that leads to someoneÂ’s backyard. This person isnÂ’t home during the week until after 6pm, so I suggest you do your searching before then. When you go through the fence into the yard, watch out for the dog! He isnÂ’t really as mean as he looks, but bring along some snacks to distract him.
Once you are through the backyard you will come to a small patch of woods (IÂ’m not sure who owns it). Now that youÂ’ve made it through the woods you will come to another fence. This one you will have to climb since there are no openings. The owner is a really old lady so donÂ’t worry if she yells at you, she canÂ’t catch you. All she does is bangs her cane on the porch railing. After you get through that yard you will once again be in some woods. Be careful here because if you donÂ’t have a pass they will either arrest you for trespassing or kick you out. Watch out closely for Park Rangers. They usually wear an olive green colored uniform with a gun, so they are pretty easy to spot. If you see one, hide.
When you get to the medallion site you will need a small shovel, the type you use in the garden will do just fine. Use it to probe the ground (the coin is buried). If you dig up a lot of plants, please hide them carefully behind the trees so the Park Rangers donÂ’t get suspicious.
DonÂ’t bother bringing a metal detector (although it will help to find some of the many artifacts in the area) because the medallion is in a glass jar with a plastic top. If you find any artifacts, hide them carefully or the Rangers will take them away and give you a ticket. There are plenty to go around, so grab some, they sell great on E-Bay!!
The other alternative to get to this spot is to go to the entrance of the park and pay the Park Rangers $3.00 to get in, but I think the way described is the best. If you really want to go through the front entrance email me and IÂ’ll send the directions.
....POSEN...HELP :smile:
sounds like long lake
nice directions
unless the rest of you are going to be in bed by then... we are getting older ya know... :wink:
miss you bud!
