Long and narrow rob, with a big incline at opposite end from bridge, requires lots of climbing....takes you past some odd rock sculptures and up into the a residential neighborhood just past brewery. Heavily wooded, not big as como, but not tiny either.

The opposites atract thing to me is a magnet. And with clue for saying look carefully in this clue or something like that and it spells out "Wars". Then the magnet thing there is a magnet elementary school just across from Battle Creek Park.

kid mpls, I'm still trying to figure out what's goin' on with the Mom server. Its running Netscape Enterprise server. They've probably got a measly SparcClassic running it. any PP sysop care to comment?

kid minneapolis

cosmo cat-- yeah, maybe the PP already had the scuba idea. The medallion is at the bottom of Lake Phalen! You heard it here first. Good luck getting through the ice and finding it.

I don't think its in Newell anymore. Seems too easy. I think they're trying to dupe us again. The clue writer must have something against Newell and just wants to see it get trashed every year.

Does anyone want me to phone them with the cle at 11:30...I will be downtown. I'd like to help facilitate getting it on the web for you all!

I'm sorry Rob--please repeat theory--I am trying to write reports for work and do this at the same time, and the server is skipping posts...

This message is to the ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS...there is an opening to a light post with wires inside of it (near the ballfield) at NEWELL. It's possible that someone would be tempted to reach in there, hoping to pull out a medallion. It's only about 12 inches from the ground. I didn't attempt to "extract" the medallion, but it did fit my definition of a "chase."

Hey Kid and Cosmo,
The City of Crystal hides an object and posts the clues to reveal its location on the door of a community center. Somewhat similar to the Winter Carnival hunt but known as The Crystal Ball and is only worth 1G.
They hide the ball in a Crystal park during the Crystal Frolics in July.

The Medallion isn't even out yet. The carnival hasn't started, no one hardly ever wins, if ever, before the WC starts. I believe someone going to "drop" the medallion at the park where it's at tonight.
