Highlander... Phalen is one of the Parks I have not yet checked out. Highland, Cherokee, Battle Creek, and of course the fan favorite Newell all have good arguements, what's the draw to Phalen
draw to phalen is the astute-statue of the 1986 ice castle with 2 towers that overlooks a BBQ & sheltered picnic area with towers off in the distance to the north, If you haven't been there yet, I suggest taking a look...it has adequate parking...it's directly across the street from the G.C> parking lot! Just a stab in the dark...but according to my dictionary the word Phalanx refers to "a formation of infantry" ...WARS clur thing...anyone have any thoughts?
Attention past finders of the treasure!!!! I would like a group photo for the Treasure Hunter's Guide "Hall of Fame". Please send me an e-mail to see if we can get together at the park. Give me your hunting schedule for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
Steve - I wonder if the PP would help you find past finders. I know the guy from last year didn't even know about this site...or had a computer for all I know.
Highlander.... what is the deal with looking to the north Boreas was not the king of the North it was his brother Titan. Boreas was known as the king of the woods. I think you have to look towards St.Paul which would be southwest of Phalen any towers that way?
Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself to completely.
The medallion is wrapped in newspaper in a bunch of woods that is going to be hard as hell to find. Damn the PP. Why do they have to do this to us all out hunters?
Then the sad thing was last year i wonder when they put that little arrow with a 4 on it pointing down on the tree where the medallion was last year. That pissed me off cause i never saw that when i went by it.
I was just looking on the coolercrew site of past hiding places, and it lists the 1970 spot as Battle Creek Park, MAPLEWOOD. But the 1995 listing doesn't say Maplewood. Is part of the park in Maplewood and the other part St. Paul??
Becky...disappointing coming from a winter carnival sight, but is that story written by Medallion officials...or did someone come up with that on their own?
Allie its a great idea, i myself just got back there an hour ago and there were at least 50 people there. Im going there tomorrow all night to look for it (hopin the clue still fits for B.C.) If your goin out there tomorrow do you wanna meet me out there?
According to alot of people you shold change it to Battle Creek, but I'm stickin to Phalen cuz you and I know that we'll be splittin 10K pretty soon!!!!
Flyfan, There are actually 2 BC parks, one is E of McKnight (Maplewood), the other is W of McKnight (St. Paul). The one south of McKnight is just off of Upper Afton and Ruth, which is where the school and rec ctr are located. This location is the one between Upper and Lower Afton roads.
Allison--remember that they are having the contest tonight at paper. From my perch high atop the city, most people have been putting the hazards on and dashing in to PP--but tonight there will be a crowd. You will probably have to park.
I still say, they put it in Minneapolis, just to p*** us off....just kidding...too much goin on at como, Highland is too obvious, and just cause they put it in Conway last year, dont think they wouldnt put it in Battle Creek....
joe
Opposites attract....Upper Afton and Lower Afton border BC and the Magnet school is nearby the former hiding place...just a mental fart...

Thanks Regal

Newell is not it ...came from there a while ago...nothing fits other than the streets...Fairview and Pierce-Butler...if that is a match with the clue

Highlander where do you get Phalanx?
Steve(TheTreasureHunter'sGuide) I just picked up a copy of your book...well done...very helpful....
Signing off. Talk to you all at 0730 or so (or at least those of you who will be here then).
Steve - I wonder if the PP would help you find past finders. I know the guy from last year didn't even know about this site...or had a computer for all I know.

Where can i get the treasure hunter book?
Rob...out of thin air...just snooping around the dictionary...Phalan..Phalanx...I really don't know : )
Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself to completely.
If you go downtown to get a paper, do you have to park and go inside?
Rob'sWay ... the Hungry Mind bookstore on Grand I think its called Ruminator books now...
Becky: In the encyclopedia I looked at...King Boreas WAS King of the North Winds...then other gods were listed for every other direction???
The medallion is wrapped in newspaper in a bunch of woods that is going to be hard as hell to find. Damn the PP. Why do they have to do this to us all out hunters?
Hey, Ian. How are you? I owe you. Hope I can return the favor one of these years.
I think it might be Swede Hollow. . .
The "vikings depression" line fits, and there are some towers to the north.
No one digging there, though.
What are the two towers at Battle Creek? Anyone have any idea?
I've got three years covered.... who can get the others?
Then the sad thing was last year i wonder when they put that little arrow with a 4 on it pointing down on the tree where the medallion was last year. That pissed me off cause i never saw that when i went by it.

To settle the Boreas dispute going on... In mythology he is considered North, for the Winter Carnival it is all winds. Which one does one use???
Two water towers at BC Allie...or so it said in clue #3 in 1995
Wut up Paul. Phalen Smitty is in.
Becky...disappointing coming from a winter carnival sight, but is that story written by Medallion officials...or did someone come up with that on their own?
I'll have to drive out there. Battle Creek is sounding good.
Smitty - what's goin on? finally got in I see...I am now forced to change my name due to the fact that Highland no longer impresses me!
Allie its a great idea, i myself just got back there an hour ago and there were at least 50 people there. Im going there tomorrow all night to look for it (hopin the clue still fits for B.C.) If your goin out there tomorrow do you wanna meet me out there?
Highlander..... I dunno I did a search on the web and came up with that site. Time to get a paper and see where it leads us.... I'm Out.

After seeing that sight tonight, Phalen is almost a lock, now I can't wait for the clue to see how it fits in!
95-Battle Creek, 96- Harriet Island, 97- Como, 98-Cherokee, 99-Conway, 00- Battle Creek??? Too close to Conway
Does anyone know if the T-Wolves won 2nite?
Allison--remember that they are having the contest tonight at paper. From my perch high atop the city, most people have been putting the hazards on and dashing in to PP--but tonight there will be a crowd. You will probably have to park.
T-Wolves lost 92-80
Damn, they were doing awesome.
T-wolves lost and by the way.....does anyone know if the medallion was hidden in the same place two years in a row?
Damn, they were doing awesome.
I still like #6. Have there been hunters there---are there hunters there?
Stev..nobody there around 8 o'clock...I see your logic though
