That clue #4 thing works out well. I've been thinking there is some sort of hidden meaning in that clue!

Kellogg has a plaque with Pigs Eye looking towards the 1st bank tower, and a magnit school but I don't see any cloudy foul mood or opposits.

Have we missed the obvious? We haven't talked much about street names. They usually point in that direction by clue #6!!!! All of these clues can't be landmarks, alone!

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.

Thanks,

Steve

This last clue "a well trained eye" eludes to Iris Park, also it is located in the Midway area "opposites attract" (St. Paul & Mpls) , but looking to King Boreas' direction would be to look to St. Paul, and this park is close to the Amtrak Depot. Also it is a small park, and could almost miss it (so as to need to be astute to find it.), but the rest of the clues - I don't know how they would fit in.

I don't want to get in the way of your jam session, but I just wanted to say something. I work at the PP, so I can't join the hunt. I've been enjoying all the posts during the past few days. This is the closest I can come to participating in the contest. I guess the one thing I can boast is that I've actually held the medallion in my hand. It's really neat. I hope that you all get to do that some day. Keep up the good work! It will be interesting when they reveal what the clues mean--then we'll know who was right, etc. Anyway, thanks for the fun!!:)
