Okay maybe's there's 2 sets of track and you need to be on the right on instead of the left?

I think that is the whole idea dog they are trying to throw people off what choices do we have for small parks

Now that I think about it though they all are pretty close to a body of water

Which ones are no where near water say if right now because they haven't said anything about water anyways

Here's a thought what if clue #1 is saying not a park with a golf course near it or in it doesn't that get rid of a couple parks??

Does anyone feel that St. Paul should have made another ice castle or something big to mark the year 2000?

I've been hunting this 'medallion' thing for 20 years now and have come so close, within 20 - 30 yards and have not been the finder... (but i am not really that old) and i still wonder if they don't just drop it of at a spot at clue ten - tweleve....you know it MUST help sales....

THE ROCK SAYS

"LET PIE SPEAK"

I've narrowed it to 3 starting with first preference!

1. SWEDE HOLLOW

2. BATTLE CREEK off 61

3. NEWELL

PHALEN isn't out but it is fading fast!!

Pie was going to call this on clue #5 what happen? a bloodless hunter attack.

I really think swede hollow is out to. vikings depression thing is just because they didn't do to hot and everyone is mad

was a battle today too.. alot of curiosity but no bit

Snow Lifter

the big park of Battle Creek is in Maplewood....so it would have to be in the smaller part. When you are in the smaller part...you cannot see any towers or have any clues fit

Kiwi

nope

Near Holman Field= Raspberry (Navy) Island, the Esplanade, Mounds, Lower (Lambert's Landing), Wabasha Terrace, maybe Harriet Island, viewage from Swede Hollow i hear.

I agree with kiwi..no vikings victory...let's move an and battle creek is maplewood...not st.paul

Harriet is out construction there

what about keller?

Fri, 01/28/2000 - 3:42 AM Permalink
Schlettdog

And it will be a dandy when they're finished. A fine option for next year's hunt...a good chance for promoting the new makeover. Mark my words.

Schlettdog

Keller isn't a St. Paul Park I think.

Fri, 01/28/2000 - 3:44 AM Permalink
Kiwi

okay if the clues don't start saying something about water the only two parks left are swede hollow and mears

Fri, 01/28/2000 - 3:44 AM Permalink
Schlettdog

Kiwi, can you argue that claim a little?

Fri, 01/28/2000 - 3:48 AM Permalink
Kiwi

There is a lewis park north to does anyone know if that is in the area for the medallion

Fri, 01/28/2000 - 3:48 AM Permalink
Kiwi

What do you mean exactly I can argue just about anything but give me an idea

Fri, 01/28/2000 - 3:48 AM Permalink
Schlettdog

Here's what got me scared earlier. I just remembered this. Around 1:00, I think, Medallion Freak suddenly became convinced that clue 6 only leaves you with 2 parks to choose from. What did he decipher that would lead him to one of these parks while refusing to tell us anything else?

Fri, 01/28/2000 - 3:51 AM Permalink
Kiwi

Dog do you mean about the water thing? If you do then I will I have a decent argue for everything I state

Fri, 01/28/2000 - 3:52 AM Permalink
Kiwi

Yes, that might be what he was thinking too.

Fri, 01/28/2000 - 3:52 AM Permalink
Kiwi

Mears and swede are the only two that aren't near a body of water on land atleast not too sure about the water towers though

Fri, 01/28/2000 - 3:53 AM Permalink
Schlettdog

I don't know. I just feel that you may be falling into the trap of picking a park and then working backwards to match a few clues to that park. That will kill you.

Fri, 01/28/2000 - 3:53 AM Permalink
Kiwi

and the farthest north one is swede if this is what we conclude at this point

Fri, 01/28/2000 - 3:54 AM Permalink
Kiwi

Well, hopefully they will have a better clue tommorow so we can decide for sure what we can and can't use for parks.
