I'm amazed by the number of people out digging who don't even have a magic Frisbee. Perhaps they are unaware that Frisbees are attracted to medallions.

On the old Dick VanDyke show the kids middle name was "Rosebud" I don't know what that has to do with anything but just thought you would like to know.

Yes, I've been searching with my Frisbee. Unfortunately, I have not gotten close enough to the medallion with it. I am sure that if it flies near enough, it will land directly above the med.

Has anyone found the meaning of the three pyramids? or is the bathrooms at Cherokee the only place thought of so far?

Just got back from Cherokee. Lots of people, but it is getting dark and cold so I think people will start going in, especially the ones with kids.

Am I the only who thinks there is more to that code clue than dome?

Dr. S. Livingston

I don't believe so. If it has then no one said anything. I'm going back out after a bite to eat. It will be the true die-hard that finds it. Oh yeah, Andy Van Dyke, Dick's brother, his middle name is Rosebud.

I suppose y'all wouldn't belive me if I told you I have already found the medallion and am waiting for the last minute to report my find?

I just e-mailed PP and asked them to repost if it was found.

Has any one read Jim Walsh's diary for today. It tells of a lady and her friend that believe it is on the east side. Also, yesterday's was about mounds park. Could this Jim be on to something?

Maybe this Jim Walsh writes the clues and his diary is a little extra for the clue hunters to pick up on.

Any ideas on what a future clue could be to narrow the search?

Cherokee fits but then again... So many people have been there! It's amazing if it's there that it hasn't been found! I wonder if it is buried in the snow, considering our lack of it so far this ear and with the warm temperatures?! Makes me wonder... If it's not in the snow, what else is there at Cherokee that hasn't been searched? And what about landmarks for the next clues? As for Ivy Park, the only one I found was Ivy Falls (or something similar) and that's not in Ramsey County. The Dominos' guys I talked to mentioned Baker Park. Went there, too, but that doesn't add up either. Well, I'm ramblin' but I'm frustrated (like many of you, I'm sure!) I just hope if I don't stumble upon it that another "die hard" does.

Is there anywhere else I can buy a paper that is closer to Cherokee than the Pioneer Press Bldg? I will be venturing back out at 11pm. (I'm in WI so I have a ways to travel and if there's a gas station on the way...)
