they lock the gates... every night of every year... woouldn't it be obvious if all of a sudden they didn't lock the gates anymore... besides they have no idea if the medallion is there they don't tell the police where it is
locked gates are nothing to worry about, i was at hidden falls and the guard there kicked us out at ten saying he would have been informed if it were there. so i wouldn't worry about gates being locked at this time
About clue 6: Can you see the train tracks from the park, or even a passing train? Maybe the medallion's on the passing Am(trak)"red-(eye)" to Chicago?
Hey just think about this though for a sec. If it was at a big park dont you think they would have said the name already, i mean so far they nailed the streets down for newell, one problem though what the hell is it hidden in? I mean it could be newspaper with the "Read this well" clue. And damnit for the last time clue 2 has nothing to do with races
Just got back from Newell, maybe 200 people are there. I have to say, I'm not 100% convinced (this may mean I'm in 'denial') but MOST of the clues seem to fit. Nobody seems to have any idea where in the park to dig, hopefully tonight's clue helps...
Do they use the same medallion every year? If so, can anyone tell me the relative size of this thing? Is the diameter that of a poker chip, hockey puck, or a dinner plate?
also if there is any truth to astute actually being statue... i know there is a statue in phalen other then the ice castle one... but for the life of me cant remember who it is... i walked around that lake everyday when i pregnant with my first son... can see it clear as day
Clue #1- In a St. Paul park, not on a golf course.
Clue #2- Still not 100% sure myself. Might just mean the park has tennis courts.
Clue #3- There are a couple of towers visible from the park (attempt to be sneaky coming up) Look for the MEDALLION in Boreas' direction (north by my interpretation).
Clue #4- The park has multiple picnic shelters
Clue #5- The park is near the State Fair
Clue #6- The park is near train tracks
Clue #7- The park lies between Fairview (pleasant scene) and Wheeler (a turning machine).

was at urban (re) newell earlier this morning, and yesterday. is it possible the turning machine could be the on the play ground near the spinning (turning) wheel, the kids play on?
for 1 refuse to believe its at newell... have to go with my gut here... it would just be to easy with these clues if it were there... only other place i dont think it is for obvious reasons is mounds... it will never be there again

You guys make the clues harder than they need to be. Go and look at past years clues..... they arent so unbelievably complex. Today's clue points so much towards newell. I would be really shocked if it was anywhere but newell.
Clue #3: has it been ruled out that King Boreas' direction means toward downtown St. Paul? If so, are there towers visible when looking toward downtown St. Paul from Newell?
Clue #4: "cooking." Sure there are BBQ grills at Newell, but they are at many parks
Clue #5: opposites attract. I haven't heard any discussion about magnet schools lately, has this theory been dropped? There is no magnet school by Newell, or is there?
I guess it just seems like many of the clues could apply to just about any park, and therefore how can we be justified in being certain it's Newell?
ok remember last year when they got us to newell until the last few clues. But now in one of the clues it says well-trained, This word with the - in it is not in the dictionary. And then it says stay on the attack, so this time stay with newell
I wonder if there are even many people out at Phalen today?
And you can't have a chase on the lake w/o water! The races are held on the lake. Lake=water.
tell you why in a couple of min

But that's not the kind of traditional water clue I was referring to.
I don't think it has been found on a beach, but there's no reason it couldn't be.
thanx digger been wondering
Phalen is SPRING FED, from the bottom of the lake. And your right, there is a LOT of phalen park, and keller.
Hey Good morning to you all, Im goin out in about an hour but wanted to drop by to see whats up?
Hey Allison anything new come up from last night to now?
ty gahnzo... so got spring feed be classified as a well then?
Who says the Clue Writer has to be "traditional." And I know of no other park #2 fits as well. Or any other park that has races in it.
so...I am hearing maybe Highland...maybe Phalen...maybe Battle Creek and maybe Linwood and Newel (where is Newel?)????
Well, I have to meet someone and still get some lunch so I guess I'll need to go now. Good luck to everyone, wherever you end up.
Good luck to you, too, Allison! See ya!
got= could in previous post somehow...lol
Hi Rob, no just the same. A few people in denial about Newell (corner of Fairview and Pierce Butler, just south of Midway stadium)
Bonjorno coolerheads.
The Bandit is leaning towards Newell. Green, you still set on your 'secret park?'
Does anybody think that it could be on the Highland Park tennis courts??
the pace/track hint in clue 2 made me think of highland and the track near the school...
About clue 6: Can you see the train tracks from the park, or even a passing train? Maybe the medallion's on the passing Am(trak)"red-(eye)" to Chicago?
and then again in clue 6... track attack=highlanders? reaching?

Denial City here! That's me!
Two! Hay! I'm still in Phalen!
You can see an old train bed from Phalen.
I still like the theory of "well trained" as triad newell = try at newell

I'm going to fill yall in on a little secret!
They drop the MEDALLION on one of the last two days!
Last year at conway, the area in which aaron(inside job)neirdork found it, it had been torn upside down about 30 times!
I am sure the jackasses drop it the lsat day!
They want to sell papers and they want to get people invloved in the CARNIVAL!
I just hope no one has a heart attack diggin for the damn thing!!
On the north end of phalen are train tracks
Thw worry right now isnt what ittiz hidden in, but where ittiz hidden
I still like the theory of "well trained" as triad newell = try at newell
Do they use the same medallion every year? If so, can anyone tell me the relative size of this thing? Is the diameter that of a poker chip, hockey puck, or a dinner plate?

The simple explanation: for Newell Park
Clue #1- In a St. Paul park, not on a golf course.
Clue #2- Still not 100% sure myself. Might just mean the park has tennis courts.
Clue #3- There are a couple of towers visible from the park (attempt to be sneaky coming up) Look for the MEDALLION in Boreas' direction (north by my interpretation).
Clue #4- The park has multiple picnic shelters
Clue #5- The park is near the State Fair
Clue #6- The park is near train tracks
Clue #7- The park lies between Fairview (pleasant scene) and Wheeler (a turning machine).
and then again in clue 6... track attack=highlanders? reaching?

The medallion is the size of an oreo cookie. That is what it was hidden in when it was at Phalen last.
A little smaller than a hockey puck and thinner!!
I have to say ittiz in Newell. Too much typing and not enough digging. I am out of here.
Just remember everyone thought Newell Last year and it was not found there.... I think Phalen, b/c there is a lot history there
was at urban (re) newell earlier this morning, and yesterday. is it possible the turning machine could be the on the play ground near the spinning (turning) wheel, the kids play on?
Why are you making these clues SO hard?
for 1 refuse to believe its at newell... have to go with my gut here... it would just be to easy with these clues if it were there... only other place i dont think it is for obvious reasons is mounds... it will never be there again
Good points about the turning machine...am going to look for it....
See you guys later!!!
I'm outta here too!, Bye guys!

Doubts about Newell:
Clue #2: setting your pace? astute/statue?
Clue #3: has it been ruled out that King Boreas' direction means toward downtown St. Paul? If so, are there towers visible when looking toward downtown St. Paul from Newell?
Clue #4: "cooking." Sure there are BBQ grills at Newell, but they are at many parks
Clue #5: opposites attract. I haven't heard any discussion about magnet schools lately, has this theory been dropped? There is no magnet school by Newell, or is there?
I guess it just seems like many of the clues could apply to just about any park, and therefore how can we be justified in being certain it's Newell?
Hancock magnet school is very close to Newell
ok remember last year when they got us to newell until the last few clues. But now in one of the clues it says well-trained, This word with the - in it is not in the dictionary. And then it says stay on the attack, so this time stay with newell
who thinks its at phalen, and what do you get out of todays clue?
whats wrong with the webx man
