Digby- The towers are to the west. A smokestack and a radio tower (owned by Capital 2-way communicataion). King Boreas direction is north or east - probably where the medallion is located.
I am also not sold on Newell, but was after the fourth clue.
some people are using State Fair rides as references. Curious why? Other than the Space Tower, all other rides are gone for the year. Not visible from Newell. I just couldn't remember how bad the view of the fairgrounds and train tracks is from Newell till I went there last night and verified it..
ohhh...so Indian Mounds park is different than Mounds park?! Or are they one in the same?! I thought Mounds was on the St. Paul down town side...and along Sheppard Rd...right by the river..is this wrong?
Digby, still think Phalen. Though Mounds could work. That damn beacon used to light up my wifes bedroom all night. And she lived a block from Battle Creek
There is Indian Mounds Park which most people just refer to as Mound. That is where the turning beacon, etc. are. There is also a little park actually called Mound Park about 2 blocks south of Indian Mound which can only be accessed from 2 dead end, and believe me, hard to find streets. There are tennis courts there, etc...but there is absolutely no view of anything from there because it is surrounded by a thick layer of trees.
Hey all just back from newell. Still have some doubts. Didn't seem to be a very big croud for most thinking that it is Newell. I was kind of interested in the vollyball and the basketball being on the same court.
Destiny-chat site is www.medallionhunt.8m.com, but I am on there right now, and the only people there have been idle for a long time. Not a whole lot of chat. You will definitely get more info on here than on there.
The thing that gets me about Newell is that from the majority of the park I can't see the towers that everyone is refuring to. But that could just be what the clue is saying by should see a tower or 2.
I have a question for you. This might be a really dumb question. I know that they sell the sunday paper on saturday here and was wondering about the clue. Would one be in there? Past years I have never been the one to get the clues. So I have no idea.
Goin' out to Newell in a little bit. Just waiting for "E & H's Dad" to get up from a little nap. Then, hafta feed baby Natalie, and we'll be outta here.
Was at Newell for a couple hours after the clue this morning...the thing that really pins it there for me was the last clue. A pleasant scene and a turning machine almost has to equal Fairview and Wheeler, and it would make sense that the med would be somewhere in between.
those in this room should have a greeting, like "Digger!!"to find other hunters we know. Ah well, just a thought, gonna go check out Phalen. Was very close last time it was found there, bout 20 ft to short. Talk to you all later.
A couple years back, someone suggested that all from the "cooler crew" - and that's what we ALL are from the med board - wear some article of clothing that was white. Should be something out of place - like a diaper on his arm. That way all coolerheads were easily identifiable.....
HEY SHARK!!!!!! :) i HAVE TO RUN TO MASS...TELL THESE FOLKS WHAT YOU THOUGHT ABOUT AND THEN LET ME KNOW LATER...SHOULD BE HOME IN A BIT...AFTER MASS... :)

I think the only reference to the Fair should be the clue about the opposite of Foul
I think that is the correct site for the live chat, try it again. I am also on there right now...not much going on.
ohhh...so Indian Mounds park is different than Mounds park?! Or are they one in the same?! I thought Mounds was on the St. Paul down town side...and along Sheppard Rd...right by the river..is this wrong?
Shovel..is there a chat line on about this medallion thing?! If so, what is the address?
need to check out mound anyone want to meet and figure this riddle out , i need to see the view there in the day to see the landmarks around

digby...I would meet up with you and try and figure it out...but I have to go to mass in a bit...sorry..maybe tomorrow?!

ill be at mound it about an hour with a white and blue jacket carring a large orange shovel see you people and good luck

Anyone still thinking Phalen?
Could everyone fill me in on what they believe the turning machine is please!?!
This just in: The St Paul winter carnival medallion has been found in Boston, MA. Apparently drifting snows blew it there.
OK, OK...maybe not, but the clues all do point to Boston.
How is Phalen? Has any of it been dug up? Newell is getting pretty dug up.
LOL Shovel. I need some humor right about now. A day of digging will do that to you.
Does anyone talk about anything constructive that also pertains to the medallion in here?
What other clues point to capitol mall I am very interested?
I have a question for you. This might be a really dumb question. I know that they sell the sunday paper on saturday here and was wondering about the clue. Would one be in there? Past years I have never been the one to get the clues. So I have no idea.
Hiyall....
Goin' out to Newell in a little bit. Just waiting for "E & H's Dad" to get up from a little nap. Then, hafta feed baby Natalie, and we'll be outta here.
Was at Newell for a couple hours after the clue this morning...the thing that really pins it there for me was the last clue. A pleasant scene and a turning machine almost has to equal Fairview and Wheeler, and it would make sense that the med would be somewhere in between.
It still doesn't feel right for me though....
Shoveler, Damn, I knew it wasnt in Minnesota...Must have been carried to Boston from that last snowstorm we had. hehehe
I also don't get the FEELING that it is there. Something just doesn't seem right for me and I can't pinpoint it.
those in this room should have a greeting, like "Digger!!"to find other hunters we know. Ah well, just a thought, gonna go check out Phalen. Was very close last time it was found there, bout 20 ft to short. Talk to you all later.
LL, you been to phalen today at all? or anybody? just wonderin what the scene is like. Locusts arrive yet?
A couple years back, someone suggested that all from the "cooler crew" - and that's what we ALL are from the med board - wear some article of clothing that was white. Should be something out of place - like a diaper on his arm. That way all coolerheads were easily identifiable.....
ATTENTION!!!!! THE MEDALLION HAS BEEN FOUND. NOT SURE WHERE. GO CHECK YOURSELF AND CALL THE FRICKEN NUMBER
hey guys don't trust me call yourself 651-228-5464 I was found
NO BS, somebody got it.
OK, nitpickin' time: In reference to clue #2, & apart from obvious interpretation, how does one "get yourself out"?
HAve people decided or come to the conclusion that the turning machine is ... wheeler (as in the street) Tennis court crank Merry-go-round
Or WHAT? Which of the mentioned parks have any of these and is there park in between the turning machine and a pleasureable scene?
Guess that means I dont have to go out and look for it.
Well, so much for that. Can't WAIT for those explanations to be posted!!!
Destiny.... I finally got this to work :)
Damn, that just takes the wind out of my sails. Was hopin it would go down to the wire. Wonder if they will post the "explaination" tonight?
All over till next year!!!!
Guess I let Dad nap just a little too long.....
Was originally planning to be out there this morning, then 3:00, then whenever....Oh Bother!
Explanation in tomorrow's paper.
HEY SHARK!!!!!! :) i HAVE TO RUN TO MASS...TELL THESE FOLKS WHAT YOU THOUGHT ABOUT AND THEN LET ME KNOW LATER...SHOULD BE HOME IN A BIT...AFTER MASS... :)
ME!!!
Ok, so when is the re-hash bash, and does that mean we need to bring "hash" to participate? may help make the clues make sense....
DID SOMEONE ACTUALLY FIND IT??? WHERE?!
I FOUND IT!!!! I'VE BEEN HOLDEN ON TO THIS THING FOR THE LAST TWO CLUES. WHILE YOU SORRY RETARDED PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DIG IT UP.
JIM--DID SOMEONE FIND IT?!
