Its At Hidden Falls, in one of the clues it said something to the likes of not in sight well not in sight also means it would be hidden and its right by the airport which if i recall seperates St Paul and Minneapolis. Look in clue 3 with the circular and linking, well take the letter C from the first line and link in to the bottom what do you get? CITY. Hidden falls links the City St Paul to Minneapolis!!!!!
Another noodle....all the militaristic words in the clues....deploy, destroy,ad infinitum(latin...used in military alot) steer clear, duel, etc.... makes me think of a battleship or maybe a battle creek, which does have an east & west park.
I'm pretty sure tonight we'll have the herds properly divided between the parks. Who cares about being the first person to dig actively in your chosen park? If you're wrong, you're in a worse position than you started.
also, if you have seen harriet island since the makeover....there is loads of circular architecture. bike racks, benches, lights. waste cans etc., all seem to have circles in their designs...??
If the Parks have gates, if there're fragile things there, if the *smell* of the area will apt to be a problem to the public, the medallion will not be hidden there. The PP doesn't care, they don't want problems. I'm concerned about these things w/ Phalen and Como, regardless of how well everything seems to fit.
Hey cluemaster....look for me out there in st paul when you are hunting, I will be wearing a suede T-wolves jacket. I would like to meet you & other cooler crew folks.
The problem with all you non-logical thinkers out there is the dilemma of making everything work for your clues.
If you're looking for something specific, if you're looking at one park because you want it to be that park, you'll always find what you need to make things work. Circular tables, (ahem, no offense Allison :), shrinking, yielding, toes, whatever. You can make anything work.
Keep it simple for a LITTLE while longer... Then see where the common ideas lie and use logic to solve the problems. :)
Another Noodle is Hillcrest...Bank = Hill Non-Depression = Crest ...East and West Ball Fields....Playground....Thinking = Library...Circular Not in View...Highland Water Towers at the Top of Ford Parkway which Borders Park.....
Just some Noodling
Nobody was at Highland around 4:00 when I drove through there
Hello out there! ~ this is Star from the East Side. Where are all the diggers? Haven't seen too much commotion out there anywhere and I have checked out a lot of sites.
Matt -- I agree; forcing the clues to fit your favorite park will only lead to frostbite and frustration.
(That being said, "east and west ... only one is the proper place" could be interpreted as implying the old saying, "east shall be east and west shall be west, and never the twain shall meet," which leads to Mark Twain, which leads to Huck Finn, which leads to the Mississippi River. Or maybe not.)
I don't know about you guys but I don' think this thing is going to be found for at least three more days so I think the best thing to do is visit some of the parks that it could be at so you know the surroundings and then just wait for a couple more clues before you actually start digging
What is "out of View" at Harriet Island?

not that i think it is their,but Como has a "one way" street that cirles the lake.........
we're grasping ant staws here does anyone have any real evidence
GFIY - I like your take on the 'Playing' music thing at Harriet or somewhere there is a band shell.
thanks cluemaster......how do you like my disc golf noodle??
I was just at Eastview park doesnt look too bad??
Nice "Battle' reference as well. Boy, where did you come from.
That was your Disc golf too!! Wow
Big
Joe Medallion
Unfortunately, you still have me bouncing all over St. Paul. Nice ideas though
Nice Joe Clue Master-going to the PP tonight?
I liked the (East) River Road and (West) 7th Street tie-in to HF
I should say Easview rec center it is not called a park

I haven't ruled out Phalen yet either....it has: East shore drive on the east bank & round lake on the west side...
clue #5 should narrow the "playing" field I hope..??..

Phalen has not been gated during the treasure hunt for at least the past 5-6 years....i have been out there at night.
as far as Como goes....I think it is the most common park for the medalion to be hidden over its history.
Hey cluemaster....look for me out there in st paul when you are hunting, I will be wearing a suede T-wolves jacket. I would like to meet you & other cooler crew folks.
both como and highland have had the medallion five times
Okay, has anyone verified that Phalen isn't gated at night this year? I hope not... I'm liking Phalen. :)
Como has snow sculptures and the like, there have been complaints lodged in the past about destruction of properties.
phalen is not gated
I kinda do too Matt.....it has been a long time since Phalen was the site....it seems like it is time.
Hi guys - still slogging - by the looks of it, I might be until the next clue :).
Just a reminder: The film crew is NOT FILMING at McGovern's tonight!
Ahhhhhhhhh..... heck.....who am I kidding.....just name a park & I'll make it fit the clues...I hate those dam clue writers. heheheheh
I just did some reading on the history of the rebirth of Harriet. It gives directions to the park. It mentions getting there from the east and west.
Circular thinking ....Plato will link you to the park...Cherokee? First Bank building visible from up there....anyone..anyone??

agreed.
Yo,Yo,Yo in a botttle of rum! A big hey to me hommies out der!LOL!

The medaillion was found at Hidden Falls in 93 and I'm pretty sure it has gates on it.
The medallion has gates on it????????????????Wow!
Hidden Falls, lol
Oh! That'd be pretty cool if they hid it there cause that park has gates on it too!LOL!
Sorry wolfie I'm in a mood........:)
