Wow that clue looks like it might actually mean something. I leave town for 10 days on Saturday, so I won't really be able to look for it.

Oakdale #1

Summer at last! Summer at last!

Shout to the north and shout to the south

Summerfest is here – it’s summer at last!

Sleuths of all levels, itÂ’s that time of year.

The Summerfest medallion beckons you here.

Some clues will make you zag,

While other make you zig.

Remember the Golden Rule:

You wonÂ’t need to climb, swim, or dig

Manatou Days Hunt

Medallion Hunt Clues Clue #1:

Looking for an event that pays during Manitou Days?

Well, five Ben Franklins should bring you pleasure.

The lake may be low – but our civic pride overflows:

So, grab a friend and come search for hidden treasure!

Tap the force to chart your course

Let intelligence and lunacy meet.

Embrace your inner titan as youÂ’re fightinÂ’

Claim your place among the hunting elite.

Clue #2:

In May of Â’58 residents held an historic debate

There, on the cool shores of Goose Lake.

A municipality born, but no one could forewarn.

The cartographical form that it would later take.

With a little zeal, a few clicks can reveal.

Information thatÂ’ll make your heart quake.

Mind this order: study the meandering border.

Explore the original town of White Bear Lake.

Clue #3:

From a birdÂ’s eye view, let all creativity imbue

Imagine three ponds of water connected as one.

The horse looks southwestÂ…see what we suggest?

Now off to that neighborhood you run!

Now, among the frogs slant weathered logs

Just more unanswered calls along the track.

Still wanting more? Seek out padlocks galore

Affixed to structures just right for the pack.

Clue #4:

A foreboding creature, a doctorÂ’s feature

Speaking for those without voices.

Out of this he did pop, once it had lost its top

Scolding the green hands for his choices.

Assemble your legion along a border region;

Of boundaries make careful inspection.

Out of the pen run the goose and wren

With a farm serving as their connection.

Clue #5:

WeÂ’ve chosen a beautiful spot surrounded by many a lot

Busy families scurry to and fro.

Hear a Labrador bark, see a meadowlark

A true conservational victory! But, read below:

We had to inquire, but waste was once burned by fire

And what remains lay safely sealed beneath your toes.

View objects of ventilation, some even with rotation

Turning and turning until all does finally decompose.

Oakdale's hunt didn't update their clue today. Looks like someone tried to upload the same file/filename. The hotline has the clue though. Mentions Education and reaping what you sow.. Possibly thinking oakdale park near the old shoolhouse? I think they had some new planting areas over there.

Oakdale's medallion was found in Oakdale Nature Preserve (north end of oakdale park). I guessed the right park, but the clues were way too easy. I'm waiting to see if they post the answers online, however this year they had issues the entire hunt just posting the clues online....

Think I'll call in and complain :smile: lol

Clue One

Before you start your search today there are some things to know

The rules include some places where you do not need to go

From golf course, Arboretum and the Oval, stay away

And at the nature center the medallion will not lay

Clue Two

If you were searching last year then you would already know

That Willow PondÂ’s the resting place we chose for hiding, so

The challenge for you this year you can meet so easily:

To find a Roseville park whose name does not contain a tree

Clue one basically says it will not be at these places:

- Cedarholm golf course

- Roseville skating center (OVAL)

- Harriet Alexander Nature Center

- Muriel Sahlin Arboretum

Clue two basically says it's not in Roseville parks that have "tree" names:

- Autumn Grove

- Cottontail Park

- Mapleview Park

- Acorn Park

- Evergreen Park

- Reservoir Woods

- Applewood Park

Clue Number 1

Another year has come and gone,

Lumberjack Days has now come along,

The treasure is once again smartly hid,

If you find it you'll feel like a kid.

You need to look on public land,

But keep your feet out of the sand.

It's along hwy 89 somewhere anyway :wink:

Cool :smile:

Yeah.. midwest.. my guess is they'll pick someplace smack dab in the middle.. like Kansas, or something.

Interesting concept though, I guess it is easier to hide a car when you're dealing with a large search area.

Well it isn't in California as depicted in the video anyway

Clue Master

Oh I get it. That video was for the first car. Can't wait to try it on the 16th. We could figure this out way fast I'm guessing!

I plan on being up early on Friday anyway. Plus I'll have a partner in another Midwest state just in case it's not around here. This is where that 565hp might come in handy. :cool:

http://www.youtube.com/user/dodge :cool:

The last one was located just south of Lake Tahoe

Mount Rushmore, Black Hills, Badlands, Crazy Horse, Deadwood, Wall Drug, Corn Palace....

Wherever it ends up, if they follow the CA drop, it will be open land, so you shouldn't need to go into a park to get it, but perhaps near one.

Watch them put it in Texas, as they're just trying for the middle of the country, and figure there are more people down that way.

Clue Master

I don't think Texas is considered Midwest

I know the Black Hills area pretty well - good scenery - but an abandoned vehicle would stand out there like a forest fire. Makes you wonder if they move it into a garage at night or something so people don't call the cops asking questions.

KC0GRN

I don't consider it Midwest either, but nevertheless....

Clue Master

I haven't seen that graphic. That might hold true since they showed a map of what they call the midwest.

I'm calling Missouri

ares

my guess is right underneath the 2.

all several hundred square miles of it.

Midwest Journey goes live tomorrow, 9/17. I'll be keeping an eye on it. I'm assuming they choose weekends to do it to give the 9-5ers a chance to find it?

Wherever it ends up, it will be off Route 66 - almost guarantee it.

Just because of that one shot in the commercial? At least J is in Missouri. Maybe she and sis can go find the thing and make us proud. I plan on waiting for the 300mile clue at midnight tonight. It might even be 11 since part of their Midwest area is in the Eastern time zone.

Yuppers! Good call. I figured that was for just the first West clue only.



It's gotta be within 200 miles of Youkon Ok right now

actually the pin went in at OK city not Yukon. I thought it was suppose to start with a 300 mile radius?

Too bad we're not down that way. It may even be too far from Springfield Mo. where J is right now. 30 minutes till next clue

You have to solve the first clue in order to get the one to play at 10am. You need to drop the pin in Ok City OK

HaHa I'm having fun with this all by myself. Coffee time I think until the next clue comes out. At least J is just about at the 200 mile radius line of this first clue anyway.

Joplin, Dallas/Fort Worth, Wichita(falls)?

HaHa! Ali always asked that when watching The Price is Right show. Smart kids.

I like how Dodge says they'll even pay up to $7k in taxes for you to have the thing at no cost to you. Just pick it up from a local dealer. $44k prize! :cool:

The Ozark National Forest is in the radius too!
