Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.
My Dalliance
Hound, thoughts: "A Time to Kill" was set in Mississippi = Mississippi River = Hidden Falls.
Ares- EVERYTHING...I had an epiphany or something this morning and I am damn near sure...
k...In clue #2 I think they use the word "knit" and "use your brain" very carefully...and "working your legs" and "treking up hills together"
I think the knit and use your brain is a reference to '95 when the puck was buried in a KNITTED pouch out at BC...hence using your brain to make the connection.
TODAY, "time and tide, fun and slide"...they have a frickin water park out there. Obviously the tides aren't running because it's winter...but in time it's fun and slide!!
OK...stay away from woods? Across the street from the park...STILL BC, is ALL woods. so it's telling you which side of the street to stay on. I don't know...just seems to fall together.
Hey all, my ques. is why would they bother to tell us what it's hidden in. If I find anything in the park I'm going to look inside. It doesn't help me to find it knowing what it's in. A waste of a clue if you ask me.
The clue says, "slide down the hill, far from the woods." That doesn't necessarily refer to a slide, but is telling hunters to go to the bottom of the hill, i.e. toward the Mississippi.
Hey Ares, THG and all. Just up and headed to work. Thanks for the e-mail last night Ares. Took me a while to get it as my MSN access froze me out again for a couple of hours. Following is a copy of a posting I did on AW's site. I apologize for it taking up so much space, but hope it helps our (over)noodling and can be used in THG's 12-step program :-)
Good mornin' all, anyone. Clue 3 had me overnoodlin' last night/this morning. Clue 2's "time to kill" and clue 3's "time and tide" sounded like parts of a quote from somewhere (Time to Kill also the title of J. Grisham novel). So I went to the links section and just a general Search area to look up "time and tide". Didn't find what I was looking for but did find this site about Time and Tide called: BABYLONIAN PLANETARY THEORY AND THE HELIOCENTRIC CONCEPT Made no sense whatsoever, but it had a reference in it to "Occam's Razor" which AW has refered to many times when I (or we) start to overnoodle. I guess the joke's on me.

I don't think it is AC, but I think that it is likely that the city has the park defined either as a St pul park or not... only one city would be responsible for its maintainance etc... somehow I doubt it is split between two tax bases...
now if we went with the Cherokee park theory it does have a distinct small set of woods... all the other big clusters of trees are either down the bluff or near the sewage drain by the sledding hill... was really irritated yesterday that the small parking area that they have is blocked off... have another park in mind as well, but I keep thinking about Cherokee because I know the park so well...
well heather, i think that saint paul handles all the maintenance at phalen, even though half that park is in st. paul. the same thing probably holds true for battle creek.

Here's a piece of an article of that ski race...it says "in st. paul"
The Battle Creek Ski Foundation announces the Ski Games at Battle Creek to be held on January 26–27, 2002. The games will be held at Battle Creek Park in St. Paul and will attract cross country skiers from local, regional and international locations.
well, my point was specifically that bc would* likely be considered a st paul park...i always thought that the rules talked about a st paul park not the city limits...but i'm starting to feel like cliff claven here...i am only barely versed in the rules of this event...it's just my 2 cents in the end
BC is very large, but we also run into the fact that it's not ALL in the St Paul city limits ... guess it's worth taking 5 mins. to scrutinize the map and know where they are running the ski games within the park relative to the park size and other possible locations within the park where they could hide the puck. Of course, they could be tricky and say it's in a St Paul park, which BC is, and it may not be physically in the St Paul end of BC! Keep an open mind ... only 3 clues!
Step, I did not know that. Thanks. Battle is back on, provisionally. However, it sounds like there's going to be a lot of skiers there. Would they want to double the crowd there with diggers, also?
Take the high bridge (on Smith Avenue)in the south direction unitl you reach Sidney or Page Streets. Turn right, keep on driving, and you'll hit Cherokee Park
But Dall...look at all of the winter carnival activities that take place at Como every year and they still put it there....ski slide, car races...you name it.
Hound, thoughts: "A Time to Kill" was set in Mississippi = Mississippi River = Hidden Falls.
Randy - that is a good point, it could be in a watch box
Hi this Is Sweetie again in my post I misspelled The abreavations for Battle Creek, I met to use AC for Battle Creek! Thanks

What about a little tide box, like you buy in the vending machine at the laundromat?
Hello sweetie!
No "Slide @ Hidden Falls"
Could be in a small "Tide" detergent box...like you buy at the laundromat...
yes, a little tide box would work
I am trying to relate slide to hidden falls - there are cliffs and sort of small rolling hilss, but not really slides
deep noodling, step. i like it. and battle is big enough that they could give it away this early on.
Is there a sliding hill at Hidden?
Hey all, is it just me or is this thing gonna be over by the weekend due to the lack of snow.

Ares- Also, there are sledding AND skiing hills at BC...
Yesterday it said trek up & down every hill if you have time to kill...today it says to stay away from the hill.
Well, the hills at HF could kill you if you fell, so you should stay away from them.
k...everyone post the park you qre leaning towards...just curious on where people stand.
Hidden Falls
battle creek, highland, hidden falls; in that order
officially, step, i'm still in the frog pond. unofficially i'm gonna go out and scout either battle or hidden today at lunchtime.
I don't think it is AC, but I think that it is likely that the city has the park defined either as a St pul park or not... only one city would be responsible for its maintainance etc... somehow I doubt it is split between two tax bases...

cant we be reasonable sure it wont be at como this year? they wouldnt hide it there 3 years in a row, or would they?
no rest for the wicked
Amanda, it was only there last year.
I guess I am leaning toward HF, Highland, AA, Merriam, maybe BC and maybe Chair-O-Key.
Amanda--to refresh, click the blue number and it wont keep posting.

ares, I think you mean maplewood. Get some sleep
the medallion was at como in 2000 and 2001 wasnt it?

wait...i must be a dork. hehehe

That works too MD
BC is very large, but we also run into the fact that it's not ALL in the St Paul city limits ... guess it's worth taking 5 mins. to scrutinize the map and know where they are running the ski games within the park relative to the park size and other possible locations within the park where they could hide the puck. Of course, they could be tricky and say it's in a St Paul park, which BC is, and it may not be physically in the St Paul end of BC! Keep an open mind ... only 3 clues!
Step, Thanks for the ski info. That officially takes BC off my list.
Could someone tell me where Cherokee is? I have the rest of the day off..and I'd like to check it out.
Dall - Why?
My thoughts are.. BC,HF(my most fav.) HL,Cherokee..
Step, because I don't think they want a bunch of people digging up what snow there is when there will be a lot of competition skiiers out there.
Anyone? I'd really love to know how to get to Cherokee... please?
Dall - that's why the clue says "Down the hill far from woods" all of the x-country trails are in the woods.
Jennee, go to http://www.stpaul.gov/depts/parks
Is Fort Snelling out of the picture?
Jennee -- Go across the high bridge (smith street) its over in that part of town. Not sure of the exact cross street but I believe there is a sign.
Thanks Dall
Step, I did not know that. Thanks. Battle is back on, provisionally. However, it sounds like there's going to be a lot of skiers there. Would they want to double the crowd there with diggers, also?
Take the high bridge (on Smith Avenue)in the south direction unitl you reach Sidney or Page Streets. Turn right, keep on driving, and you'll hit Cherokee Park
...Harriet Island?..no forest or hills..
But Dall...look at all of the winter carnival activities that take place at Como every year and they still put it there....ski slide, car races...you name it.
