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.
yeah, but como was the spot in 1997 and (only 4 years later) in 2001...repetition doesn't seem to bother the clue writer/medallion hider. Except for that damn year it was at Conway. Conway?! Why you little...!
Had to work for 20 minutes; lucky if I don't get fired this week!!!
Step, I like Hidden because (1) it's a St. Paul park, (2)it hasn't been there in a while, (3) it's huge, (4) it's hilly, (5) "time to kill" = set in Mississipi = Mississippi R. = Hidden Falls, (6) "trip" = fall
This is annoying. I can even make the clues fit . . . Indian Mounds park. "Light a spark" = Burns Ave, borders Indian Mounds. Mounds = hills. "Time to kill" = set in Mississippi = Mississippi river, which borders the park.
BC is officially a Ramsey Cty park, not a St Paul park ... the first clue says it's in "a St Paul park." So, I'm putting BC low on the list (if at all). There's a difference btwn saying "a St Paul park" and "a park in St. Paul."
Hmm, people think that it's Highland because of high from "time and tide" and land from "fun and slide". That all works except for "funland". The others have the abstract word at the beginning, where as funland has it at the end. Also, why choose funland? Why not choose landmark, landfill, greenland, homeland, something like that? Those are much more normal than "funland". So that's my argument against that line of noodling. And I'm with Green when she says it likely won't be at BC because of the skiing.
2 prominent water towers at Highland
Go Rams!!!
Also like Hillcrest St. Leo's Catholic church(pride) Library close, rec center(fun-brain work)?
Speaking of which, could "time to kill" be a reference to anything?
Is anyone still confused on directions to our fair city's parks...
ya highland i don't know because they have hidden it there for 5 different years now
I believe Como is up to 6 now digger

Hi Noodlers!
If anyone is planning to go out and dig somewhere and wouldn't mind being filmed, please send me an e-mail and I'll let the crew know.

Thanks -- and happy hunting. Jackie
"kill" was used to rhyme with "hill"....in my opinion.
Yes it is fun step, the fun and frustration go hand in hand. The frustration was just winning at that particular moment. ;-)
does that whole far and wide thing have anything to do with it all???

Thanks, Dalliance!
like ur idea for hidden falls it really works
Interesting insight...BC is not listed on the city's park list! Here is an interesting link complete with maps! http://www.ci.stpaul.mn.us/depts/parks/
what does slide mean---that could mean a lot of things
Carl - are you referring to "picnic parks"
NE one going to the bash this year? I've never been, and would like to go this year!
SD...The entire site does not list battle creek near as I can tell...stay tuned
Hey...getting close to a Joe! So excited! How pathetic my life is, though...
This is annoying. I can even make the clues fit . . . Indian Mounds park. "Light a spark" = Burns Ave, borders Indian Mounds. Mounds = hills. "Time to kill" = set in Mississippi = Mississippi river, which borders the park.
Carl...it only lists like 6 parks under the "park" link.
My mistake...
I don't think that, after the 1987 debacle, it'll ever be at Mounds Park again. Could be wrong...
I agree, KA. I guess my point is that we still don't know jack. As Charlie Brown would say, "Aaaarrrgggghhh!"
Ditto...AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Ain't it great dall? If determined enough, you can make the clues fit any park!

No kiddin' Especially this early on.
What has four legs and one arm?
A table, with an arm?
A rottweiler! Bah-dum-bum!!

Why did the cluewriter say "carnival hunter's pride" and not "medallion hunter's pride"? Who hunts for a carnival? Sloppiness, or a clue?
A lion is a "carnival hunter."
BC is a St. Paul Rec. Center though...
Boy this Treasure Hunt Makes me think glad Im not a detective! Can't believe it's this time of year AGAIN!
Where did everyone go???
Lions seem to be a common theme here. Richard the Lionhearted?
Read between the lions?
Leone (Leo) Ave. is near Battle Creek park, but not adjacent to it.
is
Nice thx. Very punny.
A JOE!!!
Sorry Carl.
Nice thx. Very punny.
I couldn't resist.
:-)
Why is nobody connecting the first clue and the phrase light a spark to Torchlight parade or grills at a park?
