Submitted by Casey Trauer on

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.

Angie - They do have the Tide reference in #3 for H2O. Although it might just be regarding that it's in a Tide box though. There should be the annual golf, train, water or persons name in tonights clue.

All st paul parks are administered by the "parks and rec" department. I think clue 5 just says theres a parking lot there and a place for kids to play, most likely but not neccesarly a playground

I also thought about maybe it is in tater tot box or some thing.

I think you're right New Dad. There's always way too much 'digging' into the clues in here. But what else are we to do?

The thing I liked most in any park was the DOT camera by merrium that was very high in the air on a pole and broadcasts on the air...

Can anyone recall past year's clues that would be as big a "stinger" as this year if the park n rec doesn't mean a Park and Rec Center? While I like the idea of keeping things open, that seems so specfic and I for one will be mightly ticked if it is in fact out at Phalen or BC or Como...or is it just me?

Shot in the dark but rec is short for recreation...isn't there a volleyball court or a basketball court right next to the parking lot at Indian Mound park...your also able to park in the street or in the lot..

Does the smoke stack by Merriam actually put out smoke or can it just be assumed? I like the smoke 'in the air' better than planes for Merriam.

Do you think wreck could be a reference to a dump/ compost dump? And what about trek? Train track or Amtrac?

Once again,

"Hey, hey," you say, "We're game to play But give us a tip -- be fair!" OK, OK, here's all we'll say Look for something in and on the air

I think that the whole clue is one clue not two. It is in referance to baseball. Willie Mays, Fair ball, And the in and on the air would be the ball itself. Possibly the outfielder watching the ball.
