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.

Allison in the past I remember clues that would at least tell us the general location of the park in St Paul(east,west,North,South) why hasn't there been that type of clue. Is this a different clue writer?
No problem Dale. I try. And then if you don't get enough of the hunt, a few weeks after the hunt I generally run what I call the "Mock Hunt" which is my own little treasure hunt patterned after this one.
I think it is a different clue writer this year. The rhyme scheme has been mostly different and the poetry not as elegant. But I think thus far the clues have been better written from a puzzle point of view. If I'm right about it being in Merriam Park, I'm not sure how you would indicate that as it's not really one of the major St. Paul neighborhoods, unless you were just going to say West side.
AW or anyone else for that matter, what's your take on School ground's? Such as BC? My diggers were scouting the park last nite, and noticed people digging on the school grounds west side by Ruth, according to the THG this is "School Grounds" would they hide it there?
BTW the spell checker button sucks so if someone got the first post before I edit again sorry.....
going south on BC road, right before the Lower Afton Rd intersection there is a road going off to the right of BC road.... looks like a private drive but i think that is still a section of BC park.. anyone help?
There is only 1 set of ABC streets- I've looked. yoou take White Bear til you get to Upper Afton, Cross Upper Afton and you are at ABC st. They are right around the corner from BC
Welcome Little--I think we were all lurkers at one time. Funny, I had thought of using that tagline once myself. Anyway, I don't think they'd actually put it on school grounds......just my take.
I can almost gaurentee that its a different clue writer this year a couple months ago the PP was hiring a writer and you had to submit poetry..a friend of mine that was moving up here from WI was going to apply and they wanted someone local.....I think they were looking for a clue writer!!
Ok, so heading out now for real. I'm sure I'll see some of you around. I'm the one in the black sort-of-but-not-quite-a-cowboy hat and black leather jacket.
AW, you still scouting Merriam? My diggers were there as well seems to fit but should have been found by now all the leaves have been over turned and snow is very thin.
I remember times long ago that I was with my granparents hunting this thing. I have been doing this for a long time but really dont think thats important the fact is we are all here now I was so disgruntled yesterday watching people complain about "Lurkers" I thought to myself if ya dont like being watched dont show yourslf. Welcome fellow "lurkers" and other new people. And a question to all the old timers??? are you all okay with us being here? I hope you dont feel as though we are intruding. No one runs the World Wide Web. Okay now I will get off my soap box and go back to my longfellow thoughts
Jim I don't have a problem with Lurkers in general but I feel that they should show themselves and be part of the conversations maybe they could help us out some...
what about Dayton's Bluff? It has both parking, tot lot, baseball, fields,Mendota St.,car repair shop, huge fire years ago started from a spark, Indian magnet school is near,Bluff rhymes with rough?
Thanks Marie.. I appreciate that My mother was here yesterday and was watching and got a bit pissy about the way they were talking abut "lurkers" I had to say all that for her HaHa
jim, we "old-timers" like newcomers. everyone's welcome. well except for a guy who calls himself mr. news. he's not welcome :) and if he shows up, its best just to ignore him, hard as it may be.
Along with others not in order: indian mounds, duluth and case, lawson and rice, phalen, merriam, baker, knoll hillcrest, cheokee hieghts, como, minnehaha, frost lake, belvedere, dunning, linwood, sackett, hidden falls, croby, marydale!
it went that-a-way, jim. also, you're all welcome at the rehash bash on the 3rd at whatever park and rec the medallion's found in. (green's not here so i guess i gotta take on that job for a while!). i s'ppose i'm gonna hafta haul myself there this year, too, huh ter?
its all this school crap and the internet I get all my info from here because I have no ability to think rationally maybe this treasure hunt is meant for me
And yes - all are welcome. No one but Pioneer Planet owns this board and as long as one follows the rules laid out by that organization, everyone is welcome...
And I don't care if you lurk, participate, not participate, share ideas or keep your best noodlings to yourself. Some folks aren't comfortable sharing or doing anything but lurk - and those folks are just as much a crew member as any of us.

got a BC question
going south on BC road, right before the Lower Afton Rd intersection there is a road going off to the right of BC road.... looks like a private drive but i think that is still a section of BC park.. anyone help?
whatcha think mk?
I don't think it would be on school grounds, unless those grounds were part of a rec center.
There is only 1 set of ABC streets- I've looked. yoou take White Bear til you get to Upper Afton, Cross Upper Afton and you are at ABC st. They are right around the corner from BC
I believe that school grounds are private property - at least owned by the school system and not the city of St. Paul's park n rec division.

Its on my list !
Bug- You are correct- that is another part of Bc park- its very small and is mainly walking paths- but it is part of the park.
I can make BC fit but so can many others...
Ok, so heading out now for real. I'm sure I'll see some of you around. I'm the one in the black sort-of-but-not-quite-a-cowboy hat and black leather jacket.
School grounds are private property...sorry to just barge right in on the convo
