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.
I think last nights clue was telling us that they planned for minimal snow cover and being very vague to prolong the hunt. I also know from past experience that the clues that means the least to us when first read, usually have something to do with what it's hidden in.
I think it's at Hillcrest. Here's why: In clue #2, it says "trek up and down every hill." So what is that? Cresting hills -- you go up and over them.
I've not actually been over there, but it's not too far from Highland. There's a rec center there, and also a theater. "We're game to PLAY" Also Fairview Ave runs along one side (I think) which could work in to #4 "be fair!"
Take your wreck to the park n rec I'm not entirely sure about, but the park is on Ford Parkway, so it could have something to do with that, and they do have off street parking at the rec center. There are baseball 'diamonds' there too, which might work with today's clue. That's my opinion
Mary Kay Hamilton and son Sean located it just after 11 a.m. attached to part of a potato chip container in Merriam Park, between some baseball fields.
The recording on the PP line says to watch twincities.com for updated info about the find. All they are saying right now is that it was found at approx. 11:30am at Merriam by the ball fields.
A Woodbury woman and her 16-year-old son found the Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt medallion this morning. Mary Kay Hamilton and son Sean located it just after 11 a.m. attached to part of a potato chip container in Merriam Park, between some baseball fields.
The duo will be awarded a $5,000 prize, plus $1,200 in groceries from Cub Foods. They would have been awarded an additional $5,000 if they had a registered Winter Carnival button. They said it is the first year they haven't bought one
I was out digging last night by the baseball fields there!!! I had a feeling it wasn't there so I left....This is 3 years now that I have been in the right area and haven't found it going to cry into mypillow now...
