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.
destiny's hunt
The 16yo didn't have school today, I don't think. I work at a school and the secondary grades were off. Mmmmmmmmm.....bummer. Now what? If we sent our post card in, do we get put into a drawing? Also, what about the online clues...can we send those in?? Or do we bring em to cubs? Will they accept online ones? What do we get to win ???
Thanks for the tip, Leelabell. Would be interested in joining others later tonight if something is going on. Or if the Rehash will be this Sunday. Do you have my email from last year or no?

A few more points. You should be required to purchase and register a button to do away with the stupidity of a person not taking advantage of the addition $5,000.00. Also with the lack of snow the likelihood of someone finding the treasure early in hunt increases dramatically.
I work with people that attend high school in Woodbury, Oakdale, and Cottege Grove, all were off last Friday and had school this Friday. I hope there is some sort of repremand for taking the kid out of school to go treasure hunting.
I hope she doesn't get offended or hurt. I would not be surprised in the least if she was a lurker here. I think people are just upset because they didn't find it. If I had found it, Allison, My Dalliance, someone like had found it this morning by pure luck, would that really help much? If we want things to improve, don't complain too much. There are likely better ways of having things improve.
This is ridiculous. Looking back at the clue meanings, this clue writer was terrible. There were no hidden messages in the first 6 clues. I hope they get a new clue writer next year, this is embarrassingly idiotic. Its in St. Paul. At a park with hills. Where you can sled. With a Park and Rec. And you can see a radio tower. By a baseball field. Wowwwwww!!!! What most excellently thought provoking stuff.
I am disappointed, and I wasn't even 15 yards away this time. I was working. Wasn't this kid supposed to be at school or something.
leela, i think you speak for most of us here. its not the finder. any one of us could have found it. it was the clues (and the fact that the hunt was over before the carnival began) hell, i'd be p*ssed off if i found it after only 6 clues.
I agree with Broomball stick. I didn't think the clues were very creative at all - pretty basic - and we didn't even get to the ones that actually meant something specifically to the park! I share in everyone's disappointment.
I WAS THER LAST NIGHT!!!!FINALLY WHEN I HAD A CLUE TO WHERE IT WAS AT!!!-I WENT DIGGING AT 2 AM AND WAS RIGHT IN AND AROUND THOSE BASEBALL FIELDS-WENT THROUGH SEARCHING IN TE MIDDLE AND ON THE EDGES-IT WAS DARK- TODAYS HEAT AND SUNLIGHT DEFINATELY PLAYED A ROLE IN FINDING IT!!WELL, ANOTHER YEAR ANOTHER MEDALLION-THANKS EVERYONE 4 GIVING ME INSIGHT AND ENJOYING THE MOMENT!!SEE YA NEXT YEAR!!
That is a bunch of crap, I hope the school or the city or someone gets after this family about the priority of a good education. Had she not taken him out of school, my after school plans for the day probably would not have been foiled.
They could have at least made the hunt last long enough to make it to the parade. Why is the search always before the start of the carnival? The search never goes past 10 clues anyways because there are idiots hiding and writing the clues. They need to go back to old school where you had to have some intellect to win this prize.
I agree with thosemedallionkids. I think that the 16yo had every right to be out of school....to be with his mom and to look for it! And they did a wonderful job in locating the medallion. I don't care too much for people who complain/criticize others to just feel better about themselves. I would think they would feel worse.
Let's lighten up here folks. I am very disappointed but at the same time, I am happy for the people who found it and am looking forward to their story tonight. I am also really proud of the cluewriter(s) for their knowledge, time, patience, and expertise!!!! I wish we could hear their story too...maybe that would be a good idea for a movie?? Trent?? :D Jake??
I think for myself next year, I am not going to do much reading into the clues...but rather just keep it simple and be out there every day. I also want to hook up with other cooler heads as I think that more minds are better than one.
Happy Day today...and congrats to both the cluewriters and the founders!!!
This dumbluckatrocity must be rectified the rectification I'm suggesting is tell(email) pioneerplanet. Let them know we are calling there sponsers Cub Foods and Hormel we are boycotting there stores and products. I personally have already began the boycott
I agree, I don't post many messages, maybe one a year, but I have to this time, the clue writer is just ahhhh, you think they would make it a bit harder, the clues are too easy, I would like to see it go to the last day again, that won't happen if they don't get a new clue writer though, they need someone more creative, the only fool was the clue writer them self.
Hunters, hunters, we did CONGRAT the winners here earlier. Now we're just blowing off steam about the clues not being helpful as they were in the previous years. Read the previous posts and you'll see we've been happy for them. Honest!
Wow Michelle, you sound like a nice person. Ever hear that saying? :) J/K. You're right to a certain degree, but they knew there would be no snow and yet they hide it where they did. Come on, challange us. It's no fun when it's easy.
As for knowledge etc of clue writer, they displayed no creative intelligence as far as I'm concerned. Maybe clue 10 had some creativity with the Wadsworth thing - they should have thrown some of that action into the remaining clues.
I totally agree with Shovel Master. I am so Friggen pissed right now, because the clue's were so simple. Here I thought some genius was at work and so forth...only to find, I HAD it.I was going to that park in less then an hour after it was found. I had the dang park. But I thought it must be more complicated then that, or why would I - a simple layman that has only been at this game for three years, be able to get it. I am very disappointed in the clue writer (s) on this one. Very! At least when you give the clue's up, make them a little bit better. I can't believe it. And those are my 2 cents worth ...until next year that is lol
It's strange that none of the clues hinted at what the medallion was in. I think that's a first. Not that it matters though because when you're out looking, you're going to look at anything you come across. But, what makes it tough is that I know some people were interpretting parts of the clues as to what the med might have been in. They've always hinted at that in the past. I didn't see anything that referred to Pringles or chips or anything close in any of the clues.
I was out of town last year, so I was very much looking forward to this year's hunt. So this year and my last hunt at Newell have been cut short. Yes, I am extremely disappointed.
I don't want the winners to confuse my disappointment with their luck and good fortune. My sincere congratulations go out to both of them. The picture in the PP is absolutely beautiful of the two of them. Their smiles actually make me feel a little better.
agree broomball stick, years back the clues were good, i will never forget looking at the state capitol last time, that was one time it went to the last day that i can remember, maybe it's the snow this year, either way the clue writers change too often and they need to hire someone or something because these people may be able to edit and write articals but they sure can't write clues

You spent too much time on your internal rhymes, and not enough on the matter. Ma Press, please find a new, clever mind. The clues can't get any badder.

dunno about woodbury, mind, but in st. paul, its the end of the semester, and there's no classes today.
a lot of kids had school off today. Don't know why
no registered button !

Frosti, I'm afraid I'm becoming a great, not just a good, loser. :)

I wish the winner nothing but good will. I am crabby cause the clues were bad and it was placed in the middle of a field where there was little snow.
Jordenn - I think I do (lots of Z's, right?)
She has been a lurker, and was actually posting here last night @1-2am
I don't think they were 1st time hunters. Just in the right park with a little luck:) Good Luck to all next year!

last year someone with a dog gug it up this year a kid I need a hunting partner!!!!!!!!anyone need someone to watch their kids next year LOL

POW-ER-BALL! POW-ER-BALL! POW-ER-BALL!

got your ticket, dal? thank for reminding me. i gotta go get mine!
I could care less who found it. They knew the clues sucked. They apologize for one of the explanations. That is unexcusable.
Frosti, I'm afraid I'm becoming a great, not just a good, loser. :)
Me too. I was right in the neighborhood last year at Como too. Practice makes perfect! If I keep this up, I'll be the best loser ever.
I, too, think we should refrain from bashing the finders. Be upset (or disappointed) on how the clues were written (as I am!)
Leelabell- yup! I have the Z's.......

I'm with ya destiny mad its endes so soon but I probobly would ent feel that way if I had found it today..
Just letting you all know, again, Jake and the gang are at Gabe's or going there right now.
We would have been at the right park within 2 clues without a doubt. Some were even there a few nights ago. Good job to those who were.

I Just found out!!! I can't be.....this is way too early
Where! Where! I need to know where...

go to the winter carnival site. Clues and explanations. ALso, the PP afternoon edition on line.
I was out of town last year, so I was very much looking forward to this year's hunt. So this year and my last hunt at Newell have been cut short. Yes, I am extremely disappointed.

Marley, are you still here?
Was it a 'cooler?
Hell I'm not buying a button next year it's a jokatrocity.
Yes and no. Was supposedly posting here last night.
Still here
agree broomball stick, years back the clues were good, i will never forget looking at the state capitol last time, that was one time it went to the last day that i can remember, maybe it's the snow this year, either way the clue writers change too often and they need to hire someone or something because these people may be able to edit and write articals but they sure can't write clues
I was on last night till after midnight. Name on 'cooler?

Congrats to the winner.
To the cluewriter:
You spent too much time on your internal rhymes, and not enough on the matter. Ma Press, please find a new, clever mind. The clues can't get any badder.
I'm out! See ya Sunday!
We'll found out in tonight's paper about Mary and Sean. They must be on the top of the world right now. Wish I was on that cloud with them.
Marley, did you see what the potato package was? If so, descibe it?
