It's time for the Medallion Hunt! The first clue will appear on PioneerPlanet just after midnight Saturday, Jan. 22. Come back here to compare notes with other treasure seekers, but be certain you read the rules on the Planet's Winter Carnival page.

Nitey, MJ!!! SMHD!!! See you tomorrow - here!
Step, shure you can, Sweetie! We'll teach you how!!!
Wheelock Whitney was used in 73 if I recall correctly. That doesn't mean they won't find another Wheelock to form a clue around. The street isn't going to move...so it still borders parts of that park.
There was a Wheelock Whitney clue one time it was out there. I don't have my book in front of me. So see....that's already two clues to lead to the same street.
Keller park which is part of the Phalen park is in Maplewood. That part of the park is at the intersection of Highway 61 and Highway 36. The part of Phalen that is in Saint Paul is at Wheelock and Highway 61.
The city limit line is Larpenteur! That leaves 3/4 of Phalen in the city limits.
In my "Parks and Public Places in Ramsey county Book.....The book is put out by the Parks and Rec Board.... It lists PHALENAS A CITY PARK.
1982 Wakefeild Park (maplewood had all the trouble.... Thats when some fool came into the park with a chain saw to cut down a tree! LOL
(one of the tees is also an excellent sledding hill, and is across Montreal from the non-golf course portion of the park. Montreal, additionally, is a big downhill drive.)
I like that it's a large park, and I'm really more comfortable being there after dark than I would be in some other parks. Could be a good place to hide it in a year when more people than usual will be hunting for the treasure.
I'll be digging there until the next clue comes out.
"Won't get caught" (#1) - Refers to Ramsey County Jail "Flying down (the) hill" (#2) - Refers to the ST. Paul Airport "Golf Course" (#1) - is meant to throw you off - they wouldn't narrow it down to 3 parks (Phalen, Como, Highland) on the VERY FIRST CLUE.
Red, if I may bee so bold... Were you anywhere I was last nite???
Storm, YOU BETCHA!!! We live, eat, breathe for these 12 or so days each year. All udder life comes to a standstill. I'm usually totally clueless and in the dark, and read WAY TOO MUCH into even the punctuation, but man, I tell you... I HAVE THE BESTEST FUN!!!!
Brad, I love that idea!! I want one too. And, Storm, the frog pond is at Como. You can commonly see people digging there year after year, no matter what the clues are. Actually, it should be initiation into the hunt.
CON'T The Park was tore up....Thats when Maplewood made that Law statement about the law suit.........
THE next year the treasure was hidden in Phalen 1983....... I remember the clues all pointing to Phalen that year and no-one was at the park because they thought it was a Maplewood Park.......
Clue 10 that year was : If in school you get all F's This is what you're doin' But play your hunch, pack a picnic lunch And go on with your clue-in.
Then the Park was loaded with people.... So if Phalen was a Maplewood Park it would not of been there in 1983.....But I think so far this year HIGHLAND.
Hay, Red! Just follow along, read what folks have to say, read the clues and NOODLE, NOODLE, NOODLE. Ittiz hard at first til you get used to things - at least it was fur me - but you'll catch on! Just voice your thoughts or ideas in a nice way, be nice to all, and you'll be aceing the clues in NO TIME!!!!
Just a suggestion-the 2nd clue seems to have a gambling element to it, "winning", "action" (slang for gambling-ask Webster). There is a Nevada street that runs into Como. I don't know if it's saying stay away from Como or just that part of the park. Again, just a suggestion.
Step - the last three years ('96 thru '98) the first clue explanations were nothing. But in '91 thru '95, the first clue had two or three things in the explanations that could be pulled from it.
Nitey, MJ!!! SMHD!!! See you tomorrow - here!
Step, shure you can, Sweetie! We'll teach you how!!!
Could be they're referring to Como...don't get involved with the other action that's going on there. Guess it's back to the frog pond after all.
oh, thanks...

Just click on the last posting's blue number, and you'll get all new posts!
you guys are funny....Sorry Green! You can hunt the way you want too....just wanna make sure you see all the angles!
it was at como just two years ago though.
My vote right now is NOT Como. Of course, I reserve the right to change that vote at any time!
so is eberyone leaning towards phalen???
Nope. They used "An old type gunlock sparks this clue."
An old type gunlock was a "wheelock."
Doesn't it sound like it's near a sled hill in a park, but it's not buried at the hill? RED
There was a Wheelock Whitney clue one time it was out there. I don't have my book in front of me. So see....that's already two clues to lead to the same street.
I was just gonna say, Wheelock '73. Jeepers, you guys are intense.
Heck, Vicki! I may bee in The Frog Pond tomorrow, or digging at Atwater!
Understand ya!!!
it says flying downhill IS the attraction and to stay away from it

Okay. Eye's here. Haven't seen the clue yet (clueless?). Izzit any good?
My guess at this time is Highland. Why not?

What is the frog pond?

Where is Clue #2??
Red, if I may bee so bold... Were you anywhere I was last nite???

Anyone know where I can rent one of those old military Flame throwers?? :) There's alot of snow out there. Record amounts for January
Don't get to close to the action---- stay HIDDEN flying downhill----FALLS??
Gold--what does the jail have to do with it?
Yes, Green that was me! And I'm clueless on this thing at the moment.
Marie! Red!!!! Ittiz you!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice to see you here!!!!!!!!
caught----- Ramsey County Jail good observation!!
Clue number #1 - "don't get caught" and "wrong scene" (scene of the crime) - criminal element. Look for police station, jail, etc.
VICKI!!!! THAT'S IT!!! THE WAY YOU PUT IT!!!
We should NOT got to Como!!! Ittiz telling us not to go there... Or at least it seems that way to me; was just the way Vicki reworded it!!!
Hay, Ittiz!!!
The frog pond is in front of the Como conservatory...don't think they'd put it IN there, Its too dangerous to climb down it
It's nice to have Marie with us again :)
Golden--GREAT observation but do you think they would get that detailed on the first clue?
Any Ideas on NIL???????
First we must Greet! Dig it! RED
Besides, Bee has had the Frog Pond staked out since mid-July...
Hi Green, Terry, and everybody else for that matter.
Pat Eggleston: The clue is at http://www.pioneerplanet.com/wintercarnival/> Get Clued in on the Hunt
harriet Island?
Good catch Vicki - I think you're right - Como is definitely NOT THE PLACE.
Brad, I love that idea!! I want one too. And, Storm, the frog pond is at Como. You can commonly see people digging there year after year, no matter what the clues are. Actually, it should be initiation into the hunt.

I posted this for someone earlier today...but for those who weren't here.....
There used to be a workhouse on the grounds of Como Park. It was often part of clues in the past before it was taken down.
Highland does have a police station on the grounds.
ya, what about NIL?
NIL = Not In Lake.
Hay, Red! Just follow along, read what folks have to say, read the clues and NOODLE, NOODLE, NOODLE. Ittiz hard at first til you get used to things - at least it was fur me - but you'll catch on!

"Downhill" kind of infers skiing, doesn't it?
Just a suggestion-the 2nd clue seems to have a gambling element to it, "winning", "action" (slang for gambling-ask Webster). There is a Nevada street that runs into Como. I don't know if it's saying stay away from Como or just that part of the park. Again, just a suggestion.

1K Joe!
My apologies, Green.
Marie....you dig?
