Well Folkes, another Shamrock Medallion Hunt is in the books. Team Jordan, we call them Team Jordan now, Steven Beckman and Jeremy Heitkamp found the Shamrock Medallion under the scoreboard at the softball park, across from the Bowling Alley shortly after the posting of the 3rd clue.
What got Team Jordan to the hiding spot? The clue ground zero brought them to the down town area, mainly because everyone else was looking in that area, some clues brought them to the swimming pool area. Love equals zero, light the lamps, there were tennis court and hockey boards in that area at one time. Then Team Jordan regrouped and went back to the drawing board. When they read the clued Good Lord, you cant be board, board being spelled board rather then bored, it got them thinking score board.
That being said, they first headed to the score board at Tiger Park. They thought the clue, I’m all knotted up, might mean the Ivy that growns on the fence there. With no luck looking there and scoreboard still on their mind, they read the clue out of the blocks, the block and tile is just down the street. Then when reading music on paper is a score, and set of twenty is a score, they headed to the score board at the softball park. Once there, thier was a clue that said hit the bricks, there was a stack of bricks under the scoreboard. After a brief search the medallion was in their hands.
Other clues that may have lead them there, there were many references to the word score, par, love equals zero, goal eagle, touchdown, light the lamps, stones in the house, bullseye, condor, kill, sprint, jog and dash were references to the word run.
Don’t get towed was reference to Erves Sinclair which had a tow service years ago.
Fifteen thousand six hundred yen is about one hundred dollars which is the prize.
Cambria has an advertisement on the scoreboard, the clue enter the dragon, Cambria has a dragon in their logo.
Witts Hits did Karaoke in the bars years ago. Years ago there was some softball players, Witt being their last name who hit a ton of home runs at this softball park.
Rose O’Reilly was the mom in the movie “We’re the Millers” The Millers own the bowling alley across the street.
Congratulations to Team Jordan for their success and thanks to everyone who participated in the hunt.
Next Hunt in late June.
