2010 Twin Ports Winterfest Hunt

There are two main points in this clue. Primarily it established that the medallion was hidden in either Douglas or St. Louis Counties. The underlying keyword "family" was a vague reference to the disc's proximity to the Peace Bell - a gift from our SISTER city in Ohara Japan.

This clue indicated that the medallion was not hidden in an area close to Lake Superior - also known as Gitchigami from the Ojibwe language.

This clue provides two key hints. First, it narrows the search down to somewhere in the Duluth city limits. Secondly, the trail reference refers to the Superior Hiking Trail which was just feet away from where the medallion was hidden.

A turning point clue for some asute searchers including our winner. "Blue" and "Rockin" are hints to Duluth's prevalent blue stone - and the famous Enger Tower in the park is built from the stone.

On the main path leading into the park, there is a large tree shaped like the letter V.

The first part of this clue indicates there is a picnic ground nearby. "Al" is a dedication to "Allan" on a park bench near the Peace Bell and the medallion. The medallion was on the ground, hence "get on your knees."

This clue references the trail or the drive to get to Enger Park which is circular and increases in elevation.

"Bert" is the park's namesake's first name - Bert Enger, *a native of Norway who came to this country and became a successful furniture dealer. *//*At the time of his death Mr. Enger donated two thirds of his estate to the city of Duluth. This included the land known as Enger Hill. Which along with Enger tower is also the home of Enger Park and Enger Golf Course.

"Ring" is a reference to the Peace Bell. The "garden" indicates the Japanese garden nearby, and the "view" highlights the extraordinary view vistors get at Enger Park.

The medallion was hidden at the base of a small tree bent over in the direction of the Peace Bell which was a gift from Ohara, Japan - one of Duluth's Sister Cities.

This clue pretty much spells out where the medallion is hidden at Enger Park.
