As the wind blows, temps are still in the lows.
Staying straight and positive is key.
Withstand the harsh gales, you’ll surely prevail.
Find it within the breeze and jump with glee.
The official meaning of the clue.
* Wind, gales, and breeze. Are all a reference to Vento. Vento in Italian means “wind”.
* “Straight” is a reference to the straight line of oak trees the Mini Medal is hidden within.

Go make haste to a place once filled with waste.
Removed over fifty tons of litter.
We’re not bluffing, you’ll windup with nothing.
If you fail look to the bird called Twitter.
The official meaning of the clue.
* BVNS was once a dump/wasteland. They removed over 50 tons of garbage to clean up the park and help make it what it is today. If you call the ranger marker #9 the story talks about the dump. The ranger marker is close to the Mini Medal.
* “Were not bluffing”, the Mini Medal is far from the bluffs.
* Twitter is a reference to the park, BVNS is a bird sanctuary and migrating area for birds. As a cool easter egg find, if you search Medallion Militia on Twitter you would have found a brand new account created the same day this clue was released. There was a post on the Twitter account saying “Its a sanctuary”, hinting at BVNS. Extra point to those who figured that out!

Follow this guide, to find where the chest hides.
Near a park that’s lit up sometimes for starters.
To make it a lock, take up a nature walk.
Then throw your cap four to five markers.
The official meaning of the clue.
* “Guide” is a reference to the Ranger Call stations. A guide to the Mississippi river. Ranger marker #9 is close to the Mini Medal.
* The Saints stadium is lit up sometimes for starters. And is also right next to BVNS.
* The Ranger Markers depict a ranger CAP on the signs. The Mini Medal was hidden between trees 4 and 5 from the Ranger Marker.

The official meaning of the clue.
