2014 Twin Ports Winterfest Hunt

Keyword here is "sixth". The opening trail to the medallion is just off the sixth bridge. When counting, it appears it is the seventh bridge – but the bridge closest to Superior Street was not one of the original bridges constructed by Sam Snively.

With road closures at both ends of Seven Bridges Road at the North and South, there really is no alternative but to walk unless you bring your snowmobile.

This clue basically incicated that the medallion will be hidden in a wooded area.

The two keywords in this clue were "park" and "way". The medallion was parked very close to Skyline Parkway.

Just down the path was the Lakeview Sports Area. Most of the area (except on the hill) has no view of the lake.

This is a reference to starting on Seven Bridges Road – also the name of a song made popular by the Eagles.

Several of the streets North of the park are named after trees including "Oak", "Beech", "Apple", "Maple", "Poplar", "Elm", and "Plum".

This is a reference to the classic TV show Get Smart. If you are heading to where the medallion is from the southern part of Seven Bridges Road – you will need to veer South momentarily before getting to Maxwell Avenue. "Maxwell Smart" was the main character of the show starring Don Adams and the movie starring Steve Carrell. As it turns out, you would actually be heading East and then North. Admittedly, the cluemeister got a little twisted around in his direction.

The first two lines were intended to get you to think about the movie Jaws. The Steven Spielberg movie and book by Peter Benchley is based on the famous shark near "Amity" Island. Amity Creek and Amity Park are very close to where the medallion was hidden. Meanwhile the third line is a reference to the multi-use trail system where signage and park rules prohibit you from using the trail when it is wet.

The video clue featuring Duluth Mayor Don Ness tells you the medallion is hidden in Duluth.

There are signs at the Lakeview Sports Area that indicate security cameras are on and recording your activities. Also the hill nearby was/is a popular destination for snow tubing and sliding – although some signage indicates that it is no longer allowed.

The medallion was hidden just above the bluff overlooking Amity Creek.

The first line in this clue is also the first line of the song Seven Bridges Road – made popular by the Eagles.

Duluth pioneer Samuel Snively was instrumental in creating the series of stone bridges that cross Amity Creek as you wind up Seven Bridges Road The medallion was technically hidden near the sixth bridge as outlined in the explanation in clue one.

Although we are fairly certain the medallion is actually hidden in Amity Park, we were confident this clue would get more people in the right area by mentioning the more popular Lester Park.

There were two points to this clue. "Multi-tasking" is a reference to the "Multi-use" trail the medallion was hidden on. "Happy" news was a loose reference to what has become known as the "Smiley Rock" – a graffiti marked boulder along Amity Creek near bridge six that simply says "smile".

The medallion was hidden near the base of a tree. Less than two feet away under the bough of a balsam tree.

The Charlie Brown tree was a small, barren (but alive) pine just to the right of the multi-use trail near bridge six. Also, another reference to the smiley rock.

Within 2-3 feet from the medallion was a 5-6 foot rotted stump with a woodpecker hole near the top – right off the multi-use trail.

On the multi-use trail, another trail veers to the right – the one where the medallion was hidden.

This two-part clue tells you where exactly the medallion was hidden from the main road new bridge six – using the cluemeister's paces. The trick was staying on the right path. It also mentions what kind of tree to look for and how the medallion was hidden.
