Because you can hunt and still lead a normal life ;) Plus the extra hours of sunlight really do help. And not as many people play on those hunts, plus the clues usually make complete sense. For instance last year, I was in the correct park for Oakdale's hunt, on the 2nd clue.
In 1858 at the age of 28, the young English immigrant, Thomas Crosby, with his wife Emma staked out 160 acres in the southwest end of today's Crosby Park.
As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there And that sign said - no tress passin' But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin! Now that side was made for you and me!
When the sun come shining, then I was strolling, And the wheat fields waving, and the dust clouds rolling, A voice was chanting as the fog was lifting, This land was made for you and me.
The place to look is just south of Estabrook Where you'll find 27 trees in a grove. Twenty paces to the northwest will end your work And you'll uncover our treasure trove.
actually I should think finding it is the only cure. I've always figured I just want to find it once, then I can quit.... ;)
KC- for some reason it's so fun to hunt in the middle of the frozen tundra- why would we want to hunt when it's 70 degrees? Haha
Hi O.T.
IÂ thought since I'm up with the 3rd Grandchild with the FLU I might as well see what's happening.
KC, you sound like a junkie. Better get it under control or you'll find yourself strung out on easter egg hunts. Happened to a friend of mine.
Oh oh! :( Baby girl sick?
Step 3 is throwing a gi-huge-ic bash for the cooler crew with the winnings.
Oh oh! :(  Hope he feels better soon. Or is it baby girl??

Man, I miss the days of hunting for the medallion. I can't hunt this year because of school. Good luck to all of you still searching!
And sorry for the pointless post, all.
nah ED, I get my fix year round, it's called geocaching. Only there's no real prize for that, but a good sense of accomplishment.
think PP is waiting until midnight. I left my studies to ck. hope it is soon; i need my med "fix"...
I would think that finding it would only feed the addiction. Look at how many former finders are still out there hunting.
Face it. There is no cure for medallion fever.
No. He's better, she's down for the count.

Heh, the wildflowers are already dead... :)

Year of fame = 1858, the year MN became a state.
Â
Â
is that clue correct....or is there some errors in it
And we're back...
Wow! Thanks for that downtown dave. Makes sense to the clue.
Anyone else just get kicked out of here for a few?
peter paul and mary again "this land is my land"; and another reference to a song Fame
Clue makes it sound like the medallion was hidden in this park before.
yeah I was booted off for a few minutes- panic mode set in!
As I was walkin'Â -Â I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!
Is ev1 still at crosby? I am thinking mounds now
or BC
Â
one time it looks like, Evil: one year of fame
this land is my land- I believe that's a reference to the native americans who gave up the land in the treaty.
it's also a PP & M song (Peter Yarrow): this land is my land, this land is your land; but it could reference NA, too
He staked his claim one year of fame
On land as rich as midas
This land is my land, kicked off the island
To a grove that once did hide us

DD- love THAT NOODLE! I am giong to sleepy now. SCD's for sure tonight!
awful lot of song references in the clues this year...
it is probably back in Como
 Here a verse from this land is your land:
When the sun come shining, then I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving, and the dust clouds rolling,
A voice was chanting as the fog was lifting,
This land was made for you and me.
Voice chanting, wheat fields waving?
It's ok ALD. We have it now anyway.

Pronunciation: 'grOv
Function: noun

Any past hunts where it was found in a grove?
Yes, Terry. I ran over to coolertimes for a few minutes.
Como 1997 look at clue 12.
The place to look is just south of Estabrook
Where you'll find 27 trees in a grove.
Twenty paces to the northwest will end your work
And you'll uncover our treasure trove.
