Doubles yes, but most of the prizes are gift certificates :P If I find it, I'd tell em to keep the stuff and I'll keep the medallion.

I'll drop by Central Park tomorrow, that is if I can find parking :P I've been down there twice for CAG's "The Osier Split" and both times I left to a very full parking lot.

Hey Diggin, did you finally get that one? Maybe a double reason for you to go there tomorrow, Medallion Hunt and get a geocache.

Any word on a clue yet?

Might be too busy, I'll be at the park.

With any luck, the medallion will be hidden next to the Osier Split geocache, I already know of quite a few good hiding spots in THAT tree.

Yes... unfortunately for me I don't have one. With any luck, they'll hide under an iron statue then :D

well then thats a great place to look in any park!

 

and as for staying away from activites...that is what we all thought when they put it in COMO! nah, they wont put it where everyone is gonna be! so don't rule out Central-just plan on it being hid extremely well there!

Ahh, I was just at Acorn this morning getting Buzzygirl's newly placed cache.

So that's what that golden rose coin was there for... And I thought it was just decoration ;) Just kidding of course.

You might be onto something Diggin, but then again, who knows? Central will just be a nice place to start. I like Evergreen too, it was the first park I searched at the start of the WC Med Hunt this year.

I certainly hope the photo isn't a spoiler.... Like the location, just a grassy patch of land.

Well don't fret too much Kitch, I just received a call from Diggin4it out at the BBQ party in Central Park, and she says that they can't find anyone with info about the clue.  I guess it isn't posted anywhere either.  KC & Reg are out there with her and her husband and the baby they're watching.  It sounded like getting the baby ready reminded her of the "good ol days" in that you just can't get up and run when you want to. :-) 

I take it you work evenings too.  At least we'll be able to get the 10am clues, but it might be tough to get the 3pm clues. We can support the field from here for those later clues anyway.  If one sounds pretty good, I can always duck out early if need be too, but that wouldn't be until after 9:00 anyway. :-(

Curious participants now begin,
The City limits the Golden Rose is within.
Follow the rules, search high and low,
On Roseville park land it's sure to show.

;-)  You're just sad that you're stuck at work like I am K.

Although that map is an awesome hunting tool with all the photo's and info, it's still 4 years old so there might be more recent parks that are missing.  Can someone post an updated map if you find one?

What's with the  
Select/Deselect All   Delete Selected   Move Selected 
options at the bottom of the screen here? I thought those options were for the thread creator only.

Hey all. Back from the evening's festivities. Diggin, Regman, and myself talked to the actual clue writer for this hunt. She had a folder with all the clues in it!!!!!!!!!

It took great self control not to rip the folder from her hands, I'm quite impressed with the group. Diggin tried drillin her for more info, but alas none came up. We're in the same boat as everybody, but at least we got to meet the cluewriter!

Oh and the Medallion is most likely not at Evergreen park, Reg and I checked it out tonight. One park off the list.
