Been checking mail. Nada.

Zap me, I'll go off line and you can call me on the mobile. Then you'll still be on with the clues/whatever.

I checkd out the scenic overlook pretty good the other day. The clues did fit, but what about three pyramids? That wouldnt seem to fit.

The hot-line for the Treasure Hunt is 228-2124, on which the voice says the hot-line will be "immediately" updated once the medallion is turned in.

At 8:32 I called, and the recording said the medallions has NOT been found.

It appears that there is either a pure knave working here, or the recording has not been updated (which would be strange given that it is to be "immediately" updated).

Going out to CP later, every time I go there I am convinced I am going to find that damn thing. . . to no avail.

What about "rosebud" in Clue #3, I just don't get it.

It has to be Cherokee, but I'm getting a little tired of that park.

What is a snow dome? Where were they in the park?

I love the park, but the place is looking pretty disgusting. I don't know how it's ever going to recover. (I am biased, since I live near)

In the Circle, the garden club does plant flowers, not sure they are roses. Before roads re-worked, used to be roses in a triangle that's not there any more....

Any place you didn't look?????:)

Cherokee does run east of Smith. It begins (or ends) at Ohio Street, which is about four blocks east of Smith Avenue. The boulevard from Ohio to Smith may or may not be part of Cherokee Park; as kids we considered it part of the park. Cherokee curves to the northwest, crossing Smith near the binocs, then becomes a north-south street at about King Street. If you take a right on Baker, you end up on Cherokee Heights Blvd. which runs through the largest portion of Cherokee Park.

Cheryl, I looked along the railing, under and around the benches, in and around the bushes, under the overlook, etc. If I didn't find it, it was packed under snow.

Just called the line 9:00 (228-2124) - no winner. Going out later myself. People, have a little common courtesy when posting stupid messages about it being found.

Rumors suck and hey mike you know a snowdome one of those little knick-knacks you shake.

FortuneHunter: Would you be willing to buy some "Cooler Club" or "Club Cooler" stuff, like hats, buttons, shirts, etc., that said you're a member of this elite club????? Maybe like with a logo that that has PPMCC - "Pioneer Press Medallion Cooler Club" - and that 'fat-mouthed' guy????

If so, say so loud and clear hear!! It's an idea that's being discussed around 'this' cooler and we're trying to get some steam generated for it. Things are starting to get 'hot' but we need all the steam we can generate!!! :)

Snow dome - you know. Those little plastic things with water and fake snow in them. You shake them up and watch the snow fall.

Don't think the medallion is "taped" to a snow dome. I don't think tape could hold in snow, ice, water, etc.
