I think the cooler club stuff would be cool, such as a t-shirt. But you should have it next year. Get a t-shirt or something that you can wear when you're out searching for the medallion. You can spot and chat with some of the other cooler clan.
Hey Green how about this for a T-shirt motto "NO, I'M NOT THE CLUB PRESIDENT I'M A MEMBER" PPMCC Just a pathetic attempt at humor hehehe Also I hate to say it but our mascot needs a name "COOLER HAND LUKE?" LOLOLOLOLOL
If the real Casey knows about it, why isn't it on the main Winter Carnival page and besides, a snowdome? It would have had to have been a broken or empty one since the water freezing inside of it would not have been kind to its structure. I was there at 8:30 and there was no sign of it having been found.
think i saw some of you the last few days. some i remember seeing from the last few years.the wheather was been so nice it brings out a different bunch of people. the ones that want it for the money not the medallion. when its -25 out thats a fun bunch.
I've been following the water cooler, but haven't posted much - server was really slow today. Some idiot, usually about once every two hours announces its been found.
Two Sisters... Understand you're ladies... but could you just raise your voice a titch... Be a bit more vocal/vehment??? Would greatly appreciate it!!! Thank you so much!!!
"Chief-Head Grunt/Pusher for PPMCC Great Junque"!!!
Please, allow me to say to those of you that are just joining us this evening...
While I'm really excited and pushing this great idea as much as I can, the original concept began with our AllieGo, who, bless her, thought up the idea of name tags for all Coolerphiles - so that we Diggers would know each other (maybe like Trekies???? "Beam me up, Boreus!!!!") out in the field. I, being a mover/shaker... just took her original idea to further xtremes.
When I was out digging tonight I found it very difficult to distinguish between the sound of hitting grass and the sound of hitting a soggy cardboard pasta box. It was a bit frustrating. Any suggestions?
greenslvs2, I don't know what you are pushing, but devise a plan for anyone that would want to put in $1. and if the person that finds it is registered that they put a $1 in the pot, wins the whole pot.If an outside finds it, donate the money to a charity. It would built up the pot.
Now all, I cannot even begin to belive the response my pathetic inquiry has generated... I'd tried/started to thank you all individually, however, the response I'm getting is so overwhelming... I'm not able to keep up with posts on the Med!!!
(Oh!!!! How's this??? "I'm A Med-Head"?? Gosh, SO MANY ideas and great things we can do!!!)
Please begin directing all your kudos and "wants" to our Greg Sax. I believe he's better equiped to handle these wants/requests/ideas. And if not, I'm SURE I'll hear from him to elicit my assistance!!! LOL!!!
Whatever!!! This is great!!! I've a feeling we're (The Pioneer Press Medallion Cooler Club") is about to become a real physial entity!!! Us guys here, this year, will be the founders and we can look back on having accomplished something!!!!
Here's to good, happy and successful digging!!! This year and all those to folloWWW
I was out at CP from about 6:45 to 8:15. Big crowd. Most of the park has been picked over. But there's at least ONE spot that has a lot of virgin snow.... I may be changing my theory on where it is.
I think the neighbors may start to complain to the PP, pushing them to give a clue that narrows it down to at least 1/2 of the park. It needs to be found so I can get on w/ my life.
I think I have an idea where it is. It seems to me from past clues that there are three kinds of clues. Type one clues are the ones that say something is nearby like a line of of double division or water and woods in the neighborhood. These are things that point to the park, but aren't necessarily in sight. I think Annapolis and Water and Wood St fall in this category. Other clues, type 2 specifically say to look or watch for something. I believe that these are the things you can see from the spot of the medallion's hiding place. I think the capitol dome, the smokestack, the pyramids, and the high ground fall in this category. Thus you have to find a place from which you can see all these things, though you may not necessarily be right on top of them. Finally, type 3 clues which are usually fairly vague-sounding and random actually refer to the specific hiding spot of the medallion or the thing that contains it. I think "Rosebud" is a double meaning like bandana was last year and partly refers to the medallion's container. "Dough" and a "place to play" seem to be significant, yet we are not told they are near or to look for them. Does this tell anybody anything?
Yea, BJ. You left too soon. Told you to save your energy. Anyway, 'cuz you... <g> You KNOW I HATE to repeat anything 'cuz I'm not lazy and don't like layzies... But, I think tonite's clue will mention two object/things that will relate/zone in on another object (some objects???) already alluded to. JMHO. Be ready... now... I preface this with THIS IS MY REASONING!!! - to head back to CP with knowledge you've got but don't know you've got (until you hear tonite's clue!) and more narrow down the location of the Med. However, I was asked at work today when I thouht things would pop for good, and I, reading past histories, don't think it will happen until after tomorrow nite's clue. But... I do hope my dear C, her Hubs and that hound prove me wrong tonite!!!!
Good luck,BJ!!!! You, too, Mac, where ever you're hunting!!!
Yes Dave it tells me alot. It could be in play dough or the can it comes in. Also, "Rosebud" is actually a reference to a sentimental childrens toy and was used in the movie as a sled.
David: In my opinion, forget "place to play" as that was a fairly early on clue and, I believe, referred to the Civic Center - "winter" and, additionally, "back to" because the new hockey team will be based there - coming "back to." I feel it was just a clue to pinpoint the park the Med is in. But, as always here, this is just my opinion. There's lots other, and you should check them all out. :)
Hello from Cherokee! I just got back out here from being at work all day. What is the latest buzz? There are alot of people and the place is getting pretty torn up. What is consider the hot idea for location within CP?
A Metal... Why don't you start lining up something this year... Like with folks/friends you've met here... for next year??? That's what I've done!!! I've met two great ladies I've gotten to kind'a know and we're hell bent for next year already!!! Can't wait, all excited, and raring to go!!! We've our "Cooler-Head's-Prevail" name and already are making plans!!! Just based on the great fun we've had this year, in what??? Seems like a lifetime, but only five days!!!!
It's more fun with more than one!!! (I'm really getting tired of rhyme... I was even dreaming in rhyme last nite and about where that damn disk could be buried!!!!) Yea, it would be great to pocket all the money for yourself, but... Really, this whole hunt is more than that. Sorry... (putting soap box WAY away...)
I don't see what the civic center has to do with anything personally. The more I look at the "place to play" couplet now, the more I'm convinced that it has something to do with the Medallion rather than the park. Anyone want to throw out ideas of what place to play might refer to? I like the Play-Doh (or however they spell it) idea, but I don't actually think that's it.
hi people! last time i was here, the medallion was still at mounds :) when did they move it, saturday, right? my strategy of not looking for a few days paid off - i'll be fresh for tomorrow.
Do you think that "city streets" was a clue to get you in the right park or a clue to set boundaries within the park? There are several city named streets like Sydney and Winona. PS,please excuse my typing, it is hard to type on a 2"x4" keyboard in a truck.
Going to get my car back at the park...
ta, ta for now....
MW, How many people down at CP?
greenslvs2: willing to buy PPMCC paraphernalia? YES!!!
Maybe 400, thru the whole park.
I think the cooler club stuff would be cool, such as a t-shirt. But you should have it next year. Get a t-shirt or something that you can wear when you're out searching for the medallion. You can spot and chat with some of the other cooler clan.

Oopps, think i just "threw the cow over the fence some hay?!"
hey ppmcc stuff sounds cool. count me in
ppmcc stuff sounds cool to us too.
EagleEye: LOUDER!!!! PP CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!!
Cheryl Straight: You should "Bulletin Board" yourself for throwing the cow over the fence some hay.
RED DOG, have you made the trip to the springs?
Hey Green how about this for a T-shirt motto "NO, I'M NOT THE CLUB PRESIDENT I'M A MEMBER" PPMCC Just a pathetic attempt at humor hehehe Also I hate to say it but our mascot needs a name "COOLER HAND LUKE?" LOLOLOLOLOL

ME WANTS WATER COOLER WITH OFFICIAL "WATER COOLER" LOGO!
think i saw some of you the last few days. some i remember seeing from the last few years.the wheather was been so nice it brings out a different bunch of people. the ones that want it for the money not the medallion. when its -25 out thats a fun bunch.
No, the medallion has NOT been found.
When it is found, you will see a notice on the
Winter Carnival page, not here, where people can try to impersonate me all they want.
They can never, however, imitate my natural charm and good looks.
Yours,

How about buttons? $3.00 buttons that are redeemable for $0.50 if you DON'T win. Just gives us a little sense of winning, ya know...
When I was out digging tonight I found it very difficult to distinguish between the sound of hitting grass and the sound of hitting a soggy cardboard pasta box. It was a bit frustrating. Any suggestions?
look very careful at everything you dig up. that snow is so hard it could have been dug up and moved a few times
How about Cooler ski caps, with a cool logo or lil medallion emblem on it?
greenslvs2, I don't know what you are pushing, but devise a plan for anyone that would want to put in $1. and if the person that finds it is registered that they put a $1 in the pot, wins the whole pot.If an outside finds it, donate the money to a charity. It would built up the pot.

"Planeteers" it is!!!!

Any guesses on tonight's clue?
BJ, where the heck is this virgin snow? Forgive my language, but Cherokee looks like its been raped.
I think the neighbors may start to complain to the PP, pushing them to give a clue that narrows it down to at least 1/2 of the park. It needs to be found so I can get on w/ my life.
Cooler Hand Luke is a classic.
kinda quiet out here tonite
How about this: PPMCC - Hunting for the Mother Lode

It is times like this that I wish I had a car of my own....
I know where the medallion is , in the root in a tree in CP!
Yes Dave it tells me alot. It could be in play dough or the can it comes in. Also, "Rosebud" is actually a reference to a sentimental childrens toy and was used in the movie as a sled.

Dough=Baker Street, right by CP.

hi people! last time i was here, the medallion was still at mounds :) when did they move it, saturday, right? my strategy of not looking for a few days paid off - i'll be fresh for tomorrow.
I think the smokestacks might not just be the NSP one.
That's all the hints I'm giving tonight!!!
Got it, Matt; re: Backer. Yup. I think that!
Do you think that "city streets" was a clue to get you in the right park or a clue to set boundaries within the park? There are several city named streets like Sydney and Winona. PS,please excuse my typing, it is hard to type on a 2"x4" keyboard in a truck.
