Lillydale Park makes sense: It has three pyramids, well known sledding hills, it's on Baker Drive, you can see the huge smoke stack from it, there's a huge playground...
5. The Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt medallion is always hidden in Ramsey County. The Pioneer Press reserves the right to discontinue the hunt at any time if public property is destroyed.
Lillydale has three large pyramid shaped buildings in a line, right in the center of the park. Like I said, it's right on Baker Street, and it's near the line that divides Dakota and Ramsey counties, as well as two cities.
ivy- your explanation of the clues could point to any regional park in St. Paul. I highly doubt that the playground equipment says "Rosebud" on it and if it does, than I would imagine several other play systems at other parks would as well. Besides, way to miniscule. Any chance you live across the street from Ivy Park?
You guys-don't you remember? It wasn't but a couple of hours ago when we were all agreed that it was at C.P. It IS at C.P. The med is not very large. It would be easily missed by someone looking for it in a pasta box when it's actually in bread dough, or a tums bottle or a banana peel. The med is at Cherokee Park.
Right as we speak I am sitting in Ivy Parks parking lot with my trusty laptop. This place is starting to get busy. With in the next hour the medallion will be found since Ivy is a small Park. Thank god for technology!
If it is in cherokee can somebody please show me what part of the park hasn't already been ransaked? When I was ther there were people sorting out the garbage cans!
Im not telling you guys directions if you people dont believe me. I know for a fact its there. I have connections in high places. You people make me mad. Thanks for nothing you idiots! Good luck! Some of us have good sportsmanship.bye!
Thats right Clare, you are right.
What do you think it's disguised as this year?
Lillydale Park makes sense: It has three pyramids, well known sledding hills, it's on Baker Drive, you can see the huge smoke stack from it, there's a huge playground...
Does Ivy have hills or what are the kids going zoom on?
It is in Ramsey people. Why dont you go to the park yourself.
Clare, yeah!
Lilydale Park is in St. Paul? I don't think so.
Isnt Lillydale on the lower half next to the mississippi? It needs
to be on higher ground...I defintly think Ivy is the place. I think it
would have been found at cherokee already and Ivy is kinda discrete.
Have you guys already ruled out Lillydale or what? We were there along with probably 100 other people until 4:00 this morning.

Does anyone still think it's in mounds?
It's in St. Paul - check the map. It's on higher ground - very obvious when you drive across the Smith Rd. bridge to it.
Everyone - meet at Ivy in 20 minutes. We will be rich, or a couple thousand dollars richer.
How many possible clues are left?
Lillydale has three large pyramid shaped buildings in a line, right in the center of the park. Like I said, it's right on Baker Street, and it's near the line that divides Dakota and Ramsey counties, as well as two cities.
Great to be back all. So it wasn't found in Cherokee. Hmmmm are we ruling that out?
It will take me about 4 hours to get there...so I will be reading
your names on the pionerplanet instead...but tip a couple back for
me in celebration.
IvyIs, why don't you give us some directions on how to get to Ivy, and stay in Ramsey County?
Where the hell is Ivy?
Well, I'm heading back to Lillydale. Good luck all!
has anyone thought of highland park (high ground)
Your right Clare, I was at cherokee earlier and there are about 100 people diging up the place.
If you need to find Ivy go back about 20 messages. But it is in Ramsey
county and in st paul...thanks to the new lines that were drawn this
year!

The clues end this thursday.
Fair Trade - Lilydale is in Dakota county.
I think IvyIs is sending us on a wild goose chase. I don't believe his explanations. Anyone agree?
I live quite far from Ivy park...about 265 miles from Ivy, in good
ol Madison, Wisconsin! Well, at least we all pretty much agree its
in the same general part of the city! Thats something good to look at!
I still think about highland it has sliding and the 2 new watertowers
How many more clues is it going to take for somebody to bag this thing?
Those voices in my head that read the clues all say "Cherokee Park", but that place has been turned over on its ear already...
Sisters, that was my take on Ivy last night...
You guys-don't you remember? It wasn't but a couple of hours ago when we were all agreed that it was at C.P. It IS at C.P. The med is not very large.

Does anyone have the # to call to find out if somebody has found it?
Right as we speak I am sitting in Ivy Parks parking lot with my trusty laptop. This place is starting to get busy. With in the next hour the medallion will be found since Ivy is a small Park. Thank god for technology!
I know a hotshot at the pioneer press, maybe if I can convince him to
confide in me who the clue maker is, we can all tie this person up and torture
him in the form of wordtwisting and clues!
Tell me how to drive from Cherokee to that parking lot, Ivy...
Peter, only one of the 8 clues point to Highland, while every one of them points to Cherokee.
Former inmypocket: Agreed!
Go for it Clare!!
There is a pond and a creek.
Finally someone w/some sense(2 sisters)
You must live pretty close to Ivy! You sure got there fast! ZOOM!
Maybe kids drive cars through the park at night and in the process
they drove it in the ground making it impossible to find that damn
coin. They should have kept it metal...I love metal detectors!
I'm gone 4 a few but Ill be back at 4:00. C-ya!!
I think they all point towards highland if you think of the way the P.P. twist the words
If it is in cherokee can somebody please show me what part of the park hasn't already been ransaked? When I was ther there were people sorting out the garbage cans!
you're all wasting your time it's not in Ivy.
Im not telling you guys directions if you people dont believe me. I know for a fact its there. I have connections in high places. You people make me mad. Thanks for nothing you idiots! Good luck! Some of us have good sportsmanship.bye!
