1999 Pioneer Press Medallion Hunt

Submitted by Casey Trauer on

It's time for the Medallion Hunt! The first clue will appear on PioneerPlanet just after midnight Saturday, Jan. 22. Come back here to compare notes with other treasure seekers, but be certain you read the rules on the Planet's Winter Carnival page.

mommy knows best

This is not the love connection!!!! We have enough trouble getting through without adding "boy meets girl" to this site. Exchange e-mail addresses in clue form. If

Stone Cold gets it right, he wins a date with the "reddie"!

Rome is just North of The Golf Course, and south, as well....... But I like the FORD connection with that. STILL can't get anything for the 954...

It doesn't matter how many predator moview there are, since "the body" was only in the first one. "I aint got time to bleed" (no time for cold feet) - "action" "blast"

"iconoclast" etc.

O.K I'LL SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU ALL.

clue #4 says to study the past.

954= 1995 4 years ago @ battle creek.

clue #5 says to be diserning and yearn for learning.

** read clue #7 from 1995!!

clue #2 says to stay away from sliding hill at BC.

FEVER MAN - Your advice is appriciated, and I agree with you, but you MUST make the 954 clue fit in there at BC. It's not spelled out yet for certain

Hate to burst your medallion induced bubble, But Webster Magnet school ain't nowhere near BC. But BC magnet school is.

Seasoned Vet- Are you speaking of Indian Mounds park? Were you also one of the thousands of people who dug THAT park out last year? As I recall, it was

actually hidden in ChairOkey

Ashlee Olds

Nope just a school, the address doesn't fit either, it's 1015 south Snelling... Right now I'm leaning towards phalen, HOWEVER the part about "a nine a five, and

SOMEWHERE a four" doesn' necessarily suggest that the 4 is along with the other two... <shrug>

I have kind of a stretch on a clue here, but let me you what you think. Discern means insight and judgement. Could clue 5 be telling us that there is something worth

learning in sight?

is anyone else out there throwing out bogus clues to throw off the compition?

ChiefSmoke why is the school house idea so far out of your realm of thinking?

What is the precint # of the police station on Montreal?

Remember clue #1 Being "caught" at the wrong "scene" if you were on the golf corse?

ok everyone... close your eyes and imagine this scenario.... you're playing in highland park in the summer time... suddenly you hear someone SHOUT "FOUR" in the

distance... you dont know exactly where it's from but it definitely came from SOMEWHERE
