Question? Are we guaranteed that they hide the medallion before the hunt or do they hide it mid-way through the carnival?

Or how about the famous person being Grover Cleveland. "Grove" being the group of trees? Cleveland is the street by Merriam. I don't know, someone at my

house suggested it.

To The Rock: Interesting street names. Sounds right. The 95 on the water tower is also very suspicious. I think they don't want us to find it at all until much later.

there is a park by The University of St. Thomas- believe it is Newill Park

well the part of higland that i am interested in is away from those streets and go to the side where the street hasnt been named yet. because those streets are the

closest to the golf course and the sliding hill

Can't you see the St. Paul airport from Linwood? Way at the bottom of the hill. To me, this is 'Flying downhill'.

DM t and c makes alot of sense. That's the way I read the first clue but since all the other clues came out I'm not convinced it's near a g.c.

Everyone has been doing a pretty good job so far. Remember to keep it fairly simple. Don't go off the deep end with the realm/idea of the clues. Good luck.
