Does anyone have anything to make of the clue within today's clue? The first letter of each line spells out the word SIFT. Any streets or signs containing the word

sift?

Possibly wrapped in a Jesse bumper sticker, or taped to the back of a button, iconoclast

Clear st. doesn't show up in the St. Paul directory. Are sure that's not in Maplewood?

People are finally figuring out the park it's in and more and more people are coming, my chances are getting slim since I was the first to dig there and none of you

listened to me, HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!

Maybe sift is sifting sand, like it is buried in sand at a playground at one of the parks.

Clear St. is in St. Paul and runs right into what I think is Prosperity Park (I could be wrong about the park, but not the street). As for what its hidden in, I'm starting

to think maybe its attached to an educational CD-ROM (Be smart and DISC-EARNING?)

I don't know how well you guys remember the last years they hid it, but it always seemed that hundreds of people would show up at the end, digging at all hours of

the night. Phalen locks it's gates at 11:00. How happy do you think people would be if while they were digging for the medallion, they either 1) got a ticket, 2) got

their car towed, or 3) got locked into the park. That's why I don't think it's at Phalen!

One of the most clear clues was the 954, as far as explicitness, Think first of trees in a line,somwhere a four 4 trees in a line that point out in the clear open area of

"My Park"

No user inform…

Some people are thinking too hard about some clues. I'm new to this so I'm not aware of what the clues were like in the past.

Iconoclast- maybe it's not as literal as some think-look at it in a different way.

Line of trees-near downtown. Saw lots digging around library-important signs,etc. Nothing---

you would think they put it in an area that will not be disturbed. True?

-Think like the committe that hides this thinks.

For what it is worth, my interpretation of today's clue: "a name will appear" "if you think first of trees in a line" A grove is a group of trees in a line, and there is a park

named Groveland.

I'm looking at Conway because of today's clue. A line of trees, a wood row, Woodrow, Woodrow Wilson. Conway Heights is the only park on Wilson Ave. It

would make more sense though if it extended down to Hudson Ave. I think Henry Hudson is more famous than Tim Conway.

Jason, When we get close to the final hour it is my duty to bring the donuts. To review the clues onsight and to embark on the journey to the medallian. Remember

Como 2 years ago? We were all there several days before it was found. All standing enjoying a donut with our coffee and just then it was announced just inches

away. We later found out,it was the prize we all been searching for.
