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.

Allison, what are you using as an iconoclast for Conway Park?
I don't know that "iconoclast" is really referring to anything in or around the park...or even the name for that matter. In the second line of the clue it says there's value
in the new as well. I'm thinking that most people would immediately get NEWELL out of that. The third line says "if you want to be an iconoclast", which to me,
means not believing it is in NEWELL. What do you think???
Regal - exactly waht I was thinking - plus everyone over there is the name of authors - Carroll (Lewis - Alice in Wonderland) Wilder (Laura Ingalls - Little House on
a man of fame could be damn near any park in the city. como could be Perry Como famous singer and song writer Como also has the slides for flying down hills.
yearning for something worth learning--- como h.s. and como elementery school on its east boarder of the park . valueable sign ... it could be stuck to a sign pole.
an iconoclast, according to Merriam-Webster, is 1. one who destroys religious images or opposes their veneration; or 2. one who attacks cherished beliefs or
institutions. The literal Greek translation is one who breaks idols. A more modern meaning has come to be a rebel, someone who goes against established norms
(usually referring to artists). the only two literal meanings I can get out of this are that you will either have to break something to find it, or break some rules. I doubt
the PP would be encouraging such, so I don't know.
Also, the famous person thing is tough. A couple of years ago the clue spoke of a "notable black man." The person was Clarence Wiginton, who designed the Lake
Harriet Bandshell, which referred to Lake Harriet. If that is considered notable, it makes me think that a "man of fame" need not be all too famous.
there saying studying parks where it was hidden before is fine, but don't forget about new parks or parks where it hasn't been hidden before hence marriam.
For those of you doing searches, one of the things we discovered was that when a search was being done, the whole board comes to a very slow crawl. Usually
hoses up the whole thing. Mom Planet has been working on things here, so maybe that doesn't apply any more. Just wanted to let you know that searching could

Is Moore St. bordering Meriam Park?

newell is out of the question-> its too small.
Meriam sounds good, but how do you fit studying the past can be a blast, but there's value as well in the new? We seem to be skipping that clue...
Nice to have you back regalman. Anything new?
Are we thinking Highland Park because Newell is too small to have so many people digging in it.
I WAS AT BC TODAY IT HAS A BIG HILL TO SLID DOWN AND THE PINE TREES TO THE LEFT WERE ALL PLANTED AT THE SAME TIME
THEY ARE ALL IN A LINE. THEN THERE IS THE SCHOOL AND A HOCKEY RINK
A torpedo from wwII also at como would for sure have been a blast and it is from the past
IF YOU ARE WILLING TO BE A ICONOCLAST= AN IMAGE BREAKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
My gut feel is that it is at HillCrest

Jim Kroyer what is "bc"
como park always seems to have a lot of the clues, but i don't think that it's leading us to como.
battle creek
Too many different park names coming up sounds like we don't know!
NO IT'S NOT AT NEWELL, BUT IT IS ABOUT 6 TIMES BIGGER THAN CHEROKEE!
bc stands for Battle Creek

Meriam Park. (while it was in Newell in 1984.)
What about Hillcrest -- Library there (tomes), sledding hill, too. The clue about the numbers doesn't make sense to me, though.
GUBA don't do a search on VALENTINE. He says slows board and he is on now anyway, so you can see his icon/gif.
Are they not calling como winter park this year...new ... trees in a line.. the tree maze...the slides for flying down hills the two schools for learning on the east
boarder.
Stevarino - What do you mean by Hillcrest??? I don't believe there is a Hillcrest Park. There's a Hillcrest golf course, but that is private, and not connected to a
park.
Dave M: Why Hillcrest? I used to live there.
Steve - Open from 9-5; address is 1974; all on the front door. Then again Merriam has 9-5 hours and closes @ 4 on its front door.
MERRIAM IS IS 1 OR 2BLOCKS EAST OF CLEVELAND AND 94

Neighbors - Valentine invited us to the before/after treasure hunt parties/get-togethers
Dave M: There is no Hillcrest park. Just the GC (i used to caddy there) and Furness Parkway (i used to play there). Where do you mean?
