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.
It can't be in a sock (it was last year!) Our bet is on a 'new' park, maybe conway. But highland still looks good. We're heading for conway, look for blondie and
In clue 3 it says to figure out the #'s 9, 5, and somewhere a four. The somewhere is what we are all looking for so go to clue four and it says that the value is in
Clear reference to Man of fame in many a tome (Webster Dictonary) - Webster's first name was merriam. That's the "which park is it at" clue. The rest either
confirm that or are "vicinity" - or "where do you have to be IN the park" - type clues.
Highland (clues don't fit but I'm saying no - still not many people there last nite)
Linwood (nice fit until last clue-no translucent peak)(about 10 people there at 12)
Palace (way out of the question no peak there-also no on there at 12:30)
CRosby Farm Park (12:40 entrance closed no access to park period)
Harriet Island (1:00 interesting view, but have trouble fitting some clues saw 3 vehicles there in 15 minutes)
Rice Park (this was the shocker it comes very close to fitting all!, at 1:20 about 20-30 people digging here, absolutely the best translucent peak you'll see anywhere-
a tall building also visible from Harriet Island and for man of fame = Washington ave. Right there, etc. But no keeping score/adorn front door. Studying the past=the
landmark center - the new = new construction there, yearning to learn = library right there. And quite clear = ice sculptures, but no trees in a line? I dug for 20 mins.
:)
Mounds Park (@1:50 one group of five people-drunk i think, period nuff said)
Swede Hollow Park (@2:00 nice view of the capital, but again no one there, and nothing fit)
Phalen Park (@2:15 guess what?.....Gates closed...Again!)
Prosperity Heights (@2:30 a couple nice fits, but no translucent peak, and no people)
well be doing the same tonite unless they tell us Good Luck all we're gonna need it!
Can't be at history center or state capitol, they're not St. Paul Parks. Conway's on the east side, you can see Sunray (peaks) from there, has a sliding hill, sports
stuff, cemetary (does that mean anything to anyone?) We're outta here, it's a beautiful day to search
Last year www.metrosupersaver.com had the explainations to the clues. If they are doing it this year is a mystery. Usually they start the second week of the hunt.
Clue #6: Ruth Street - Babe Ruth. "fit in our game", "a man of fame" "bring the treasure HOME"
Clue #7: WOODROW Wilson - a wood row is a line of trees, Wilson Street is by the park.
Clue #8: In a softball, probably on baseball fields. The rec center has a white glass pyrimid on top the front door lit from inside at night, or possibly glass pyrimids at
corner of Sunray Shopping Center, both visible from baseball diamonds.
Dave, not that I think it there yet but drove by Linwood on the way home and about 30 people there. Translucent peak is the community center's steeple with glass
windows on each of the four sides. I am going to drive by there tonight to see if there is a light somewhere that makes it "glow". I'm still trying to void out Newell but
Klinger, If it's at Conway,(Which I think is WRONG)it will be found today. The park is pretty small and there were easily 75 people there at 10:00 A.M.
Well if I was So sure of any park, I wouldn't be at home typing and thinking, So what the hell are you doing here KlingerMan? When I know which park it's in I'm
there 24-7, whether i have to drive, take a bus, take a cab, hitch a ride, or walk.
You must all need some help...... The prize you are looking for is on a line between 3rd base, 2nd base, rt. field, and the 3M logo on top of bldg. 220 at the 3M
Center.... Only a few hours till the BIG GAME>....
Matthew 5:9?
It can't be in a sock (it was last year!) Our bet is on a 'new' park, maybe conway. But highland still looks good. We're heading for conway, look for blondie and
brunette!!!!
I think peak=summit(ave) transucent doesn't mean transparent. it's at capital or public ground near history center EVERY clue fits
MMC, I'm not familiar with that area, is that south of 94 or near anything that could help better.
Where is conway??
Rock...I agree with MP ... not sure I want to let everyone know everything I think... :))
tengrand -- what park is over that way?
Do you know where Hamline College is or the state fair?
Conway is on the east side at the intersection of Ruth and Wilson Streets.
HEY MUSHIE CAN YOU EMAIL ME AND TELL ME ABOUT MP? THEN ILL EMAIL YOU ABOUT HIGHLAND.
Tell me where you are coming from and I will give you exact dir.'s
ok Rock...need address from you
(Deleted item originally posted by The Rock on 01:28pm Jan 31, 1999 CST)
Yeh, know I know the area, thanks. I'm still chewing on the clue with 'new' and 'well'.
Can anyone relate to "MATTHEW 5:9"
got it rock you can delete now if you want
Do you still want/ need directions?
No, I know where hamline and fairview are. Thanks though.
In clue 3 it says to figure out the #'s 9, 5, and somewhere a four. The somewhere is what we are all looking for so go to clue four and it says that the value is in
Newell.
"theres value as WELL in the NEW"

I went to sooooooooo many parks last night!

Linwood (nice fit until last clue-no translucent peak)(about 10 people there at 12)

Conway Park isn't it.

Golden Boy, Why do you think Tome refers to a Websters dictionary?
It is not Conway Park.
Conway doesn't have a sliding hill. conway is totally flat.
Leah Itdoes not say its in a park it says public ground and it says park is the place maybe near a park(ing) sign or park st
Johnny why do you think Conway isn't it?
rock... i sent you a test e-mail just to see if it goes thru...check okay? then send back ... we can see how long this will take... thanks
Tome: "A book of knowledge" - at least that's from the book I have - and , I'll be.. it's a webster's dictionary, copyright 1991.
CONWAY PARK:
Clue #1: A park in St Paul, no golf course.
Clue #2: A sledding hill on one side of the park.
Clue #3: Possibly sports score. Baseball, football, hockey, basketball, tennis all present.
Clue #4: Medallion never been at Conway before.
Clue #5: Sunray Library
Clue #6: Ruth Street - Babe Ruth. "fit in our game", "a man of fame" "bring the treasure HOME"
Clue #7: WOODROW Wilson - a wood row is a line of trees, Wilson Street is by the park.
Clue #8: In a softball, probably on baseball fields. The rec center has a white glass pyrimid on top the front door lit from inside at night, or possibly glass pyrimids at
corner of Sunray Shopping Center, both visible from baseball diamonds.
Dave, not that I think it there yet but drove by Linwood on the way home and about 30 people there. Translucent peak is the community center's steeple with glass
windows on each of the four sides. I am going to drive by there tonight to see if there is a light somewhere that makes it "glow". I'm still trying to void out Newell but
having a hard time.
It DOES say a park is the spot.... it is in a park for sure! :)
But I'm still leaning towards NP - to much fits there.
I went there, No numbers on doors. No 9, 5 or 4. There's a tiny scoreboard, but that's about it.
mushie i sent why its highland now you send why its marium cause i got your test thing
HAS ANYONE SEEN THE "MATTHEW 5:9?"
LadyC: There is one sliding hill over by the McKnight side of the park by the hill the water tower is on.
Golden Boy, true. but a book of knowledge is not necessarily a dictionary. Tome= reference work; dictionary; enclcopedia; novel; textbook.
All you people need to get a life..... Its' at Conway - which I am quite SURE of....
Cougar, hmmm...I must have missed the hill last night.
LadyC: It is not very steep, and not very used, but are a few sliding marks. It is in the area with paths between the rec and library to the east.
Lady C - then why would they use "Tome" - what's your theory.
Klinger, If it's at Conway,(Which I think is WRONG)it will be found today. The park is pretty small and there were easily 75 people there at 10:00 A.M.
Well if I was So sure of any park, I wouldn't be at home typing and thinking, So what the hell are you doing here KlingerMan? When I know which park it's in I'm
there 24-7, whether i have to drive, take a bus, take a cab, hitch a ride, or walk.
spot,place same thing It still doe NOT say IN a park
OK SERIOUSLY? THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST WEIRDEST HINTS EVER. USUALLY BY NOW IT WOULD BE DOWN TO JUST 2 OR 3
PARKS BUT IT SEEMS THAT EVERYBODY IS GOING EVERYWHERE TO LIKE 15 DIFFERENT PARKS ESPECIALLY THE REALLY REALLY
SMALL ONES LIKE LINWOOD OR HILLCREST, AND CONWAY.
Hi golden, forgot to say hi.
Dave - you're ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. None of this chatter matters unless you are willing to GET OUT THERE AND DIG. I'm heading out to NP and MP in
about 15-minutes. Need to get some fresh air.
