A few Questions: How do we know the medallion hasn't been found yet? Maybe someone found it and is just having fun watching us all rack our brains trying to
figure the clues out.
Might it be possible that the person who wrote the clues is in this chat room and trying to misguide us?
When do they hide the medallion? If it is at Conway, wouldn't a nearby resident have seen something suspicious when they were hiding it? Maybe the" 9, 5 and
Sorry Chris, I've met some of the people from the Cooler (not you), what sense would it make for PP to try to throw people off? Unless they are just evil. BUt even
so, the clues lead to Conway. If you go there and check it out it works. If you have other ideas, share
I live acrosss the street from conway and believe it or not it is a small park but there is traffic that goes in and out of it all the time...this neighborhood is not really the
I think you felt like that yesterday...monica not because you were in the wrong park but only because we have not gotten a clue to start guiding us what or near
where to look for...you get there and you just don't know where to look...
The tree street name theory - NO, it's a good thought, but how does this lead you to a name? IF you read over the clues from the past few years and then compare
the explanations to the WOOD ROW Wilson theory, it just fits right in.
Was at Conway yesterday, and it "felt" right to me. But yes, not sure where in the park yet to look. . .
MedStal: I'd love to share more, but I like that there's no one else where I'm digging right now...do you ever finally know when you find the spot and you just have to
keep digging until it's yours? That happens to me every year, I'm in the right area, and someone else gets it. Not this year.
I still am standing by Swede Hollow - the park hasn't been dug up to much - few people have been there - and well the clues look good - sure you can make the
clues fit that park - but well anyone can "make" clues fit any park.....so everyone thinks there park is right - the big thing I really - really like about swede - is you can
see the big water tower - you're thinking - yea so I can see one too.... but well this water tower has a red 3M logo on the side of it - this is not by 3M campus off of
Mcnight - it's about 4 miles west of 3M campus....
The water tower they are referring to also has cellular phone antennas on it. This could lead you to many things..... Trees in a line (telephone poles)...where do you
get the best reception and see the 3M sign and peak... a phone at the park lined up with something... Any other ideas??

somebody, anybody! In clue no. 6 what is a tome? In todays clue what is the big red object in the sky? We have looked at merrian and highland and now I'm
hearing things about the high bridge and 3m! What park should I be looking in? MT
What does anyone think of the idea that the 9, 5, & 4 point to what the object is hiden in "adorn the front door?" Usually the actual item that the medallion is found in
good thought tango, i like how you put "everyone thinks it is in their park.." you are absolutely right.....we are all really smart and we all have good ideas.......SO
Anybody ruled out Mounds Park yet? Keep out aan eye for water on high could be looking at the river from the bluffs, transluscent top...capitol, red sign...1st bank
I am sure it is conway........all the clues fit......and the 3m sign on top of a building glows that you willl see from the park the illuminated peaks the water tower
The first line of today's clue says "Keep out an eye for water on high", could this mean keep an 'i' out of the phrase water on high(i.e. an anagram). If so I came up
with 'he who grant' or 'threw hogan'.
When I tried it on 'for water on high' I came up with 'forge hawthorn' or 'go fer hawthorn'. Any thoughts?
Conway although not where I would have thought earlier is a very good idea! Water on high-- water tower yearnig for something worth learning and Many a "tome"
could refer to the library right next to the park almost sharring land with, Glowing translucent peak-- sunray shopping center has these red light-- 3M building. there
is a sliding hill there. its on wilson and ruth by mcknight rd. what do you all think? ANything else I should address?
Don't neccessarily think it's in a baseball. The clue said "ROUND", which implies to me two dimensions (circular). A three dimensional "ROUND" object would be a
globular or spherical. What could a "ROUND" white object be if it is not a baseball? Anyone have an idea???
Hello everyone! Can anyone think of a religious item that is round and white, besides a host? Could it be hidden in something religious that you have to break open?
Chris P.--Historically, the PP doesn't say things just to throw of readers. The clue might be obscure, but it is relevant to the park the medallion is located in.
Also, let's look at the most discussed locales:
BattleCreek Conway Merriam Como Phalen Mounds Irvine Park capitol mall Swede Hallow
What clues fit for each park? I haven't been to all the parks yet, so I don't know all that fits. I'm not lazy, just don't have the days off from work. jennyjenny

I'm just crabby about this now because I was at Conway after clue #3, but then #4 threw me off so I went elsewhere.
Have any of you been out to Hillcrest? There is a library there, and also a hill with a water tower. It is hard to tell which clues to tear apart, and which ones are just

not golf course..clues said specificly...a park is the spot NOT A GOLF COURSE

I went to conway yesterday afternoon and it just didn't feel right I don't think its there
Does anyone know if there's a bunch of steets named after trees like chestnut walnut etc..
Tango--I did drive by merriam on saturday.
Didn't look extensively at the park because by then I was totally disallusioned by the whole thing, again!
Anyways, share your thoughts! jennyjenny
I live acrosss the street from conway and believe it or not it is a small park but there is traffic that goes in and out of it all the time...this neighborhood is not really the
suspicious type...kinda ghetto...lol
First, about Como's 9th hole...it isn't Par Five!!! And about the "transluscent peak," why do people think it's a dome? Why not a lamp post?
Just a couple of thoughts...

Battle Creek holds a lot of clues. Dont count it out yet. You can see the 3M sign from below.
Kristine,I didnt mean on the golf course but maybe near the ninth hole at Como
Kristine - thats the best I've heard for the "trees in a line". I don't think they are just reffering to a row of trees at a park.
Can the 1st sign downtown be seen from anywhere in Highland?
trees named one after another is by irvine park by cehstnut and smith by the high bridge...alot of people out there
9 5 4 9 5 4 9 5 4 9 5 4 9 5 4 9 5 4 9 5 4 9 5 4 9 5 4 9 5 4 9 5 4 9 5 4.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ughhhhhhhhhhhhh it is soooooooooo frustrating...someone help me figure out
this clue I am BEGGING
think the 459 is overrated try not to think about for now kristine, but i know what you mean....

the garage logic think tank has spread out to various parks now and we may even set up tailgating at midway stadium
somebody, anybody! In clue no. 6 what is a tome? In todays clue what is the big red object in the sky? We have looked at merrian and highland and now I'm
hearing things about the high bridge and 3m! What park should I be looking in? MT
What does anyone think of the idea that the 9, 5, & 4 point to what the object is hiden in "adorn the front door?" Usually the actual item that the medallion is found in
is hinted at in one of the first 3 or 4 clues.
where did you get antennas from?
good thought tango, i like how you put "everyone thinks it is in their park.." you are absolutely right.....we are all really smart and we all have good ideas.......SO
COME ON PIONEER PRESS......GIVE IT UP@!!!
A TOME IS A LARGE BOOK OR VOLUME OF BOOKS ....LIKE DICTIONARY ENCYCLOPEDIA ETC.......
If it is in Swede Hollow this year I will eat the medallion (you will have to wait awhile to turn it in).

think like a garage logician think like a saints fan..increase your CI
Dagnabit - How about a balloon? Any thoughts on my previous post?
Hello everyone! Can anyone think of a religious item that is round and white, besides a host? Could it be hidden in something religious that you have to break open?
Hence "iconoclast"?
someone had mentioned might be in a white balloon? well screw it I am off going to search.....goodluck to everyone...

One definition of tome is a volume forming a part of a larger work. Each issue of Poor Richards Almanack would be a tome.
I'm just crabby about this now because I was at Conway after clue #3, but then #4 threw me off so I went elsewhere.
Have any of you been out to Hillcrest? There is a library there, and also a hill with a water tower. It is hard to tell which clues to tear apart, and which ones are just
used to rhyme with the others.
how does this work
you read the post and figure things out using garage logic
Ben Franklin created the fictional Richard Saunders. It was Richard who stated the proverbs such as:
God helps them that help themselves.
Richard's name appears in each tome of "Poor Richard's Almanack". Any clue where Saunders Ave. is located?
