1999 Pioneer Press Medallion Hunt

Submitted by Casey Trauer on

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.

I have officially had the fever for weeks...this year and for the past 28 years. This is the 29th year for this craziness and the 3rd year for these boards.

Goodnight!

Al, The core group that started the Cooler Crew has tried dilligently to post here off and on so that the true value and meaning of this yearly Cooler can continue.

We'd come in, get REALLY PISSED OFF, leave... Lick our wounds, crab, bitch, knash our teeth... But then come bock as there WERE/ARE folks here that are

deserving of the GOOD that this Cooler can do. We'd bee bock and forth, to and fro...

You see, this particular Cooler - The Med Hunt Cooler - is very near and dear to The Cooler Crew. Ittiz how we came to meet. From here last year we became an

on line community, and "Shoot The Breeze With The Cooler Crew" - the only non-topiced Cooler here - came to bee. The Cooler Crew meets in real time, a

minimum of once a month. Just to have fun and laugh and joke, eat, drink, play cards (or Pictionary, or Trivial Pursuit...).

So, we tend to watch over it, police it (we've done a piss poor job this year...), guide it, help newbies, etc.

But ittiz very very hard when the place izz full of very rude children. We've tried to do the best we can...

And, let me say... Any - ANY - adult in this Cooler, we could use your HELP!!! You've seen what I've posted... Don't be afraid to act *correctly* and say, "Look,

Poster. You are way outta line. Keep it up and you'll be outta here. Want that? No? Then clean it up. Otay!! Now! Let's have fun!"

How much will the next clue shrink the park? Any ideas?

So before we all pack it in, does anyone have any favorites for digging sites. I was on the east side of the library tonight, just slightly up from the parking lot. From

there you can see the water tower, 3M, the library (obviously), and only one of the peaks from Sun Ray. It also seems like a good secluded spot for someone trying

to be stealthy while hiding the medallion.

I believe I know where the medallion is, but I am not going to reveal that. The next clue will hopefully prove me correct.

My guess is that tomorrow's clue will either eliminate the sporting fields (or the non-sporting field area if I'm wrong about the sports being a red herring) or it will

point in some totally different direction, like up, saying its in a tree or something.

jeloba, I'll go way out in left feild and say 9 and 5 remind me of the movie 9to5 with Dolly Parton and (I can't remember the name of the brown haired secretary) the

comidian. Well, got to admit it's a new angle.

594 has nothing to do with addresses or people on a sports team, or any of that!

I still think the 5 and 94 are the highways north and south of the park............. numbers obviously keep score at a ballfield, as for front door, maybe a street sign w/

the numbers of that block could be the "front door"--- anybody, anybody?!?!?

The medallion has NOT been found

I guess somebody posted this afternoon that the medallion had been found in Conway in a white balloon. This person claimed they were the medallion hunting

committee, but it turned out to be a hoax!

It was found in an old navy sock last year. I would vote for a white frozen water balloon

Condom, probably not such a good idea, kids are probably hunting for this too- wouldn't be too cool for mom or dad to explain what that was.

Am I the only person in the TC area that can read that danged sign correctly???

Ittiz "Otto Hummer" that's in Highland - *not* "Homer."

And Minnihaha is NOT State Highway 5!!!

Norm Coleman and King Boreas will have some explaining to do if it ends up in a Durex or Trojan balloon.

lillie tomlin,yeah...now if I could just put the idea to the clues...althought dolly's peaks might be transluent...(I can't believe I said that, this is a special kind of stupid

for me....but it made me laugh this is good) I will now attempt to actually somehow come up with a smart idea, but that just might hurt.

The translucent peak you seek is the lighted pyrmid roof of the building just past the 3M building. I am still stumped by the large red object high in the sky. Any

ideas???

Minnehaha isn't highway five, but highway five is located just south of Beaver Lake, which is just a ways north from Conway.
