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 Wonderland
You may be right Treasureman, but I'm not sure. Also, a lot of the trees are about the same size as trees neighboring them, so it could be hard to pick out. But the
3M/water tower point reminds me, I don't think you can see those from the tennis courts.
GREEN..please explain earlier comment about clue w/numbers, was that one wrong too? sometimes vs somewhere?? Thanks for infor RE:BASH , yeah got it. 4:00
am my absolute bedtime curfew, maybe see ya tomorrow, if not GOOD LUCK & see ya on the 7th. nite
Doc, that same thought x-ed my mind, but only someone really good could get a plane tree in the dead o'winter sans leaves/fruit. I don't think that's it..
I feel confident its PLACES and not PLANES, so I'm not worries about the trees not being flat. Just how easy or hard it would be to compare them. I think there
may be something more abvious. At least that's my gut feeling.
Allison, what if the clues *were* written a goodly amount of time prior to The Hunt, and originally the hockey rinks were to have been of the same size - like what
we discussed at dinner?
Oh, yea. Never mind. They could have easily changed the clue at the last minute.
Thanks Allison and green. Maybe my brain is frozen and I am faltering from digging exhaustion so forgive me. Sometimes you just stand there and say to yourself,
could all these people be wrong, am I nuts. Oh well, thanks for the kick in the shorts I needed that :)
:)okay so given the whole water issue connected with all the other clues"why Conway"? From what I can tell it doesn't look like must is left to look through/for.
green it is truly one for the books. When you stand at conway in the middle of all those baseball fields and hockey rinks alot of things add up. But planes of the same
size just don't. I can't believe the clue writer would not notice that the hockey and skating rinks are all different sizes. Maybe as usual I am missing something. This is
Two frozen places of equal size = North Pole, South Pole. Could it be buried by a pole and someone missed it or just didn't dig thoroughly enough? Are the flagpole
But... Check the TALL METAL light standards - there's at least one, by the southern most hockey rink... Ittiz been dug around, but you mite find a second and then
Also, it could be a double meaning about a line of trees (utility poles) point towrds a valuable sign (True Value Sign). Gotta go though. Over and out.
Seems to me that everthing out there is frozen. Anything two things of equal planes could be anything the same size. Parking lots, baseball diamonds, ect. But doesn't
Seems everyone is hitting the sack. Me too. Talk to ya all in the morning. I wish all of you the best of luck and no sore backs chopping at all that frozen Ice.
Does, Howdy... but... Allison actually may bee on to something with hiz N/S Poles. There *are* tons o'poles out there... And, forget about "planes" - I'm pretty
shure it should be "places," as Allison says.
Guys got brains out the wazoo... He has made some XCELLENT points re how the clue was "too easy." And his pole idea is sounding less and less far fetched.
But, too... I'm getting more and more tired! ROFLOLPMP!!!
seems alot of the remaining harcorers are focusing still on the tennis courts and the skating rinks a few straglers out and about in there own secret thoughts i checked
here and there but im tired of digging and walked around fer awhjile watching those eager beavers shovel away ....
JT, you got an xact idea on *which* post???? Or do they lead to/line up w/something????
Ace, still here... Tho not for long... Fatigue izz starting to get the best o'me...
But am trying to a)convince myself I can operate a motor vehicle this tired, or b) not drive to Conway and await Allison Wonderland checking bock in....
Channel 4 was out there interviewing. Went to bed after the clue came out and couldn't sleep. Went out there and stayed all night. Someone tell me it's the right park
again. This is crazy. Oh, by the way, the tool of the day is an ice pick.

To see two frozen places of the same size...
Well, if not the hockey rinks, seems like it would have to bee two softball diamonds. *Frozen* ground.

Deb, no. I think the number clue was printed correctly.

we discussed at dinner?
Oh, yea. Never mind. They could have easily changed the clue at the last minute.
A name? From "two frozen places'?
North Pole, South Pole?
hey there have a question for anyone---- what is meant by the water on high???
Flag pole, utility pole. Though I thought they were fairly well dug already.
Allison, I *think* the South Pole is larger... Or do I have it bockwards?????
Thanks Allison and green. Maybe my brain is frozen and I am faltering from digging exhaustion so forgive me. Sometimes you just stand there and say to yourself,
could all these people be wrong, am I nuts. Oh well, thanks for the kick in the shorts I needed that :)
We generally believe it refers to a water tower where the water is stored high in the air.
No, technically both poles are but a single point and thus the same size, and both quite frozen.
I think maybe I need to get dressed again.
Howdy, what are your thoughts on this "two frozen *places* of equal size?
For the life of me I just can't see anything but the hockey rinks, unless ittiz two softball fields!
Al, when you think you'll bee bock??? How far are you from Conway???
Al, ittiz almost 4:30; you may as well wait for daylite!
I'm in Como Park, but if my pole idea is right, I think I may leave right now. It takes 20 minutes or so for me to get there.
:)okay so given the whole water issue connected with all the other clues"why Conway"? From what I can tell it doesn't look like must is left to look through/for.
Maybe wrong location??!
whatcha thinkin allison?
By morning people will have their papers, realize the mistake, and then there will be more competition.
green it is truly one for the books. When you stand at conway in the middle of all those baseball fields and hockey rinks alot of things add up. But planes of the same
size just don't. I can't believe the clue writer would not notice that the hockey and skating rinks are all different sizes. Maybe as usual I am missing something. This is
a tough year isn't it.
Two frozen places of equal size = North Pole, South Pole. Could it be buried by a pole and someone missed it or just didn't dig thoroughly enough? Are the flagpole
and untility poles the only poles out there?
Al, you are crazy...
But... Check the TALL METAL light standards - there's at least one, by the southern most hockey rink... Ittiz been dug around, but you mite find a second and then
maybee ittiz in between them????
I think our quarry izz in a CHUNK!
And is the prey quarry spelled the same way????
Oh yea, I forgot about those. There's also the light that shines on the addres of the rec center.
Never mind. Forget that. The "Mining" part o'3M. Sorry.
Yes they are spelled the same, but time is wasting. This could be my best shot at the prize.
Al, just Chzec all Poles! ROFLOLPMP!!!
Get on here when you get bock!!!
GOOD LUCK!!!
(And look at the Joe! I got w/o even trying!!! Hehehehehe!!!)
Also, it could be a double meaning about a line of trees (utility poles) point towrds a valuable sign (True Value Sign). Gotta go though. Over and out.
I'd join you my friend, but I'm way too tired to bee getting behind the wheel of a car w/o some Zzzzzz's...
May the gods go with you - and BRING IT HOME FOR THE COOLER CREW!!! Coolerheads prevail, don'tcha know!
So. Who's left?
Doc? Howdy? Man? Or did you three fly out your doors, too???
Seems to me that everthing out there is frozen. Anything two things of equal planes could be anything the same size. Parking lots, baseball diamonds, ect. But doesn't
frozen ice seem to make more sense?
Seems everyone is hitting the sack. Me too. Talk to ya all in the morning. I wish all of you the best of luck and no sore backs chopping at all that frozen Ice.

seems alot of the remaining harcorers are focusing still on the tennis courts and the skating rinks a few straglers out and about in there own secret thoughts i checked
here and there but im tired of digging and walked around fer awhjile watching those eager beavers shovel away ....
Still here, Evil...
Was sending missives off to work to say, yet again, that I'd not bee there!!!
Has anyone noticed that 9 and 5 equal 45? There are 45 posts on the park. Could it be a 4 foot tall post.
looks like the crew went to work(or sleep) hehehehehe
number of players on tennis courts??? Maybe
JT, you got an xact idea on *which* post???? Or do they lead to/line up w/something????
Ace, still here... Tho not for long... Fatigue izz starting to get the best o'me...

well i went out for an hour or so..about 5:00 people were starting to build up then bet its in a chunk of snow somebody tossed...:)
Anybody here? I just got home.
Green, I don't know. Posts do point to the True Value sign? Maybe the four is the number of letters in post, leading you to the posts.
That has been known to happen
