Golden my man, how's it goin. I remember the conversation about Newell last night. They all lead there. Are you goin there tonight?
Dave and Birdie - I was at Newell this afternoon - it has everything there - and it's a bigger park than I thought. I didn't have time to get out of the car though and check out the yellow numbers on the doors. If you're diggin tonight - it's gotta be NP. What did you see when you were out there Dave?
Its not an officially sledding hill at Newell. But many sleds had been there. It was worn and icy. In the trees and slightly dangerous. Just like when I was a kid.
There was absolutely no one there tonite, although the bases (always the first to get dug and the last place to be hidden) were all dug up on the softball field. If tonites doesn't turn me around I'll probably go dig it in the late morning tomorrow.

Matt, I'm leaning towards Highland and I won't be switching yet, anyway. After last year...fast cars, crazy people...I think it's not such a bad idea to hide it next to a police station with the amount as it is. That's my thinking, but I don't have any clues to back it, except the "caught." Number 4 works for me.
I actually attribute the sledding to the infamous hills over at Como on the fields and the popular outdoor attraction to the Saints and midway stadium, but telling us not to get too close to either, because we would be barking up the wrong tree. Thats what makes logical sense to me, without having to stretch anything too far.
all the streets of Hp are as follows: Hamline, Bohland Place, Montreal, Edgecumbe Rd, Snelling, 7th st W., Antonio Drive, Homer St., Beechwood Place.....9
im hoping its at highland, last year we were involved in a hit and run, some one hit our parked car, caused damage and left. police could be an added bonus!!!
Wow. I guess it's easier to find the medallion when you read the clue seven thousand times.
iconoclast \I*con"o*clast\, n. [Gr. e'ikw`n image + ? to break: cf. F. iconoclaste.] 1. A breaker or destroyer of images or idols; a determined enemy of idol worship.
2. One who exposes or destroys impositions or shams; one who attacks cherished beliefs; a radical.
i*con*o*clast, i*kon'o*klast, n, [Gr. eikon and klastes, a breaker, < klao, to break.] One who attacks cherished beliefs or institutions; one who destroys or opposes the veneration of religious images or icons.
Hmmm... One would have to be a real iconoclast to think that they would hide it at Como again. After all, it was there two years ago (in the past) and they wouldn't put it there again (the new). That would be outrageous! (iconoclast)

Is there a good sledding hill at Newell?
Are you attributing the "popular outdoor attraction" to Midway Stadium, as well?
It was last in Newell Park in 1984...
Why has Phalen been counted out by many of you?

The medallion could be in an idol.

Some of Battle Creek is in maplewood the rest is in St Paul
