Boreas isn't North. go to www.winter-carnival.com/boreas.html, it explains that Titan is the North wind. Boreas is king of all domains(the whole city.) So I think that when you are at the park and you look downtown, the towers come into view.
What about town square park. Can any of this 'stuff' be seen from inside this 'indoor' park, through windows, etc? IE. can you see metro state tower building or bank building.
What about harriett Island?? it is south of St paul so you have to look to the north? Or any park north of St Paul.. and looking in the general direction of St. Paul to see the towers....who says you have to see down town just look in that direction?? Just noodling.....
You guys are all totally off. I already know the park as well as the general vicinity of where the medallion is located. Too bad you guys are searching too much in the hidden meaning of the clues when the obvious shows right where the medallion is. Happy Hunting! I'll be sure to let you know as soon as I win the $10,000.
The medallion has been taped to a tree before and isn't always on the ground. It just usually is, and if its not on the ground, it would be somewhere you didn't have to destroy anything to get at it.
As "King of the Winds," Boreas assigned to each of his brothers a permanent grant of great force and power. To Titan was assigned the blustery North Wind. To Euros was granted control of the irresponsible East Wind. To Zephyrus was given custody of the bountiful West Wind. To Notos was presented the balmy but unstable South Wind.
I am still stuck on the capitol grounds. A tower or two (or three or four or more) comes into view. It is downtown near the Wild, ceremonies, etc. It is the end of the TC marathon where people set their own pace. Anyone who finishes is an ace. I think there are statues (astute).
sweede hollow has 2 towers one to the west one to the east and the park is right in the middle of them Same with mounds park they also have 2 towers the light tower on top and another tower at mounds blvd and 94 agin the park is kind of the middle of both of those towers if you look from the top it would be a north westrenly direction

The distance spanned by a step or stride, especially: The modern version of the Roman pace, measuring five English feet. Also called geometric pace. Thirty inches at quick marching time or 36 at double time. Five Roman feet or 58.1 English inches, measured from the point at which the heel of one foot is raised to the point at which it is set down again after an intervening step by the other foot.

The medallion was hid at the capitol mall in 1989 and is listed on the Ramsey county park list as a park.
Hey VikingsFan - why don't you think it is downtown? Where do you think it is? I may change my mind with tonights clue but I am curious what you are thinking.
An area of land set aside for public use, as: A piece of land with few or no buildings within or adjoining a town, maintained for recreational and ornamental purposes. A landscaped city square. A large tract of rural land kept in its natural state and usually reserved for the enjoyment and recreation of visitors. A tract of land attached to a country house, especially when including extensive gardens, woods, pastures, or a game preserve. Sports. A stadium or an enclosed playing field: a baseball park.
An area where military vehicles or artillery are stored and serviced. The materiel kept in such an area. An area in or near a town designed and usually zoned for a certain purpose: a commercial park.
the clues point too much towards highland park (towers, golf course, ace and race). There is no way it is downtown. I'm thinking this has to be a pretty significant tower (observation tower at highland). No way is it downtown

problem with Highland: It's way, way too obvious. They could be tricking us with some reversal thought process, but Highland IS the first place everyone thinks of when they use towers as a clue. There is a rule against the medallion ever being hidden directly by the Highland towers, so I have my doubts that they would use them as the reference.
Clue No. 1: 1999 The time for fun has now begun In our hunt that's open to all But if you don't want to be outdone Look only on public ground in St. Paul
A park is the spot but a golf course is not So please don't disturb a fairway or green Follow this advice and you won't be caught Wasting your time at the wrong scene [States that the medallion is hidden in a public park in St. Paul but is not on a golf course.]
Clue No. 1: 2000 To cure Vikings depression try a new obsession By taking part in our hunt through the snow But if you hope it's a profitable profession To a park in St. Paul you must go
Don't be a rapscallion and seek the medallion In places of the improper sort You're certain to cause a rebellion If you go where golfers cavort [States that the medallion is hidden in a public park in St. Paul but is not on a golf course.]
Clue No. 2: 1999 Flying downhill can be quite a thrill And a popular outdoor attraction But your chances of winning are nil If you get too close to the action [Reveals that the medallion is not located near the sledding hill at the east end of Conway Park.]
Clue No. 2: 2000 Set your own pace and it could make you an ace If your grasp of these clues is astute So get yourself out and into the chase And you just might win all the loot [Reveals that the medallion is located a walking path. Ace is equal to "an expert" in finding the treasure]
Clue No. 3: 1999 Numbers keep score and adorn the front door Now do your best to figure these out A nine and a five and somewhere a four Get them right and you'll shout [The numbers 9, 5 and 4 can be found in a house address (459 Ruth St.) used in a later clue to pinpoint the medallion's location.]
Clue No. 3: 1999 A tower or two should come into view As you're making your careful inspection But this hint will only be of help to you If you look in King Boreas' direction [Tower - buildings, water tower, etc; Come into view - bottom of hill walking up; King Boreas direction - could mean North, could mean looking towards St. Paul]
I'll take a Big ol BRONCO JANE for findin the ol treasure!
While yall DIG, I'll be keepin my eyes peeled for that thing to pop out of a big ol chunk of snow!
I learned this tecnique from Aaron Neirdorf who happily stumbled upon it last year!
The key is your eyes! Shovels and picks are only good for chasing FRANKENSTEIN out of the park late at night!
Duane--I agree with you. I like your thinking.
When they say "tower" they WANT everyone to think watertower. Way too obvious. I think it's a building or something like that.
how about not Tower as in building but tower as in a company or person who tows cars/impound lot.
Thanks, SD
Feel free to pass along my thinking to anyone who is feeling weak.
tug boats exactly what I was thinking, how bout the Paddleass?
Boreas isn't North. go to www.winter-carnival.com/boreas.html, it explains that Titan is the North wind. Boreas is king of all domains(the whole city.) So I think that when you are at the park and you look downtown, the towers come into view.
Boreas in mythology is considered the "North Wind".
Well then??? Do we use mythology definition, or carnival definition???
good question Regalman.
Get this....just an idea...
Maybe this clue is telling us the medallion is not on the ground this year, but up in the air (tree or something)
If you look in Boreas's direction (North) towers will come into view.
Maybe it's downtown because if you look up, all you see is towers.
The medallion is never hid in a tree, it is always on the ground. As far as it being downtown, I agree with what you say, just hope it isn't.
Well, I'm going to get going. I'll be back around six or so.
What about town square park. Can any of this 'stuff' be seen from inside this 'indoor' park, through windows, etc? IE. can you see metro state tower building or bank building.
HI PAT YOU GOING OUT TONIGHT
What about harriett Island?? it is south of St paul so you have to look to the north? Or any park north of St Paul.. and looking in the general direction of St. Paul to see the towers....who says you have to see down town just look in that direction?? Just noodling.....

How many times do I have to tell yall that is has to be on or adjacent to a golf course!!!
With the dollar amount they will never make the same mistake as last year by hiding it in a small park!!!
Yall are making total fools out of yourselves by reading too much into the clues!!!
Get a clue and lighten up!!!!
I THINK THE COIN IS AT PHALEN IN A DECK OF CARDS
ONE EYED WIILIE LIVES ON

What is "King of the Winds"?
I DONT THINK THEY WOULD PUT IT UP IN SOMETHING OR TO CLOSE TO ANYTHING ON THE GROUND
WHO CAN NAME THE SEVEN HILLS ?OF ST PAUL
I am still stuck on the capitol grounds. A tower or two (or three or four or more) comes into view. It is downtown near the Wild, ceremonies, etc. It is the end of the TC marathon where people set their own pace. Anyone who finishes is an ace. I think there are statues (astute).
Anyone with me on this?

astute, from Latin astus, skill, craft (practiced in a town), from Greek astu, town (< “place where one dwellsâ€Â).
sorry, but whoever thinks it is downtown is way off.

the capitol grounds aren't a 'park in st. paul'. Nice brainstorming tho.

shooter--Do you have to analyze every word or what?

There is a rule against the medallion ever being hidden directly by the Highland towers, so I have my doubts that they would use them as the reference.

Why don't you guys take a break, have some dinner, and relax for a few days!
Yall sound like you're coming unraveled before the thing barely gets started!
Yall need to pay equal attention to developing peace of mind and thus taking care of the internal aspect of our being.
StepDog,
It is valuable to be a wordsmith.....
