I just can't bring myself to believe the blatant reference to what it's hidden in. I mean they might as well have said "The medallion is hidden in a Dove ice cream box." With as PO'd as the clue-writer is this year, they wouldn't lob us a grafefruit like that this early.
looked up the special olympics website for minnesota but they don't use the linking circle moniker. So I think the malchow or brooks association is better. Wasn't there something though about the curling club that's in st paul by western and selby on the news during the olympics? Just talking aloud.
The clues always fit some pattern of general area (St.Paul or Ramsey County) something very near the site (usually in the park or in view) something far away but visible, what it's in (usually within the first few clues and it continues to mention nearby and visible things until the end when it pinpoints the spot.
This is not early for a direct mention of what it's in.
I'm not as sold on the Kent thing as I am on a man of mettle.
A man of steel cannot be real But another has plenty of mettle Look for his name around "(our deal)" -- being the medallion and it'll be boxed
And you'll be in very fine fettle To escape the herd find a peaceful bird Somewhere deep in the snow Our treasure is boxed inside the word And that's what you need to know
I think what most of this clue means is that it's in a box with the name of sometype of metal.
Martin Luther King park is between Mackubin and Kent just south of the I-94 freeway. We've scouted around there for some hunt in the past. It would be a nice park to dig in...and the clues fit I believe but would have to do a look-see.
The mettle and a "superhero" has to refer to something other than a street, unless is it Kent or MLK. No other streets fit according to the maps I am referencing. An I missing something?
I am not pointing in any direction yet. That was the first thought that came to mind was McKNIGHT on the EAST side of St paul. PROPER PLACE reminds me of the big ice castle Thats all. :)
EX Stud, Sounds good, but I don't know how they say it, but I can find out tomorrow. Also there is the RR bridge right there, could it be the "linking" there talking about???
more like slap me across the face (with a clue-by-four) and call me lost, wing. allison, you desperately need to start working for mom. at least that way we've all got an in on the clues :)
I'm new here and sorta new to the hunt itself. I'm wondering if deal could be Dale which is also close to Marydale?? From my memory that park is real small.
Straight from the PP website...

At Marydale, there's a jungle gym, swings and a bench swing
Ok, I'm going to bed. Can't stay up late every night. I have the explanation on my club site if anyone is interested. Viva la Valley!

PEACEFUL BIRD, it has to be a brand name of some sort
ah yes good ol dove
just wondering, anyone, is leob lake pronounced lobe?
on the west side of loeb lake is the playground

a great big (blows raspberries) to all the non-believers and sheep who didn't trust the scribe.
The medallion was at Marydale in '72
It's either way too obvious or way too deep...or both!
Didn't #1 say they were going to make it harder???
EX Stud, Why, what are you noodling???
Marydale is SMALL... It used to be a dump. Doubt the location... Then again...
Last year, they had ace in clue # 2, which referred to a box of Ace playing cards.
electric duane- maybe being so blatant helps the writer, a bunch of jokers will go throw dove wrappers everywhere.
lobe is a circle
tim, that's a great idea :)
Dove box for sure.. man of steel makes me think of a knight. Maybe Mcknight??? East st Paul???

I'm not as sold on the Kent thing as I am on a man of mettle.
it says look for the name around the deal, its got to be referring to streets. Anyone know of a clark or kent street around any parks?
Anyone up for an Ice Cream Social???
Yeah tim that was my thought.
I am going to reasearch the 1972 clues when the medallion was at Marydale.
brew, are you thinking battle creek or just trying to make it fit? serious question, don't take offence at it.

Henry Ford Did not make steel and he had plenty of mettle...
does anyone know if this leob lake at maryland is pronounced as lobe?
alright duane, I missed it. lets have the ice cream social at the frog pond!!!!
Circular Reference...All the wheels on the new Ford Trucks in downtown Highland Park...

Eastview park or rec is very close to Harding high school Harding Knights it says look around???

I just can't bite on the superman noodle. If I'm wrong I'll be the 1st one at the frog pond, but I'm not buying today.
well, im slap me on the butt, and call me lost
yes it is lobe lake
Lelej... mettle = metal = armor = KNIGHT?
I am not pointing in any direction yet. That was the first thought that came to mind was McKNIGHT on the EAST side of St paul. PROPER PLACE reminds me of the big ice castle Thats all. :)
martin luther king rec. center is on kent! I found my flashlight and looked in my papers...is this something? anyone know this place?

Marydale Park RULES
The clues in '72 were much different then these clues
That was just my thaught
our deal = our dale, or a duel, our lead...
Loeb lake is the lake at Marydale Park and is pronounced Lobe.
We've done some noodling and walking through Martin Luther King Park several years ago. I think it's a real possibility.
thanks ya dig a lobe is a circular reference so maybe loeb lake at marydale works
mettle- a man of courage or good disposition
well, since i'm so stumped, i'm gonna hit the sheets. scmd's.
I'm new here and sorta new to the hunt itself. I'm wondering if deal could be Dale which is also close to Marydale?? From my memory that park is real small.
