I promote my website for two reasons. One, people kept getting mad at me for telling everyone where the Medallion was the last two years so I use the club to discuss my theories mostly. That way people can't complain quite as much about all the lurkers stealing ideas. And two, if I can get more people in my club, there will be more people to participate in future hunts like the one I did last year.
I wasn't trying to insinuate anything with the promotion comment, just mentioning a similarity that fit with the running joke! It seems you boys are a bit sensitive today.
OK, so I've retracted the hole in your theory allison, BUT if your theory is right then in clue five they have told us almost outright which park it is hidden in and WHAT it is hidden in. I just don't think the clue is being that specific in regards to location. The right interpretation of this clue should narrow us down to a few parks or possibilities.
I think I'll go for a walk out-side, the summer is calling my name. Everbodys smilin, Sunshine da ay, everybodys laughin, sunshine day, everybody should be, so happy togeee ether. If anyone can tell me what tv show that song is from lunch is on me!
Hey Allison, did you make it out to Valley last night, I don't feel like slogging through all of these posts, We drove by briefly but were too drained to dig last night, I like how all the clues fit, I was really sold on Highland and like every year in the past I had got all the clues to fit there as well, but I think you are on to something with Valley. See ya out there tonight???
Anyways: Just a look into the "very fine fettle". Are there any parks near a metal recycling or metal pouring company or something like that? Fettle also has another meaning when associated with metallurgy and it is a very fine sand or ore used to line a furnace before pouring molten metal into it. Just a thought. Anyone?
Well, look at who originally played those people in the original oz. Jack Harry played the tin man and Bert Lahr played the lion. Look for those names or something close to that in or arounf the park. Or, it could be the entire superman theme, saying that superman is not real. So, find someone who instead of being a fictional hero isa real hero. Mettle=courage, so we are looking for a man of courage. I thought Nelson Mandela, b/c of the book that was wrote about him "Man of courage". A little side note, but did you know where the creator of the wizard of oz came up with oz? He was looking through his file cabinet, and noticed the folders A-N and O-Z, thus the name OZ. Funny huh?
There can't be an argument on whether a Rec center is a park. Conway is a rec center as well, and the rules state St. Paul public property so nobody said it has to be a park. I say you can overanalyze the first few and they haven't led us there yet. Tonight will tell-the dual/link thing can fit many parks/areas. Rest up, this weekend will get hot : )
Frostbite, I don't think they will ever have it at Mounds again. It's to risky with the idiots out there. My brother insists it's at Cherokee every year! Last year, we were standing on it the eve it was found. Dang!
Okay, for anyone who think it's Valley you should go there and find out if you still feel the same. I was there last night. All it is Franklin's playground, like where the kids have recess. All the snow around there has been trampled by little feet. I don't really think the school would like hoards of people digging while the kids are out there playing (they might get hit with a shovel). My suggestion is to go out and look at the parks, also really study hard the streets by the parks, there is "a man of mettle" that no one has posted up here, and his name runs straight into the park.
What about somewhere along River Road? The running path does a loop/circle around the East & West bank of the river. The West side would be Minneapolis - so that's out, but the East side is the far most east side of St. Paul.
Point taken AW/DD
self-destruction might be the answer
Ok, I am not Dave Allison.
As far as promoting website, why not?! I'm sure if you had a website, you would promote it too? right? or is that the sanity in me speaking?

At least the sanity didn't tell you to go to Mounds...
Anyway, I have a meeting I need to head off to so I should be going. Will be back sometime after lunch.
Allison, I think I misunderstood your theory. I retract my statement about a hole in it.
WHo here thinks tha Fight Club is a great movie? raise your hands now! Lets see 1... 2... 3...

Ok, talk with y'all later....Happy noodling!
would you tell me how to get to the next messages
I think I'll go for a walk out-side, the summer is calling my name. Everbodys smilin, Sunshine da ay, everybodys laughin, sunshine day, everybody should be, so happy togeee ether. If anyone can tell me what tv show that song is from lunch is on me!
The Partridge Family theme?
Wrong
not Sesame Street

is it a theme song or just a song that's been on the show?
It's a song that was performed by the brady kids, it is at least on the brady album.
Does anyone think that clue 5 refers to Frosty the Snowman? Also, what is the number to call to see if the medallion has been found?
The Shoveler, you are correct!
It's a catchy tune. It was performed by the "Silver Platters"...one of my favorite episodes.
shoot! the filter on our browsers at work won't let me go out to Allison's site! I want to read the Valley theory
Does anyone know the number?
not off hand. I'm surprised it's not published on the PP website
BRADY BUNCH - trying to win money to buy their parents the silver platter for their anniv.
suebee..me too...i hit the filter trying to see AW site...damage!
I can get onto the AW website - what was it you were looking for? (You're not missing anything right now - there isn't anyone logged on.)
Actor's who played Superman:
Other Options:
Andrew Carnegie - the king of steel
Thanks Fats.
I am still entertaining Como.
Like I said at 4am, ever think of the Wizard of Oz? Man of steel = tin man, man of mettle = cowardly lion. East/West = Wicked Witch
I see what you are saying Derick, but how does that fit with a park?
So where would the wizard of oz lead us? Back home? lol
Who is here?
Anyways: Just a look into the "very fine fettle". Are there any parks near a metal recycling or metal pouring company or something like that? Fettle also has another meaning when associated with metallurgy and it is a very fine sand or ore used to line a furnace before pouring molten metal into it. Just a thought. Anyone?
Anyone know where I can get other years clues and what they ment?
Anyone think the "man of steel" could mean it's by a comic book store? Just a thought.
Didn't 3M used to be Minnesota Mining?
Well, look at who originally played those people in the original oz. Jack Harry played the tin man and Bert Lahr played the lion.

I'm here. The whole thing with the furnace sounds a little too technical.
Nensea:
If this is true back to Newell or possibly Mounds? Even though everyone thinks I'm crazy with going to Mounds.

w: I have all of that at my site. www.medallionhunt.8k.com
Just another thought.... "leaves" - composting place nearby?
Clark Kent was the man of steel was the real man, Lewis and CLARK were men of mettle
Frostbite, I don't think they will ever have it at Mounds again. It's to risky with the idiots out there. My brother insists it's at Cherokee every year! Last year, we were standing on it the eve it was found. Dang!
Nensea...This is true...

Here's a non-park theory -
What about somewhere along River Road? The running path does a loop/circle around the East & West bank of the river. The West side would be Minneapolis - so that's out, but the East side is the far most east side of St. Paul.
