Hey, do we have to have the clues from the paper from the FIRST day each clue was published (so that you to clip out the clues each day)? Or can we cut out the first six clues from the same paper which lists the seventh clue for the first time? I guess I'm worried cause I don't have PP from the past three days . . .

Yes, but what's a little sunburn when you're hunting for the Medallion?

Medstallion,the rules are in the P.P. back page........good question........says they'll accept printed out and hand written clues for the drawing after but only published clues for the winner.

I'm thinking its at a rec center and Linwood is as good as any, though Langford has been used before and does have horseshoe pits. Might check them both out today.

The other thing about Palace is that there is a mural of a rainbow and what better "place for gold" (as in clue #1) is there than the end of a rainbow?!! (Thanks to Leah for that one)

Personally I've ruled out Como, Cherokee, Highland, Battle Creek, Harriet Island, Conway, Newell, and Rice, and likely Mears, Kellogg, Mounds, and Phalen as well, though I doubt everyone would agree with my reasoning.

Just a thought I thought I'd be so kind to share:

circular thinking could possibly refer to a round building in which people did lots of thinking, ie. library at a rec center or the capitol building. . .

Yeah but you're sneaky Allison.

And stop confusin me with that Dave stuff.....you'll always be Allison to me!

You know Scribe, it seems some people had that attitude towards Newell last year.

As for my theory of the day, I have it posted in my club. :)

highland has a horseshoe pit also and a double shelter also a disc golf course/fire rings

Yes Scribe, I have been changing my mind every five minutes. I highly doubt Newell, but it makes sense so far.

hmmmmm . . . with hillcrest so close to highland, if the medallion is there then it would be really close to where it was first hidden . . .

mr med hunter, to answer your question from yesterday, yes I was pretty sure it was Newell after the 4th clue last year. Unfortunately, I thought it was too easy and started heading off on other tangents.
