A non-park place would make sense - it's more difficult, plus the first year that it was a medallion and not a treasure chest it was in a non-park place (come full circle being an anniversary year and all)? Too much of a stretch?
this is the 50th year and all, and the first clue says "or you wont find the secret item" notice the word "secret" what if its not a medallion nor a treasure chest, what if its a new thing.
That's always been a debate. Actually, technically, most parks have closing hours even though they don't physically close. The only ones that put up impediments I've heard of are Phalen and Hidden Falls. It hasn't been in Phalen since 83 and we don't know if that's why or if its just a coincidence. So its really hard to say how much of a factor that is.
Would "circular thinking" relate along with "east and west" relate to the side of the city the medallion is on? In 99 the medallion was on the city's east side, then in 00 it was on the west side. Thus, could it be back on the east side, at Eastview Rec Center?
I'm just thinking...if no one but a few people at the PP know where the medallion is then all the parks would be running as normal. The park police wouldn't know to keep the gates open.
No I don't think it is a stretch - I think it is hidden in the same thing or in the same place. Here another - Prosperity Rec Ctr is near City Cemetary "our 'Beloved' St. Paul". Do not annoy statues - the cemetary headstones. It has horshoe pits an bowling lanes, tennis practice (on your toes), steer clear "Clear Ave" of private ground.
Is Harriet Island celebrating an anniversery this year since the rennovation? The xcell energy center and new science museum are on other side from Harriet. I am just throwing some things out to get feed back of what you all think. Some of my co-workers are giving me feedback today. I am just sharing them.
Palace is even close to the Pleasant Ice Arena
Allison, would the pp hide the thing in a park that has closing hours?
wolffpac- I think they already have, but i'm never sure
Doesn't every park technically close at dusk or 10pm, or am I wrong?
thanks Ally, i appreciate it
Yes, it is close to Pleasant arena, and thats even closer to Linwood, which I believe is split east and west by 35E
I believe in 1993 it was found in Hidden Falls but according to St. Paul Parks part of the park closes at 9 and the other at 10.

So the Park closes? big deal? its not gonna stop us! lol
Daughter was at Hidden Falls last night and a park policeman was there at 9:15, apparently getting ready to close the gates.
With the whole dual thinking thinking nightmare my thought was "think king" or Palace. I find myself now into Hidden.

Hidden Falls is dual parks, upper and lower.

Muldar, that's what I was thinking.

Does anyone remember back in 93 and if the thing was found in the day time?
I believe the Medallion has never been found at night.
Wolff - The Cooler Crew site says it was found at about 12:15am amidst hundreds of diggers.
There is a circular staircase at Harriet. The one (#1) is visible from Harriet. Isn't the park split east and west sides?
TY
ahhhhhhhh, 93, back then they mentioned the park on clue one. them were the days
wasnt that the year it was found at Cherokee?
no, hidden falls. cherokee was 92
the medallion has been found at night
The is also a circular street in Harriet, so duel could also mean dual - a circular street and a circular staircase/side of park
Well, I think I'm going to take off. See everyone later tonight probably.
I liked your "thin" "king" analogy
Is anybody else out there?
Prosperity will mean you dont have a shrinking bank account
yeah, if you take the first letters of clue 2 and put them in order they spell "FAT G" thats what the road at harriet island makes.
Tim_the_Hunter, if it's at Hidden Falls this year then that park is mentioned again in this year's 1st clue.
Hey all you hunters! Ok.... :) I am Michelle aka myonedestiny or Michelle's destiny...
Where is the MEDALLION???? I finally got on the website after having technical problems for 3 days! So..
Where is it?? Michelle
There does seem to be alot of references to banks.
prosperity is the opposite of depression
michelle- we are all pretty sure it is in Como at the frogpond. I think that is where everyone is right now
LOL
Why do people think it's at the frog pond in Como?
I think the Hunter was pulling someone's leg.
Michelle - as for now nobody knows - many different specualtions...
I dont think anybody thinks it is in the frog pond at como
EASTVIEW PLAYGROUND:
Just got home after checking out Hidden Falls, there were a few diggers, seems like a good fit to me ('course I didn't bother digging yet)

East and West last two years. Circularly, this year back to East.
AW - if you're still there, do you really think Iris is in the mix? I tried to make it work last year - only a few blocks off.
think about it, all the clues fit.
1. como is in st paul, and it is big enough to make this hunt longer
2. there are a few statues to 'not' destroy
3. circular- new carousel amond many other things.
4. a pond is a depression in the ground
note- there are other theories, but you'll hafta join allisons club to see em
A park in the east in SP? What better than Eastview? (It DOES lay out of "view")
