Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.
Terry
Hidden Falls has hills...but the park is mostly flat. Good idea!
Terry - I don't know about that because the clue says to trek up and down hills...they sure wouldn't want people doing that at mounds...if it was mounds, i think the clue would tell people not to trek the hills...
it was just a thought, randy, since harriet island was explicitly excluded from the rules. i guess the theory is that the clues will point to it and they don't want us digging on it.
Of course the rules also keep us out of Como Zoo so in theory, the clues could lead us back to Como Park and there needed to be explicit direction to stay out of the Zoo area.
Riv - When I was out scoping the capitol last week - I was tempted to look under, on top of, and into things, however, I was afraid I may find the medallion and ruin it for everyone - so I refrained and didn't look into things. Now that the clues are out though, it's free game, but I would HATE it if someone found it this early while out scoping.
The clue writer is just throwing us off, this hunt has to last, look at all the advertising, CUB. We'll all be scratching our heads, to'in and fro'in all over town.
ter, you're going to explicitly exclude it in the rules because you're going to point to someplace (or someplaces?) with similar characteristics. but you don't want to have hunters digging on h.i., and at the same time you don't want to be sufficiently explicit as to which park its actually in.
Steve - I know and I tend to agree...and I even understand the golf course thing. Why waste a clue to state that every year....but the zoo? Was there damage there last year?

Lots of good nooks and crannies down there.

there's still one more river park. maybe 2.
That's what I'm saying...it would be a waste of time.
To hill or not to hill..........that is the question.
I thinks that treking up and down the hills is the waste of time.
Ares..I'm gonna rule them out.
Prospect Park is all about a city lot size big...so I tend to rule that out just by virtue of it's small size.
Unless one of the clues mentions Bing.
Then I'd go to Crosby.
Guide interesting idea. Don't forget mississippi st & school by Arlington aekwright and arlington rec.
people who have been killed are buried at arlington cem...
Hi everyone--everyone has been busy thinkin'all night!?
Bing-o!
OK...I can't get sucked in to these park theories yet...too early. I'll see you all later. Hopefully we'll get some solid info with #3...Later!!
"have no fear" of death? Arlington?
actually, the other one would be battle creek but that's something of a stretch from the river.
Lots of stretching going on.
Time will tell if any of this stretching leads to anything constructive.
Where does the river come in???
Hunter and I took a walk at HF today and saw TMK scouting around.
Following my usual plan of paying attention to what the clues say...and don't say...
There's been no mention of trees, water, or picnics yet.
But there will be...just wait, TV.
I hate waiting! I liked things better when there were two clues every day.
Just a thought.......Wouldn't that be terrible if someone just out scouting actually found it :(
Whats the talk of a river park???? WHere oh where does the water come into play???? Am I just Blonde or what??
Banish that thought!
it was just a thought, randy, since harriet island was explicitly excluded from the rules. i guess the theory is that the clues will point to it and they don't want us digging on it.
Randy...I started this theory back at post 9501.
Of course the rules also keep us out of Como Zoo so in theory, the clues could lead us back to Como Park and there needed to be explicit direction to stay out of the Zoo area.

but the zoo's always been explicitly excluded, hasn't it terry?
Yes, but TV, the Zoo has never been a "qualified" place before whereas HI has.
It has...but why in the rules this year then?
Ares..we're on the same wave.
LAST WEEK...huh, starting real early, glad you didn't find it.
THG...I now see your logic...good spin....
Just a hunch, Rust...don't grab your shovel yet.
I have an idea!!
"You may knit your brows on this one"
Maybe this is implying that you can see the ONE that is on the top of the first trust center from the park
It'll be interesting if they include all those "do not tread" things in next year's rules.
The clue writer is just throwing us off, this hunt has to last, look at all the advertising, CUB. We'll all be scratching our heads, to'in and fro'in all over town.
ter, you're going to explicitly exclude it in the rules because you're going to point to someplace (or someplaces?) with similar characteristics. but you don't want to have hunters digging on h.i., and at the same time you don't want to be sufficiently explicit as to which park its actually in.
rush, you're not the first person here with that idea!
Dang - here I am, thinking I was all original.
Ter..Ares and I are speculating on the mindset of the clue-writer and anticipating that in the next few clues, the river will be mentioned.
I was just thinking that Rush and Ares are thinking alike
Hummmmmm.....You may knit your brows on this one, could it be a knitted face with biggg brows inside of an UNO box.........
Steve - I know and I tend to agree...and I even understand the golf course thing. Why waste a clue to state that every year....but the zoo? Was there damage there last year?
and 10 bucks, steve, says that if we hadn't been suggesting h.i. in here, it wouldn't have been mentioned in the rules on the last minute!
Can someone look up the dictionary meaning of Knit & Brows? Well, we know lemans terms but there may be something in it.
