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.
I would agree that it's too early to call a park or even eliminate one for that matter. But it's fun to feel productive while noodling. So I'm leaning toward anything that has to do with hills and dales at this point. =)
A small park is a possibility, but they would certainly have to keep people guessing as to which one. Since there wasn't any snow earlier in the year, I think they'll put it somewhere bigger where it's harder to pinpoint.
My concern with Marydale is that so much of that park is water...and with the thinner ice this year, it might have been ruled out for safety purposes - but only the hider knows for sure.
Allison, I would agree that the clues would have to be pretty vague to drag things out for a smaller park. And I'm guessing that the writer had no idea if there'd be snow or not when the clues were written. I think with a new clue writer, we are all going to be cursing as things get dragged out to the last days. In my estimation, these clues have been very vague to date and I think it will continue that way.
IF YOU ASK ME I SAY THEY ALL READY PINPOINTED THE STREETS PUTTING IT AT BATTLE CREEK PLUS YOU GOT THE SCHOOL AND THE BRAND NEW CROSS COUNTRY SKI AREA ALL LITE UP LOOKING GOOD BY THE WAY LOL
In case anybodies interested there is an interesting collection of articles from the pioneer press called 'visiting around St Paul Parks' by George Nason the former city park superintendent written in 1932. It has a history of most of the parks there old names, who donated them, etc. not as useful as I hope but fun reading. It is at the MN history center.
Actually I'm guessing a short hunt with a new cluewriter. I suspect they will underestimate us and give too much info. Plus the lack of snow will make hunting a lot faster unless they hid it somewhere really clever that no one would ever think to look.
Ian ...old dirty magazines ??? what was in it??
I was bantering about BC all day...a lot of the regs convinced me that probably not there...hmmmmm....
I still think it's to early this year for a park allready. they want to prolong the hunt with lack of snow.
There isn't much,if any, snow in the caves in BC
merriam park thoughts? too small?
what about marydale? ruled out yet?
Safety issue though in the caves?

Have they ever put the Medallion near a school? Seems like it wouldn't be a good idea.
