It's still ambiguous. What is "clear"? And as far as nearby, is it a place within the park, or a place outside the park which is nearby and offers the clear view? We still don't know for sure it's in St. Paul. Watch, tonight they'll say what it's in and offer nothing better as far as location.
I always check my own backyard first....after all it is in St.Paul proper and has a view of the Cathedral and the Capitol.....not to mention other things if the neighbors don't close their curtains.:)
I wonder if they used the word "puck" because it's hidden in a bathroom as a urinal puck? That would make it easier for Jake to target it for medallionation.
well i gotta get going to tune into the aura of the capitol...actually i'm going to the gym so i can build up my digging muscles for all the invisible snow i'm gonna have to dig!
I'm not terribly up on my medallion hunting history, but has the medallion ever been hidden on a parkway? I just ask that because my house is along a st paul parkway, and there's all sorts of Park and Rec signs up around it, seems like it'd be a pretty inconspicous spot to hide something, seeing as alot of people know parks, but not parkways. Then again, maybe they can't hide it in parkways because of some rule? As far as my knowledge goes, the medallion is hidden on public land in ramsey county, excluding como zoo and a few other spots.
I believe it has been on parkways before, or something similar anyway, though it's been quite a while since that happened. But it could happen and might not be a bad place to put it to make the hunt go longer.
Battle Creek-- you can see the Capitol from the lower parts entrance. Indian Mounds-- duh like rr said! Harriet-- just the gold tip at the end almost in lilydale Cherokee-- yep  little parks kellogg--yep (through the skyway,not a clear view) prospect--yep mlk--yep central--yep dunning--yep
you cant see the dome from--- merriam--"unless you climb A tree"-rr right! boyd--nope not me prospect Heights--nope highland--nope
But I am thinking that clue means more than just be able to see the "Capitol Dome"! Thats way to easy. Takes away too many parks in the 2nd clue.If you wanted to use a "DOME" that you can see from a hell of alot more parks why not use the Cathedral! This is why I am thinking 1 of the 2: 1--the coin is "taped" to the Capitol on the front page of the papaer!(maybe just the Capitol cut out its about the size of the coin and maybe in clay/grass/weeds/ect...) 2-- you can see the Capitol from a park , but you can also see from that same park the PARK that the medallion is in.(either that park or another in clear view)

Como Zoo is out. I think the rest of Como (sans golf course) is still in.
Snow Mommy, they turn off every night at 11. I have a view of the skyline from my deck, hmmmmmm maybe its around here somewhere
leelabell is right. Only the zoo and golf course are out. Otherwise the rest of the park is in, though not terribly likely.
"they turn off every night at 11." ...the same time the clue is released. COINCIDENCE?
not yet, but I did see a big Pioneer Press van parked in front of my house all night, maybe I should go check again...
That might look a little too suspicious
I always check my own backyard first....after all it is in St.Paul proper and has a view of the Cathedral and the Capitol.....not to mention other things if the neighbors don't close their curtains.:)
Uh oh, that big green thing with the pink sunglasses is back.
Wascawaly Wabbit!
hello!
You're scary! I almost medallionated all over myself!
Hello Ms.G! Allison.....LOLLOLOL!.....LOLOLOL!
just checkin in to see what the big noodles are...sounds like everyone's just lookin in their backyard for now :)
MMP= Medallionated My Pants
Ms.G, did you check YOUR backyard? If you didn't I'll clear it tonight after the next clue.
Well now that just sounds kinky.
Wight up Wabbit Allie......I am so witty, I just can't stand it...
Nah, can't see the capitol from my backyard
Well, can you hear the Capitol from your backyard? Can you smell it?
Of course you're the one that seems to be baking with your asparagus-dill dough there. (hehe)
If the capitol smells, I think we all have something to worry about
Can you sense its aura?
That would be Valley Rec Center
Well, I'm not thinking it's that close to the Capitol, Snow Mommy, because the clue mentions seeing the dome, not the whole thing
That'd be Valley Rec. and Allison don't be jealous just cuz I gots my very own asparagus.....:)
Allison knows Valley Rec very well.
We could all just stand on the Capitol grounds and shout, Ok, we're here, give us the medallion now!
Yes, it's aura, tell me how it feeeels....can you feel the Capitol from there...ah yes...
A woman with her own asparagus has always made me nervous. I may have to medallionate again.
MMP Allison!
I wonder if they used the word "puck" because it's hidden in a bathroom as a urinal puck? That would make it easier for Jake to target it for medallionation.
anybody goin down to the PP tonight?
it's 11 at the PP
Toilet duck, Quack!
It's at 11pm, though if it's anything like last year, you can probably expect it to get later and later each night.
I should be there tonight and I'll be collecting for anyone who wants to get into the guess the park pool (there's another thread for that).
well i gotta get going to tune into the aura of the capitol...actually i'm going to the gym so i can build up my digging muscles for all the invisible snow i'm gonna have to dig!
Then he also told me they cut down a bunch of trees so there's many wood a brush piles up there.
Bonfire!
It smells bad when I medallionate.

Gee DD, I wouldn't have picked you as the type to eat asparagus.
I believe it has been on parkways before, or something similar anyway, though it's been quite a while since that happened. But it could happen and might not be a bad place to put it to make the hunt go longer.
Wow randy we almost took the same path!
Battle Creek-- you can see the Capitol from the lower parts entrance.
Indian Mounds-- duh like rr said!
Harriet-- just the gold tip at the end almost in lilydale
Cherokee-- yep
 little parks
kellogg--yep (through the skyway,not a clear view)
prospect--yep
mlk--yep
central--yep
dunning--yep
you cant see the dome from---
merriam--"unless you climb A tree"-rr right!
boyd--nope not me
prospect Heights--nope
highland--nope
But I am thinking that clue means more than just be able to see the "Capitol Dome"! Thats way to easy. Takes away too many parks in the 2nd clue.If you wanted to use a "DOME" that you can see from a hell of alot more parks why not use the Cathedral!
This is why I am thinking 1 of the 2:
1--the coin is "taped" to the Capitol on the front page of the papaer!(maybe just the Capitol cut out its about the size of the coin and maybe in clay/grass/weeds/ect...)
2-- you can see the Capitol from a park , but you can also see from that same park the PARK that the medallion is in.(either that park or another in clear view)
sounds like something they'd do for sure because of the snow coverage...
I don't know what I'll do tomorrow when I'm working and not able to slog now and again during the day.
I checked out Highland. Only thing visible was the top of the Cathedral dome.
Lewis Park also has no visible domes.
Lyton Park is a possible - if you walk just down the street a bit the dome comes into view.
Cass Gilbert is obviously in the running.
Driving around trying to keep your eyes towards the dome is not conducive to defensive driving - more like offensive to others.
I decided it was time to come home and regroup.
LMFAO - now i know what i have been missing ....the old cooler crew inuendo!!
Where is the fruit and the meat thread ??? is this now offiically the veggie thread??
rrr
Its titled "Alli-Sins".

This is so exciting. I hope it makes it to the weekend.. unlike last year. (what a disapointment!)
