Clue #1 Congrats to the finder, to all a reminder 
To hunt hard from first to last clues 
Medallion I is history. Now a new mystery 
Begins -- strap on your hunting shoes 

To some its demented, for all unprecedented 
But hunters’ thirst must be quenched 
Tell sister and brother we’ve hidden another 
In a park where a body can be benched 

Our 2nd prize? Don’t laugh -- 10-thou cut in half 
So get out there even if it’s snowy 
And as a special bonus -- some might say an onus -- 
A meal with our own Clueless Joey 

Good hunting to you, let this be the first clue 
Think of a woodsy retreat 
It won’t be so hard if you channel the bard 
You’ll get warm and smell pretty sweet
Clue #2 If you\'re thinking big you\'re sure to dig 
Near flora with growing pain 
Winter or summer is never a bummer 
A menagerie of fun wild or tame
Clue #3 Success on the third clue will never do 
We had to stash a second 
Round you go if you seek to know 
Where swatters of orbs are beckoned
Clue #4: A walk in the park can be a lark 
If cell phones are left at home 
Heed the siren of your desirin\' 
And do not revolt against this poem
Clue #5 Over hill and dale hit the trail 
With a handy locating device 
Fulfill your wishes like loaves and fishes 
And put your victory on ice
Clue #6 A famous singer and a diamond dinger 
Might put you oh so close to the spot 
With the whites of your eyes you should look for the prize 
Within this convenient plot
Clue #7 Don\'t turn up your noses at the city of roses 
The home of the park that you seek 
It\'s just north of town so come on down 
Our hunt is not for the meek
Clue #8 Don\'t go mental just head for Central 
Lexington Avenue will show you the way 
Your spirits won\'t sag when you see the big flag 
Into the trees you want to stray

I have a gut feeling that its hidden out of St. Paul. Think about it, why would they hide it at COMO when lot of people were at Como- people were out snooping at the big parks, and a rec center is too small and risky- if they just drove out of St. Paul, think of all the parks they had, and time to walk around take notes on what they see.

base ball seams the most likely: 2nd 3rd base, round the bases, swaters of orbs..

My husband was an avid golfer. I mean I didn't see him all weekend from April until October. Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a little.

But he always talked about how well (or not) he hit the orb.

I've not heard it used in any other sport terminology. But that's just my experience. And I have a tennis player and several softball players in my family.

I think it's referring to a golf course.

Round you go if you seek to know

Where swatters of orbs are beckoned

If it does mean baseball or softball, that would make some sense I guess as they go round the bases and then they are beckoned to home plate.

Please tell me they didn't stick on home plate.

I'm taking the swatting at orbs to be a straight forward baseball idea.

"Success on the third clue Will never do"

This is clue three. Do we ignore it? Do we approach the information with caution?

Yes, swatting sounds like baseball. Swinging sounds like golf. So you're probably right.

broom ball too.

Though I think the baseball thing is certainly one good fit.

Tennis courts would beckon tennis players.
