VOTES ARE STILL COMING IN.....
Cherokee has a commanding lead...Mounds has picked up another supporter, up to two...Beaver Lake is trailing badly.
It was in a Curad box last year, not likely to be in a band-aid box two years in a row. Look for a La Rosa Pasta box, or a bakery container (dough). selma and patty - 11:20pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2763 of 8457)

DWM, Christian, 2 kids, 35, 5-11, 190, ISO a thirtysomething woman who can say "I’m sorry", "I forgive you", and "you were right". An occasional "is there anything I can do for you" a definite plus. All these will be returned in abundance. I am an adventurous, passionate, impulsive, educated, artistic, successful, easygoing romantic, trying to have it all. Lifelong interests include figure skating (once beat Paul Wylie in competition …. ok, so it was 20 years ago), playing the french horn, dancing, big band jazz, travel. New interests: comedy (maybe you saw me onstage at ACME - did I say I was adventurous?), cooking, wine, classic movies, silk boxers. Attitude is everything. Looking for an intelligent, confident, easy going, athletic optimist with a nice smile and a sense of humor. Robert Adney - 11:22pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2776 of 8457)

Here's how to make $500 if you don't find the medallion:
Follow these steps, IF I FIND THE MEDALLION:
1) You must be willing to claim the full treasure reward.
2) I turn the medallion over to you; and in exchange for that,
3) You give me the full treasure reward except for $500 you keep out of it -- thus you got $500 for not having to find the medallion.
Deal?
If you agree, send E-Mail to me and I'll contact you if I find that little medallion. Black Widow - 11:57pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2868 of 8457)

"Rosebud" is a reference to a Sioux battle which occured in South Dakota in the late 1800's. I believe that Mounds Park is a Sioux burial ground.

Hey everybody, any more ideas on the double division clue? Seems you can make one up for just about every park. What? - 12:28am Feb 1, 1998 CST (#2905 of 8457)
I think the "race" clue is very, very important...any ideas? Beavis - 12:30am Feb 1, 1998 CST (#2906 of 8457)

Ok I blew it Im not very Talk page savy!
You all know who I am and I can't change that now.
SO!!!
Is there a sliding hill(or something similar) at Newell Park??
Also sometimes the 2nd or 3rd clue means what the Medallion is in.
So It's in something to do with "Rosebud"?
P.S. I wanted to be "APOLLO" but i screwed up and put my name in.

Dome and Mode, you can arrange them to be "dome" You can see smokestacks and the domes - capital and cathedral from Cherokee, and remember "Rosebud" refers to a sled in a novel as well. I'm still not convinced it is another park. Brutus and Kato - 12:37am Feb 1, 1998 CST (#2913 of 8457)

2. Can Awada's be seen from either indian mounds or cherokee park? Christopher Hughes - 12:43am Feb 1, 1998 CST (#2920 of 8457)
Do any of you other treasure hunters out there get the feeling that this clue writer is really messing with our minds? I'm going crazy. But I have to admit, it's sure a lot of fun goin' through the process of turnin' looney. Beavis - 12:43am Feb 1, 1998 CST (#2921 of 8457)

Beavis--
Your poetic license should be revoked! Try this:
When hydrogen U played oxygen tech
And the game had just begun,
Hydrogen racked up two fast points
While oxygen still had none.
Then oxygen scored a single goal
And thus it did remain:
Hydrogen 2, oxygen 1

Phalen is pretty well ruled out for this year. For future reference, it's pretty much ruled out for good. Phalen is part in St. Paul, part in Maplewood. Last time it was hid in Phalen the park got tore up bad. Maplewood officials were not happy. There was an agreement to never hide it there again. That's the story I heard, and I believe it's true since it's been 15 years since it was hid there. Robert Adney - 12:50am Feb 1, 1998 CST (#2931 of 8457)

I do think that you can make almost any clue fit any park. Some years I have been really ticked off at the official explanation. Given that I've developed an unnatural affinity for indian mounds as the site, I think double division could mean the divided mounds blvd and the adjacent divided bike/walking path. Or the borders of west st p and south st paul. Frankly, on this one I like the ramsey county/st paul border rationale for cherokee. But overall... Magnus - 01:09am Feb 1, 1998 CST (#2966 of 8457)
Well there are a *lot* of people at both places, but I just like watching crazy people freeze while digging around in the snow. Only in Minnesota! Robert Adney - 01:09am Feb 1, 1998 CST (#2967 of 8457)

My one complaint is that it has been way too warm! People are so much more desparate (and witty) when they're freezing. My rule is, the colder the weather, the more fun the hunt! Robert Adney - 01:13am Feb 1, 1998 CST (#2972 of 8457)

Hello, just got back from Mounds Park and we were next to a group of people that drove off showing the medallion from the window of their van. They were digging by the big oak tree north of the bathroom and 2 shelters with prymid shaped roofs. Could be true or not sure. But it sure looked like they were not joking. We'll just have to wait and see ! Magnus - 01:17am Feb 1, 1998 CST (#2977 of 8457)
