Yes,it would be on the front page if it were found. Beavis - 12:02pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3283 of 8457)
No one has found it, and besides why would they wait until now to hint at what its hidden in Madallion man - 12:06pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3284 of 8457)
If CP was all messed up it isn't there, it still could be at highland and mounds. E.R. - 12:07pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3285 of 8457)
I got to get out on the hunt today. E.R. - 12:08pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3286 of 8457)
Not Highland,Not Mounds. Beavis - 12:12pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3287 of 8457)
I dont think its at mounds or cherokee, dont know about highland (never been there) Madallion man - 12:15pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3288 of 8457)
It' got to be at higland or beaver lake park. Madallion man - 12:21pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3289 of 8457)
Did anyone find out who that joker was that said it was at CP it a glass jar..... hay it could be in a glass jar beacuse one clue said you will have to crack are code and glass crackes but it would have to be in a bigger jar. Madallion man - 12:22pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3290 of 8457)

Alright, I am only going to give you all this one important
thought for the "pyramids" clue. Those "pyramids" are three
pine trees with short stumps. The pine tree forms a triangular
shape, thus like a pyramid. The stumps of the pine trees makes those
pyramids rise over the snow. So, I suggest you all look in the spot
where three pine trees are. Imagine a line connecting those pine
trees together, then search in the middle. Oh, and remember from
clue 5, those lines are "immeasurable". Good Luck!! B.J. Mack - 12:29pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3295 of 8457)
I can't believe there are people still trying to make this fit Mounds Park...or Beaver Lake, or Highland, or Swede Hollow.
This has got to be the latest (in recent memory) that so many people were still at so many different parks. Last year they spelled out Como in clue three. Of course, that's a larger park than this year's.
Hope it hasn't been found yet! See you at the lucky pyramid. Two Sisters - 12:29pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3296 of 8457)

If you look in last sundays paper at the pictures of previous spots are the pyramids obvious - at cherokee park? Two Sisters - 12:47pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3303 of 8457)
Okay, so who still thinks it's at Cherokee? Toner - 12:47pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3304 of 8457)

Hey Green...Hope you win at the show! We have a T-wolves game this pm. I have my fingers crossed hoping no-one finds it before this evening. Still think it's at CP.
I'll try to catch you here later. Can forward my e-mail address then.
Hey ITSINMY.....it was fun seeing you last night at CP. Good job on the "lucky" piece.

I do. Two Sisters - 12:49pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3308 of 8457)
We don't know where it could be at Cherokee, but are 99% sure it is there. It was hard digging last night, as alot of the snow was packed down from city trucks that were in there Friday night trimming trees. One of those trucks could've run it over and really buried it.

I suppose I do. We've been doing this for over 25 years and have been close to it most times. It's really luck that you dig in exactly the right place.

I think the city streets from one of the previous clues could be Wyoming & Winona both cities in Minn. Stephen E. Maas - 12:57pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3316 of 8457)
Hello All,
I just returned from Cherokee Park, There are about 100-150 people there, with many coming and going. Three square buildings in a row, all with pyramid shaped roofs seem to fit the latest clue perfectly. The NSP smoke stack is plainly visible, no plume of smoke today though. Winona is just one of the "city streets" that lead to the park. There is a play ground and a large rock sure looks like a large object to me. If you want an area with scenery and are looking for high ground, I'd head to Cherokee. The city did tree trimming there the other day, and the warm weather yesterday didn't help much. Digging is a lot of work, make sure you take metal shovels or rakes if you go. Best luck to all.

Ok my brother signed off now its my turn to play with this spacestation. So whats up Where is this thing at anyone Know? ivyparkistheone - 01:11pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3321 of 8457)
Everyone it is so obvious that the medallion at Ivy. Everyone is there enyway. Dr. Livingston - Alan and Jill - C. Fox and Marty. I guess they all met at Cherekee, couldnt find it, so they all went to Ivy and have a pretty good Idea where it is. Its at Ivy PEOPLE! ivyparkistheone - 01:15pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3322 of 8457)
Half of Ivy park is in Mendota Heights and the other is in St. Paul. Get it - thats the double division. You must be a rock head not to figure that one out. homc - 01:17pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3323 of 8457)
Where is Ivy? ivyparkistheone - 01:22pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3324 of 8457)
About 5 - 6 blocks from Cherekee. Everyone knows Ivy. Everyone knows that it splits too. Clare - 01:23pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3325 of 8457)

Good Luck to those that were looking with me last night. I'm feeling under the weather...too much digging...I'll be back out in no time though....Kurk, you going to be a third time winner? ivyparkistheone - 01:26pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3328 of 8457)
Yes - its very small and yes it is right by Cherekee. Clare - 01:28pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3329 of 8457)
What streets intersect Ivy and what fits as far as kids playing
or sledding...does anyone know? Two Sisters - 01:30pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3330 of 8457)
ivy - Okay I see the division of Ivy Park being half in MH and half in St. Paul. But the clue says LINE of double division. Is there actually something that can be considered a line - say as in a street or something? Annapolis is the Line of double division at cherokee. ivyparkistheone - 01:30pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3331 of 8457)
Last night I took some advice from one of the other post buddies on the computer and they said that there were News Stations down at Ivy Park. So I went there and they were right. There were 3 different News Stations there covering the medallion story. Its there I know it. Two Sisters - 01:31pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3332 of 8457)
What are the 3 pyrmaids at IVY? ivyparkistheone - 01:31pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3333 of 8457)
Two Sisters there is a perfect bike path. Clare - 01:32pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3334 of 8457)
Now that I found Ivy in my hudson book, it looks as if Ivy is
completely in Mendota Heights. The city border lines dont
even get close to including Ivy. Cherokee is on the limits
itself! AirBourn - 01:32pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3335 of 8457)

Ivy, We are almost convinced Ivy may be the place. If only we could see it on the map. ivyparkistheone - 01:37pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3340 of 8457)
The park lines were redrawn this year and your map is probebly outdated. This was a big issue for the Mendota Hgts. and St. Paul area. It caused a ruckus. Clare - 01:37pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3341 of 8457)
You gotta be kidding! It actually says "Rosebud" playground surfacing
equipment on it! Damn! You know its at Ivy then. AirBourn - 01:40pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3342 of 8457)
What's the 'lode' at Ivy? ivyparkistheone - 01:41pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3343 of 8457)
At Ivy there is water(pond, creek), woods, warming house in the shape of a dome. For inmeasureable there is a rain gauge. Its at Ivy. iced - 01:41pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3344 of 8457)
hehe, I would ask the same thing. Although I was @ Cherokee till 3 a.m. moving snow from one pile to the next, I can't even lift a shovel today! :)
Good Luck! ivyparkistheone - 01:42pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3345 of 8457)
Airbourn - there use to be a great mineral deposit in the park, but its used up. Clare - 01:43pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3346 of 8457)
Is Ivy pretty dug up? Or do people even have a clue yet about the
division and the secretness of the park? Shell-Head - 01:44pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3347 of 8457)
Ivy? You must be kidding. AirBourn - 01:44pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3348 of 8457)
I've been over a few spots at Cherokee more than once. Everything points me to a certain spot. The snow this year is going to make this difficult. I think you're going to have to be standing on it, twist your ankle, and wonder what the heck you just stepped on that hurt so bad, sit down, take your boot off, have lunch, pick up the lunch wrappers, and wonder what that extra 'dole' can is in your garbage. Then, you might find it... AirBourn - 01:45pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3349 of 8457)
I used to live on Cherokee, just south of Annapolis. I cannot picture a place in Ivy that's actually in Ramsey county.

If only I could be so lucky...I think I would sacrafice my ankle
so I can retire from this damn hunt. I am sure there are many folks that
feel the same. Just a side note to us diehards...here in madison
they have a treasure hunt too...but it has no attention or
outpouring of participation as our dear medallion does. It's much
like a copycat but not as creative! iced - 01:50pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3352 of 8457)
Where is Ivy I can't find it on my map either! :( AirBourn - 01:52pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3353 of 8457)
You know, if I could just find this thing, I might actually get some sleep, and make it to work on time... Shell-Head - 01:53pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3354 of 8457)
Where did you say Ivy was anyway? Clare - 01:53pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3355 of 8457)
Thats what is sooo creative about this hunt...we cant even find it
on a map...earlier someone told me the lines were just redrawn so
the cities now share the park (mendota and st paul) I am guessing the
park boardering sylvandale rd and park drive is where Ivy is????

Clare, yeah! Two Sisters - 02:03pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3369 of 8457)
Lilydale Park is in St. Paul? I don't think so. Clare - 02:03pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3370 of 8457)
Isnt Lillydale on the lower half next to the mississippi? It needs
to be on higher ground...I defintly think Ivy is the place. I think it
would have been found at cherokee already and Ivy is kinda discrete. Fair Trade - 02:05pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3371 of 8457)
Have you guys already ruled out Lillydale or what? We were there along with probably 100 other people until 4:00 this morning. AirBourn - 02:05pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3372 of 8457)

Lillydale has three large pyramid shaped buildings in a line, right in the center of the park. Like I said, it's right on Baker Street, and it's near the line that divides Dakota and Ramsey counties, as well as two cities. thetreasurehunterformerlyknownasitsinmypocket - 02:08pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3378 of 8457)
Great to be back all. So it wasn't found in Cherokee. Hmmmm are we ruling that out? Clare - 02:09pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3379 of 8457)

ivy- your explanation of the clues could point to any regional park in St. Paul. I highly doubt that the playground equipment says "Rosebud" on it and if it does, than I would imagine several other play systems at other parks would as well. Besides, way to miniscule. Any chance you live across the street from Ivy Park? Shell-Head - 02:13pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3387 of 8457)

I think IvyIs is sending us on a wild goose chase. I don't believe his explanations. Anyone agree? Clare - 02:15pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3389 of 8457)
I live quite far from Ivy park...about 265 miles from Ivy, in good
ol Madison, Wisconsin! Well, at least we all pretty much agree its
in the same general part of the city! Thats something good to look at! peter peterson - 02:15pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3390 of 8457)

You guys-don't you remember? It wasn't but a couple of hours ago when we were all agreed that it was at C.P. It IS at C.P. The med is not very large. It would be easily missed by someone looking for it in a pasta box when it's actually in bread dough, or a tums bottle or a banana peel. The med is at Cherokee Park.

You must live pretty close to Ivy! You sure got there fast! ZOOM!
Maybe kids drive cars through the park at night and in the process

ivy - What streets border Ivy Park? The only Ivy Park I can find on my map is called Ivy Hills Park and it is definitely in MH. There is a playground bordered by waseca, baker, bellows and page...is this your Ivy Park?? John Nelson - 02:25pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3418 of 8457)
Could someone tell me if there are three pine trees at IVY park that might form a triangle with immeasurable imaginary lines. I think the
three pine trees could be the pyramids, because of the triangle shape. The stumps of the pine trees is what makes the
"pyramids" rise above the snow. Just like what Clue 8 said.

Good Luck to you all! The winter carnival is such a great event! Wish I

THERE ARE THREE PINE TREES AT THE TOP OF THE SLIDING HILL AT HIGHLAND THEY STAND ALL BY THEMSELVES FORMING A TRIANGLE Two Sisters - 02:28pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3423 of 8457)

Hmmm, a quick recall of Ms. Perry's geometry class reminds me that pine trees are CONES, not PYRAMIDS...
Those three pyramid shaped rooftops at Cherokee are just too perfect. John Nelson - 02:30pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3426 of 8457)
Peter, I suggust you go to highland and search by those three
pine trees. I can't because I live three hours away from St. Paul. Brian Schletty - 02:32pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3427 of 8457)
I found a rosebush at Cherokee. Shell-Head - 02:32pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3428 of 8457)
Why do they have the tree trimming tucks out in the winter anyway? Why don't they leave trees alone for awile and let us find the medallion. For all we know a little kid probably found it the first day, took it home, and is now using it as a draw bride for his snow castel! AirBourn - 02:34pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3429 of 8457)

Probably. John Nelson - 02:37pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3431 of 8457)
Refering back to that double division. Picture a picnic table
from a birds eye view. You have the big rectangle as the table and
the 2 smaller same size rectangles for the seats. Now on paper,
to me that looks like double division. Seeing as we didn't get
much snow early this year, maybe its hidden under a picnic table.

Oh, you know, it's about medallion size... Brian Schletty - 02:42pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3439 of 8457)

Okay, I know this has been hashed to death, but are there any new ideas on the ...crack the code ...demo of the mode to pursue. I don't know...the dome idea is okay, but doesn't seem to significant to Cherokee. After all both the Cathedral and the capitol can be seen from Mounds as well. Does anybody think this could be a clue as to what the medallion is in? AirBourn - 02:42pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3442 of 8457)
Yeah, I can tell you a bunch of places that it' NOT at... ; ) AMD - 02:43pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3443 of 8457)
Probably a hundred people or so and the place is turned upside down. AirBourn - 02:44pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3444 of 8457)
Sisters, that's the clue I've been paying most attention to, also. The only thing that I've come up with so far is that 'lode' may indicate those big rocks at Cherokee. The demo/mode/code deal still needs some work... You got any new thoughts on the subject?

John Nelson- The double division refers to Anapolis street, it divides St. Paul from West St. Paul and Ramsey county from Dakota County. Two Sisters - 02:53pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3451 of 8457)
Airbourne - Still working on that clue.
What's the general concensus as to what the med is hidden in? Does the rosebud clue refer to just the sledding hill, or is it clueing us in on the container. I've heared the pasta box idea, the dough idea, etc and am not completely convinced of those either. Pugsley Adams - 02:54pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3452 of 8457)

All the clues that are givin so far do is point you to the right park. So far they have marked off the West end of C.P. with Anapolis Street, They marked the East end with the Pyrimidial building, the rose bush out there is inbetween both along with the sledding area, if you ask me it is taped or glued inside of an artificial rose somewhere in the open land between the playground equipment, and the sledding area; Yup, the hardest compacted snow to isn't it.
