I don't find a Casey Park nor Rosebud Street on my map 
Catch 22 - 03:51pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3544 of 8457)
I think it is near the Binocs at top of High Bridge. Why?
Clue #1-- "one" refers to 1st bank 1
Clue #2-- "water and woods" refer to drinking fountain and trees nearby also "high ground" refers to top of High bridge
Clue #3--"roses" refer to sign nearby saying "taken care of by such and such garden society" and "zoom" refers to binocs
Clue #4-- "object in view" refers to binocs, "demo of the mode" refers to domes, and "mother lode" refers to coal at NSP
Clue #5-- "City streets" refers to streets with city names nearby, and "immeasurable" refers to distances you can see
Clue #6-- "plume of smoke" refers to NSP stack, and "view" again refers to binocs
Clue #7-- "line of double division" refers you to annapolis which refers you to cherokee which refers you to the binocs
Clue #8-- "three pyramids" refer to the tops of the three posts at the top of the high bridge Yellowstoners - 03:52pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3545 of 8457)
"lode" and Harriet Island... sometimes they ship ore down the river, that is how it related back in '96. Two Sisters - 03:52pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3546 of 8457)
So where is Casey? Who suggested it? Does anyone know where it is? I know of a Casey Lake Park, but it is in North St. Paul (or Maplewood - not sure) E.R. - 03:53pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3547 of 8457)
What are Pyramids at Cherokee park? kollin stevens - 03:53pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3548 of 8457)
there is no casey park master j p - 03:55pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3549 of 8457)
First off, I can't believe I'm telling anyone this, I live right by the park and I have been trying to keep this to myself but I just can't.
Okay, that "rosebud" clue has many meanings, I think. If you notice, there is a thorn st. right by this park and also Mounds. This Casey is very small and it's just across the street basically from mounds and you can easily see the smokestack from here. It's also on the same ground level as Mounds. Also from clue 7, "aid your decision", Casey has a small building that kids go to if they get hurt playing on the pyramidal playgrounds, and they have nurses on duty to serve the kids, I remember because I used to play here as a kid also and I hurt myself repeatedly plus my mom was one of these nurses that worked in the first aid building.
Check it out. Maps do not show it because it is a very small park. Two Sisters - 03:56pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3550 of 8457)
Catch 22: I see your reasoning...Where exactly are the binocs...Are they in a safe enough place for a lot of people to be looking for the medallion? I know there is a lot of traffic on the high bridge; not sure the PP would hide it in a place that is risky for people to get hurt. Elsinore - 03:56pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3551 of 8457)
Casey Lake park is in North StP but the lake borders Maplewood. Its at McKnight and 17th. Shell-Head - 03:56pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3552 of 8457)
Good job catch 22 snowgirls - 03:58pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3553 of 8457)
were is Casey park or is there such a thing? Two Sisters - 03:58pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3554 of 8457)
ER - The pyramids at CP are so obvious! As soon as we got the clue it made perfect sense. There is a building that has three pyramidal(? is that a word) roof tops.
Elsinore - are you still thinking MOUNDS? Shell-Head - 03:59pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3555 of 8457)
The pyramids at cherokee are on top of the bathrooms master j p - 03:59pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3556 of 8457)
2 sisters?
That's Casey lake park in North St. Paul,
The park that I'm talking about is just Casey Park, no Lake
what's up now, Check that out Becky Beyers - 04:00pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3557 of 8457)

An update for medallion hunters...as of 4 p.m. Sunday it has NOT been found. The Pioneer Press has been getting lots of calls from people asking; just thought I'd let you all know the search is still going on. Elsinore - 04:00pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3558 of 8457)
I'll be back to Mounds only if they build three pyramids and make two division signs (mathematical) on them. Shell-Head - 04:01pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3559 of 8457)
JP, Where is Casey Park? Two Sisters - 04:02pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3560 of 8457)
Master JP - Nurses on duty at a small park...Really? I don't know about that. I don't know of ANY park that has nurses...First aid kits,yes, but not nurses. Catch 22 - 04:04pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3561 of 8457)
The binocs are on the corner of the High bridge and cherokee ave. It is a small area and there is lots of traffic on the high bridge. There is an area under the binocs that is easy to get to. Last time I was there, it was pretty picked over but it could still be hidden in the snow and just overlooked. Didn't they hide it one year on a bridge? Shell-Head - 04:04pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3562 of 8457)
Who has given up on cherokee? Two Sisters - 04:04pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3563 of 8457)
Catch 22 - Not sure. master j p - 04:05pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3564 of 8457)
There were nurses because it is such a small park, the nearby moms serve their time to help, this isn't done everywhere. Catch 22 - 04:06pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3565 of 8457)
I still like cherokee, but not in the same places as everyone else.

I think it is overdoing it to have nurses to watch over small parks. Were the hills covered with broken bottels or something? Yellowstoners - 04:08pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3568 of 8457)
I too remember that small park across from Mounds as a child. The nurses as a believe were from the old Mounds Park Hospital which was also across the street from the Indian burials. Matthew Hill - 04:08pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3569 of 8457)
There is No Casey Park or Rosebud Ave in St.P. And is everyone giving up on CP and going where.......????? Searcher - 04:08pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3570 of 8457)
Wasn't it in a cap of a utility pipe one year? Maybe not in the snow. Shell-Head - 04:09pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3571 of 8457)
What are the chances that any of us are actually going to find the thing anyway? Matthew Hill - 04:10pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3572 of 8457)
Whats with the Nurses thing???? Shell-Head - 04:11pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3573 of 8457)
# 901 has a list of everything it has been hidden in. Shell-Head - 04:13pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3574 of 8457)
It was inside a chunk of drain pipe in 72', and it was inside a pipe in 86'. Matthew Hill - 04:15pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3575 of 8457)
is it possible for the people at the PP to hide it in the meatal poles at the tennis courts at CP or MP??? JJ - 04:15pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3576 of 8457)
Any chance we could get a spellchecker on this thing for next year? firm biz - 04:17pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3577 of 8457)
I found it I just haven't told anyone, I'm keeping it because money is no object to me, what's 3000!whoopee
But I will start the bidding at $6000.00 Shell-Head - 04:18pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3578 of 8457)
I don't think they could put it in the tennis court poles. JNorris - 04:18pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3579 of 8457)
I am assuming it is not yet found. What is it with the nurses you are discussing? Searcher - 04:19pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3580 of 8457)
Becky @ the PP said no one has found it yet. Keep looking. Matthew Hill - 04:19pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3581 of 8457)
Shell Head -maybe where you tie the net under the curved cap??? just a guess Yellowstoners - 04:19pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3582 of 8457)
u all shud tri "Hukd on fonicks" it reelie wurks for us! Shell-Head - 04:20pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3583 of 8457)
Master said there were nurses at Casey. Dave - 04:21pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3584 of 8457)
I must confess, finally, for those that want a chance at finding that medallion, get your ass out of Mounds Park. Anything you think fits is wrong for Mounds - as much as Cherokee has been picked over it's still there (or they just haven't buried it yet). The three pyramids rise out of the snow, I would imagine it is more something in the backdrop rather than in the park itself. If "city streets" and "double division" and "you'll soon be back" don't cinch it for ya, then go home and give up, or become a Cherokee believer. Those are the three clues that make Cherokee the ONLY contender. So quit wandering to and fro find a place you can have a reasonable view of three pyramids, yet keep you close to the double division (annapolis) and the very southeast part of the park. Remember its always as far to the ground as you can go, under or in that last chunk of ice. And don't forget since my car is out of commission to drop by my house in highland park and pick me up along the way. Good Luck! JNorris - 04:22pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3585 of 8457)
From what I can tell there isn't even a consensus on what park the darn thing is in. Where is the most activity centering? Shell-Head - 04:22pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3586 of 8457)
Mabey they did. Matthew Hill - 04:23pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3587 of 8457)
Shell Head- what's with those nurses???? and to anyone else what is the smallest park that the stupid plastic circle has been found at???? glenn bloomer - 04:23pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3588 of 8457)
Casey lake park is in North St. Paul off 17th st. Lots of people
with shovels are entering that park. I'm headed there now. Any
one want to join? Shell-Head - 04:24pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3589 of 8457)
I say it's cherokee Searcher - 04:25pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3590 of 8457)
Skip Casey Lake Park. It's not in St. Paul! We've been talking about Casey Park. Matthew Hill - 04:25pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3591 of 8457)
glenn how are you going to go search at North St. Paul??? it's in St. Paul not North St. PAul Shell-Head - 04:28pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3592 of 8457)
Not Casey Lake Park!!!!!! Casey Park. Matthew Hill - 04:29pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3593 of 8457)
Unless is there 2 diff. types of the Casey Park and Casey lake. I'm confused Matthew Hill - 04:29pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3594 of 8457)
where is Casey Park???????????????? Searcher - 04:30pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3595 of 8457)
Someone said Casey Park is across the street from Mounds Park. It's very small and not marked on the maps. I doubt it's there, but you never know. master j p - 04:30pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3596 of 8457)
EVERYONE, EVERYONE ATTENTION. I AM MASTER JP I JUST SWITCHED MY NAME! THANK YOU SHELLHEAD FOR SAYING THERE WAS NURSES, NOBODY BELIEVED ME. DO YOU WANT TO GET TOGETHER AND LOOK FOR IT THERE! Joe Palke - 04:31pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3597 of 8457)
where did we get the casey Shell-Head - 04:32pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3598 of 8457)
No thanks, I'm still going for cherokee Matthew Hill - 04:32pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3599 of 8457)
Searcher- what streets is Casey on??? Searcher - 04:33pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3600 of 8457)
Joe--go back through a few of the discussions this afternoon. Someone gave all the details on Casey Park. Was post around 4:00 or so. Matthew Hill - 04:33pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3601 of 8457)
Master j p what is the nurse thing Shell-Head - 04:34pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3602 of 8457)
How much longer do you think it is going to take before somebody finds the stupid thing? master j p - 04:35pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3603 of 8457)
PLUS, JUST TO BACK MY THEORY UP, THERE ARE MASSIVE GROUPS OF KIDS THAT LIVE AROUND THE AREA THAT GO SLEDDING THERE.
PLUS HAS ANYONE EVER THOUGHT THAT "A place where kids zoom" doesn't have to mean where kids sled. Nobody noticed the "Childs rd" right along Mounds which may include the double division. Childs rd is on the map, think about it. Shell-Head - 04:35pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3604 of 8457)
Matthew, for the last time the nurses are at Casey Park Searcher - 04:36pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3605 of 8457)
Matthew: I'm no expert, but I think it's just north of Indian Mounds Park. North of Thorn Street and south of 94. Officially, however I don't think it's there. Shell-Head - 04:37pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3606 of 8457)
Ok, what parks could the medalion be at? Dave - 04:38pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3607 of 8457)
I have a map from st.paul parks and recreation. It lists every single park, community center, recreation area and playground. Would you please give up the stupid absolutely outrageous ideas about a park called Casey, because it isn't even on my Damn map. Times a wastin I want to see someone in this cooler go find that medallion in Cherokee.
Duh! Dave - 04:39pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3608 of 8457)
If anybody wants to pick me up and go find the medallion email me! Anytime 24/7. I don't know! - 04:40pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3609 of 8457)
Someone probably found it a long time ago. I hope they read the rules, though, that say they have to redeem it immediately!!! Matthew Hill - 04:40pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3610 of 8457)
Is anyone on the idea of the binocos at the bridge??? I thought that wasn't a park Shell-Head - 04:41pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3611 of 8457)
If anyone has found it the have had to have found it in the last 45 minuets.I hope not. Matthew Hill - 04:42pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3612 of 8457)
off to Casey, Cheroke, Mounds and the Binocos. see yua Shell-Head - 04:44pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3613 of 8457)
Does anyone still think it's at Ivy? Toner - 04:44pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3614 of 8457)
Just got back from Cherokee, all of the clues point there, the three pyramids are on top of the bathrooms. We think its there, but it is tough digging. Shell-Head - 04:44pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3615 of 8457)
Good luck! Searcher - 04:45pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3616 of 8457)
Master JP: Can you place Childs Road for me? How about a cross street. Shell-Head - 04:45pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3617 of 8457)
How is cherokee looking? Toner - 04:46pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3618 of 8457)
When people refer to Ivy, are they referring to Ivy Hills? Isn't that in Mendota Heights? If that's the one, there is nothing there. Where is there another Ivy? master j p - 04:46pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3619 of 8457)
Searcher- It runs right along the river also by pigseye lake rd. and meets with warner rd near the railroad tracks. Toner - 04:47pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3620 of 8457)
Cherokee is full of people. I think all the snow has been turned over everywhere. The places that it's not is very tough digging... really packed down hard. Clinton Mross - 04:48pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3621 of 8457)
We went to ivy. NO WAY is it there. Anybody checked the grills at cherokee? Keast - 04:48pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3622 of 8457)
OK everyone get a grip. Quit trying to read too much into the clues. Last year at this time, the same thing happened on this board. People started to doubt it was at Como and it was so obviouse just like this year. Its deffinately at Cherrokee, and there is a lot of land out there to move snow on. its in the middle of some field at Cherrokke. so get out there and look for it. if I didn't have toddler sick i'd be out there instead of trying to set all of you straight. Its a big park and could be anywhere in there right now. Searcher - 04:50pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3623 of 8457)
Thank you, Master JP! Searcher - 04:52pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3624 of 8457)
Anyone back from Indian Mounds Park? Is it thick with people, or have they given up there. Dave - 04:53pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3625 of 8457)
Amen Keast, people don't be so naive, get to Cherokee before it's too late. Catch 22 - 04:53pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3626 of 8457)
Have we figured out what it is in yet? Patrick Budion - 04:54pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3627 of 8457)
If it's not ay Cherokee, it's at Cherokee. Tonights clue will, may just say Cherokee and we still won't know where to dig. Shell-Head - 04:54pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3628 of 8457)
Ok, status check it's at cherokee, Casey does't exsist, and anyone who thinks it's at mounds is insain

I am off to cherokee. I still like the idea of the binocs on the High Bridge. Going to start there and work back toward sledding hill. Could the "pace" in the last clue mean it is in a pace picante jar? Patrick Budion - 04:57pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3631 of 8457)

Master, your childhood exists and so does the park. But it really doesn't matter because it's in Cherokee. master j p - 05:01pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3639 of 8457)
what does it matter, who cares if it is in a damn jar or what kind! You have to find the damn thing first, moron Searcher - 05:01pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3640 of 8457)

Yes, I've been searching with my Frisbee. Unfortunately, I have not gotten close enough to the medallion with it. I am sure that if it flies near enough, it will land directly above the med. Shell-Head - 05:32pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3675 of 8457)
Some body has had to have found it by now. Does anyone know the phone number to call to find out? Shell-Head - 05:35pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3676 of 8457)

I don't believe so. If it has then no one said anything. I'm going back out after a bite to eat. It will be the true die-hard that finds it. Oh yeah, Andy Van Dyke, Dick's brother, his middle name is Rosebud. Shell-Head - 05:47pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3686 of 8457)

Any ideas on what a future clue could be to narrow the search? Monica Ehman - 06:00pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3712 of 8457)
Cherokee fits but then again... So many people have been there! It's amazing if it's there that it hasn't been found! I wonder if it is buried in the snow, considering our lack of it so far this ear and with the warm temperatures?! Makes me wonder... If it's not in the snow, what else is there at Cherokee that hasn't been searched? And what about landmarks for the next clues? As for Ivy Park, the only one I found was Ivy Falls (or something similar) and that's not in Ramsey County. The Dominos' guys I talked to mentioned Baker Park. Went there, too, but that doesn't add up either. Well, I'm ramblin' but I'm frustrated (like many of you, I'm sure!) I just hope if I don't stumble upon it that another "die hard" does.
Is there anywhere else I can buy a paper that is closer to Cherokee than the Pioneer Press Bldg? I will be venturing back out at 11pm. (I'm in WI so I have a ways to travel and if there's a gas station on the way...) Josh Wright - 06:01pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3713 of 8457)

We were just out at Cherokee near the binocs/High Bridge. Noone else was out there and there was lots of undisturbed snow. Passersby stopped to insist that it was at Lynwood and then Crosby. Anyone heard anything along those lines? Bubba - 06:24pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3743 of 8457)

Rumor has it that it was once hidden in downtown St. Paul. There was a ton of damage to private property during the search, and it was as a result of that that it is now only hidden on public property

If the clue tonight doesnt pinpoint the park I think I am going
to flip over! It never takes this long to find the park. It
has to be so obvious we cant even see it. If it is at Cherokee
it sounds as if that park has been turned upside down! You'd think
it would be found by now. I think we are all being fooled!
