Actually there is a sign that say's City of St.Paul and Division of Parks and Recreation at both parks. 
CB15 - 09:41pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4052 of 8457)
The Woman and I, where do I go when I go to the page you told me to go to? Catch 22 - 09:41pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4053 of 8457)
In clue #4 it says "first you'll have to crack our code. So here's a demo of the mode to pursue" I think that this is saying the rest of the clues will be in code like "demo, mode = dome". Just a thought, but do any of the other clues have anagrams like this? Jake Jones - 09:41pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4054 of 8457)
Well blow me down! The medallion is still not at either of those parks! Allie Go - 09:41pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4055 of 8457)
That sign is very much at Mounds on Thorn and Earl. First Timer - 09:41pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4056 of 8457)
I don't think that the words zoom, race, and keep up the pace refer to sledding. If "Rosebud" refers to sled, couldn't it mean a snowmobile? Is McCarron Beach considered a park? You can see the smoke stack from Roselawn ave. and Rice Street. It's right between the golf dome (a place to play in the winter) and the go-kart track (a place kids like to zoom). That could also explain the words race, track, and pace. The Woman And I - 09:43pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4057 of 8457)

CB15 - That takes you directly to the clue page. Is that what you needed? Dave - 09:45pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4058 of 8457)
So how has The Woman And I been doing, where all have you been looking lately and how much time have you put in now? I'm kinda thinking it is attatched to a pace picante sauce cap, buried in the ground, near but not next to the double division (annapolis)in the southeast (more eastern) part of the park, where the three pyramids come into view. Cherokee that is! "you'll soon be back" near "City streets" right???? CB15 - 09:46pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4059 of 8457)
I think so Patrick Budion - 09:46pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4060 of 8457)
Dave I think you are correct. Catch 22 - 09:48pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4061 of 8457)
In clue #8 if you use the anagram thing you can change "pace" to "cape" and "race" to "care" and who would wear a cape and care---------Super Mom!!! Red DOG - 09:48pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4062 of 8457)

3 Streets also come together at the same spot Dave is talking about; pryamid? Patrick Budion - 09:49pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4065 of 8457)
What do you guy's think the next clue will be? king tomski - 09:49pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4066 of 8457)

I spent most of yesterday on Annapolis - still think it could be at that neck of the park. Last nights clue did bring me to the top of the park near the "three pyramids", but I'm not straying to close to that. Good thinking on the pace cap. I have been at CP every day since Wednesday. I do not think it is at Mounds. Tonights clue will decipher alot. I will be out this evening. Jill Dave - 09:50pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4069 of 8457)
Lets face it they are not trying to make double division a hard clue to figure out at this point. In its simplist form, it is what it says. It divides St. Paul from West St. Paul and Ramsey County from Dakota County, the ONLY other fit there is the Mississippi dividing Minneapolis and St. Paul, and Ramsey from Hennepin down by Hidden Falls Park, but that would probably be a stretch given ,.....hmmmmmm,
na, the other clues don't fit there anyways. Poop - 09:50pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4070 of 8457)
As everyone knows the real pyramids are located near Giza and Giza rhymes with geezer which was the first name of Geezer Butler the bassist of Black Sabbath. Who else wears black that has a connection with the twin cities? Of course it's Hulk Hogan of the new world order, the dark side of wrestling. What building is known as "the house that Hulk built?" Of course it's the Civic Center! Therefore the pyramids lead directly to the Civic Center. THATS WHERE IT'S AT FOR SURE!!!! gustav - 09:51pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4071 of 8457)
double division - Highland is divided twice, once by Montreal and once by Edgecumbe??? Dave - 09:51pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4072 of 8457)
Good Luck to The Woman And I This Evening! Wish I could be there too. Patrick Budion - 09:52pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4073 of 8457)
I don't think the medallion is in the snow by the 3 pyramids cause there is 4 clues to go and they are not going to give the medallions location this early. The Woman And I - 09:52pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4074 of 8457)
Alan and Jill
I agree Pat Dave - 09:54pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4075 of 8457)
I agree I think the pyramids is more of a backdrop sight! The Woman And I - 09:54pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4076 of 8457)

Today was a test of physical strength. The snow is very compact and icy at CP. People bring the nesscary equipment - you will need it! Wheres the Ben Gay! greenslvs2 - 09:54pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4077 of 8457)
Cheryl:
Am still reading (@1493) since coming home from Cat Show... Will need to run some stuff past you when you get back as SO MANY are overlooking very important clues; Remember this - I'm a big one for double... and I just found a whopper of a double based on something posted about 10 to 8:00 or so - just up from 1493. Will need your brain, Cher, as I don't know squat about these parks...
But... If what I'm thinking is correct there *is* one park that better fits CP based on an aspect of a clue that I have been harping on for the past 3.5 days. Will need your brain kiddo!!! Should be caught up by the time you get back. Will catch you!!

Does anyone agree with me about the Civic Center? Patrick Budion - 09:59pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4081 of 8457)
No offence(sp), but it is reading too much into thr clues. The Woman And I - 09:59pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4082 of 8457)

POOP, What are you smoking and where can I get some... Tickles - 09:59pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4083 of 8457)
We think like Dave. Rosewood Estates on E. Mississippi River Blvd. has a rosebud on the sign- right across from the bike path where kids like to zoom. The nearest cross street is HIGHLAND. The Ford plant sports a DEMO outside the gate- in view of smokestack and a large round object. The double division is the County thing - also the bike path divides to two lanes. There is a dome on the City sign on the Ford bridge. Where are the pyrimids, though? Could the spires across the river possibly qualify? Any thoughts out there? Dave - 09:59pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4084 of 8457)
someone said in a pace jar then and I corrected that it would be taped to a pace cover. Makes sense in clue #8 "keep up the pace" Patrick Budion - 10:00pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4085 of 8457)
Any Vet's out there? Catch 22 - 10:01pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4086 of 8457)
Anything with a top that has four sides that come together at a point is considered a pyramid---like the Washington monument in D.C. it does not matter if it is 300 feet tall with straight sides as long as the pyramid shape is at the top! Catch 22 - 10:02pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4087 of 8457)
I agree Dave!! DAZED AND CONFUSED - 10:03pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4088 of 8457)
I think the Pace lid is pretty far fetched, that's an awful small thing to look for in the middle of a Minnesota winter.
I've been over to Mounds and its really dug up. If its there like a lot of clues say it is, it's posible that its been uprooted and not noticed. king tomski - 10:05pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4089 of 8457)
Iwonder if the claim-jumper who found the clue last year is quietly listening First Timer - 10:05pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4090 of 8457)
Nobody answered me about McCarron Beach. Is that a park? Nathan Trivette - 10:06pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4091 of 8457)
We need to figure out the location before we even start to think about the container its in!!! The container clue rarely can be translated any other way, if its even translated at all before they tell us what the clues mean... so in that case rule out the pace.. king tomski - 10:06pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4092 of 8457)

I think McCarron's is a municipal park, not a city park. Dave - 10:08pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4095 of 8457)
It wouldn't be the first time the medallion has been kicked around. Yes that is reaching a bit, but it is a fairly trivial matter anyways, since you have to sift through every inch of snow anyways. It has been attatched to small objects like that before, but I really don't know just guessing - you know. It's in there some where (Cherokee) giddyup - 10:09pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4096 of 8457)

There is SO much info here - and many, many, many great ideas. Sorry to get on you. (should have kept quiet) It just gets so tedious people getting on and immediately asking for info that's been said in so many ways, SO many times. Like, "Otay. I'm here now.

I'm still betting the farm on CHEROKEE. Your "double division" and "three pyramids" are still too much of a stretch, while at Cherokee they're quite obvious.

I'm with you dave. Jill AirBourn - 10:50pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4174 of 8457)
You know, Green, you coulda told me the latest on 'lode' in less words than your soap box speech.... First Timer - 10:50pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4175 of 8457)
Maybe the clues that point to CP are TOO obvious. Dave - 10:51pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4176 of 8457)
It won't matter where you think it is in about 35 minutes, because it will be confirmed as to the whereabouts of the medallion as they narrow the park with the next clue - To Cherokee. Get There First
that is one war zone about to get even worse. Josh Wright - 10:52pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4177 of 8457)
Hey Airbourne---How do you get your pix up there, I tried earlier bun to no avail. AirBourn - 10:52pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4178 of 8457)
My money's still on Cheorkee. B.J. Mack - 10:53pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4179 of 8457)
First Timer,
That's why you're a first timer, and we're grizzled veterans. You have to let the clues lead you to the park, not twist the clues to fit your favorite park.
East Siders are too damn stubborn. They refuse to leave their territory. This is fine with me. Leave Cherokee for those of us who can intrepret this mess and dig like maniacs. Fair Trade - 10:53pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4180 of 8457)
Air - will you share the latest on "lode" with me? greenslvs2 - 10:54pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4181 of 8457)
Well... *I* was ehll-bent for Battle Creek at first. Then BJ and a few others that were very quiet in posting their opinions got me to see the lite... plus (blushing modestly) I was able to REALLY help others with my observations... convinced me it was Cherokee. *However* so many of you are completely ignoring very important facts... and due to a previous idea... I'm *patiently* (i'm lying... I'm not being patient AT ALL!!!) waiting for my "eyes" to check in as the Med *could* (maybe) be elsewhere. But, that's just my opinion. And I've yet nothing concrete to base it on. B.J. Mack - 10:54pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4182 of 8457)
TONIGHT'S HOT TIP....
Think about where you should be standing so that "you should look near a place Where three pyramids rise over the snow".
That's all I'm gonna say.... Arthur Martinez - 10:55pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4183 of 8457)

Why do people insist that the clues are so obvious. Maybe they're actually trying to make it harder this year. B.J. Mack - 10:58pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4191 of 8457)
Todd, Nope, if I worked for the PP, I'd be ineligible, so I'd be in bed right now.
Air, did you get the point of my HOT TIP? selma and patty - 10:58pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4192 of 8457)

BJ... It was your "Water and Woods" STREETS that got me going... I just took it from there with C's eyes... But... I've a niggling doubt now... Sorry to let you down. :( But, it may just be a wild hair that's itching my... Well, we'll see. Stay tuned!!! Black Widow - 10:58pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4194 of 8457)
Green how long have you and Cher been working together I think I need to find someone that I could trust to either guide or be guided that what I meant by Woman with dog not M/w/S Fair Trade - 10:58pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4195 of 8457)
Don't you think the "dough" might refer to Baker Street, which runs right next to CP? AirBourn - 10:59pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4196 of 8457)
Not so fast, Mack - I've been at Cherokee every night since Thursday... Arthur Martinez - 10:59pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4197 of 8457)
Indian Mounds Park was the place in 1987. How are these places picked. Does anyone know? Is it random? Cheryl Straight - 11:01pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4198 of 8457)
Green and BW, just reading to catch up. Hubby and I checked out Kellogg and Baker. Don't see any pyramids. Anyway I'm back....... greenslvs2 - 11:02pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4199 of 8457)
BW... Three days!!! Here!!! LOL!!! Wanna be another strange three-lady threesome (Damn!! There I go with doubles again!!!) next year????? Tony - 11:02pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4200 of 8457)
A lot of people keep asking what would lead to Mound. Here's what we cam up with...Clue 2 says water and woods, and high ground, obviously the river and woods nearby, and the high bluff. Clue 3, well, we went with both the Rosebud reference to Citizen Kane, and Thorn street, apparently there are sliders down the hill from the beacon, which we took from #4 as the large object in view, and the dome from the capitol as the dome mentioned. Clue 5 we really stretched on and said that Reserve Street could be the immeasurable riches, i.e. Federal Reserve, Clue 6 we took track as being the railroad tracks down by the river, and you can see the NSP stack from Mounds, Clue 7 was the double division, which everyone and their mother took as the Tennis Courts, and #8, well the only pyramids we could see were the shelters at the park, which all three are pretty close together. So, that's why we have been looking at Mounds, but we have also checked Cherokee. First Timer - 11:02pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4201 of 8457)
Did anyone know that near Mounds there is a "wastewater treatment plant" and a "wood recycling plant"? greenslvs2 - 11:03pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4202 of 8457)

AirBourn, not doubting your hunting talents, just seeing if anyone else is on the same page re: "pyramids rise over the snow".
I hope the clue puts me where I think I should be. Then I'm out there immediately. Black Widow - 11:04pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4206 of 8457)
Sounds great. Looking forward to it. Well Cheryl tell us the good news. It was a Woman with Dog not a Man with Son right:) greenslvs2 - 11:06pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4207 of 8457)
C: Check mail. mr feeman - 11:06pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4208 of 8457)
Well, you can think what you want, but just wait until tomorrows paper comes out!! It was found in Cherokee park and nobody but you guys know because we have not yet reported it to the proper authorities. As for the e-mail address, it is made up and that is because we did not want to receive any replys. Sorry guys!:-( violator - 11:06pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4209 of 8457)
people, it is not at mounds or cheerokee B.J. Mack - 11:06pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4210 of 8457)
Listen people, the "double division" is what so clearly puts it at Cherokee. I don't know how many times I've said it, but for the benefit of those who've missed my rants....
Annapolis Street, which borders Cherokee Park, is the dividing line between St. Paul and West St. Paul and between Ramsey County and Dakota County. This is plainly the best "double division" you'll find. Much more clear than a tennis court or a basketball court, which is in almost any park and just has a bunch of lines on it, no clear double division.
If you still want to look at Mounds, go ahead. Dave - 11:07pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4211 of 8457)
Well if you were on Harriet Island you would probably have to look over the snow to see pyramids of coal, but then that wouldn't fit.
All I know is that wherever that damn thing is listen to B.J. Mack those damn pyramids (whatever they are) somewhere in the distance will be visible and almost looking right at you over the snow. Good place to start, then look for groups of trees or major objects that may hold the medallion in the middle or line up a number of objects or an object points/hints to a direction in a subtle fashion and then so many paces of from there things like that, and don't stop till ya hit the ground. Tony - 11:08pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4212 of 8457)
Well, Mr. Freeman, the rules that "The finder of the Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt medallion can exchange the medallion
for $3,000 by immediately returning it to the Pioneer Press building, 345 Cedar Street,
St. Paul."
Note the Immediately. Cheryl Straight - 11:08pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4213 of 8457)
Green, checking don't see it yet, did you send to usinternet? AirBourn - 11:08pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4214 of 8457)
Mack - there *IS* another St Paul park that's close to a 'line of double division', just like Cherokee.... First Timer - 11:08pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4215 of 8457)
If you look on the south side of Mounds, the railroad tracks split from two into four. First Timer - 11:09pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4216 of 8457)
Remember, not all of Mounds is on the bluff. Elsinore - 11:09pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4217 of 8457)
Violator - I agree, I just wish we had a better place to look.
Mr Feeman - If so, where at Cherokee? I'd hate to waste my time tonight, but I'm not staying home cuz you said so. greenslvs2 - 11:09pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4218 of 8457)
But, BJ, love... What... Just what *if* Annapolis continued further in a given direction and was "near" - maybe not just rite on top of - another park??????????? Axel - 11:09pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4219 of 8457)
Hey shit for brains feeman you have to bring it down to pp building right away like it says in the rules or you won't get any money, you would be disqualified! The Woman And I - 11:09pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4220 of 8457)

AirBourn,
OK, Cherokee, Crosby Farm, Hidden Falls, Phalen and Battle Creek border the city line. But Cherokee is the only one I see that also borders a county line. Am I missing something?
Still sticking with Cherokee. Too many other pointers. vallay moua - 11:12pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4224 of 8457)

Too, everybody is missing "soon be back" and "place to play can make any winter more pleasureable" - a double meaning - being Civic Center. Tho, it's like three times said... Oh, well.
And... remember 112? Adds up to four. Four "divided" by 2 = 2 (double [two twice] division????
Well.. Two years ago it was at Harriet Island. Two (god, how I'm getting to hate that number!) Plus, in the clues for 1996, they use "dough" and "mother lode" AND "pleasure".
