Ian: I'm fine with being stuck far away. I got my digs at Cherokee over the weekend. My friends are continuing the hunt for me and have promised to give solid updates tomorrow morning. They'll be wearing a little white tonight to mark them as Water Cooler Crew members.

Sorry Sunshine I'm a little older than that and my wife may
get concerned If I continue to talk to a HS'er online.

Me again. I forgot to ask this earlier. I was wearing my white bandana, but I didn't see anyone elses'. Did this idea fade? Even if it did fade it did work. Someone did come over. Still waiting on a name. :) Ian - 10:42pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#6511 of 8458)

Not bad, Matt. I lose track of what we're calling ourselves from day to day. mr.tomski was pretty vehement about Water Cooler Crew earlier today. For those in the dark, I posted this message a while back based on a long-running conversation:
Proper "Water Cooler Crew" Attire (tentative): anything white
worn against anything dark -- something that is obviously not part of
the regular winter ensemble (e.g., bandana, tube sock, towel, t-shirt,
etc.). A white scarf will work, but it should be wrapped around arm
rather than face. Displaying your Cooler handle is encouraged. There are a lot of us and we may feel more comfortable approaching someone we've gotten to know here. Good luck all and share your shoveling space tonight. Water Cooler Heads Will Prevail -- unofficial motto of the Water Cooler Crew Sunshine - 10:43pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#6514 of 8458)
Chris - I'm not in HS - Wish I still was. Was in school with a Chris Swenke; the name took me by surprise. What do you think of today's clue? Chris Swenke - 10:44pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#6515 of 8458)

I have only been out searching during the day. What is, I guess appropriate attire? Is it too cold for jeans? Also, I can dress myself just fine, I Just am curiuos what is the clothing of choice? mr.tomski - 10:46pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#6520 of 8458)

Wierd that their is another me out there I have never heard
my name use outside my family!
As far as the clue goes I go with the capital theory.
I have a feeling that it wont be found this year, either it has
been turned over and buried by a beginner or it will never see the
light of day due to the none descriptive clues! Johansen - 10:48pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#6527 of 8458)
Channel 5 news team was reporting live fron Mounds park tonight! Only a few people there though. Cherokee and Chippewa are indian tribes telling you it's at Indian Mounds park. Your wasting your time. mr.tomski - 10:49pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#6528 of 8458)

Someone earlier thought it might have gotten tossed in the chipper with the tree trimmings on Friday.
The other domes are on the gym thing. Maybe it has nothing to do with the cathedral, etc. Matt - 10:50pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#6533 of 8458)

Capital theory??? You mean Chippewa -- CAPEWHIP. Just wondering. I have looked at WC alot and some of the suggestions I think are way off. Like today; believe everyone is taking it in the wrong direction. Just hope it's not a newby who finds it. mr.tomski - 10:55pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#6539 of 8458)

How is this for an idea: Instead of having all of us type in the 11th clue why don't we just, like assign someone or volunteer to put it on. That way the server doesn't get clogged again! Lori Howell - 10:59pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#6544 of 8458)
I am new to this channel but will be wearing a white scarf tonight. i can't wait, just hope my hubby gets home in time to take over the baby doll. i think that it is between Baker and Winona near Chippewa (perhaps behind the pryamid thing) but then again my idea of where it is changes every five seconds. Ill start writing them down so I don't wander around aimlessly. If anyone's in my spot I might have to hit them on the head with my hoe. Well, maybe not.Ta Ta, see you at the frozen tundra.

Every clue that relates to Cherokee also relates to Mounds. The PP has got all of you brainwashed on the Cherokee Park theory. And you fell for it!! mr.tomski - 11:00pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#6548 of 8458)

Sleuth, your right none of the clues point in that direction. We all are just trying to make this clue fit cherokee park. We like being mislead. I have been doing this for 15 years and I am 20. Please do not disrespect us. Happy hunting! Ian - 11:01pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#6551 of 8458)

We do this because we are gluttons for punishment. The money would be great (2 kids in college) but this gets way beyond money.

Early clues.....about 6 or 7 hours of sleep We do this because we like money, we like learning stuff about St. Paul, we like the communal aspect of it all, but most of all because we want to squeeze that little medallion in our hands with a big sigh of accomplishment and the promise of being inscribed in the annals of a wonderful winter tradition.
(or maybe we're just all goofy in the head)
Middle clues.....about 4 or 5 hours of sleep
Last couple of clues.....lucky if I can get 3 hours of sleep.

Tough to get in (just like last night), but I got Wyoming Street from "yellow stone" on my own -- not too difficult. Who makes the sugary loaf? Doesn't matter much. Where Wyoming hits Cherokee is a small area to dig in. That little blue puck should go by noon (if the night diggers don't get it, the "morning afters" will). gotcha - 11:43pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#6637 of 8458)

Yea, Greg. Took me 15 minutes to get here after deleating a message. But, to be xpected with the flurry. Things will quiet down now.
Cheryl and Hubs are off to dig. We were IM-ing in AOl so I knew the clue tho I couldn't get in here.

Hey gang, thought I'd check in. Was up at Cher a few hours back. If it's there ;-) , it's been dug. But it's usually dug at least once! Is the concencus(sp) that it's in a twinkie by Wyoming? Server is going
Greg Sax - 11:55pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#6645 of 8458)
What's going on over at Cherokee right about now is what I call the locust stage. In the crisp quiet of the night, all the shovels, picks, and hoes sound like a plague of locusts moving across a field of white. It's an eerily beautiful sound. Harriet Island had such a nice locust symphony in '96 that I stopped digging just to listen.
greenslvs2: did you know Cheryl before the hunt or did you meet her at the Cooler? Also, I like the idea of separating ourselves from other Water Cooler threads, but PP*M*CC doesn't exactly stick in the mind. I never really liked Water Cooler Crew either though. Other suggestions are encouraged. As soon as this thing is found, we'll have some warm time to think about it for next year. It's great that the white clothing idea took off. Sounds like folks are making friends out at the dig site. Carol - 11:56pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#6646 of 8458)

Hope to hear from you both via E-mail maybe we can get together and plan our stratagies for 1999 the year of the Three Planeteers and "Cooler hand Luke" paraphanalia (probably spelt wrong) We will rule the roost for sure. I'm already making a list of new winter outing clothes i will need for long cold nights outside. I should start on a list of tools as well, since this year it started out easy enough to dig but got tougher with the warm days and cool nights.

LOts of ground not dug up out there. Whoever says Cherokee is all dug up has deinitely never looked
for the medallion. Went out last night, for 5 hours, I like the south end of the park from winona street
down to annapolis. Somewhere in there. I dug mostly in some truck tracks right at winona and chippewa can see
smokestack and pyramids rising from snow from there, but many other possibilities. Got to meet the infamous
Kurt Condie too. Always fun, good luck someone. Keep Posting! Girl with the most cake - 12:12am Feb 4, 1998 CST (#6662 of 8458)
So the hubby and I waited in the cold for the paper and when we finally got it we were stumped!!!!!! (Waiting in the cold freezes up your brain!) Usually we are here, on line, with you guys. We race to the park to see everyone by the sliding hill and we cannot figure out this clue. All we wished is that we could get some help from our CC buddies. We left to come home and log on.

Live update, from the site: LOTS of people (200+). Concentrated by the Winona Jct of Chip. It's a feeding frenzy! Fun to be out, if you can, get here in the next day-morning would be a VERY good time. It's here, somewhere, along with my left glove and car keys....Again, luck to WC's. David Allison - 12:27am Feb 4, 1998 CST (#6675 of 8458)
I hate to contradict myself but what about this interpretation: An earlier clue mentioned a place to play. Now we have this clue, To stay in our game (baseball) and earn some fame (Hall of famers)
You'll need to find the right zone (strike zone)
Just stay near locals (homeplate) which claim
A sugary loaf (Babe Ruth) and yellow stone (Yogi was a local of Jellystone, may be a stretch to connect to Yogi Berra the catcher).
Babe Ruth was a pitcher at one time, but most definitely a batter. It sounds like it may be near home plate. Rose - 12:30am Feb 4, 1998 CST (#6676 of 8458)

BeeYoB listen up if you can get in there right next to the street (chippewa) and directly accross from Winona there are 3 tire tracks going up and over the curb into the park finish digging around them for me I'll bet they are there. Clue # 6 If you're on the wrong track don't blow your stack just look for a plume of smoke in the skies with this in view you'll soon be back in hunt for our valuable prize!

To keep up the pace and win the race in a baseball game you certainly don't want to wander to and fro! You want to head home as quickly as possible.
Worthwhile tip=foul tip caught by the catcher?

Just back from "the site". Looks like some sort of disater rescure or something. Remember, Babe Ruth was left handed and hit many out of the park right feild homers.

I kind of agree that if it is on the field, it should have been found by now, but the field does make a lot of sense. I think the Wyoming and Winona interpretations are a bit weak, but I've been wrong before. A yellow loaf could also be a Twinkie, like our beloved local team which no one wants to claim.

Ignore the clues and try this approach. If you were a diabolical agent of the Pioneer Press intent on confounding the masses for days on end, and yet you had to write clues to give away the spot (including the final explicit clue) where in Cherokee Park would you put it?

Just for the record, I feel it's at the jct of Winona only (not Wyoming). And if it wasn't bad enough dealing with this server (at least an hour or so ago), my pc decides to shut down! Hopefully the dear coin can wait for me to come out in the light of day... Marz - 01:05am Feb 4, 1998 CST (#6743 of 8458)
I hid it in the middle of a field --- not by a sign Amy Trandahl - 01:07am Feb 4, 1998 CST (#6744 of 8458)
do you know what really sucks? to all that were out at cherokee, we all probably walked past the medalian in search for the PERFECT DIGGING SPOT we all know what that is, its the place that tells you it has to be here like a "lucky" slot machine does and after about 20 pulls of the lever it isn't as lucky as you thought! i wish it was done so i can stop obsessing or else i wsh I could just get my hands on it!!!(me and a million others!) Good luck all, its been fun I'll see you all next year! or read ya whatever! Marz - 01:07am Feb 4, 1998 CST (#6745 of 8458)
