Joy is a small street that comes off of Water street, near the two sets of tracks, and then returns.

Thanks for pointing that out Ryan. They would intersect on the other side of the river around West 7th Street. However Cherokee Ave. and Baker St. both end at a corner on the park. ryan quinn - 12:46am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1753 of 8457)
think that intersection of the 2 streets is a good idea, ill go over there tomorrow if it hasnt been found yet, and check it out...... could someone give me directions to cherokee, im coming from hwy 36 Josh J. Zenner - 12:46am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1754 of 8457)
baker street is on the map intersecting Cherokee ave. Why would they show it on the map if it wasn't part of the park? violator - 12:46am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1755 of 8457)
still dont think we have all the clues to pin it down. what is the popular opinion, just talked via cell phone to a buddy, he says there is 400 people still at mounds. Also said some people drove up to him and said they had the med and they where very serious but i'm not to sure jodespre - 12:46am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1756 of 8457)
My only guess at this point is that double division at Mounds could mean where the roads divide down by the KickOff Bar...but, it's far fetched...maybe there's a historical division meaning??? Shawnster Johnster - 12:46am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1757 of 8457)
about 10% of people are still holding out for Mounds. Let it go....
it's not about making an emotional attachment to a park. OR maybe it
is, I don't know... whatever the case, think what you want, but I
have yet to see "double division" in Mounds. Did anybody here besides
me walk between the two "dome" mounds by the wrought iron fence?
That was my guess at it. mother dole - 12:47am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1758 of 8457)
is my map wrng or don't the rest of you see that at the int of annapolis and chippewa, the sw pt. of cherokee pk. is the border of st. paul/west st. paul and ALSO west st. paul and mendota heights. that's double division! unless the answer is really 5, then this is all moot Alex Moy - 12:47am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1759 of 8457)
Shawnster: I didn't even remember about the pleasure clue, but that makes my spot all the better. I wish I were back there to help dig. selma and patty - 12:49am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1760 of 8457)
Joy and Water streets are down by Harriet Island and Cherokee is above Harriet Island ryan quinn - 12:49am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1761 of 8457)
could someone give me directions to cherokee from hwy 36 mother dole - 12:50am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1762 of 8457)
don't beleive that joy is pleasureable.. but, maybe its just me... still looking into dome park Alex Moy - 12:51am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1763 of 8457)
mother moco: is that a LINE of double division or just double division? ryan quinn - 12:52am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1764 of 8457)
im not giving up some park either, it could very posibly be there, even though cherokee looks better mother dole - 12:52am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1765 of 8457)
which is the better movie? citizen kane, or clockwork orange? j warndahl - 12:52am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1766 of 8457)
pleasure=joy joystreet is located near cherokee park BINGO! Shawnster Johnster - 12:52am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1767 of 8457)
Summary so far for cherokee fans:
1) Try north shore of Pickeral Lake between the Tracks.
(next to double division line)
2) Try Joy street off of Water street just north of that.
(pleasure clue: a little obscure imho)
3) Try Cherokee Blvd and Baker street

Clue Master did you get our E-mail awhile back? violator - 12:53am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1769 of 8457)
clockwork orange The Clue Master - 12:53am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1770 of 8457)
Mother - Where did the number 5 come from? I think you might have something there with those two intersections. But I just noticed that the division between the three is at the corner of Delaware and Annapolis thus taking it away from the park. Didn't get the e-mail S&P j warndahl - 12:54am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1771 of 8457)
HIGH GROUND...stay off of the flood plain mother dole - 12:55am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1772 of 8457)
alex, that is two lines of single division, which by the quadratic theorem is equivalent to one line of double division.. i'll be at cherokee tomorrow morning, with the kiddos Shawnster Johnster - 12:56am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1773 of 8457)
Ryan: hwy 36 to 35E south to Wacouta Exit. Go straight, then turn
right on 7th street (you will be downtown) Turn left on Smith.
Go across river on bridge. On other side, immediate right onto
cherokee avenue. selma and patty - 12:56am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1774 of 8457)
Annapolis is at the edge of Cherokee Park one side of the street is St.Paul which is Ramsey Co. and the other side of the street is W. St. Paul which is Dakota Co. That's the double division. LY JA - 12:57am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1775 of 8457)
anyone heard of baker park Shawnster Johnster - 12:57am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1776 of 8457)
hey, if yall are there, look for all the "internet pals" we made tonight. might be fun. ryan quinn - 12:58am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1777 of 8457)
just looking at a map, not that is really matters but dome park is actually called goodrich park JASON POWERS - 12:59am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1778 of 8457)
COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO FIND TODAY'S CLUE FOR THE MEDALLION Shawnster Johnster - 01:00am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1779 of 8457)
Oh yeah. Other "city streets":
Annapolis
orleans st.
winona
nagasaki
those are the common cities anyway j warndahl - 01:00am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1780 of 8457)
jason try the winter carnival page mother dole - 01:00am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1781 of 8457)

If you just don't know where to go Here's a clue to aid your decision: The medallion that promises lots of dough Is near

WHERE'S THE DUKE??????? ryan quinn - 01:01am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1785 of 8457)
mother i think that is a little bit far-fetched.......dont ya think? Medallion Master - 01:01am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1786 of 8457)
WHERE'S THE DUKE??????? Shawnster Johnster - 01:02am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1787 of 8457)
mother moco: I think it's a clue that "moco" rhymes with "loco"... ;) ryan quinn - 01:02am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1788 of 8457)
what does moco and loco have to do with anything? The Clue Master - 01:02am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1789 of 8457)
Thanks for noticing that there is no 'Dome' park Ryan, I thought that you were yanking our chains, that's why I made the sarcastic comments earlier about Rosebud park and all. Shawnster Johnster - 01:03am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1790 of 8457)
I like it how people pick their childhood parks regardless of the clues. "Well, there's standing water there when it rains..." ;) Well, there are no domes there, but there is a sliding hill with two sides on it! j warndahl - 01:04am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1791 of 8457)
Rosebud Indian Reservaton? Shawnster Johnster - 01:04am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1792 of 8457)
Im outta here, see some of you at 7am or so... then I can dig the undisturbed places ;)
later zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ryan quinn - 01:05am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1793 of 8457)
ok, there are alot of things that could point to goodrich(dome) park. there are alot more that point to cherokee park though. and im not pulling tyou chain or anything mother dole - 01:05am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1794 of 8457)
believe that the park we all want is found in my last name if you can crack the code foolsbee - 01:05am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1795 of 8457)
does anyone think that last night's clue (the word plume) is related to plum street near mounds? you can line the street up with the big smoke stack!!! i still feel mounds but i am not there because i think it is still too vague ryan quinn - 01:07am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1796 of 8457)
doubt its at como again...wasnt it there last year? Shawnster Johnster - 01:07am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1797 of 8457)
ryan: moco and loco are no clues. just trying to tell mother her clues are a stretch. Very creative though. Hard to see how someone with such creativity could also understand the quadratic equation. Must think with both halves of the brain...wait, two halves, TWO DOMES! MOTHER MOCO IS THE MEDALLION!!!! jodespre - 01:07am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1798 of 8457)
If we could relate double division to Mounds we may have something...sorry Cherokee fans...Mounds still has potential! The Clue Master - 01:07am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1799 of 8457)
Funny one Mother in #1781. Both Clockwork and Rosebud were excellent movies. Both are better under some sort of influnce though. And, by golly, so is the hunt. Any ideas on what it's hidden in? ryan quinn - 01:07am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1800 of 8457)
plume can mean smoke(from a smoke stack) or an indian feather j warndahl - 01:08am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1801 of 8457)
give up on mounds selma and patty - 01:09am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1802 of 8457)
It's hidden in a Rosebud Pasta box. greenslvs2 - 01:09am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1803 of 8457)
Clue Master... IN 1695 to me you mentioned double meaning... Have you noticed yet the ENTIRE bunch of clues (well, maybe *not* ENTIRE... LOL!!) it's all doubled? First Bank twice, twice for Cherokee, two domes, double division... Bet it's in a Bandaid box, alrite!!!
Any other doubles I'm missing????? jodespre - 01:09am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1804 of 8457)
Also, division could refer to bike paths, or any other thing that can divide two areas... foolsbee - 01:10am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1805 of 8457)
JW what is your reasoning for giving up on mounds? it's still early, tomorrow should definitely give us the park w/o doubts ryan quinn - 01:10am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1806 of 8457)
you know how we got dome from demo and mode. well its a stretch but if you take lode, you can make it into DOLE, as in the pinapple. maybe its in a dole pinapple can? mother dole - 01:10am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1807 of 8457)
think i will ask for double the money when i find it :) Shawnster Johnster - 01:11am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1808 of 8457)
mean it this time. zzzz. later... j warndahl - 01:12am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1809 of 8457)
Foolsbee there is NO joy or pleasure near mounds jodespre - 01:12am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1810 of 8457)
Isn't it funny to see the creative minds at work...don't give up on your thoughts...we have no absolute proof as of yet and anything is still possible. Those who are discouraging certain parks...have YOU found the medallion yet???? The Clue Master - 01:13am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1811 of 8457)
Greenslvs2 - Could be. But thanks for reminding me to delete that one. foolsbee - 01:13am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1812 of 8457)
JW and what do you think the pleasure is at cherokee? pleasure could be the playground at mounds jodespre - 01:15am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1813 of 8457)
If you think long and hard enough, there is a relation to just about any park in St. Paul for each clue... greenslvs2 - 01:15am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1814 of 8457)
Clue Master:
Yea!!! Hockey team back! Plus... If you add 112 it equals four, DIVIDED BY *2* = 2!!!! Cherokee it is, and it will prolly be found in something double as well!
(Am seriously thinking of becoming Clue Master2!!!!!!! ROFLOL!!!) mother dole - 01:15am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1815 of 8457)
don't think pleasure or joy has any relevance at all. but then i've been called loco by some... j warndahl - 01:15am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1816 of 8457)
foolsbee we are looking for a street and joy street is located near selma and patty - 01:17am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1817 of 8457)

jenny what did you see at mounds? my roomates are out there now. i still think it's there but it's still so vague? and not many at cherokee huh? that's strange. i would have thought alot to be there with the bakery reference. Brian Carlson - 01:48am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1829 of 8457)
still here...just came back from Mound....no luck :( greenslvs2 - 01:49am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1830 of 8457)
I'm here. Don't have anybody to dig with... So, I sit here and help out. (sigh)
Jenny.... Go back to Cherokee.
Does anybody here know the park well? Like, is there something in the park that could/would serve a "double" duty??????? Near Annapolis??? Cheryl Straight - 01:50am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1831 of 8457)
New to the cooler, but thought I'd check you guys out.... Not exactly
sure how this communication works so here goes.... reading the last few posts and not sure I'm getting it all. Missing why "cherokee" is the latest supposition. Any Help? Also, is Highland out of the running..."high ground" = highland? greenslvs2 - 01:50am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1832 of 8457)
A building, maybe? foolsbee - 01:51am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1833 of 8457)
what could be the double division at mounds? that has me stumped! does anyone think that the word aid in tonights clue ties in mound with the hospital?retirement home at earl and thorn streets? Brian Carlson - 01:52am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1834 of 8457)
double division at MOUND: there is the Scenic View path that divides 2 sets of mounds...two mounds on each side hmmmmmmm greenslvs2 - 01:53am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1835 of 8457)
Something with the number 2 on it???? Maybe Satellites (men & woman's) by the double division on Annapolis????? (I'm getting tired now... starting to grasp at straws.) foolsbee - 01:54am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1836 of 8457)
B.C. were there many at mounds? Brian Carlson - 01:55am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1837 of 8457)
20+...had the dog with and he was getting to be a pest :) Cheryl Straight - 01:55am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1838 of 8457)
Live near Cherokee....double duty could be the ball diamond / sled hill on the south side of the park next to Annapolis. I may wake up my other half and go check it out?! foolsbee - 01:56am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1839 of 8457)
greenslvs2....what park are you thinking? Allie Go - 01:58am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1840 of 8457)
I see nothing at Mounds that could be double division and I've only been to Mounds...but I'm exhausted and can't put much effort into deciphering tonight...I do feel strongly about the borders though at Cherokee. I think I'll check it over tomorrow. But my advice is to not wear yourselves out...be rested for when the name of the park comes out...hopefully on Sat. or Sun. Good night all. foolsbee - 01:59am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1841 of 8457)
does anyone think that the word plume from last night has anything to do with plum street adjacent to mounds? greenslvs2 - 01:59am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1842 of 8457)
Fool: I've been on here for hours; I'm tired and snippish!!! Read the posts, furcryunoutloud!
Cheryl: You gotta a copy of all clues? And slog thru the posts like I have. But you've got it!!! The majority greenslvs2 - 02:01am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1843 of 8457)
of the clues this year are all "double". You're in the rite spot. And the reasoning for #2 is "double", plus if you add 112 (this year's Hunt) and then DIVIDE ("double" "divison" - plus there are two divisions in the park... I can't explain xactly - try reading up... Sorry!) BY TWO, YOU GET TWO. greenslvs2 - 02:03am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1844 of 8457)

I mean the reason for *asking* about a building with the #2 on it... NOT clue #2. foolsbee - 02:05am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1847 of 8457)
green---you can also see the nsp thing-a-ma-jig from mounds, from plum street!! Pat Pfundstein - 02:07am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1848 of 8457)
Foolsbee forget Mounds. I was just at Cherokee. If you go to the intersection of Annapolis (a city street) and Cherokee you will see a sign that says Mendota Heights/Lilydale. It is the double dividing border line. If you Mounds people want to continue wasting your time then please continue; you will thin out the contenders for the prize (prize; what does he mean by that? There was a prize once awarded at Mounds. It must be there!!!) greenslvs2 - 02:08am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1849 of 8457)

thanks pat that is very helpful, what do you think about the word aid? greenslvs2 - 02:09am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1852 of 8457)
Pat: Bless you. i just didn't want to slog back up thru all those posts. Also, there's another dividing line... like on the other side. greenslvs2 - 02:10am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1853 of 8457)
Aid=bandaid; DOUBLE. Last year: Curad
Trick this year (IMHO) is DOUBLE. foolsbee - 02:10am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1854 of 8457)
okay so you say cherokee, than are we throwing out the repeating too soon issue? Brian Carlson - 02:12am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1855 of 8457)
IMHO??? what is that? foolsbee - 02:13am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1856 of 8457)
green--if you think everything is double then maybe it's at como. never has it been back-to-back, that would be tricky. and last night's clue "you'll soon be back"....just thoughts greenslvs2 - 02:14am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1857 of 8457)
You're rite, Fool. It's Como. Besides, there's two o's in Como.
Bri: In My Humble Opinion foolsbee - 02:16am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1858 of 8457)
hey these are just thoughts Cheryl Straight - 02:17am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1859 of 8457)
I'm still here - haven't convinced hubby to get up yet....double division thought (have patience, I can be a little slow) Annapolis is division between St. Paul and Mendota Heights/West St. Paul AND Ramsey and Dakota counties. greenslvs2 - 02:21am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1860 of 8457)
You're correct, but I've been sitting here, seeing you see exactly the majority of notes I've been posting for the last 2.5 hours. Had you been reading them, you would have seen my reasoning even for "you'll soon be back"... even in it's double form.
But, whatever. *All* of us are entitled to our opinions and thoughts. Just please do *not* ask me to repeat those of mine that I have voiced while you have been on. Beavis - 02:22am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1861 of 8457)
double division?? maybe its in a giant wad of doublemint gum... greenslvs2 - 02:22am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1862 of 8457)
Cheryl: BINGO!!! greenslvs2 - 02:25am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1863 of 8457)
You jest, Bevis, but truth-be-known.... That thought even occurred to me!!!! LOL!!! Your sweet (no pun meant!!) humor IS GREAT! Beavis - 02:27am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1864 of 8457)
O.k., with all this double talk what if they split the medallion in half, and its in two parks foolsbee - 02:28am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1865 of 8457)
goodnight and GOODLUCK!!!!! Brian Carlson - 02:28am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1866 of 8457)
will they post anything here if its turned in? how soon? foolsbee - 02:29am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1867 of 8457)
good thinking beavis!!! green i think you are seeing way too much double! greenslvs2 - 02:30am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1868 of 8457)
Bev... I was then following the thought of "double" after your gum comment... WHAT IF THERE'S TWO MEDS!!!! Fat chance, but dreaming never hurt!
But.. and bare w/me as I'm not a native of MN... "double"... CHERYL: Any TWIN things in Cherokee????? greenslvs2 - 02:33am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1869 of 8457)
Bri: Don't know how soon, but I believe it's to be posted on the Winter Carnival page of PP. I'm thinking as soon as it's known, but I don't know how long that would take to "hit" here. Tho, they've been REALLY GREAT AND FAST on posting the new clues.
Sorry... Hope that helps. Brian Carlson - 02:34am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1870 of 8457)
thanks...just making sure I'm not wasting my time looking if its been found.....which may be the case anyways foolsbee - 02:36am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1871 of 8457)
BC i don't think it will be found for a couple of days yet, they've been petty vague i think. this will last a few more days until i find it on monday!!he-he!! greenslvs2 - 02:38am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1872 of 8457)
Bri:
I think it is. Clue Master flew outta here so fast my typing ran together (see back about 12:00-1:00 a.m.) when I mentioned most clues were double. I don'wanna dig alone (female), so I've nobody to dig with, so... it's like i'm getting vicarious pleasure directing others... but TRUST ME!!! Next year will be different!!!
If you guys - Cheryl, while you play the stereo loud to get Hubs up - would read from about 10:00 p.m. on... I think you'll understand lots better. Brian Carlson - 02:40am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1873 of 8457)
fool, then there must be 2 meds...one for you and one for me LOL greenslvs2 - 02:41am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1874 of 8457)
I can slog my way thru the reasoning if you want, but it will loose so much as I've read so much that I'll forget some of it. If Pat's still here, maybe he could help.
But it's Cherokee. In the vicinity of the of the double division. All they have left to do is tell us xactly *where* in the vicinity. foolsbee - 02:42am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1875 of 8457)
what's LOL stand for? Brian Carlson - 02:44am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1876 of 8457)
LOL=Laughing Out Loud greenslvs2 - 02:45am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1877 of 8457)
That's why I'm asking if there's any "two" of anythings in that area... the area of the sledding/ball field area. Two porta-potties? A building with the number 2 on it??? Two trees???? Two picnic tables???? Two pumps??? Two roads??? Too late???? (LOL!!) Black Widow - 02:45am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1878 of 8457)

well...time for bed...happy hunting greenslvs2 - 02:50am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1880 of 8457)
Reading last year's clues... Clue number #2... "You're cure for displeasure..."
While it was not mentioned in what Greg Sax said in his reasoning for #2, last year... but "cure" is the beginning of Curad - the box the Med was found in last year.
This year - double. Last year #2, "Cure"... This year - double. This year "aid." Curad-Bandaid.
Now, at this late hour, maybe I'm going too deep. However, it feels more like being rite on top of somehting... and feels so good. Shheshh!!! I wanna dig!!!! Black Widow - 02:52am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1881 of 8457)
Hey Green do you have a vehicle? If so I'd be willing to dig with you
My partners in the hunt (Men) had the car and they were to tired and cold to do any hunting tonight. So we drove out to both Cher and Mounds and sat there in the car. and counted people. They both said that they didn't get any vibes so why get out? MEN why bother!!! Cheryl Straight - 02:56am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1882 of 8457)
There are 2 pavilions and 2 pull-outs in cherokee (also 2 tennis courts within the fence)- You can also see both St. Paul and Mpls skylines from the park. (Thought couple days ago that mother lode could be the coal at nsp) greenslvs2 - 02:58am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1883 of 8457)
BW: I've got one... Too tired to get behind the wheel.
But thanks. Go. Dig. Just remember me, wave to me on t.v., when you find the Med!!!!! greenslvs2 - 02:59am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1884 of 8457)
Cheryl: Which of those are nearest the Annapolis double division???? greenslvs2 - 03:00am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1885 of 8457)
BW, Cheryl: Both of you had better have your patoots down at my club's cat show sometime tomrrow to say, "Hi!" to me in purrson... I need to be up at 6:00 today!!! Rite!!! Fat chance!!! Black Widow - 03:01am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1886 of 8457)

Cheryl: How close is the coal to the Annapolis/double division? Black Widow - 03:05am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1891 of 8457)
Well speaking of cats mine just decided its play time so I gotta go see what the knocked over. Have a good show. Maybe we'll stop by. greenslvs2 - 03:07am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1892 of 8457)
Bye, BW. Wish you could hunt. Maybe we can next year?? Cheryl Straight - 03:07am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1893 of 8457)
Greensleeves...may go check out near the pavilions????Come on over BW. Coal is at the plant, by the river/lower part of park, not "high ground"

Hummmm.... very interesting discussions.
I'll have to give all this a good think or 2. greenslvs2 - 03:33am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1900 of 8457)
Cheryl: Still here??? God bless AOL, may they rot in h*ll. You're on too long... Then you're gone.
Is the coal near/close/RITE by the Annapolis corner??? And, too (god, how I'm getting to hate that word!!!)... are there any porta-potties by these places... "If you don't know where to go..." V-E-R-Y long stretch at 3:30 in the morning... but... well. So what? Phil Peterson - 03:34am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1901 of 8457)
east side phil-- Just got back from cherokee, but no luck!!!!!
about 10 people there or so. Cheryl i saw your pals in car half asleep
All the major places were dug up (playground,swings, tennis courts,
around all the trees, etc. etc.) Two guys digging up by annapolis if
that is the double devision, but that is where st. paul ends and
mendota heights begins. greenslvs2 - 03:35am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1902 of 8457)
LOL!!!! I pulled a "Joe Medallion" never ever meaning to!!!! I was #1900. The little pain would be proud of me!!! Too funny!!! Me Dal Leon Hunter - 03:39am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1903 of 8457)
Green, you owe me a thank or 2; if I wouldn't have sent my useless message at #1899, you would have never been #1900 ("Joe Medallion?").
You're welcome. greenslvs2 - 03:39am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1904 of 8457)
But those two (I'm REALLY getting to loathe that number!) left here too soon. Rite spot... but they need to be looking for another double in that area... Two trees, two potties, two doors, two lights??? Never thought of that one before! Two signs? Two Hour Parking????
Oh, GOD. Is that it??? I read they plant (bury) the Med around signs and stuff.
Just my thoughts. I wish I was at Cherokee. (sigh) greenslvs2 - 03:41am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1905 of 8457)
Kudos to you, MDL Hunter... I think. Not too proud being in the ilk of our Joe. ISH!!! Me Dal Leon Hunter - 03:42am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1906 of 8457)
Green, keep um coming...your notes are very entertaining.
2 potties? (I won't even ask) Phil Peterson - 03:45am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1907 of 8457)
greenslvs there are two pavillons joined together by the kiddies playground, but they where searched through pretty well before i gave them the once over????? greenslvs2 - 03:47am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1908 of 8457)
Read up, Hunter. I'm telling you where to go!!! LOL!!!
Really, at this hour, I'm stetching the 'double' bit. But, still. Once it became clear all the doubles, it was like a sledge hammer and I'm trying to double up on everything. All of which is not pertinent, I'm sure. Reading too much and all that. But...
And I've still not had an answer from Cheryl (who's now out digging!) about if there's any 'twin' (doubles) things in the park.
This is really pulling things... but "double" - mirror? Mean anything to anybody???? Me Dal Leon Hunter - 03:48am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1909 of 8457)
Does anyone else have this problem reading these recent messages:
Everytime I finish reading the most recent message, I have to scroll back to the top of the screen and click "recent" to get more recent messages that might have been added after I've finished reading what was at that time the most recent. (Did I state that problem right? -- Do you understand what I'm trying to say?)
greenslvs2 - 03:51am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1910 of 8457)
Hunter: I've been doing that for three days now. Thought it was the only way. Plus, the only way I know how to get to, like, say, Post #1200, is to CONTINUALLY keep hitting "Previous" until I get there. Me Dal Leon Hunter - 03:53am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1911 of 8457)
OK, I'm ROFLOL, LOL .... hav'n fun; got to go.
See you later Green, Cheryl and BW -- what a team.
Think I'll pick up that med on my way; then I'll have to bring it downtown tomorrow and see if it's worth anything.

Green, there's a faster way to get to any post #:
If you're not at the most recent post, you'll notice a number at the far right of your current URL; e.g. -- my Netscape browser says "Go to:" and then gives the URL:
htt://www.pioneerplanet.com/......../1899
That indicates note #1899 is the one at top of your screen; so you change the 1899 to whatever post you want to go to and press "enter" key -- and it takes you to posts starting with the # you substituted for the 1899. greenslvs2 - 04:00am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1918 of 8457)
Hello, Phil! PLEASE do NOT ask me to recap 1916 messages. Please try and read as much as you can. PLEASE!!!!

Do you guys think that whoever hid the medallion could have anticipated all of the branch cutting that they recently did in Cherokee? With those city vehicles driving in the park and all the work they were doing, maybe they decided to hide the medallion away from where it could be disturbed. We should consider this when we search Cherokee. greenslvs2 - 04:02am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1920 of 8457)
Hunter: I've AOL. Not seeing what you're describing. greenslvs2 - 04:05am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1921 of 8457)
BINGO, BRIAN!!! Like three years ago on here (well, it seems that long...!) it was mentioned that in past years that the Med was found in areas of parks where there was major/kind'a lot of new stuff/redoing going on. Makes sense if you think about it - a gazillion folks traisping around and digging.
Is that anywhere near Annapolis and the sledding/ball field area???? Phil Peterson - 04:06am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1922 of 8457)
green a real hunter would have been out there an seen all of the downed tree limbs and tire tracks in the snow(f**ckin prick)
good point brian. greenslvs2 - 04:10am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1923 of 8457)
Huh, Phil? Missed your meaning there. Brian Schletty - 04:12am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1924 of 8457)
Is this the first year that the Pioneer Press has provided the Water Cooler chatroom for medallion hunters? greenslvs2 - 04:13am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1925 of 8457)
Don't think so, Bri. Think *maybe* last year???? Year before???? But pretty sure this is not first. Me Dal Leon Hunter - 04:15am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1926 of 8457)
Green,
I've sent you a couple E-Mails over the last hour; most recent one a couple minutes ago about "Registration could pay" -- don't forget to read your E-Mail.

If you're on AOL Internet browser, I'm not familiar with it; but I can tell you: Every page (i.e., roughly a screen; or scrolling screen) you view on Internet as a URL (like a page address) associated with it; and you should be able to cut (using cut-and-paste) your current URL using some command on your screen, modify it as I described (by changing the right-most # in the URL) and then re-paste it to whatever AOL uses to allow users to transfer to specific pages (that should be some sort of "go to" command) on the Internet.

Have you been to Cherokee today, Green? Me Dal Leon Hunter - 04:20am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1928 of 8457)
I think Jan'97 was the first year for this Water Cooler discussion. greenslvs2 - 04:21am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1929 of 8457)
Hunter: I see your mail, but not read - the pay one. I usually cut and past (to WinWord) what I see. Too tired to try and figure out what you sent here. Could you send to me privately? I'd appreciate it.
Will read "It Pays" later; am registered. <still evil grin... Wanna share???? ROFLOLWMP!!!>
But thanks, it's nice of you to send that to me. I will (the one you send privately) study, look into and try and figure out!!!! Brian Schletty - 04:22am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1930 of 8457)
Thanks. greenslvs2 - 04:22am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1931 of 8457)
Bri, no. Was downtown, and that more that "doubled" (I CANNOT I BELIEVE I USED THAT WORD!!!) and clinched my vote on Cherokee. It was much of that that I mentioned here that send Clue Master off and running!!!!! greenslvs2 - 04:25am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1932 of 8457)
Hey, Hunter!! Remember when I was stuck on Battle Creek and wrangling all I could outta McKnight, et al???? I just want to die laughing!!! Too funny!!!! greenslvs2 - 04:28am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1933 of 8457)

It's hard to think of creative hiding spots at Cherokee. Playground equipment, trees, etc. have been searched. I assume we should avoid dangerous situations, like searching over the edge of the ravine. We're left digging under a foot of snow. Something doesn't seem right, yet it has to be there. greenslvs2 - 04:30am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1935 of 8457)
Hunter: Thanks. See mail. Will get sometime later. Much appreciate, hombre. Muchas gracias. greenslvs2 - 04:31am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1936 of 8457)
It's there, Bri. AGain... Any two hour parking signs near the Annapolis double divide???? Men/Woman's porta-potties??? "Two-Way Traffic Ahead" signs???? Brian Schletty - 04:33am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1937 of 8457)
None of the above. Why are you tripping over the double division clue. Isn't it clear?? Me Dal Leon Hunter - 04:33am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1938 of 8457)
Brian,
If you said "foot of snow", I think you figured out where the med is hidden -- that's exactly the way it's done. greenslvs2 - 04:35am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1939 of 8457)
Oh, my lord. One must read mail much more often. Yes, one must.
Let's see... What else can I think of????? Me Dal Leon Hunter - 04:35am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1940 of 8457)
Green,
When you wrote ROFLOLWMP ... what is the WMP ???? Me Dal Leon Hunter - 04:37am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1941 of 8457)
OK Green, way to go:
Sounds like you read that E-Mail. Brian Schletty - 04:37am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1942 of 8457)
Didn't we just get a lot of that snow recently, Hunter??...after the medallion should have been hidden? I've been up in St. Cloud, so I don't know for sure, but I thought St. Paul didn't have much snow-cover until recently. greenslvs2 - 04:40am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1943 of 8457)

Bri: NOT tripping... Trying to add to all the doubles that have been in the clues. Just adding on!!! Brian Schletty - 04:49am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1945 of 8457)
I havn't yet picked up on any other doubles in the clues. Sorry. greenslvs2 - 04:52am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1946 of 8457)
Bri... Please *PLEASE* do as I have done and slog thru the postings. I've been at this for three days. I only got a few hours sleep last nite, and have to be at the cat show tomorrow in 2.5 hours. I *do* belive I will not be on time!!!!! greenslvs2 - 04:55am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1947 of 8457)
Folks, I've got to get. I need at least a few hours sleep. I cannot believe I've sat here this long!!!! I'm going to need DOUBLE my sleep!!!!!
Good luck to all digging hunters. Wish I was one of them. But, maybe I've helped "digging" for clues here. God knows enuff folks have run off after listening to my ramblings!!!! Cheryl Straight - 05:55am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1948 of 8457)
Greenslvs2, you still here? Just got back from Cherokee. What a mess! One of the pavilions has a roof with 2 peaks/domes? There were a few late/early people out there digging. The tree trimming theory is interesting. I live 2 blks from park and thought it strange they were doing trimming this late - after they did all the rest of the neighborhood months ago. Cheryl Straight - 05:57am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1949 of 8457)
Brian, we got snow in last 2 wks. Don't know how far in advance they bury the medallion. Beavis - 06:30am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1950 of 8457)

Hi everyone - just signed on. When I signed off yesterday, everyone was thinking Mounds. What happened? I don't know if anyone mentioned this yet, but as you're driving down Shepard road (below Mounds Park) by the railroad tracks, there is a big white sign that says "Division St.". Don't know if this means anything . . . Dr. S. Livingston - 07:20am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1952 of 8457)
I like the Division St. sign idea but, I think there needs to be two of them to make it a double division. Bubba - 08:03am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1953 of 8457)
Double Division has to be the border of both the city and the county, Annapolis street, also Phalen, Beaver Lake have potential there. Later guy - 08:27am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1954 of 8457)

Is it possible that not only is there the division st theory but that you might be able to see the dakota county line? Another type of division? gustav - 08:56am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1965 of 8457)
do not know, lots of banks near Highland - who cares
could mean that the coin is in a cookie? or bread wrapper
really no idea - just having fun guessing Fortune Hunter - 08:56am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#1966 of 8457)

there really isn't a Firestation right next to the park, like a police station, but look anywhere you want.
Hey keep using those metal detectors
I doubt it will help, but then you will be out of the real hunters way!
