mother dole - 09:21am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2008 of 8457)

maybe city streets lead the way means that some street like smith comes from the city (downtown) right over to the area Edit MessageDelete Message

mother dole - 09:22am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2009 of 8457)

has anyone tried dome park, off division street at the st. paul/maplewood border... just a thought Edit MessageDelete Message

Patrick Budion - 09:23am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2010 of 8457)

That is a good idea it could be there. Is that park small or big. Edit MessageDelete Message

mother dole - 09:26am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2011 of 8457)

it is probably too small. Edit MessageDelete Message

mother dole - 09:27am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2012 of 8457)

at cherokee, there are two single divisions: st. paul/west st. paul, and west stp. paul/mendota hts. does anyone remmber if by the archimedes theorem if 2 single divisions is equiv. to 1 double division? and i was a math major :) Edit MessageDelete Message

The Hungry Mind Bookstore is sold out of Treasure Hunter's Guides. Please give the Map Store a call @ 227-6277, they had about 20 left on thursday morning. I'll try to have some for sale at the park, look for my "Treasure Maps" sign. I'll be there around noon, today. Steve Worthman @ jsrworth@aol. Edit MessageDelete Message

jmg - 10:12am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2019 of 8457)

Maybe I'm totally clueless after #7 ...

Somethings add up for Mounds Park.

Water(Mississippi), woods, scenery(in just about all directions), high grounds(Sacred Indian burials), Bloomless Roses(Thorn St.), Zooming kids(slides in the Toddler park facility), Large object in View to guide(Beacon atop the Park for guiding air traffic into/from Hollman field below), Demo(exhibit of Burial grounds), Immeasurable Riches(Earl St. or "Duke of", are most Dukes considered wealthy?, how about nearby Frank St., as in the German mark?, Or do the Sacred grounds provide riches beyond measure?), Tracks, Stacks, and Plumes of Smoke(railroad tracks below the Mounds Bluffs, stacks emitting smoke/vapor in plain view from Indutrial Park below the bluffs?).

Double Division lost me... Division St. seems to vague and the Mathematical approach (square root) might be above just about all of us.

WHAT OTHER PARKS FIT??? Edit MessageDelete Message

Red DOG - 10:15am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2020 of 8457)

JMG try Cherokee Edit MessageDelete Message

E.R. - 10:38am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2021 of 8457)

It is in either Cherokee park or Indian Mounds Park.Am I right? Edit MessageDelete Message

Cheryl Straight - 10:42am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2022 of 8457)

Was at Cherokee last night (well it was dark anyway), lots of footprints and some lookers. The clues re mounds sound like it could be there. Edit MessageDelete Message

E.R. - 10:44am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2023 of 8457)

Probably. Edit MessageDelete Message

Cheryl Straight - 10:49am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2027 of 8457)

However..posts from late last night pursuaded me to check out cherokee. Sometimes feel missing the obvious by reading too much into it. May go back over to cherokee to check. Edit MessageDelete Message

Cheryl Straight - 10:57am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2031 of 8457)

Annapolis, the street dividing St.Paul from West StP and Mendota Heights and Ramsey from Dakota county. That's one of the cherokee pointers jmg. You can also see the NSP smoke stack from there.

Does anyone know if it must be buried next to the ground? I have checked the rules and the past 10 year's hunts and it seems to be so. Reason asking is there's someone at cherokee poking around in the tree tops. Edit MessageDelete Message

Brutus and Kato - 11:07am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2032 of 8457)

Yes, Cheryl, I agree, on or near the ground, not in the treetops. Boy, do people get carried away. Last year my daughter and I saw some guys in a pickup driving around Como shining spotlights into the treetops. Give me a break! Edit MessageDelete Message

Jeff Ryans - 11:10am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2033 of 8457)

The little kids skating team at central park in Roseville are called 'The Rosebuds'. go check that out. Is that Ramsey county? Edit MessageDelete Message

Annette B. - 11:11am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2034 of 8457)

Since I may never get to look...sounds like Mounds Park...my thesaurus says stack=mound and plume is a lg. ornamental feather (as in indian feathers?) also city streets sounds like urban place, and there is a plum(e) street a few blocks from urban.. Edit MessageDelete Message

Thanks for the NSP stack update... although it was foggy last night, I'm sure it's visible from Mounds as well as Cherokee. The Double Division theory works very well for Cherokee. Only Division I can come up with for Mounds is the River (St. Paul/W.St.Paul), ... anybody have another division for Mounds? Edit MessageDelete Message

A. Metal Detective - 11:36am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2039 of 8457)

Maybe the line of double division is something smaller, such as a bike path. Its telling where in the park, as opposed to the location of the park itself. Edit MessageDelete Message

Cheryl Straight - 11:36am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2040 of 8457)

Cherokee has attracted a few this am. I can see them from my window. Husband just back from walking dog, says 20 or so people on this end of park. Edit MessageDelete Message

A. Metal Detective - 11:37am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2041 of 8457)

What end of the park Cheryl? Edit MessageDelete Message

Cheryl Straight - 11:38am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2042 of 8457)

northern end of "main" park - between baker and page. their hunch may be that Baker splits "main" park from piece containing tennis courts and cherokee heights blvd which splits the "main" park from the bluff side... Edit MessageDelete Message

Brian Carlson - 11:41am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2043 of 8457)

double division for Mound: there is a "Scenic Path" in Mound that seperates 2 pairs of mounds, 2 on each side. Edit MessageDelete Message

A. Metal Detective - 11:42am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2044 of 8457)

What is the double division reasoning for Cherokee? Edit MessageDelete Message

Cheryl Straight - 11:43am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2045 of 8457)

if the other parks are looking like cherokee, I hope it snows after medallion is found. It looks like an army marched through Cherokee. Edit MessageDelete Message

J B - 11:46am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2048 of 8457)

division for cherokee is that Annapolis a "city" street divides St. Paul from West St Paul/Mendota Hts and also I thing Ramsay and dakota counties . .hence double division ? Was over there this am . . .more people were at Mounds Park Edit MessageDelete Message

Cheryl Straight - 11:46am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2049 of 8457)

Is the author(s) of the clues ever disclosed after it's found? Edit MessageDelete Message

J B - 11:48am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2050 of 8457)

Sorry for spelling in previous message. It was very hard to see Cathedral/Capitol as well as NSP smoke stack from the highest point in Cherokee which is the Southern end of the park where kids are sledding(zooming)near Annapolis("city" street and the double division reference) GOOD LUCK TO ALL Edit MessageDelete Message

A. Metal Detective - 11:49am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2051 of 8457)

JB, when were you at Cherokee? Edit MessageDelete Message

GPopDaddiO - 11:52am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2052 of 8457)

I don't think the author would get a minute's rest if he/she were disclosed to the people who spend countless moonlight hours out in sub-zero weather only to have the med found in 15 minutes by someone who "just stopped by" to check it out. The explanation of the clues, however are always published at the end of the hunt so we can see how far fetched they (or we) are. Always a depressing day, if I was dead wrong, or dead on, cause I still didn't get the dough!!! Edit MessageDelete Message

A. Metal Detective - 11:57am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2053 of 8457)

Forgive me for asking if this has already been asked, but how does clue #4 fit in with Cherokee? Especially the first two lines? Edit MessageDelete Message

Ice Cream Man - 11:58am Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2054 of 8457)

Does anyone else think that it's hidden at the binoculars at the High Bridge. That's part of Cherokee Park. Edit MessageDelete Message

Ice Cream Man - 12:00pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2055 of 8457)

Today's clue "dough" could have something to do with a bakery. What bakeries are around Cherokee Park or Mounds? Edit MessageDelete Message

Cheryl Straight - 12:01pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2056 of 8457)

"A large object in view.." might be NSP stack. Coal at plant could be Mother Lode. Others have located 2 domes in clue which could be Cathedral and Capital... Edit MessageDelete Message

kollin stevens - 12:02pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2057 of 8457)

where would it be by the binoculars Edit MessageDelete Message

A. Metal Detective - 12:02pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2058 of 8457)

You can see the two "domes" there, not to mention the smokestack to the left, a big limestone rock, and the railroad tracks are visible straight ahead. Edit MessageDelete Message

Ice Cream Man - 12:08pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2061 of 8457)

Does anyone else think it could possibly be at the Kellogg Mall Park? As of right now, the clues lead to any of these places, not to mention Prospect and even Phalen. Edit MessageDelete Message

Ice Cream Man - 12:10pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2062 of 8457)

Can 'double division' refer to the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers joining nearby Crosby Farm Park? Edit MessageDelete Message

Ice Cream Man - 12:13pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2063 of 8457)

This just in, ma pahtna just got back from Phalen, and you'll never believe this. Some guy found the Medallion hidden in the bricks around a tree. So I guess the search is over until next year. Edit MessageDelete Message

jmg - 12:16pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2064 of 8457)

So for Cherokee ... Streets are Water, Joy(pleasure), Wood(or so I'm told), Prospect(immeaurable riches), tracks and stack(s) in view with smoke plume(NSP?), high ground with scenery, and profound Double Division. What about that "Rosebud" deal???

Mounds ... Streets are Thorn, Urban, Frank, Plum(e), and Cherry. Water(river) and woods(Forest Reserve) with High(Sacred) grounds, again tracks and stacks, beaconing guide in view, demo(Mound exhibits), park slides for zooming kids. What is the division other than the river for Mounds??? Edit MessageDelete Message

kollin stevens - 12:19pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2065 of 8457)

ice cream man is joe medallion, right? Edit MessageDelete Message

Rob Norris - 12:43pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2067 of 8457)

Listen, no one has found it yet and it cant be at phalen. Usually it would say in a clue to stay away from private lands or something like that where ever a golfcourse would be near. My thoughts are at cherokkee. Edit MessageDelete Message

    Eastside Boys - 01:30pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2091 of 8457)

    It's clear that nobody knows where the treasure is. Therefore I will help you all. Beaver Lake is the Location. Why. One street that runs into Beaver Lake is Rose Ave, across the lake betw McKnight and Stillwater is Bud street. Rosebud is also a sled, the sliding hill is near the school by the lake. The Eastside is the highest point in St.Paul therefore the highest ground. The dome is the water tower that overlooks the lake. The mother lode is the statue of Mary near the school next to the sliding hill. With the railroad tracks nearby and the plume of smoke from the 3m plant, Beaver Lake is where you want to be. The 7th clue tells us it's near a line of double division that is the Blvd. Walk from the Blvd to the sliding hill near the school and you will find the treasure. Watch for me on the news.

    That's pretty weak. Those signs are in every park with a combined bike/walking path. The other Mounds Park explanations of a a "double division" was a path that divided to go around two burial mounds, and a road that divides the park twice. All not very strong.

    On the other hand, Annapolis Street, which borders Cherokee Park, is the dividing line between St. Paul and West St. Paul/Mendota Heights and is also the dividing line between Ramsey and Dakota Counties.

    I hate to make it all so easy. But I doubt any of the hardcore Mounds Park fans will come over to the West Side anyway.

    I like Patrick's thought that the medallion is hidden in a La Rosa pasta box. Hence, "Rosebud." The La Rose Pasta company is also on the West Side, right?

    "Rosebud" doesn't necessarily point to the park. It's likely a hint about what the medallion is hidden in. It's also the name of the sled in "Citizen Kane." So it could be reinforcing the idea that the medallion is hidden near a sledding hill. Edit MessageDelete Message

    Pat Pfundstein - 03:23pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2157 of 8457)

    How many times does Rosebud have to be explained. In what is considered the greatest movie of all time by many critics, Citizen Kane, the main character dies while uttering the word 'Rosebud'. Since he is one of the wealthiest men in the world (based on William Randolph Hearst), much of the movie is spent trying to find out what he meant. It turns out he lost his sled 'Rosebud' as a child, and it screwed him up for life.

    Rosebud means sled. There is a sliding area in Cherokee near Annapolis. I agree the Mounds die hards will stay there. This will win them the coveted Frog Pond Medal first class. More power to them. Edit MessageDelete Message

    The important part of clue five is not "immeasurable." It's the references to "a place to play" and "city streets." There's a playground in Cherokee not far from the sledding hill. Also, as pointed out earlier, five streets with city names border or run into Cherokee (Annapolis, Ottawa, Wyoming, Winona, Sidney (sic)).

    Happy to see you figured one clue out. "Demo" and "mode" are anagrams of "dome." There's two of them in the clue = two domes, the Capitol and the Cathedral. No need for burial mounds.

    You can see the Capitol and Cathedral domes from both Mounds Park and Cherokee. But check out the first part of clue four. "A large object in view will help guide you." I think that's a reference to the NSP smokestack, which becomes more clear in clue six. You can see the NSP smokestack from Mounds, but it's a lot closer to Cherokee.

    One other dome thought. If you stand and look at the "line of double division" sign (which has a line between Lilydale and Mendota Heights) on Cherokee, you can then turn around and notice a 'Capitol City' sign with a picture of the Capitol dome. From that very spot you can also see the NSP stack, the Catherdral Dome, the sliding area, the river, and of course Annapolis. Edit MessageDelete Message

    I was out at Mounds last night, and after the clue came out, tons of cars came up the hill as if they knew something. When I went down to get the clue the "double division" stuff really threw me. I've been in the Mounds camp since early on, but it might be interesting to check out Cherokee. The "city streets" stuff works for both Mounds and Cherokee, so that doesn't attract my attention so much as "you'll soon be back" from Clue No. 6. I've also recently heard a neat theory about the use of the word "plume" as in an Indian headdress. But I still believe the "plume of smoke" refers to the NSP stack. Edit MessageDelete Message

    Pat Pfundstein - 03:54pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2183 of 8457)

    Greg If you stand at the corner of Annapolis and Cherokee, and look down Cherokee you will see a city sign as you would pass out of St. Paul. It carries the names of two cities, Lilydale and Mendota Heights, because on the right hand side of Highway 13 (the extension of Cherokee beyond St. Paul's city limits) you are in Lilydale. The left hand side is Mendota Heights. A line even divides the names. It may be a distillation of the clue or an overreading on my part (of no consequence since the main meaning is probably Annapolis which is the line dividing both St. Paul/Mendota Heights and Ramsey/Dakota).

    By the way, I do not rule out a 'rosy' container for the Medallion, but if Rosebud did not mean sled, it would not be in quotes and capitalized. Edit MessageDelete Message

    What domes are visable from Beaver Lake? Edit MessageDelete Message

    Dr. S. Livingston - 05:11pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2208 of 8457)

    Patrick--If it is in cherokee then it is not there any more. Last year it was in como, but como is a large park. Cherokee is considerably smaller and the way people are flocking there then it is already found and no one wants to tell us. I think that the person writing the clues is making people think of only popular parks that are obvious from the clues. However, the clues have been vague enough not to give away the park name. I think that when the name of the park comes out people will be surprised and I think it will be a small park that fits the criteria, just not as obviously as the big parks. If I were writing the clues I would be leading people on wild-goose chases. I wouldn't want the medallion found until clue 12. Edit MessageDelete Message

    dr.s. clue six refers to " with this in view". to me means you must be able to see it from the spot. Edit MessageDelete Message

    I don't know what domes are visible from Beaver Lake. That is why if you read through the previous postings, you will see that I asked if any domes are visible! Edit MessageDelete Message

    has everyone pretty much given up on dome park? Edit MessageDelete Message

    Patrick Budion - 05:17pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2213 of 8457)

    Dr S. Cherokee is not that dug up and it was there in '92. It is a pretty good size park with adequate parking. Edit MessageDelete Message

    Wes Evans - 05:18pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2215 of 8457)

    dr.s I agree that it is a small park. if it was a park like como or phalen, we would already know the name of the park. Edit MessageDelete Message

    ryan, did you find your way to cherokee park yet? Edit MessageDelete Message

    Patrick Budion - 05:20pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2217 of 8457)

    The stack clue could go either way. You may or may not have to be able to see the stack from the medallions location. The clue may just be trying to get you to the park. You can also see the old power plant and stack from the park. Edit MessageDelete Message

    Read #8268 from CASEY!!!!!!

    Often, even when it is in a large park, that does not become clear until the 7th or 8th clue. We have figured out the smaller parks quicker than we landed at Cherokee. We were out to Cherokee this afternoon. Where were all of you? Not huge numbers of people there. Edit MessageDelete Message

    Dr. S. Livingston - 05:22pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2219 of 8457)

    Patrick--Cherokee is dug up and there may be adequate parking but if you are to be able to see the smoke stack from the spot of the medallion then that narrows it down even further. Edit MessageDelete Message

    Patrick Budion - 05:22pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2220 of 8457)

    Typically not in small parks because of parking problems Edit MessageDelete Message

    Wes Evans - 05:22pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2221 of 8457)

    I think people are still convinced that it is at mounds park. Edit MessageDelete Message

    Patrick Budion - 05:28pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2230 of 8457)

    It was in Langford in '91 and in my opinion there have been more and more folks looking each year and therefore it's been in larger parks. Edit MessageDelete Message

    William - Re: #2206 The outdoor places to play at Cherokee were being used today by kids out with their parents. Probably not practical in sub-zero cold, but could still give a kid pleasure if only for a few minutes. Edit MessageDelete Message

    Where is dome park? Edit MessageDelete Message

    ryan quinn - 05:34pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2233 of 8457)

    dome park (actually called goodrich park) is right on the border of north st paul, maplewood, and St Paul. its on 7th ave across the stret from aldrich arena and the golf DOME. oh and also across from goodrich golf course Edit MessageDelete Message

    Josh J. Zenner - 05:34pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2234 of 8457)

    I really think that it is Cherokee Park, just because baker street is right by it and that could possibly go along with "dough" Edit MessageDelete Message

    Beavis - 05:35pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2235 of 8457)

    Every one's taking the dome and double division crap too far... Besides with demo and mode, you can combine them and the spell out "Me doomed" Edit MessageDelete Message

    there's another thing, from what I've seen every one has turned one or two parts from almost every clue into a street name. Edit MessageDelete Message
