so every time its been at a new park the people who found the medallion have been iconoclasts? LOL--your wayyyyyyyyyyy off!!!!!!

Jason, are you still thinking Rice? WHY?

PJ Martain,
I do live on the west side. We did run down to Harriett (sp?) and there were some people there. But very few. From there we went straight to conway via the hwy
52 bridge. I think I might check out Kellogg after work. My gut tells me conway right now. All the clues fit for me but the tome one.
Jason Kluenenberg - 02:26am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15014 of 22142)
I was joking on the Rice park...I honestly have no clue where it is...I was thinking Conway, Highland, and for some reason Hillcrest
Regalman - 02:27am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15015 of 22142)
CONWAY, goodnight all, goodluck

I just got back from Conway. Was in a spot where I was lined up the 4 rows of trees, Could see the 3M and the 1st sign and also the water tower. No luck though,
thought I was on to something. There is a spot where you can see the translucent peak at the Sunray center and the 3M and Water Tower. It is alittle past second
base towards center field on filed #2. It was pretty dug up already though.
CHRIS13 - 02:27am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15017 of 22142)
somebody has probably found it and they are sitting in their cars watching everybody else dig

Rehash Bash! Sunday, February 6 - In the park that the medallion is found. Pot luck picnic! Put the date on your calendar!
The parks that I know of that have been dug up and mostly abandoned this year are Newell, Battle Creek, Highland, Como, Rice, Kellogg, Capitol Mall, Phalen,
Mounds, Linwood and Merriam. This has been a tough year.

As for the 9-5-4 at Conway, that's been bothering me a lot, mostly because I think it holds the key to where to look in the park. The problem is if 9-5-4 is an
address, doesn't that seem just a bit too specific? These clues almost never come out and say something directly, especially not in the third clue. So 9-5-4 as an
address may not actually apply to any park.
Eric P - 02:28am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15022 of 22142)
I've got my map out and I still can't find this Conway Park everybody is sure abut. Where is it??
It is strange that they have not clearly revealed where it is by now.
Regalman - 02:28am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15023 of 22142)
One question b4 I go clue 4- blast from past, value in new, iconoclast, at CONWAY?????

Hey Super-idiot watch your mouth!!!
WestSide Will - 02:28am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15025 of 22142)
gordon c,
Not mad. Just frustrated like everyone else. When you just get back from a park where 100s of people have been looking all day. And directions have been posted
here all day, it gets frustrating when someone asks where the park is.
CHRIS13 - 02:29am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15026 of 22142)
was digging at conway for 2 hours, its pretty dug up
gordon c - 02:29am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15027 of 22142)
isnt there a rec center behind the trees on snelling and about beechwood ave. you cant see it from snelling it is covered by trees. there are a couple tennis courts
back there and a warming house.
Ashlee - 02:30am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15028 of 22142)
I've got the door adorning numbers WOOOHOOOO
Regalman - 02:30am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15029 of 22142)
No gordon just Tennis courts, and the back of new hockey rink.

CONWAY PARK IS RIGHT BEHIND SUNRAY MALL!!
firsttime - 02:31am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15031 of 22142)
When you all say "digging" do you mean in snow only or are people trying to break through the ground?
Regalman - 02:32am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15032 of 22142)
first snow
Superstar - 02:32am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15033 of 22142)
Jonnie Doe - your mom wasn't watching your language when i shot my dough in her!
To all the hunters: I'm logging off but I'll be back tommorow night with some more friendly jokes. Thanks for letting me have some fun! I am the SUPERSTAR!
Think I ain't? Good Luck to all!

I'm not sure I understand your question Regalman, but here's an attempt at an answer. This is what I think Clue #4 says: Studying past treasure hunts can be quite
fun, but you'll find it worthwhile to consider something new, So if you're willing to go against the established traditions, the treasure might belong to you.
Superstar - 02:33am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15039 of 22142)

Possibly, that's all its saying. I believe that's what the first two lines are definitely saying. I do think the word iconoclast may be too strong to be saying just that. If
that's not what its saying, then I think its saying that the medallion is hidden in some unusual way, which would explain why it hasn't been found yet.

Well Allison that is why I was so stuck on Merriam at one point baecause everything led there, and longfellow school was recently imploded and rebuilt. Too bad for
me, so much diggin there, and so much closer than Conway

that 954 clue fits so well with snelling ave south. darn i suck at guessing

yes i am quite aware of that regal. thanks for rubbing that in. lol
Allison Wonderland - 02:45am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15069 of 22142)
Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
I don't think 9-5-4 has to do with sports because then "adorns the front door" makes no sense.
I don't think it is referring to I-94/5 because that is neither keeping score nor adorning a front door.
I'm not fond of it necessarily being a specific address because that's just too obvious and precise to be found in this particular sea of vagueness.
Is there anything that can tie together keeping score, adorning front doors, and those particular three numbers?
Regalman - 02:45am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15070 of 22142)
Gordon, You should have seen the 954 at Merriam, closing times for MON-FRI=9 Sat 5, and Sun 4, right in a line on the door. Town and Country private golf
course 6 blocks away- strict warning due to private, longfellow school, Merriam Websters TOME, St. Thomas 6 Blocks south, St. Thomas More went against
Henry VIII about Catholic church in England, could have swore it was there until translucent peaks, makes me mad such a long drive to Conway.

I was at Conway and I asked an older man if he was in the Water Cooler. He replied, "Is that near the ice rink?" I laughed in his face and said "yes."

When I left Conway wasn't all dug up, but a lot of the obvious spots were. People were working on the hill, though still avoiding the sledding part. There are other
spots here and there, but maybe its not buried in the snow.

Actually have pretty good idea as to where it is at Conway, and as of 1:00, the area was walked over, but not dug, hopefully tomorrow at 11:00 it'll be the same
gordon c - 02:49am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15074 of 22142)
well you seem to know your stuff alot better than i do regal. i was on my way home from anoka and i drove down montreal to my apt and i thought it must of been at
highland because people were actually searching at 2 am. i diddnt know untill i got home and turned on the web tv how serious it actually is
Regalman - 02:51am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15075 of 22142)
Huh, do you hunt, or just saw the people so thought you'd check it out?
Allison Wonderland - 02:51am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15076 of 22142)

At this point its getting hard to tell the difference between what's been walked over and what's been dug.
gordon c - 02:51am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15077 of 22142)
how many clues do they end up giving untill someone finds it?
Regalman - 02:52am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15078 of 22142)
12 clues

If the treasure isn't found by Thursday at midnight, they give the money to charity.

No Allison, this area was still crusty on top except a few footprints, and you could see the left foot, right foot in it. Believe it or not it's there
Regalman - 02:54am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15081 of 22142)
Hey Allison did you see that person earlier today write about Howard ST and Howard Stern being an iconoclast??
gordon c - 02:54am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15082 of 22142)
no regal i was driving down montreal because i live on montreal ave. i was on my way home. there were people searching with flashlights on montreal between
snelling and west 7th. im not searching yet i just thought that it was kind of cool that it might only be buried a couple blocks away
DaBrewMan - 02:55am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15083 of 22142)
People Heed my advice. You fill find it above ground frozen in ice

Do you think we're actually looking for a number that adorns a front door? The only front doors at Conway are to the rec center, the library, and the houses and
apartments that surround it. Out of all those, there is one 459 but I think that's been thoroughly investigated. Maybe its more of a theoretical clue.
DaBrewMan - 02:56am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15086 of 22142)
I am here to help Regal and help is what I am all about
Eric P - 02:57am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15087 of 22142)
Taking the first letter from each paragraph of clues given gives:
KRSAISNFTA
With three clues left, if a CRP is added you could get St Francis Park from that.
Regalman - 02:58am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15088 of 22142)
I know but do you feel like chiseling ice cuz I dont, I would rent a flame thrower b4 I chiseled
Allison Wonderland - 02:58am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15089 of 22142)
Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
Actually I did see that post and thought it was interesting, but then I had to go back to the fact that the clue says BE an iconoclast and not LOOK for one. That
would have been a tidy resolution though.
Regalman - 02:59am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15090 of 22142)
Hey Eric go play in www.wordsmith.org/anagram/ good luck, you'll get all the anagrams you want, and you might find a logical one by this time tommorow
Allison Wonderland - 03:00am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15091 of 22142)

If its above ground, frozen in ice, that still leaves the question, where is this ice?
Regalman - 03:00am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15092 of 22142)
good point
gordon c - 03:00am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15093 of 22142)
that would be interesting regal. that would squash the competition

The Flame thrower was my idea :)
Regalman - 03:01am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15095 of 22142)
The one thing I figured out with 459, is if you unscramble the letters of the alphabet they are you get "die", that'll happen if someone sees you find it! :-)
DaBrewMan - 03:01am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15096 of 22142)
Maybe a crack or split in a tree or even placed in some bushes

Maybe "Numbers keep score and adorn the front door" isn't talking about something at the park, but of something in general, like a famous building or something,
the name of which would suggest something at the park.

come up with anything in Clue 3 or 4?

Someone please tell me if their is a Total station anywhere near Conway
Regalman - 03:07am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15107 of 22142)
yeah, the day of the clue 4, iconoclast, blast, and value were all in the top headlines of the Journal. Coincedence?? or is the Journals press address 954 or something
Allison Wonderland - 03:08am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15108 of 22142)
Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
Clue 4 I think is just saying that's its in a park its never been in before. Someone suggested it may even refer to the fact that its the first time at a rec center. I think its
also possible it may be saying the medallion is hidden in some unusual, unexpected way, but that's all I see in it. To answer another question, I recall seeing a Sinclair
station, and A Firestone something or another, but I don't remember a Total offhand.

Honestly, the Wall Street Journal thing sounds like a coincidence. I have to believe the clue was written before that edition of the Wall Street Journal came out.
Regalman - 03:11am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15112 of 22142)
Allright, one of the clearest clues is 954 as far as wording right, just hard to figure out . Do you agree or not
Regalman - 03:11am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15113 of 22142)
That's what I thought to but what are those odds, pretty amazing
gordon c - 03:11am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15114 of 22142)
now i have an idea where conway park is
Regalman - 03:12am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15115 of 22142)
gordon it is easy, just 94 to Ruth left, over 94 right side look for people or flashlights
Regalman - 03:14am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15116 of 22142)
Allison you still in here

I agree with your assessment of Clue#3 Regalman. Its the only one I feel I haven't figured out.
gordon c - 03:14am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15118 of 22142)
thanks regal nobody would tell me. there is an amoco station at ruth and old hudson . isnt he someone who was famous

Still trying to think of recognizable things with a 954 address. Trying to solve it bacwards even by fitting it to something at or near Conway.
Regalman - 03:15am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15120 of 22142)
ok, now read 7 carefully, 4 says somewhere a four right. Flip lines 1 and 2 of clue 7 and tell me what you would get out of it

Yes, I am quite sure that Henry Hudson was the answer to Clue #6. It says a man of fame with a useful name. What's more useful to a hunter than a Hudson guide?

yeah, I understand the Woodrow wilson theory and it makes total sense, but i you take 7 as- Think of first trees in a line, and think of clue 4 being clear. 4 trees in a
line and take the baseball and basketball theories. and line them up w/ four trees somewhere to get the point it's at??

At Highland, Highway 5 goes along it...There was a historical school there that used to be called school #9, and one of the bus routes for highland, and snelling is
#4..and either 5 or 9 also is a bus route going through Highland
Kristine Harris - 03:22am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15130 of 22142)

Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
94 and Minnehaha Ave as 5 is a popular explanation, but it doesn't seem right to me as those numbers don't keep score or adorn front doors. Bus routes don't
adorn front doors either so I'm not sure about that.
Good One - 03:27am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15137 of 22142)
Allison: Most of the clues are pointing to mainly the south side.. Did you notice if addresses on Conway Ave where on the 2000 block (Score=20)?
gordon c - 03:28am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15138 of 22142)
3m has a building numbered504 on my map
Kristine Harris - 03:28am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15139 of 22142)
ok.....you got the red (the 3m sign) you got the history (wilson) you got iconoclast (conway) a line of trees that leads to a sign (the parks sign) the library the
illuminated peaks (sunray center) the water up high ( the water tower on the hill)
Allison Wonderland - 03:28am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15140 of 22142)
Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
I agree that its at Conway as I can fit all the clues to it. In fact every clue seems to snap very neatly in place except the 9-5-4 clue. None of the explanations I've
heard so far seem as right as the explanations for all the other clues. Maybe I'm wrong, or just asking too much, but I don't think that clue has actually been solved
yet and I'm hoping it may point out the spot to dig.
Kristine Harris - 03:29am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15141 of 22142)
I am sure it is there..right across the street from my house but I have no idea where to search...
Jason Kluenenberg - 03:30am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15142 of 22142)
Ok...lets think a bit here...maybe the 954 has to do with something that adorns a door like the clue, right?. Adorn means to decorate basically. Maybe its reffering to
2 things something about a decoration for the door, and something to do with sports. like my baseball theory.
Kristine Harris - 03:30am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15143 of 22142)
last year I froze my butt off and went right passed the darn thing..
Allison Wonderland - 03:31am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15144 of 22142)
Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
Actually history is Hudson (a man of fame with a useful name, Hudson Guides are very useful) trees in a line is WOOD ROW (Wilson), but I never heard of
Conway coming from iconoclast.
Kristine Harris - 03:31am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15145 of 22142)
the address on the community center was like 2005 I believe
Kristine Harris - 03:33am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15146 of 22142)
I figured might be far fetched but iconoclast is like a rebel or a person the goes against beliefs so I figured maybe like CON WAY...:)

according to my map building 504 is in the area of conway park . maybe 3m has another building 594 close to it. they try to number them close together
Jason Kluenenberg - 03:34am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15150 of 22142)
Is there a church anywhere near Conway?
Allison Wonderland - 03:34am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15151 of 22142)
Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
Actually the community center was 2090. I did notice the 2000 block and I did think perhaps score meant an address starting with 2-0. I went to 2095 with the idea
that 2094 was somewhere across the street and dug up a good section there, but to no avail. Now I'm wondering if this whole clue refers to something not at the
park at all, but something like a famous building that would suggest something in the park.

I really believe Highland is wrong because for a park that size, I think they would have identified it by now. Its usually only with little parks that they play these cat

3m numbers each of thier buildings with a number. it isnt an address. it is building number 504. the reason i know that is because i have a map with all the 3m building
numbers. NOT 3M BUILDING ADDRESSES.

I'm sorry I wasn't clearer. I did know that. I used to have to send couriers over there sometimes. I called them addresses for lack of a better term. But if there was a
building with that number, I don't know if that would necessarily bring 3M to mind for most people.

You could claim Tim Conway is famous. Babe Ruth was certainly famous. Anyone know the address of Yankee Stadium? There is also a Howard St. just to the
east, if you want to call it a border. Old Hudson Rd. is just one block away and I believe Henry Hudson was THE famous man to whom they refer.

You're right Gordon, it is on Energy Park Drive. I was hoping perhaps they were trying to say it was midway through the park. And DaBrewman, I don't think
midway is the right word. Transverse or range or something like that.

I was thinking more in terms of stadiums in the sense of numbers keeping score.

I think I'm going to bed...my brain is toast...Highland, or Conway is my guesses.

I've said this all night SCOREboards for baseball usually have 9 spots for the scores in the each inning, so theres 9...then they usually have 5 circles representing the
ball/strike count you know, 3 balls, 2 strikes at most aka full count...then some scoreboards show who's on what base...and there is 4 bases.

Or is there possibly a game with a front door where those numbers are significant? I can't think of how to tie a game or sport in with a front door at the moment.
gordon c - 04:14am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15227 of 22142)
think you might have something there with that midway stadium because it looks on my map that the 960 block runs right through midway stadium (
north south)
Jason Kluenenberg - 04:15am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15228 of 22142)
I'm guessing those numbers have to do with the scoreboard, and also a door
Kristine Harris - 04:15am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15229 of 22142)
I just meant the address to the communtity center you said was 2090..the heritage estates address is 2040 and bradley house apartments address is 2150...unless
there is a 2050 on conway ave...
Allison Wonderland - 04:15am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15230 of 22142)
Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
Your theory isn't bad Jason, one of the better ones I've heard, but how does it relate to a front door?
gordon c - 04:17am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15231 of 22142)
yes she really does know her stuff .
Kristine Harris - 04:17am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15232 of 22142)
ughhhhh..all the rest of the clues fit conway fine
Allison Wonderland - 04:17am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15233 of 22142)
Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
There is no 2050 Conway because the park (er, rec center) is on the even side of that street in that area of addresses.
gordon c - 04:18am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15234 of 22142)
front ave turns into energy park and it is also the 9 60 block.
Jason Kluenenberg - 04:18am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15235 of 22142)
This involves too much thinking.

I know the other clues fit Conway, but I want to solve this one hoping it will tell me where to dig. And one correction Gordon, Allison is my last name. David is my
first.

No golf at Conway at all. In fact, there is a No Golfing sign there.

I think we all need to search for a legitimate Anagram...cause I'm guaranteeing there is one...Or some kind of word riddle, like the first letters in each clue
Allison Wonderland - 04:23am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15243 of 22142)

Was anyone planning on staying up much longer, or should we all just go to bed?
Jason Kluenenberg - 04:23am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15244 of 22142)
Newell would fit the Anagram "But theres value as well, in the new"
Jason Kluenenberg - 04:24am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15245 of 22142)
And I think if it was Sunray for the translucent peak,...they would have mentioned 2 of them, there is 2 right?
Kristine Harris - 04:26am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15246 of 22142)
I don't know I give up....goodluck to you all I am sure I will see some of you digging tomorrow

Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
Yes there are 2 peaks, but there are also two theories. One is that the treasure is hidden somewhere where either only one peak is visible, or the two peaks are lined
up to look like one. The other theory is that there is a kind of tower on the rec center. It has four sides, but each side is topped by a triangle made of some definitely
translucent material. This may be the real translucent peak, though the Sun Ray peaks are definitely the first thing to catch your eye.

I'm not sure that translucent is the word for that. Translucent usually implies a degree of transparency, such that light can pass through, but not so much that you
could see a clear image on the other side. A concrete building on fire would be just more kind of glowing.
gordon c - 04:34am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15258 of 22142)

I was just wondering about Midway because I thought maybe 9-5-4 was trying to get us to think of Midway stadium. And not so much the stadium itself, but just the
word "midway". I'm still convinced its at Conway.

One more point to ponder.... "adorn the front door" would make everyone think of an address. Maybe this refers to a discarded piece of clothing like a dress or
something.. long shot :)

refering to the 3M sign?

object, though.

DaBrewMan: understand your way of thinking, but please consider this. The clues are pointing more toward the medallion being in something white. The transulent is
referring to the peaks of the Sun Ray mall that are glass/see through.
Ma Ozzy - 07:32am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15296 of 22142)
Gotta love this hunt!!! (I hate it when it is too easy!) I will agree... Conway sounds very good (I know the park well as I am there almost every night - or so it seems
- since my kids participate in many sports and activities at Conway)... But, there are still, in my mind atleast 3 other parks that fit the clues fairly well.... Highland,
BC, and Linwood.... Good luck to all, and I just might have to dig at conway tonight since we have to be there for BB practice and a Boosters club meeting
anyway!

Here's a clue. Look for me digging at the park this morning. I'll be wearing a real goofy patchwork hat. I'm also the guy who wrote the Treasure Hunter's Guide. I
described this park in the book. You should be able to figure out what's red in the sky, especially if you look at the rest of the sentence. Stop by and say hello, my

It is at highland park... The 9 5 and somewhere a 4, I think, is talking about the bus stop at the corner of the water tower block on snelling.. In the bus stop, which is
quite clear, there are 3 bus scheduled, the 9?, the 5?, and the 4. The clue stated somewhere a 4. The schedule says that the times for the the for are at Edgecumbe
and snelling. I cant give anymore away since I almost found it last night. I found the trees in a line that will show a name. Am going there this morning to see what the
word says..

So I think some luckey dawg will dig it up or pry it out this afternoon or evening

Good morning all. I assume everyone is out hunting but thought I'd see if there are any others like me who must work and can't be out in the fun. Anyone care to
discus?

What does "flying downhill" have to do with Conway?
Dagnabbit - 10:01am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15334 of 22142)
There is a water tower behind the Sundance Bowling alley right by Conway. Easily visible and in same direction as 3M logo.
Conehead - 10:01am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15335 of 22142)
OK Kids, here's my 2 cents. (P.S. I'm unable to hunt this year) Clue 2: doesn't necessarily have to be a place that has an organized sledding area. Check out near
the cathedral. Clues 3 & 4: together they point to the Historical Society bldg. Clue 5: St. Paul Technical College Clue 6: John Ireland (Blvd) Clue 9: Capitol Dome
They rest of the clues fit. eeeeehhhhh??????????
tango - 10:02am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15336 of 22142)
discus - sure - I have many a thoughts - Conway - does sound good - but well I'm thinking along the lines of Swede Hollow?? anyone ever heard of it?? it is a pretty
nice size park and you can see the entire downtown from there - quite pretty if I do say so - anyway - looking east through some trees - you can see the 3M water
tower - which I think is a huge clue - there isn't many water towers around that sport the 3M logo -
Anyone ever heard of this park?? let me know...
Dagnabbit - 10:02am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15337 of 22142)
Flying downhill is the sledding hill on the NE corner of Park. Was just sledding with my son there yesterday.
jennyjenny - 10:03am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15338 of 22142)
Two things I question about Conway.
9-4-5 What's that?
and
Conway isn't a park. It's only a playground. In Clue one it specifically says a park. please respond.
jennyjenny
Dagnabbit - 10:04am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15339 of 22142)
Swede Hollow is due south of the old Stroh's / Olympia brewery. What else have you got on it. I'm saying it's Conway.
Dagnabbit - 10:06am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15340 of 22142)
There is no translucent peak at Swede. The capitol dome is NOT translucent, the light source if exterior. To be translucent it would have to diffuse light (frosted glass
etc...).

Jenny Jenny I am mystified by the 954 at Conway also. I thought maybe the four was separate from the 9 and 5 and there is a four sign on one of the backstops. The
is a house number on Conway that is 259 but that seems to be stretching. Maybe the 95 is on whatever the Medallion is hidden in.

Also, someone stated in a prior post that they called the Park and Rec Dept and Conway is classified as a Rec Center not a Park. This technicality bothers me if it is
true. It sure looks like a park though!
tango - 10:13am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15346 of 22142)
Swede Hollow park - is directly next to Metro State College - "Yearning worth learning" -
It is due south of the Brewery - I'm am really waiting on a clue with something in reference to beer - or grain - or something - something with Hamm's I don't know -
You can see the capital - 1st bank building (not that this matters) - the tranlucent panels of the galtier plaza - "the sign" of a cross - a great sliding possibilities....
I was there last night - until 2:30 - I like it - I went to Conway - and well to many people there - crazy - where does one start at conway??
ideas - we all have them - not all of them are right - only ideas and possibilities.... we all can dream 0 best of luck to all
Dagnabbit - 10:16am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15347 of 22142)
9-5-4 are not numbers. They are references. 9 = Baseball, 5 = Hockey or Basketball, 4 = Golf or someother activity (at Conway there is a piece of football practice
equipment used by (4) linemen). All of these are at Conway. They would not put such discript numbers in a early clue (address etc...)

Sno One - 10:18am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15349 of 22142)
yes Conway is so picked over. I'm starting to doubt if its the right Park even though so many clues fit. Seems with all that digging someone should have come up with
it by now! Unless it's hidden in a VERY unusual way or place. (Iconoclast?) Has anyone heard anything about Merriam Park. Are any looking there?
tango - 10:25am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15350 of 22142)
why would one shout if they get numbers right - it's clue number 3 - getting numbers right - doing what gambling - I don't know - I think clue 3 is closer to what the
medallion is actually in - CD Jewel case - a KS95 sticker - a Treasure Island cup - or a deck of cards - getting numbers right - and shouting - winning - game - I
don't know this is pretty damn far - but I really think that clue 3 isn't in relation to location - it's in relation to what it is in.....look at past years -
Sno One - 10:25am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15351 of 22142)
We dug out all around that piece of football equipment yesterday thinking about the four and "shout" but found zero.

Hey Kristine, you just got up too! I'm also starting to think that a)9-5-4 is not an address, at least not one near the park. Perhaps it is the address of something else,
something famous like a stadium, the name of which is meaningful to the park. b) The iconoclast reference may indeed mean the medallion is hidden in some very
unusual way or place. I'm convinced its at Conway, yet it hasn't been found.

I really think this is a run- around puzzle - find one clue at one park that points you to another - I thought that idea out to - this is frustrating me - so
much.....ARGH....
I don't think it's at a park that is so popular - I think they'll keep it so vague until this saturday or sunday - we won't find this until this week - everyone will stay in the
parks that they know and dig - and dig - then we'll all get really upset - because they'll throw this curve ball at us that will throw us all off - like - forget the all the
other clues - this is a clue that you should know.....hey they could do it and p*ss off a lot of people - but hey it's them with the 10k - they can get us to do about
anything for that money....

There is a 459 Ruth St. at Conway, but its been pretty well investigated already. And doesn't it seem strange that they would give us a clue with something as precise
as an address, especially so early. Yet, if its not an address, what do they mean by adorn the front door?
Kristine Harris - 10:47am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15373 of 22142)

Doctor, personally I think they're talking about Henry Hudson and a Hudson guide. Old Hudson Rd. is one block south of Conway.

"For if you hide the medallion, even in your hearts, there will he rake for it . . ."
Stalion checking in here-
Still convinced on Conway, until another clue leads us somewhere else, like last year from Mounds to Cherokee. I love how opinion is still divided.
Alison- The best bet at Conway is to check in unusual places, it might not be buried this year like it has the past few! I did some research on the past decade and the
hiding places are very interesting- not always buried in the snow-though this is usually the case.

There is a field #4 (All the fields are numbered 1-4). The 9 and 5 could be right field and third base, but would you call the backstop a front door? On the other
hand, that field is right in front of the 459 address.

I know everyone thinks that "Round and White and stretched tight" refers to what the medallion is hidden in. However, what if its not. Are there any parks that have
domed fields.
medalionstalion - 10:52am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15382 of 22142)
"For if you hide the medallion, even in your hearts, there will he rake for it . . ."
I'm really starting to think the 954 refference might be what it's hiding in or where in the park to look. Otherwise it would be WAY to complicated, cause, as we
have seen, it could lead us to ANY and EVERY park. So it's got to be a refference to where to search, or what to search for, once you get to the right park.

I wonder if anyone has looked under the bleachers to see if its taped to the underside? But I agree Stallion, its got to be someplace people wouldn't ordinarily look.

Again, I agree with you stallion which is why I've been so desperate to figure the 9-5-4 out the last 24 hours. Kristine, I did go to a spot where the peaks lined up in
front of 459, but no luck. Late last night I tried lining up the peaks and lining up the 3M sign behind the water tower and seeing where they met (and I could see
everything else) but the area was quite dug up already and I was cold.

out for it either.

Regarding Conway: Does anyone know who Conway is named after? If so, do any of the clues point to that person or name (Iconoclast, man of fame, etc)?
As for the 9,5, and 4 reference: none of the interpretations have been convincing. It would be too easy, and weak, if they were simply visible from the hiding location
or an address. They must mean something else.
The Med is hidden in a white balloon - it is the only thing that reasonably makes sense and would be a challenge to find.
To answer any doubters, I believe the official name of Conway is "Conway Heights Park and Recreation Center". I guess that qualifies it as a park

I don't believe iconoclast refers to any person...I believe it is telling you to search a park that the medallion hasn't been hidden in before or at least not for a

have heard suspicions of Hudson....now..trees in a linefrom this a name will appear..Wood Row..woodrow Wilson..also at conway there are a line of trees that have
park signs at each end...translucent peak (sunray center)water on high (water tower on the hill) a large red object in the sky (the 3m sign)....those are my
thoughts....but if anyone else has any ideas please share..I would hate to be at the wrong park...

A few Questions: How do we know the medallion hasn't been found yet? Maybe someone found it and is just having fun watching us all rack our brains trying to
figure the clues out.
Might it be possible that the person who wrote the clues is in this chat room and trying to misguide us?
When do they hide the medallion? If it is at Conway, wouldn't a nearby resident have seen something suspicious when they were hiding it? Maybe the" 9, 5 and
somewhere a 4" is a combination to something.

Sorry Chris, I've met some of the people from the Cooler (not you), what sense would it make for PP to try to throw people off? Unless they are just evil. BUt even
so, the clues lead to Conway. If you go there and check it out it works. If you have other ideas, share

First, about Como's 9th hole...it isn't Par Five!!! And about the "transluscent peak," why do people think it's a dome? Why not a lamp post?
Just a couple of thoughts...

Kristine - thats the best I've heard for the "trees in a line". I don't think they are just reffering to a row of trees at a park.

"For if you hide the medallion, even in your hearts, there will he rake for it . . ."
The tree street name theory - NO, it's a good thought, but how does this lead you to a name? IF you read over the clues from the past few years and then compare
the explanations to the WOOD ROW Wilson theory, it just fits right in.
Was at Conway yesterday, and it "felt" right to me. But yes, not sure where in the park yet to look. . .

I still am standing by Swede Hollow - the park hasn't been dug up to much - few people have been there - and well the clues look good - sure you can make the
clues fit that park - but well anyone can "make" clues fit any park.....so everyone thinks there park is right - the big thing I really - really like about swede - is you can
see the big water tower - you're thinking - yea so I can see one too.... but well this water tower has a red 3M logo on the side of it - this is not by 3M campus off of
Mcnight - it's about 4 miles west of 3M campus....
Klinger Man - 11:55am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15430 of 22142)
The water tower they are referring to also has cellular phone antennas on it. This could lead you to many things..... Trees in a line (telephone poles)...where do you
get the best reception and see the 3M sign and peak... a phone at the park lined up with something... Any other ideas??

Joe Ma Ma - 11:57am Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15435 of 22142)
What does anyone think of the idea that the 9, 5, & 4 point to what the object is hiden in "adorn the front door?" Usually the actual item that the medallion is found in
is hinted at in one of the first 3 or 4 clues.

Wood Master - 12:01pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15442 of 22142)
The first line of today's clue says "Keep out an eye for water on high", could this mean keep an 'i' out of the phrase water on high(i.e. an anagram). If so I came up
with 'he who grant' or 'threw hogan'.
When I tried it on 'for water on high' I came up with 'forge hawthorn' or 'go fer hawthorn'. Any thoughts?

Conway although not where I would have thought earlier is a very good idea! Water on high-- water tower yearnig for something worth learning and Many a "tome"
could refer to the library right next to the park almost sharring land with, Glowing translucent peak-- sunray shopping center has these red light-- 3M building. there
is a sliding hill there. its on wilson and ruth by mcknight rd. what do you all think? ANything else I should address?
Dagnabbit - 12:07pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15446 of 22142)
Don't neccessarily think it's in a baseball. The clue said "ROUND", which implies to me two dimensions (circular). A three dimensional "ROUND" object would be a
globular or spherical. What could a "ROUND" white object be if it is not a baseball? Anyone have an idea???

Chris P.--Historically, the PP doesn't say things just to throw of readers. The clue might be obscure, but it is relevant to the park the medallion is located in.
Also, let's look at the most discussed locales:
BattleCreek Conway Merriam Como Phalen Mounds Irvine Park capitol mall Swede Hallow
What clues fit for each park? I haven't been to all the parks yet, so I don't know all that fits. I'm not lazy, just don't have the days off from work. jennyjenny

I'm just crabby about this now because I was at Conway after clue #3, but then #4 threw me off so I went elsewhere.
Have any of you been out to Hillcrest? There is a library there, and also a hill with a water tower. It is hard to tell which clues to tear apart, and which ones are just
used to rhyme with the others.

We searched at Swede Hollow a couple years ago, it is a nice park, but alas the wrong park. This year Conway does make sense but it is really chopped up. Any of
the clues indicate it's by the playground equipment? (Remember Harriet Island?) This is a lesson in frustration, usually by this time we're with everyone else in the
right park!!

I just came back from searching at Conway Park. Trying to keep all the clues in site (Translucent Dome in sunray....the water tower from 3M...) but its so foggy
hard to see the red "3M" sign on building. Everyone appears clueless!! (me included) but its fun anyways!! Conway is pretty dug up though. I'm relying on "dumb"
luck at this point.
Dagnabbit - 12:39pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15464 of 22142)
If it's in Conway, I think it would be on the west side per clue #2 "too close to the action" and "chances are nil".

The only thing I could think about is in clue #3 when it says, Get them right and you'll shout. They have some of those talking things on the playground at Conway,
but I looked around them last week and didn't uncover anything. Obviously none of us have looked everywhere yet, or it would be found.
Mike Koda - 12:40pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15466 of 22142)
LOL! You all are not even close! :) No matter, I'll go and dig the thing up tommorrow after work. I'll say only these two things..
1: The clues fit PERFECTLY if you know what park to look in... and there are more parks in ST. Paul than just Como and Highland. It's lots smaller than that...
2: To prove I know, I'll get more specific.. the glowing light is a darn streetlight, not the top of any building, and no, water on high is not a tower. The clues weave
into each other, and so open up your history books and merge the old with the new!! Even the clue "quite clear" is a physical structure..not just words.. Now all I
need is clue 10, so I can sight the thing in, and begin digging......

Hey Ouchie - why are you assuming that it's hidden in a religious symbol? The iconoclast reference could also just mean a break with tradition - not necissarily a
reference to a religious symbol.
Personally I think the round and white and stretched quite tight refers to one of those ladies pantyhose containers (Leggs).

Hillcrest is over by the Ford plant. It is not too far from Highland. It is a few blocks from St Kate's. I went there on a whim from Newell one day. If you follow
Fairview S. it runs right into it. The library is sort of dome like, and the lights there make the night as bright as the day.

Maybe round and white and stetched quite tight is a frozen water balloon. But I was thinking, maybe being too technical, but the clue doesn't say that the covering is
round and white and stretched quite tight. It says the quarry is, and that whatever line 1 refers to is itself covered. Perhaps I'm being too literal.

What if "Numbers keep score" is 9 and reference point A. Then "adorn the front door" is 5 and reference point B. When you orient reference points A & B, the
treasure is hidden at where 4 would be. The nine could be the scoreboard at Conway, but I can't say which front door they mean. Its just a guess anyway.

its not really a sledding hill as you think.its too small to be even called that, plus the numbers don`t fit in

Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
I'll agree that Conway is dug up, but perhaps they hid it in some bizarre way (therefore you must be an iconoclast to find it). It would make some sense to do so in a
small park, and would explain why it hasn't been found. I did see some people searching the trees last night.

to go last night, I babysat while my daughter and son-in-law went and yes the first bank 1 is a very good possibility. When I get out I'm going back there and triangle
park before I hit conway (maybe I'm a iconoclast) I just have a feeling about those two places. Anyone else ?

Don't get discouraged by a place being dug up. Remember Cherokee last year. We'd all been digging there soooo long and it looked like every inch of the right area
of the park was dug up, but apparantly not. Conway is still the best bet, but I'm starting to wonder.

I've been watching this board closely for the last few days, and feel bad that I haven't contributed much. But then again I didn't really feel like I had any great insight.
But I CAN tell you that I've been out digging, and I don't think that I've been to the right park yet. Here's where I've been, maybe you too can rule them out. Newell

Is anyone there?
The Pirate - 01:51pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15521 of 22142)
Ok, here's my guesses "translucent peak" = the top of the St. Paul Cos. office tower downtown. "large red object high in the sky" = 1st sign above U.S. Bank tower
"man of fame" = Frank Kellogg, as in Kellogg Blvd. Also, John Ireland, Justice John Marshall, both streets nearby. "water on high" = holy water, i.e., St. Paul
cathedral "something worth learning" = St. Paul Technical College "Studying the past = Minnesota History Center "9, 5, 4" = Interstate 94, and 5th street, which runs
parallel to Kellogg, right beside the History Center.
I'm guessing it's either the triangle park in front of the Cathedral, or the courtyard in front of the History Center. Both are public land in Ramsey County.
Rodd - 01:51pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15522 of 22142)

ive been to highland park and from what i hear about conway park is that its dug up to the dirt and the Med hasnt been found yet.... so i think it might not be there...
although the clues seem to fit it perfectly... i have made all the clues fit highland park perfectly too... and it's really not that dug up

Conway Heights Park, believe me I know where it is I was one of three people to spend the night digging all night last night and till this afternoon, what a MESS!!
Flat Tire, Didn't wear boots,...Geeez what a mess! Everything matches up out there, but there is ALOT of ground to dig and ALOT of snow. For those of you
Highlanders, give in now, your last clue even says "orient" which refers to the east "side". Only 100-125 people out there today-alot less than yesterday, tonights clue
should give away the name, just like I (hate to brag) told you last nites would refer to 3m(mmm) and water tower. Tonights will confirm the park, and maybe a little
extra sumpin! sumpin! of a directional clue within it! See yalls at 11:30, unless of course.......oh well that'll never happen.

It doesn't matter how much it's dug up. It could still be there. Cherokee was dug to hell last year before it was found. Some poor sop could have had it in his/her
shovel and not have noticed it! So don't count out the park just because it's dug up. Find the park that you think fits the clues best, and then get your butt out there
and dig n' search!

highland. Don't you think orient might mean the east side of highland park??? And you can see something red in highland also.

clue 7 "trees in a line" unscramble letters to form "name" of park or "valuble" street "sign" .....

maintainence bldg. front door there is a 995, which is on the edge of the golf course..."FORE"..."and you will shout" FYI

I Wanna Do It Again....I Can't Wait Another YEAR!!!
Don't believe the hype and people that sit at home hittin the bong, and never leaving their apartment to go look. I've been there, its there, more than half of Conway
hasn't even been dug up yet. Maybe 3/4 of it has been walked over, but that means nothing! You should see these people, while me and my 2 partners dug and dug
and dug for 14 hours strait with a 1 1/2 hour break, most people walked around, asked questions, just stood and looked, or sit down and do nothing, very few
people did any digging. The most impressive thing I've seen so far one student(unnamed) dug with her hands for more than an hour and said she wasn't gonna stop,
so we finally gave her our hoe. You gotta dig idiots, they're not going to hand $10,000 over to anyone easily. And get a clue, if ya think its in Highland maybe you
shouldn't be bothering with the hunt, you obviously (haven't even set that bong down yet and explored your possibilites) don't know what you are doing. Conway!
Conway! Conway! Cya nap time back at 11:30 for round 3! Only reason I tell you all this cause I feel like I've been through hell for a day and a half, and don't even
feel like hunting after that effort. See ya out tonite....maybe. :)

even if it means 10 grand.

Clue #1: park, may have a golf course, may not, if it does stay offf the course #2 sledding hill at the park #3 This is Conways biggest stumbling block. But the
numbers could mean anything. I won't go through all the theories, but Conway believers think it's there even though this clue isn't really obvious. #4 Medallion is in a
new park, you will have to break something to get at the medal. #5 Library on premises at Conway #6 Hudson...Hudson's map book (1 blk away), Ruth St.:Book
of Ruth in Bible borders park, Wilson St. TAKE YOUR PICK #7 trees in a row--Woodrow...Woodrow Wilson...Wilson St. #8 Most convincing reason it's at
Conway. Pyramid type roof lit up at night on top of Sunray. #9 Water tower and 3M sign visible from park

iconoclast according to webster..... image destroyer.One who destroys religious images or opposes their veneration.2.One who attacks cherished beliefs or their
institutions. Yes this could be Howard Stern

From 94E take Snelling south to Highland Pky, that is the northwest corner, if you continue south on Snelling to Edgcumbe you will be at the southwest corner.

It is not true, the medallion has not been found. It is not a committee, it is the Pioneer Press editor (like last year) that would make the post!!!!!!!!!! The post would
be on the front page, not on the water cooler page. Please don't waste the time of dumb messages, it only jums up the web page.

two ideas for the big red thing that can be seen at highland. The water high is the water towers on the highest part of land in st. paul and the red thing could be the
thing right next to the water towers, the red light on top of the water towers, or you can also see the big 1 on the first national bank in downtown.

Not on watertower property means if you have to climb a fence(with an no trespassing sign) to get close to the water tower you have a snowball's chance in hell of
finding the medallion because you are trespassing and will have a good chance of being arrested.

the clue writer's logic works, and why trees in a line most likely meas Wood Row.

Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is I think I finally figured out Clue #3 completely. The bad news is, it didn't help. So here goes. I believe the
first line is actually a separate clue from the rest. A score is 20, and I think "numbers keep score" might mean 2020. "Adorn the front door" has to mean address.
The address on the street sign at the corner of Conway and Ruth is 2020. The second part of the clue then I think may really just mean I-94 and 5 (Minnehaha
Ave.). So what the clues is saying is if you look for a park between 94 and 5, where the address is 2020, it will lead you to Conway. This seems to be about
consistent with the level of information you would expect in Clue #3.

What do you mean Conway is too small for the anniversary? Its not like they're going to have a party there. I think they like having it in a small park so they can be
as vague as possible about where it is and have people running all over town.

I'm guessing tonight's clue will pinpoint Conway, tomorrow will give us an idea of where at Conway, and clue 12 will be the "its right here you idiots!" clue. I think
my idea for Clue #3 is right, but even if it isn't, the bottom line is we don't know where at Conway to look anymore. Its pretty dug up now.
Downtown Dave - 04:36pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15681 of 22142)
Nope, not at Mounds. Conway or BC

Sorry Chris, but one of the disadvantages of this forum is that it allows for chicanery--Newell is the favorite every year of a small group of people--This year's clues
fit until number six, so it was an easy sell, but as the game goes on, nobody's buying---Of course, it cold have been Newell but most of the people supporting it in the
Cooler were the same people as last year...

you'll make sure to be there. Aslo, nathan, How do you know this is his first year? I heard someone say it was this clue writer's last year? Where would we go to

will wield HTML tricks and make it appear at the top of the page!!!! Some people just think that's a funny joke. Seems many of these appear when mom isn't

Hey Tom, the water tower behing the Bradley House Apts.
Downtown Dave - 04:55pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15717 of 22142)
After playing this game for a number of years, I find at least one clue, usually an early one, that makes sense only after it is found. For example, when it was found in
como two years ago, they mentioned the number 27 in clue two or three. That ment the number of trees you had to count from the road mentioned in a later clue.
Maybe we don't have the companion clue yet, or maybe its just not decipherable my most of us......I would say if everything else fits, dig, dig, dig.

JT - 05:14pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15749 of 22142)
What we think of 954... At Conway when you are standing in the middle of the FOUR Baseball diamonds, starting at the library and running along Wilson Street you
will find 9 trees, and as you continue onto Ruth street you will see 5 trees running along the curb as well.Four being either the number of baseball diamonds or the
backstop number 4. Rock what do you think? Also there is a TRANSLUCENT peak at Conway.

here if anyones to lazy: Thanks to Cougar
CONWAY PARK: Clue #1: A park in St Paul, no golf course. Clue #2: A sledding hill on one side of the park. Clue #3: Possibly sports score. Baseball, football,
hockey, basketball, tennis all present. Clue #4: Medallion never been at Conway before. Clue #5: Sunray Library Clue #6: Ruth Street - Babe Ruth. "fit in our
game", "a man of fame" "bring the treasure HOME" Clue #7: WOODROW Wilson - a wood row is a line of trees, Wilson Street is by the park. Clue #8: In a
softball, probably on baseball fields. The rec center has a white glass pyrimid on top the front door lit from inside at night, or possibly glass pyrimids at corner of
Sunray Shopping Center, both visible from baseball diamonds.

Conway is off of Ruth Street: The Babe Ruth has been found in many a tome. Also, the 3M sign is the big red mark in the sky. Ittiz Eye thinks my facts are jacked,
but I have a strong feeling its Conway. I'm tired of talking.... Start diggin. Highland is my next favorite....Spent time digging there. Still could be...

The red object is the 3M sign: I thought it was at Newell this weekend, but I think everything points to Conway now, for sure. I
dont think its at highland cuz of the NEW and old hint, the red sign, NO golf, and numbers. Im pretty set on Conway, inside a
baseball.

Starbury's got the clue
Round and white and streched tight...
I'm thinking it's in a baseball that's been cut open so the medallion barely sticks out of it...ahh the wonders of tape

Hi all... first off St. Francis is not the St. who you pray to lost things for ... it is St. Anthony.... the letters to the beginning of the clues are not spelling St. Francis
anymore because clue 9 starts with a K.... I was totally sold on Merriam but now I believe Conway...was there yesterday and today... it all fits.... :)
JT - 05:31pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15783 of 22142)
Digger Bart-Rock brought up St. Francis in saying that the first letter of all the clues and unscramble them it spells saint fra---s and also he has three clues left to fill
the ---. I think The Rock said there is a St. Francis street or something. How did that go Rock if your still out there it was very cleaver!! But I'm still thinking
Conway.
starbury - 05:37pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15784 of 22142)
I meant softball, a baseball IS way too small. About the 9-5, 4 Heres some ideas: Sports(9 players baseball, etc)or
the hours could e like merriam, 9-5, sunday 4 or an address or something else? post suggestions

LOL!!!
Jason Kluenenberg - 05:44pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15788 of 22142)
I think the 9-5-4 has something to do with a baseball scoreboard...9 innings, 5 numbers in a full count, and 4 bases
MushieW - 05:44pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15789 of 22142)
this web crossing thing is driving me nuts! aaaggghhh!!! I think 9,5,4 will be explained in new clues but it could mean, 9 baseball players, 5 basketball p., 4 tennis
doubles, or hwy 94 and hwy 5 close to Conway....or "I don't know yet" which is the one I think mostly!! hahahaha!!
skee-lo - 05:45pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15790 of 22142)
does anybody know why everyone thinks its at conway????
TrAdEs - 05:46pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15791 of 22142)
starbury, i think you're right about 9 5 4 relating to certain sports, 9 players in baseball, 5 players in basketball, 4 players in tennis. Does conway have a tennis court?
The Rock - 05:46pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15792 of 22142)
think the st francis thing was just to confuse everyone.at first i though it would say saints field for newell, the saint francis for highland but todays clue
started with a k. DAMN THIS GUY IS GOOD. Either Highland or Conway. i like this woodrow thing how do the other clues go with it?
Steppin Fetchit - 05:47pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15793 of 22142)
To the Great Randini, If it is not Conway well then they have us fooled. All seems to point to there from Woodrow Wilson to Babe Ruth. Only confusion is 954. But
thats anybodys guess. What do you think? And yes Web Cross Off is A PAIN.

You want Conway? I'll give you Conway.
#1- I believe now the golf courses are actually irrelevant though Conway does have som "No Golfing" signs.
#2- Conway has a sledding hill on the far east side that slopes down to the houses on Howard St.
#3- Numbers keep score and adorn the front door- Conway is on the 2020 block. The 9,5,4 would be I-94 and Minnehaha Ave (5). Conway is the only park
between those two on the 2020 block.
#4- The treasure has never been in Conway before. Thus it would be new to those who have studied past hunts.
#5- For those with a yearning for learning, they can visit the library that is actually on the park grounds.
#6- A man of fame with a useful name is Henry Hudson (Hudson Guide). Old Hudson Rd. is one block south of Conway Park.
#7- Trees in a line = WOOD ROW as in Woodrow Wilson. Wilson Ave. is the southern border of the park.
#8- There are two translucent peaks at SunRay shopping center and one on the rec center itself. Take your pick as to which you prefer.
#9- There is a very large water tower on the other side of Wilson Ave on McKnight that is visible in most of the park. Behind it, the large red 3M sign looms high in
the sky.
Any questions?
starbury - 05:48pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15795 of 22142)
Im not sure if it does, If I remember right, it would. I havent been down there yet though because I dont have a ride:( Ill try to get there 2morrow, so NO ONE
FIND IT PLEASE!
MushieW - 05:51pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15796 of 22142)
I agree with you completely Allison...I came up with that too... and also "score" is 20 years....the key being 20.... remember Abe Lincoln's speach...4 score and 7
yrs ago? a score means 20 also... not just sports related.... whatcha think?? :)
Jackie Martin - 05:51pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15797 of 22142)
I live across the street from Conway, holy people man! I just got home from work and couldn't even drive down the street! Gonna' put on the boots soon, it HAS to
be out there! By the way, who was the dork that posted the phony message about someone finding it?
ani - 05:52pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15798 of 22142)
conway has a tennis court but it also has a baseball field with the #4 on the backstop. the backstop is at the corner of the park where there is a scoreboard (#'s keep
score) and also a sign as if to be the entrance to the park (adorning the door to the park). the clue also states "somewhere a four"...the #4 on the backstop is hard to
see because there is a big tree right behind the backstop
Allison Wonderland - 05:53pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15799 of 22142)
Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
Yes MushieW, that's where I got the idea for 2020. One score is 20. Keeping score could be 2020. And when I saw the sign at the corner of Ruth and Conway
with 2020 on it, I finally figured it out.
John Jackson - 05:55pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15800 of 22142)

Jackie Martin - 05:56pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15802 of 22142)
Okay here is my whole DUMB theory on the 459 thing. There are 2 ballfield backstops on Ruth, 4 and 5. How many people play baseball= 9. Other theory, I
looked last night at the position numbers of the players on the field (1 is pitcher, 2 catcher, 3 first base etc.) Position #4 is second base, #5 is third base and #9 is
right field. So I dug up second, third and right field on those two fields. Obviously I found nothing! This is just what I have been trying to put together on this part of
the clues, I think this is the stumper!

hellojoe - 05:56pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15806 of 22142)
At Conway when you are standing in the middle of the four baseball diamonds starting at the library and following Wilson Street you will find 9 trees in a row running
up to Ruth Street as you follow Ruth Street down to backstop #4 you will count 5 trees. 4 meaning the number of baseball diamonds or backstop #4.

If you take 94 to Ruth St. and go north, its a little over a block away.
LOUGEE MAN - 05:57pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15809 of 22142)
Northwest (orient) the old, flys the Snelling corridor in red planes to the north/south runway approach. That is the red in the SKY.
ani - 05:58pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15810 of 22142)

Jonathan Lee - 05:58pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15811 of 22142)

ouchie - 05:58pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15812 of 22142)
Conway is off 94 and Ruth St. (east St. Paul)
TrAdEs - 05:58pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15813 of 22142)
one of the meanings for orient is "to cause to face or point toward the east" which i think has to do with a park in the east side and bright red object being the 3M
sign to the east
Mike Korpi - 05:58pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15814 of 22142)
Jackie Martin About how many people would you guess?
Jackie Martin - 05:59pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15815 of 22142)

I saw the tires and the True Value sign, but it didn't register anything specific to me as to where to dig. But from where you can see the True Value sign, there's a
"Big W" right there. That's got to be it!

hellojoe - 06:04pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15828 of 22142)
Rock you were saying how the first letter of each clue spells out St. Francis but it doesn't because clue 9 starts with a K. So now we have you convinced on
Conway? To get there take the Ruth Street exit of 94 and go north a couple blocks. You will see the park and all the explanations there.
MushieW - 06:04pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15829 of 22142)
yes I agree that orient means to the east... also 3 clues use the word "OUT" clues 3,6 & 9 there are 3 outs in baseball...think the whole thing ties to baseball very
well!!!! also.... numbers adorn the front door is clue 3 and the 3M bldg has a big "number" 3 which adorns their front...also it is red object high in the sky... whatcha
think? :)

My only luck was that I think I figured out Clue #3, but if I'm right, all it does is point to Conway again, but not where in Conway. By the way, there is no backstop
#5. And if you're going to try and interpret clue #3, please try to explain the whole thing.

I would highly doubt at this point that it is in Como, Highland, Phalen, Battle Creek, or any park of significant size. If it was, they would have given a clearer clue as
to the parks name by now.

The main problem is, where in Conway is it? If my interpretations of the clues are right, all they've narrowed down so far is that its not on the far east side where the
sledding is. My only hope now is the word iconoclast. Perhaps it means we need to look for some religious like thing (probably a cross because that would be the
easiest to make) to break through to get it, or possibly we have to look in some really bizarre place. I had no luck finding those today either.

Jackie Martin - 06:15pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15849 of 22142)
I think tonight's clue will bust it open, they haven't been specific enough where in Conway it is (wouldn't that suck though if it wasn't in Conway?!?!?!)
MushieW - 06:15pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15850 of 22142)
no Allison... they would not want people ruining ANYTHING religious...it would bring billions of hate mail messages!! The iconoclast clue leads you to breaking
tradition...out with the old in with the new... it is in a park it has never been hidden before...that is what I think.... :))
Allison Wonderland - 06:15pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15851 of 22142)

My worry is that tonight's clue will just pinpoint Conway and nothing more specific. Then we'll just have hundreds and hundreds of people digging aimlessly until
there's nothing left because the cluemaster hid it somewhere that nobody's ever going to think to look.

see what it spells out cuz it does say "from this a name will appear" that could lead to a valuable sign...my web tv said the page was too large to display so i couldnt
find out anything to do with STREET cuz thats jumbbled in there somehow.....

Actually MushieW, I didn't mean a formal cross. I just thought perhaps it might be where two branches cross, or two pipes come together, or even the utility poles. I
don't know if anyone would see that as a religious affront.
lillian - 06:17pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15858 of 22142)

That's what kind of annoys me about this treasure hunt. All those people out there hunting for who knows how long, and it still hasn't been found. So what if you
were some genius who happened to figure it out on the 2nd clue? You would still have almost no chance of finding it.

If it is not in Conway, it is in some other recreational park with lots of sports- too many references to scores, games, goals,home, etc. for it not to be. How about
clue 9 being a nod to the Beatles(this may be a stretch)? The word "clue" could be an acronym for Luce(pronounced "lucy") and the next line is ..."in the sky". What
follows that in the Beatles song is "with diamonds"- diamonds refering to the baseball or softball fields at Conway.
Jackie Martin - 06:29pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15901 of 22142)
The only reason I don't think it's Como is because there is too much going on over there during the carnival, but not that it is a real good reason, just MY reason.
LadyC - 06:30pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15902 of 22142)

I'm sure the park is Conway. I can fit it to every clue now. But where in Conway, I don't know. My only guesses are these: 1) it would be somewhere where you
can see all the things mentioned in the clues. 2)If the peaks are really the ones from SunRay and not the rec center, it might be worthwhile to try and line them up so
that they appear as one or more towards the east side, the smaller one is obscured by the library. 3)The iconoclast clue may mean its hidden somewhere very
unusual, but I don't know where. I don't believe the 9-5-4 is a reference to anything in the park anymore. I think it really is I-94 & 5, and the first line is a reference
to the 2020 block.

been in the past but just burried in the snow is always good because it it soooooo hard to find!!!! That's what they want!! I went to Conway and lined everything
up... dug and dug... but I got nothing but a back ache.... will be hard in this fog to do well tonight!

Here's another theory based on almost nothing. If I was the person hiding it, I think I'd want to pick a spot that was somewhat obscure. I can picture them pulling
into the library parking lot late one snowy night. Being across from SunRay there's no one to see him on his midnight mission. Climbing up the hill a little ways he can
see 3M, the water tower, the softball fields and obviously the library. But the library obscures his view of the second, smaller peak at SunRay. Staying low so he
can't be seen over the hill he makes his way towards an inconspicuous spot and tosses the medallion so as not to leave footprints. He watches as it comes to rest in a
seemingly random location and, content with his work, gets back in his car and is off into the night.

Hi Mo Info! Are you thinking Conway too? I sure am... was there today and yesterday!

Conservatory is the translucent peak.

TRIANGLE PARK is about a mile away from Linwood. It was built in 1996 and is new, like in out with the "old" in with the "new" The "FRACK" matches it to this
park. It is stated in clue 6 if you think about it.

There are also clues for Conway in what HASN'T been said. 1)No clue has given a clear indication of the name of the park, which would imply it must be fairly
small. 2)There has been no reference to water, aside from the water tower. That would imply there is no body of water associated with the park. 3) There has been
no mention of woods or large groups of trees. While Conway has some trees, it would hardly be considered wooded.

No Conway

Has anyone here NEVER been to Conway, and still insists it's somewhere else???
I'm willing to lost sleep over this thing, all of it. I'd rather have the satisfaction of finding it than the 5,000/10,000, but hey, I'm not turning it down. So don't worry, I
won't let it go "unfound."

MUSHIE W --I dont know too much about CONWAY. I am doing some research later tonight. It is a possibility for sure!

I was sure it was in Como too until clue #7 which fits Conway far better than Como or any other park.

For anyone who things it at Highland, I was thinking the red thing had to do with the RED No. 1 in the First Naitonal Bank Building seen in the distance, But...I'm
not there anymore. I've abandoned my park. The clues fit there, but they're not looming in your face.

Whoever hid this thing and made up these stupid clues, need to take an absence from the Pioneer Press.

"For if you hide the medallion, even in your hearts, there will he rake for it . . ."
Alison has some pretty strong points there. Those have all been the types of things which are refferenced in the clues. Go back and check them if you disagree. This
doesn't pinpoint Conway for sure, but it does ssupport such a park

What about Phalen?

I agree with Mo Info. I was at Triangle Park yersterday. There were a lot of people there because clue 8 went well with the park.
snow man - 07:13pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#15997 of 22142)
I think it is in a baseball and the 9th clue means the downtown with the blinking 1 on top of the bank

Red thing up high is the NO 1 .

The clues have started, as well as the hunting. Share your suspicions and tips here. Note: The medallion is not adjacent to or on the grounds of any public water
tower. well we know its not neer a water tower
