I'm still convinced it's at Conway!
Allison Wonderland - 07:19pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16002 of 22142)
Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
I think a baseball is too small. A softball maybe, but that seems like an awful lot of trouble. If clue #9 does refer to what its contained in, I think a frozen white water
baloon has a better shot. My gut feeling though is that they were just talking about softball in general so as to refer to the softball fields. But then again, maybe they
meant to do that just to lure people to the softball fields, if only subconsciously.

can someone tell me what "frack" means?
Allison Wonderland - 07:23pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16004 of 22142)
Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
I don't know how many people are still here after that last bout of web crossing error, but as for myself, I think I'm going to get some dinner, watch Ally McBeal,
and then ponder the meaning of $10,000.
Allison Wonderland - 07:25pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16005 of 22142)
Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
And sharon, if its just you and I here, I don't know for sure, but I heard people say frack was part of Linwood Park or something. I wouldn't worry about it though.
The medallion's not there.

"For if you hide the medallion, even in your hearts, there will he rake for it . . ."
Tim L - THats not neccisarily good logic. The PP are just telling us NOT to tresspass the private land which houses water towers. Just as clue one says don't go on
a golf course and has no relevance as to whether or not the right park HAS a golf course in it.
Ashlee - 07:26pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16007 of 22142)
Allison, Ally's not on tonight.. TV Guide Awards... Woohoo.. <sarcasm> Personally, I'd rather watch McBeal..
Amy Anderson - 07:27pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16008 of 22142)
Ally McBeal isn't on tonight...the TV Guide Awards are on. But they are kinda good... I am going to go out tonight, after the next clue cuz i don't have class till noon
tomorrow...so i figure..why not.
good luck (again)
:)
medalionstalion - 07:27pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16009 of 22142)
"For if you hide the medallion, even in your hearts, there will he rake for it . . ."
I'm Audi5000. On may way to claim my medalion. Alison, some food for thought: $10,000 is about how much it costs to buy a real true Stallion. If you get my drift .

marypoppins - 07:28pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16010 of 22142)
Turn off the tv and get out there and look!!
Ashlee - 07:29pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16011 of 22142)
Same here Allison, cept I don't have class tomorrow. I'll be in the leopard hat for anyone who wants directions to the PRECISE location :) hehe

If anyone wants to say hi, I'll be at Conway, smoking a cuban and bitching about how the highlanders weren't the only iconoclasts, nor the most famous, in history.

Eagle Eye - 07:30pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16016 of 22142)
Hey hunters! How's the snow at Conway? I'm sure it has gotten wet and heavy, but is it disappearing with this rain? I hope our luck holds and we don't get a couple
of inches of ice on everything. If that happens we might not find it until spring!
Good luck to everyone going out tonight! I've gotta go buy a new digging implement. The one I was using last night broke!!!
Lindsay - 07:30pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16017 of 22142)

Someone convince me it's NOT at Conway!

Amy--I am too!! its really getting annoying!!

All clues lead to Conway... Must be there- Who Agrees???
Jackie Martin - 07:38pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16025 of 22142)

I was at Conway last night, and i looked for about an hour. It takes me about 25 minutes to get there...for some reason, I can't justify going out there again tonight,
but I probably will, because there is that slight chance (hey, it's better odds than winning the lottery) of finding it - this time i might bring a flashlight and wear boots...i
wonder how many people will be at conway after 11:30?? I am becoming obsessed about this - scary. but it's fun. I was thinking, if it were not for this message
board i would not have a clue about "conway" park because i'm not from st. paul and i >never< go to st. paul...i think i'll go there more so i can be better prepared
next year. okay i'll stop rambling now

If tonights' clue leads to Conway, expect most people yet.
freshman - 07:40pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16029 of 22142)
hello everyone! How's the search going for you?
Jackie Martin - 07:40pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16030 of 22142)
Yep, I'm at Conway at 11:30!
Jackie Martin - 07:42pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16031 of 22142)
Ya' know I just want it to be over just to know where the dumb thing is, not like I really believe I have a real chance to find it, but just to know, make sense?!?!?!?
freshman - 07:43pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16032 of 22142)
So, who thinks it's anywhere besides Conway or Highland?
Eagle Eye - 07:43pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16033 of 22142)
Amy A: You are just *now* becoming obsessed with this??? Get with the program! :)
Russ P. - 07:43pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16034 of 22142)
I was at Conway earlier today and last night. I'm sure it's there, but I don't know where to look.
AllieGo - 07:43pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16035 of 22142)
eitsaeb...please tell me you've moved to Conway. I dug there all day.
Jackie Martin - 07:44pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16036 of 22142)
Is anyone just dying to see the next clue- or is it just me?!??!?!?!
theMAPMAKR - 07:45pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16037 of 22142)
Hello everyone. Its getting close to the point where the treasure will be found so this is probably the best opportunity to take a tally on your interest in my producing
an update to my TREASURE HUNTER'S GUIDE TO THE PARKS. Just click on my name "theMAPMAKR" and send me a note. Any suggestions to make it
better are welcome. Yours truly, Steve.

ALLIE GO... you looked WHERE all day?
Amy Anderson - 07:47pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16043 of 22142)
Me too Russ. I think it's easier said then done, "yeah it's at conway" or something..but once you're there, you can only walk around diggin up stuff for so long.. I
have a question: If you are not registered, and say you find the medallion, can you quick register and get a button - and then turn the medallion in? Just a question.
Ashley - lucky that you don't have classes tomorrow! you can spend allllll day searching! hehe
digby - 07:47pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16044 of 22142)

Russ P. - 07:49pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16052 of 22142)
You have to have registered the button by 1-30. I thought about that too.
Aerial Phone-Guy - 07:49pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16053 of 22142)
I just came back from Highland...Cross it off your lists. The one place things fit is by the water towers and sledding hills but they are located at the edge of the golf
course and they have people from the water department and the golf course chasing people away. The other areas of the park dont seem to ift and there is not many
people out there at all.
We also went to Linwood...Lots of cars but not many people. They must have been in the ec cene. The clues dont fit well in there. Who has directions to
Conway???
Jackie Martin - 07:49pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16054 of 22142)
I teach at St. Columba in St. Paul.
digby - 07:50pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16055 of 22142)
what is the line of trees that lead into a name also cant fiugure that out on my map
freshman - 07:50pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16056 of 22142)
Oh. What class?
Jackie Martin - 07:51pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16057 of 22142)
For those of you looking for directions to Conway, go east on 94 to the Ruth St. exit, take a left off the ramp- you'll run right into it. Stop by and say hi, I live in the
apartments across the street!
tim luchsinger - 07:51pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16058 of 22142)
has any one thought about the word "orient" ? Its not to orientate you its like the airline. north west orient? mabey its close to the down town airport?....what do ya
think about that...plus it has lots of red lights
Lu Hunt - 07:51pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16059 of 22142)
Hey Mushie, are you out there?! I think we should go Mush-Mush threw the snow and find that darn piece of metal.
Jackie Martin - 07:51pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16060 of 22142)
I teach first grade, the cutest kids in the world!
freshman - 07:52pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16061 of 22142)
Are you guys/gals that are on now usually on at like 11:30 chatting every night? Or am I in the company of stragers?
digby - 07:52pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16062 of 22142)
stil like linwood and the highland watertowers are clearlly visible from there
Jackie Martin - 07:53pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16063 of 22142)
I like the airport idea, but how do the other clues fit in?

digby - 07:54pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16067 of 22142)

Aerial Phone-Guy - 07:54pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16068 of 22142)
From where at Linwood??? I couldn't see the towers as well from there! Not even the red lights.
Russ P. - 07:54pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16069 of 22142)
How many people is there looking at Conway Park right now???
2 patty's - 07:54pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16070 of 22142)
Just got back from Conway, about 300 people there. It all fits no doubt.....just don't know the exact spot. Everything seems to line up to form a triangle shape.
Tonight's clue better be good, don't have much hair left!!!!!
MushieW - 07:54pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16071 of 22142)
But Lu Hunt... it is not metal... it is PLASTIC!!
DIG 4 TEN G - 07:54pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16072 of 22142)
was at the "park " last nite, dign like crazy. the park w/a "C". the clues all point there, but can anyone tell me what they think "blast" might mean?
Jackie Martin - 07:54pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16073 of 22142)
No tennis dome at Conway, but tennis courts. Yeah, I think it's at Conway, all the clues fit SO well!
digby - 07:55pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16074 of 22142)
if u look south west u can see both and whatever is inbetween them ariel is it a school tower havnt been there
Amy Anderson - 07:55pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16075 of 22142)
LOL Jackie...party at your place! (just kidding of course) Hey freshman, i remember you from last night.
Lindsay - 07:56pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16076 of 22142)
Jackie Martin & Others--The airport might be a possiblity cause there are a lot of red lights...like the twirling flashing lights, that are in the air...

digby - 07:57pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16078 of 22142)
jackie what about the trees in a line that give u a name like line of wood linwood
Jackie Martin - 07:57pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16079 of 22142)
I understand the red lights at the airport, but if that's all it has, it can't be there!
Dingdong Didillydias - 07:57pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16080 of 22142)
A LINE OF TREES = A WOOD ROW = Woodrow Wilson, one of the streets that borders Conway is Wilson! Orient = the Far East, Conway is on
the far east side of St. Paul! Any more questions?
Aerial Phone-Guy - 07:57pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16081 of 22142)
digby...it could be gloria dei church or the old brick water tower...which does have a translucent peak...
freshman - 07:57pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16082 of 22142)
Amy--how can you remember me? I don't contribute much (sorry). Yeah, I was on lastnight
MushieW - 07:58pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16083 of 22142)
Hey Lu Hunt... maybe it is hidden in a beanie baby... know how you are so obsessed with those dang things!! LOL

300??? Oh my goodness.

The medallion is at Conway!!!
freshman - 07:59pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16086 of 22142)
Hey, is Conway a big park?
tim luchsinger - 07:59pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16087 of 22142)
you can see down town from there plus the water tower up on the hill ...maybe battle creek park or mounds park...maybe the red light is the first state light down
town?
Jackie Martin - 07:59pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16088 of 22142)
Okay, the trees in a line lead me to this: Line of trees= Wood row, Woodrow Wilson= Wilson Ave. Wilson Ave. is on the south side of Conway.
Dingdong Didillydias - 07:59pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16089 of 22142)
A Translucent Peak....there are two glass pyramids on top of Sunray shopping center...they light up at night and you can clearly see them from
Conway...

Conway park is fairly well sized,but not huge

I am thinking Triangle Park. I am going there in one hour. I was there on Friday. LOTS OF ACTION

Lu Hunt - 08:00pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16093 of 22142)
Oops Mush, as you can tell I have never found that beautiful piece of plastic. To anyone who may still think it's at Highland, I was there this afternoon, not much
going on. Nothing red in the sky either. Counting down to 11:30.
freshman - 08:00pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16094 of 22142)
just so you all know, the # to call to see if the medallion has been found is 651-228-5464. So far, no one's found it. Phew!
Jackie Martin - 08:00pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16095 of 22142)
No Conway is not very big, BUT pretty wide open!
Dingdong Didillydias - 08:00pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16096 of 22142)
Water on high = There is a water tower to the north of Conway on a hill
A large red object in the sky = behind the water tower you can clearly see the large 3M on their headquarters building.
mikie - 08:01pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16097 of 22142)
The red object has nothing to do with an airport. Drop that idea. The red 3M sign is very visible, right next to the water tower, at Conway
digby - 08:01pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16098 of 22142)
is the red light at conway , must be the 3m logo am i correct
MushieW - 08:01pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16099 of 22142)
tim... to orient you...orient=east east side park.... Conway!
freshman - 08:01pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16100 of 22142)
Where is triangle park? I've never heard of it
Jackie Martin - 08:02pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16101 of 22142)
I'm telling you, ALL the clues point to Conway, I'm thinking they hid it just someplace SO obscure that it will take one of the last clues to figure it out! But I'm
convinced it's there!
Dingdong Didillydias - 08:02pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16102 of 22142)
Conway is larger than the AVERAGE park...it is about 24 square acres...no where near as large as Como...but it is by no means a small park.
freshman - 08:02pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16103 of 22142)
dingdong--you're very helpful, thanks a bunch!

Dingdong Didillydias - 08:03pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16105 of 22142)
Is anyone paying attention...I am explaining every clue and how it points to conway...ask me about any clue...I have a theory for most...come on...
Russ P. - 08:03pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16106 of 22142)
On the far side away from the ballfields, near the sliding hill, there is a perfect view of the 3M sign, 3M watertower, and peaks on Sunray
Grant Michaels - 08:04pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16107 of 22142)
Okay it is Conway,
MushieW - 08:04pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16108 of 22142)
numbers adorn the front door ... also the 3 on the 3M ....it is the "Front" of their bldg.... clue 3 ... :)
digby - 08:04pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16109 of 22142)
translucent is tape i beileve ( 3m) quarry minning 3m name stands for i think minnesota minning and materials
Jackie Martin - 08:04pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16110 of 22142)
Dingdong, we must be on the same wavelength, ALL clues are just screaming CONWAY!
freshman - 08:04pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16111 of 22142)
dingdong...i'm paying attention! You're a kind, kind person. How do you explain the st. francis thing? Is that just a coincidence?
digby - 08:04pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16112 of 22142)
translucent is tape i beileve ( 3m) quarry minning 3m name stands for i think minnesota minning and materials
mikie - 08:04pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16113 of 22142)
Dingdong, what do the numbers 9, 5, 4 mean?
I C Stars - 08:05pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16114 of 22142)
hey dingdong -- we went through all that last night. Do you have any insights to where in Conway it may be?
Dingdong Didillydias - 08:05pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16115 of 22142)
Read clue six and think of these words and phrases...a man of fame...game...home.
Home = home plate Game = Baseball Famous Man = Babe Ruth
Ruth street borders Conway on the west side of the park.
It is not on home plate of any of the fields though they have been dug up quite a bit.
Clue 8: Round and white and stretched quite tight...it is obvious to me that the medallion is hidden inside a hollowed out softball...what do you think?
Russ P. - 08:06pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16116 of 22142)
3M stands for Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Co.

digby - 08:06pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16119 of 22142)
thought white and tight was a tennis or golf dome
freshman - 08:07pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16120 of 22142)
sorry jackie. It's just no one ever explained it to me
Dingdong Didillydias - 08:07pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16121 of 22142)
I C Stars I think tonight is going to be the classic give away clue...I have lived by Conway for 20 years and this is just the thing I have been waiting for...
Mr. Know It All ! - 08:07pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16122 of 22142)
yo wuz up "G" the medallion is at conway. (1) in park in St.Paul. (2) conway has a little sliding hill. (3) for the doors because they are numbered. (4) it hasen't been
at conway and it says study the past. (5) if your yearning for learning where do you go? the libray. (6) man of fame is conway. (7) the qlue quite clear is number 5.
(8) whats round and white and raped real tight? hockey tape. (9) red= 3M sign and water= tower
Grant Michaels - 08:07pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16123 of 22142)
Dingdong has the Medallion, he is just watching us squirm.
mikie - 08:07pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16124 of 22142)
And Dingdong, what about yearning for learning? Is that just the library?
digby - 08:08pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16125 of 22142)
hey ding dong what is the popular outdoor activity there any ideas , cause taste of minnesota is at the capitol pretty popular and its not a sport its an activity
green. - 08:08pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16126 of 22142)
Failed Marketing Ploys: "I cuss, you cuss, we all cuss for asperagus."
The water tower is to the *east*, not the north, of Conway.
And the 3M logo that is seen from Conway is not on the front of the building - which faces south/94 - but is on the *west* side. There is more than just one 3M
atop Bldg. 220.
3M stands for Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing.
MushieW - 08:09pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16127 of 22142)
Digby... the round and white clue surely describes what the medallion is hiddin IN.... :))
conjerr - 08:09pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16128 of 22142)
dingdong, can you explain how the #s 9,5,&4 fit into conway park????

If you are at Conway tonight look for me...I am a big ogre type person...I will get more specific later...I want to meet up with some people just to see who I am
talking too...I think it would be interesting
5000G - 08:09pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16130 of 22142)
ok then...what's the translucent peak?
(Deleted item originally posted by Sandberg on 08:09pm Feb 1, 1999 CST)
Jackie Martin - 08:09pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16132 of 22142)
It's in Conway, have we all agreed on that, or does anyone think otherwise and can justify their answers?
Russ P. - 08:09pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16133 of 22142)
Tonight should be the night the clue somehow states what park the medallion is at. I'll be heading to Conway shortly after 11:30
ouchie - 08:10pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16134 of 22142)
hey freshman, how are ya? I was counting on you to find this thing today!!
2 patty's - 08:10pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16135 of 22142)
just wondering... it says peak, not peaks, so maybe just one of those two peaks have to be in view.
Grant Michaels - 08:10pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16136 of 22142)
LOL Medallion
Jackie Martin - 08:11pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16137 of 22142)
Translucent peaks= Sun Ray mall.
Dingdong Didillydias - 08:11pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16138 of 22142)
HINT: Mr Know It All does not know it all...that one was free!

Anita, the name is "useful" in finding the medallion.

Gee, I sure hope the white and stretched quite right doesn't mean it will be found in another diaper? I found a dirty one once--e-gads!! Hey Mushie, caramel rolls
sound great! And I like the way you plan to spend the dough, Beanie Buddy!

ATTENTION ALL YOU HUNTERS THERE IS SOME GUY IN A BLUE CAR , RED FENDER AND REDDRIVER DOOR DRIVING AROUND
CONWAY PARK SHOWING A ROUND OBJECT OUT HIS WINDOW TRYING TO MAKE EVERYONE THINK HE'S GOT IT . AFEW PEOPLE
THREW DOWN THEIR SHOVELS AND SUCH THINKING IT WAS OVER SO ALL BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THIS UNTRUSTING SOUL AND
IF YOU GET CLOSE ENOUGH GIVE HIM A WHITE WASH FOR ME AND ALL THE OTHERS WHO HAD THEIR HEARTS FALL TO THEIR
FEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eagle Eye - 08:14pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16150 of 22142)
The man of fame could be Henry Hudson. Hudson Road is very near Conway Park, and Hudson map books (tomes) are very useful.
Russ P. - 08:14pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16151 of 22142)
I think it is in a location where you can see one of the peaks, The red 3M sign and the 3M Watertower. I thought about somewhere near the watertower down the
sliding hill by Wilson St., but Apartments on Wilson St. block the view of the peaks from the bottom of the hill.
Jackie Martin - 08:15pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16152 of 22142)
Okay, the 459 thing, there are a couple things it may be, I guess highway 94 and highway 5 (Minnehaha Ave.- I am told, but don't know personally) are north and
south of Conway. Other option, trees lined up on Wilson and Ruth- count them, 9 on one side, 5 on the other, all point to the backstop #4 at Conway! But no luck
for me so far-- OBVIOUSLY!
digby - 08:15pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16153 of 22142)
c i wasnt our but should be tonight
Dingdong Didillydias - 08:15pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16154 of 22142)
Hey MORON if Ruth is the name of a street by the park then I would say that Babe Ruth is a pretty friggin useful name considering the fact that the
point of the clues is to point us to the proper park. If a tome is some type of book I don't know how you can say that Babe Ruth's name is not in many
books??? Plus I believe that game and home are two baseball references.

Conway is packed...
Jackie Martin - 08:17pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16158 of 22142)
Dingdong, you are so totally right about Babe Ruth! Don't worry!
D Home - 08:17pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16159 of 22142)
It is at Midway Stadium. "Why do you say"... 954 everyone thinks the obvious "some address number" Midway Stadium Telephone number to order Saints tickets
is #644-6659.....954 there is your numbers backwards don't rule out the Stadium just yet....
freshman - 08:17pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16160 of 22142)
ouchie-oh, me too. I'm just starting to be a regular, I guess :-)
Dingdong Didillydias - 08:17pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16161 of 22142)
Does anyone in here ever chat with Vicki Kasal...she is in here a lot...she is my fiancee...she is medallion crazy.
digby - 08:18pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16162 of 22142)

MushieW - 08:18pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16163 of 22142)
And clues 3,6 & 9 have the words out in them...that is 3 OUTs as in baseball.. I really think it is hidden in a baseball... :)
freshman - 08:19pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16164 of 22142)
I've talked to vicki k, she said she'd IM me and never did
Russ P. - 08:19pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16165 of 22142)
I'm starting to wonder whether or not it is at Conway. You'd think it would be found by now with all of those people there.
ouchie - 08:19pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16166 of 22142)
isn't midway stadium privately owned and off limits?
noelle - 08:19pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16167 of 22142)
The clue about "the past" I think just had to do with the "Heritage Estates" the apartment bldgs across the street from conway. I work at 3M and was over there
during my "extended" lunch. Lots of people digging today...but all seem to have different areas they are looking at. That 9-5-4 thing really has me bugged except
Conway rec center has a phone number with a 9-5-4 in it.

Jackie Martin - 08:19pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16171 of 22142)
I tought the baseball thing too, maybe a softball, I don't quite know the size of the medallion.
Sandberg - 08:20pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16172 of 22142)
Hey MORON, if you are so totally right then what are you doing here? You should have your grubby little hands on the medallion by now, shouldn't you? Oops,
sorry, get carried away sometimes you know...
digby - 08:20pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16173 of 22142)
d home they wouldnt put it there to much damage
Eagle Eye - 08:20pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16174 of 22142)
Dingdong: You are absolutely right about the man of fame - the clue *could* be in reference to Babe Ruth - no doubt about it.
Russ P. - 08:20pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16175 of 22142)
Clue 1 usually doesn't tell much. Except you never know this year.
Grant Michaels - 08:20pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16176 of 22142)
CLUE NO 10.
If hunting for the treasure makes you twitty. Then you'll be happy to see. Because all of seem to be jitty. Then go on a shopping spree.
Jackie Martin - 08:21pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16177 of 22142)
What other clues have pointed you to Midway Stadium? Just the numbers-- not gonna' fly I don't think. It's gotta' be Conway!
D Home - 08:22pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16178 of 22142)
Midway Stadium is run by St. Paul Parks and Recreation Dept. It is considered a Park.... Much history about ths Saints
Dingdong Didillydias - 08:22pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16179 of 22142)
Two years ago when it was at Como I think hundreds of people must have walked right over the medallion before it was found. There is still a lot of snow that is not
dug up yet at conway.

Russ P. - 08:32pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16199 of 22142)
I think it probably is at Conway. But I think that most people have one clue wrong- Iconoclast means not going by tradition... Maybe it's in a sign or under a bench
rather then in the snow.

MushieW - 08:35pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16216 of 22142)
5000g .. Iconoclast means it will be in a park never it has never been hidden in before....go against tradition...in with the new out with the old... get it? at least that is
what I think! :))
freshman - 08:36pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16217 of 22142)
thanks, mushie! i agree

D Home - 08:36pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16219 of 22142)
Russ P. not going by tradition means check Midway Stadium. if that's not going against tradition I don't know what is....
Russ P. - 08:36pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16220 of 22142)
It's most likely by the sliding hill- What do you think???
Grant Michaels - 08:37pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16221 of 22142)
Be there tonight at Conway Park I will have beer and Brats and driving a ford pickup red in color.

No Russ...they do not want people digging on ANY sliding areas...ruins it for the kids to play...people really get mad when those areas get dug up and ruined for
sliding especially after kids take the time to make the hills smoothe...etc... :))

I think the valuable sign is simply the Wilson Street sign because it comes from Woodrow(trees in a line) and will bring you to Conway park

Russ P. - 08:44pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16240 of 22142)
I don't think that it is ON the sliding hill, I just think that it is by it because there is a perfect view of all three objects from there.
B. E. - 08:45pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16241 of 22142)
glowing translucent peak- Como conservitory

Just got back from Conway- 99% sure its there, all the clues say it. About 350 people at least were All over, but its pretty big. I dont think anyone will find it until
another clue narrows the spot in the park down (unless someone gets REALLY lucky), but its there, you can tell.

Isn't Conway just a recreation center and not a "park". It doesn't call it a park in my Hudson book.
Also, the WOODROW would be a little more convincing if the street name was actually Woodrow and not Wilson.
HOLLY ANDERSON - 08:53pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16258 of 22142)

Ouchie, just logged on. Your right, go with your Dad. I remember when my Dad used to pull me out of school to look for the treasure. Since he's gone this is one
memory I'll never forget. We had great times together looking for the treasure, some years soo close, other years laughing how far away we were from it. All in all
the stories we can tell and the memories I have spending time with my Dad looking for the treasure, is worth more than the prize of finding it.

Sister Sister - 09:05pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16278 of 22142)
You would think that if it was at Conway, they would have referenced Sunray shopping center somehow. If that's in tonights clue, I will be convinced its at Conway

Sister Sister - 09:07pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16280 of 22142)
Nobody has answered how they know Conway is for sure a park and not just a recreation center. There are hundreds of rec centers in St. Paul. The first clue says
specifically it is in a park.
eitsaeb - 09:07pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16281 of 22142)

"I still haven't found what I'm looking for"
The explanation for Conway is this: it is the result of a group phenomenon similar to that involved in creating a mob where one completely ludricrous idea becomes
reality and everyone follows...no offense to anyone. That's just my explanation for Conway.

I believe the iconoclast clue is saying its somewhere different. Just like studying the past can be a blast, but there is value as well in the new. They are saying - forget
where it has been in the past - we've put it someplace else this year.
I just don't get the 9-5-4 for conway and the "adorn the front door". I'm sure they wouldn't reference someones address - that could lead to big problems.
MushieW - 09:14pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16311 of 22142)

starbury - 09:15pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16314 of 22142)
Thanks to Allison Wonderland:
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?

E.R. - 09:18pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16326 of 22142)
You Know what's funny,2 days ago, I actually thought that the Med. was at Newell Park.I went by there today and there wasn't a single person there.Than I thought
it was at Merriam Park,which I think it still could,but I think you guys have convinced me mostly about Conway,even though I haven't been there yet.

does conway have those old warm up shacks with the transluscent green windows running along the top of the roof.

around today? I wish you good luck!

Russ P. - 09:20pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16335 of 22142)
It says it is not near a PUBLIC watertower. The watertower by Conway is owned by 3M, which is on PRIVATE property!

If we have to be an Iconoclast, we turn away from images, etc. The sun ("Hyperion", "Ra", depending on your culture) has always been a source of worship, an
image if you will. From Conway, you can see the Sun Ray shopping center sign, but only the top of it, saying "Sun". Looking south from the corner of Wilson and
Pedersen (sic),you can see a True Value Hardware sign (perhaps the valuable sign?). I'm thoroughly convinced its at Conway. I just can't believe the people who are
trenching the snow as if its buried under a foot of month and a half old snow. I guess its not as bad as the people at highland who blew quite a bit of trail with their
snow blower (good idea. lets chop up the plastic medallion whilst we're at it.)
For those who care, the clogged server effect you're noticing is the slashdot effect. It is what happens when a web server gets severely hit due to an announcement
on a high volume news site. Just a technical note. In fact, if you hurry and go to slashdot, there's a link to an article describing the effect.

"I still haven't found what I'm looking for"
92: The only reason I asked is that the Med has rarely been found at night AND by one person. I quit going @ night because I figure I might just miss it if I dig it up -
the odds are against me. Any opinion? Should I just dig till I die?
Vicki Kasal - 09:21pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16340 of 22142)

Kristine... I think 9,5,4 is hwy 94 & hwy 5 near conway... also could be referencing players as in baseball, basketball and tennis(doubles) but am thinking there will
be more meaning to it in future clues... could mean the 4 baseball fields at conway also... but am sure of this... I DONT KNOW FOR SURE!! LOL

Ares - the medallion very well could be under a foot of month old snow!! Look at last year at Cherokee! That thing must have been turned over twelve times before
someone actually found it. It's been found under ice before. I think they go out and hide the thing when there is a forecast for lots of snow.

The numbers 9,5,4. On the topedo it has the year 1945 the torpedo is red so thats the red object in the sky the water high, its right on the shore of como lake flying
downhill, the slide the winter carnival is in view studying the past.........
Chris P - 09:26pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16351 of 22142)

As someone pointed out yesterday, about mid way between Wilson and Conway is the address 459 Ruth. However, its the wording of the clue (a 9 and a 5 and
somewhere a 4) tells me that we're going to find the 9 and 5 in a different place from the 4.
B. E. - 09:27pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16356 of 22142)

No, it says:
Keep out an eye for water on high
This could be an excellent clue
A large RED object high in the sky
Will also help to orient you
Also, Orient means East Side

will shed some light on location within park (east or west at least). Anyone going out tonight after clue?
rocketgirl - 09:30pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16366 of 22142)
I know this may sound crazy...but i like to look at all angles and I've never been convinced of conway. I was at hidden falls today and i saw "high water" and I saw a
red object in the sky. It started raining and i still had work clothes on ...but i imagine i could find a translucent peak on the other side of the river if i tried. I also
imagine that the red object and high water would be seen at crosby which is right across the river from fort snelling (surely thats a blast from the past)? what do you
think? I haven't even tried to squeeze all the other clues in...but i'm sure you could. I just have a real gut feeling that conway is NOT it.
Kristine Harris - 09:30pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16367 of 22142)

No, I can't go out tonight. I'm like Donut Man, except I'm female. Husband and kids come first. And sleep. Maybe next year. Anyway, about Highland: The trees in
a line are PINEhurst, BEECHwood, MonTREEal, all of which intersect HamLINE. There is definitely water on high--two large water towers, and two references in
#9 to "HIGH." I wasn' there long enough to find any numbers, but someone last night said they found 9 and 5, and something about St. Francis fitting in (sorry I can't
do better, I'm new to this). References to learning and studying: Highland Park High School. I don't know about the large red object or transluscent peak, but others
insist they are there.

clue explanations, it would become obvious to everyone and there would be trouble. Here's my advice: Go to HP. Bring the clues. LOOK around and it will all
make sense. You will see the red object, the translucent peak, the valuable sign. Like 92 said, keep the park hummin with your shovel.

BE - I don't think the numbers 9,4,5 are supposed to be linked together...read the clue again. I thought it said,"a nine and a five, and somewhere a four."

I think the numbers 9-5-4 only get us to the area. We have gon way beyond that. We have the corrct park. I don't think it will matter what the numbers mean...
Clues that tell an exact location come later in the clues. Just my opinion. I can hardly wait 'till tonight. I was out at 12:10 am last night, took off work today & want
this insanity to stop !! I need to sleep again ha ha.

NOT "peaks"

Ian: yes, thank you! Eitsab, you'll find me in the picnic grounds. Technically, I don't know exactly where field #2 is. The fields by the school I expect are not park
property, but then again, it took me awhile to see where the golf course is not!

plenty.

beta 3 andy - 09:52pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16463 of 22142)
Maybe the "9, 5,and( somewhere a) 4",refers to a combination of sorts-e.g., number of paces to walk from a certain point,points on a compass(or watch), etc. And
if we are truly being iconoclastic, what says the medallion is buried in the snow? Maybe it is above ground somewhere.
Anyone consider the area east of the state capitol yet?(My old St.Paul map lists it as "Eastern Park"). Jackson (man of fame- clue 6) St. runs into it and a few blocks
east is a street called "Lorient"(clue 9). Jesse Ventura is indeed an iconoclast and he is mixing the "old" with the "new" in his cabinet appointments. Other clues seem
to fit as well. Just a thought.

People lets get together and figure this thing out. We are well ahead of the others because we hav ethe internet, watercooler, people with ideas, common sense, and
the desire to enjoy ones company, and the desire to find the treasure.

that were untouched must have been in the wrong park ; )

sharon w - 10:34pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16525 of 22142)
they better figure it out before 11:30 - and plenty enough Digger

The clue that bothers me most is the "9 5 4" thing. I'll be interested to know what that means. I know there are address' around conway with 9's, 5's, and 4's in them
- but that just doesn't seem right.
Jackie Martin - 10:34pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16528 of 22142)
Right now, the only logical choice is Conway, I haven't been convinced otherwise.

We just got back from 4 hours of diggin' at CP. Every single clue fits there perfectly but the pucks location has not been pin-pointed yet- we may have the general
vacinity triangulated, but not positve - only 40 minutes to go!!!!! We're headin' back to join the 500 other people who are still out there. DIG ON

Clue 3 says HP:
There is bus shelter on the corner of highland and snelling. Adorning the front is a sign with two phone numbers. Each number has 10 digits. This would make a total
of a score=20 of numbers. Inside the shelter is a sign that says routes 94J, 52F and 4 stop at there.

Clue 6 say HP:
Ben Franklin created the fictional person called Richard Saunders. Ben (using Richard's name) wrote editorals for the tome "Poor Richard's Almanack". These
editorials offer useful proverbs such as:
God helps them that help themselves.
"Poor Richard's Almanack" is a tome because it was published annually. Richard name appears in each issue.
Saunders Ave. ends at HP.

SLEEPLESS - 10:51pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16570 of 22142)
IF we got everyone that was hunting for the medallion, to pitch in 10 dollars, we could go and buy 10,000 "WILD GOOSE CHASE" scratch off tickets and
probably end up with more money! and we could split the pot with everyone!

From what you all say I am convinced it is at CP now. What reasons do others have for continuing to dig at HP or como? I am going to CP after the next clue
(probably), anyone need a ride from the Blaine area???
LadyC - 10:51pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16574 of 22142)

John Nix - 10:55pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16590 of 22142)
Just between You , Me and the fence post serious treasure hunters should start with a St. Paul map andmark off the park boundries, golf courses , and water towers
ect. My best guess from St. Cloud is that you should look for a scoreboard with a 5 and a 9 on it. Now look for a team logo (the icon) on a tightly streched piece of
paper that you must cut through (the iconoclast clue).

FOOLED YA - 10:55pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16593 of 22142)
the new hunt is on
Clue 10 for 1998
A cape and a whip can really be hip, Though we don't recommend such attire. Consider this a worthwhile tip If it's treasure to which you aspire.
This clue meant chippewa. a street east of the hiding place and came from an anagram from the words......"cape" and "whip"
What this means freaks is that the exact spot won't be told until wed. evening at 11:30. Tonights clue should verify Conway or I'll make all of you eat your sweaty,
sloppy, snow diggin, smelly undies; because I certainly won't eat em.

knowing that not all of you were in here when this was said, if you take the "I" out of water on high, it spells hawthorne with a g left over. Hawthorne street runs right

come home with that medallian!
John, Char, Trina, Tracy, Jerry, Tim, Kelly, Doug, Travis, Ryan, Tyler, Jesse, Heather, Sadie, Tiffany (2 of us)... the list goes on! I just wanted to say, no matter

I am truly jealous of you guys...you should all be out getting the treasure...do it for me, I can't, but for good reason...my daughter (who has been hunting with me up
to this afternoon) is going into early stages of labor and so I am on call to care her two other girls....must admit I'm very excited (grandchild #10...wow I feel old) but
at the same time I do so want to be back out looking for treasure. I have to do it from here...keep me up dated as I can't remember everything I seen or dug at
conway...but, I do think it is there now.
Lu Hunt - 11:45pm Feb 1, 1999 CST (#16658 of 22142)

Bing Crosby and Bob Hope are the standard crooner and funny man combo. Any chance they share a name of sorts that would be useful. Bing went 1st, Mr. Hope
hasn't died yet (i.e. he'll go last).
All I can say is "Keep Hope Alive", I want to find the medallion!!!

# 10 makes me mad! I was convinced it was highland because the actual street address of highland is 954 Snelling St and Homer (author of the Odyssey and a

mykeys - 12:08am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#16732 of 22142)
But wait.."what's in a name is today's little game"...Tim Conway is know for his 'DORF' videos...unscramble the letters and it spells FORD, 'twitty' is 'witty' to a 't'.
Ford Parkway forms a T on snelling, and what do you have there, but HIGHLAND PARK!!!

I still think the 5 and 94 are the highways north and south of the park............. numbers obviously keep score at a ballfield, as for front door, maybe a street sign w/
the numbers of that block could be the "front door"--- anybody, anybody?!?!?

ideas???

I think it would be damn silly for it to be in a condom, but it would certainly be hip. This city is not the hippest, oh I love it but come on let's get real. What if it was in
one of those female condoms? Now that would be cool.

Green: if you ever read a map instead of talking out your ass, you would see that Homer St is east of Rankin, south of Hwy 5 and north of Shepard. While I realize
like everyone else that, yes, Conway seems to be the location, you do not to talk down to me just because I'm new to this game. God forbid a new Minnesotan
resident try to enjoy the game and get to know a little about the damn city at the same time. I saw the frog pond for the first time on Saturday while visiting Como,

Woodi and her sister - 12:32am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#16799 of 22142)
I agree with those that think the numbers mean I-94 and Co. 5. My Hudson road map has Minnehaha as 5 also. This is just clue number three and it usually does not
go that deep at the beginning. I have notes to myself written on last year's clues to remind me not to look too deep into the clues. Good luck all. I'm heading over to
conway.

Pouty Duane... Only my second year, Mr. Sensitive. And, I stand corrected. I never found "Homer" - just Otto's name sake.
Ego's don't work here. You'd do better to lose yours, loosen up, relax and try to assist instead of tear down.
I'm wondering Minnihaha izz a "county" 5, vs. a "state" 5????
Look for the red 3M WAY, WAY up in the sky - on the main building at the campus - ittiz near the water tower. Remember... the clue said "large" object. Don't
think they mean the 3M on the building across Wilson.

"For if you hide the medallion, even in your hearts, there will he rake for it . . ."
Take this for what it's worth (probably nothing) The cleanup batter is fourth.(somewhere a four) There is a cleanup area near the rec building at Conway, next to the
parking lot. Thought I would give it a shot, saw a huge plowed snowbank and it looked like a decent place to hide a medalion since it would only get bigger and
bigger as it snowed more often. Also, who the hell is going to disturb a snowbank? So I went through about 1500 pounds of snow before I gave it up. Damn my

Stallion... This place is NOT like last year. Ittiz not the most pleasant o'places, so I tend to stay out. Wandered in cuz o'boredom tonite... And quickly wander out.
Can't take it here.
We try and xplain on how not to get double posts, no body listens. Nobody reads past postings to learn - just shooting out a question. Too many people saying,
"Call your mother," "Sweetie, I miss you," stuff like that that is totally inappropriate. Ittiz tedious here.
So, I don't come over very often!

I think we're all going to be confused on the 954 clue until the explanations are posted. No one has come up with something solid on it yet. Personally I think it's a
poorly written clue, but done so purpously since they just can't give out to much info when it's in such a small park.

Well, I left the park so I could get some sleep, and now that I'm here I better do it. After all, I could be giving up my medalion to a different stallion, so I better get
something from it. See you all tommorow! And here's a bit of advice- no matter how excited you are about getting to the right park before everyone else, watch your
speed. I got a ticket 2nite, and am $80 in the hole, as opposed to 10 G's over budget instead.
In the end though, $80 is a small price to pay for so much fun . . .

also told that there was an old rec center there and now they have the new one. The old one used to be where the hockey rink is now I guess, not positive.

PS - I had this crazy idea earlier which I e-mailed to the Cooler Crew Web site about all the coolerheads putting in a few bucks every year to have a contest for
who figures out each clue first. Cause doesnt' it seem like the person who finds it is always the luckey duck who just heads out to the park everyone ELSE is at?
You could only have ONE guess at each clue(so you'd want to make sure you'd make it a good one) and send an official e-mail to an official clue knower person.
After it was all over the person who had the most clues right on, the soonest, gets the pot. Or you could come up with some other system. Itza thought though! Then
the people who rack they're brains for hours still have a shot at some $$$$$$$ even if they don't find it.

are out there, and there's a lot of dumb luck involved

Stallion... I'M SHOCKED AND APPALLED YOU GOTTA ASK!!! 11:30 a.m., natch!
(Gee! And that even rhymes!!!)
E-mail me if you're comin'. Also, if you're gonna bring anything. Last year one made "Sloppy Joe Medallions" (DON'TCHA LOVE IT!!!). I brought corn/cob and
24 (yes, the story is TRUE. I cannot tell a lie [sigh] ) lbs o'tater salad... One person made a cake in the shape of a Water Cooler; we had coffee, soda, milk,
brauts... It was a BLAST. We all went over and over and over the clues. Many a Digger was REALLY honked off about that stupid Annapolis clue, let me tell
you!!! That was when The Cooler Crew was born - outta folks just like us all here! Just Diggers!

Plus, I guess if you were such a true hunter you'd have the medallion already huh? But you're on your butt on the computer- hmmmmmmmmmm.

monkee love: Shouldn't you be out digging in my place? Try to contact Sean E. and the Gypsy if it's not found by tomorrow post-work (Sorry to others - this was
fastest place to post msg).
others: If you're not convinced it's at Conway, just go out there and take a gander. The "vibe" you've been missing at Highland, Newell, the Capitol, Kellogg, and
anywhere else you might've scouted will catch your attention and you'll certainly start digging somewhere. Even if you don't find it, the scene is memorable enough to
get you to next year. There's nothing like knowing you were at the right park (except the obvious).

Monkey, our "You Dig" buttons are the pride and joys of those o'us that attended The Re-Hash Bash last year. I *think* Mr. Sax is working on some for this year...
At least I *hope* he izz. If not, I'm gonna kill him!!!

You WILL be bock next year!!!
Four weeks before this year's Hunt, I got Ter's drawers all in knots I was so xcited and noodling clues... Kept badgering her with questions and "what if's"!!! That

I can't believe I left the park where the medallion is at just hours before it will be found! I thought it would have to be in some obsure place, instead of just in the
snow. But there's not much obscure places around there.
I'm sure it will be gone by 11am

Stallion: I know what you mean. I picture that poor, cold, lonely little medallion buried out there in the snow and ice, just longing to be freed from its little cold bed;
to be held in someone's warm hands, to be slipped into a pocket and safely zippered in for the journey back to Mom Press. Oh, if that little blue hockey puck could
only talk! Heck, if it could only *scream*!!! Maybe then we could find that elusive little bugger.

Just got back from Conway. Not quite the teeming mass I expected at 11:30. I suppose now we've entered what we can call "The night of the crapshoot". Does
anybody honestly have an idea where it might be? I've had several but none have panned out. Also, just curious if anyone out there is still disputing Conway (foolish
mortals that they be)?

johnboy - that's right. You just need to cross over the freeway and go about another block. You can park either on Wilson (the first street) or Conway (the second
one).

At least a couple of hundred, though I can't claim to be good at guessing such things. The parking lots were quite full for a while, but there were some empty spaces
when I left.

conway about 1:30 AM...or 1 AM...whatever...there were so many people! i wonder, what do these people do for employment? :) Anyways...happy hunting.
conway might be "small" but when you are actually THERE...it is not so small when you have no clue where it is!!!!

Eagle Eye - 01:57am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#16983 of 22142)
Allison: It was hoped that the re-hash bash could be in the park where the medallion is found, like last year it was at Cherokee Park on the Sunday after the hunt
ended.
But there are no facilities at Conway that can accomodate enough people. Folks are checking out some other places, and it will be prominently mentioned in this
board as soon as the place is determined.
The time will be 11:30 am, everybuddy brings something to eat for the common table, plus its a good idea to bring a plate and your own utensils, etc. Last year I
*think* Mom Press provided the coffee. Watch for more details in the next few days! Hope to see you there!

It will start at 11:30 a.m. - get it??? ROFLOLPMP!!!
But rite now we don't know where it will be as Conway (and you can bet that MomPress' ol'you-know-what's gonna bee in a wringer over THIS!!!) has no electric
outlets for coffee, etc.; or tables or benches, blah, blah, blah.
We're looking into using The Rec Center, but ittiz a long shot. Maybee BC??? BUT!!!! The picnic area izz in Maplewood and that does NOT feel rite...
So, stay tuned!!!
And if folks don't see/write to you... Talk a little louder, "Hay!!! I'm WRITING to you!!! Jello????" Like I said, just one or two posts can bee so quickly

I had a spot in Como that fit the first six clues very nicely and I was sure that it was there. But I couldn't figure out how to fit a trees in a line into Como. I knew it
wasn't meant to be taken literally, but for about 12 hours I didn't know what it meant. Then I thought WOOD ROW, and that led to Conway. After a visit there I
suspected strongly that was it, and after clue * and another visit, I was positive.

Everybody - When this hunt is over, and we're all going through withdrawal and you want to rehash the clues and theories with other obsessed hunters, we have a
plan. The 2nd annual rehash bash will be held on Sunday, Feb. 7 at 11:30. Please e-mail green if you can make it. The place is yet to be determined. (No picnic
areas at Conway :(!)

for the clue by cel phone, ready to dig there) there's no telling where to dig. Me and the other 500 hunters were the blind leading the blind. But I don't think we're
making it to #11. It ain't THAT big.

The medallion has always been found. Even the year it was at Newell. That was the closest it ever came to not being found...and the snow was so much deeper than
it is this year. The early edition of the next day's paper actually printed an additional clue. The medallion was found before that paper came out.

First off, its not always a process of elimination. Usually the clues are vague enough you could fit them to any park if you really try. So what you often have to look
for it what park do they fit *best*. So here we go.
Clue #1. I don't think it actually indicated the presence or lack of a golf course, they just wanted to tell people to stay off of them. There is however, possibly
coincidentally, a couple of "No Golfing" signs at Conway.
Clue #2 Conway does have a sledding hill on the far east end.
Clue #3 (my interpretation) Numbers keep score and adorn the front door refers to the fact that the park is on the 2020 block. The 9-5-4 is referring to I-94 and
Minnehaha (5). Conway would be the only park bewteen them with adresses that started with a 2-0.
Clue #4 The treasure has never been hidden in Conway before, therefore it is something new to those who have studied past hunts.
Clue #5 There is a library on the park grounds.
Clue #6 "A man of fame with a useful name" is Henry Hudson as what hunter would be without a Hudson Guide? Old Hudson Rd. is 1 block south of the park.
Clue #7 Trees in a line = WOOD ROW = Woodrow Wilson from which you get Wilson St. the southern border of the park.
Clue #8 There are translucent peaks on SunRay as well as one on the rec center. There is still some dispute as to which one the clue refers to.
Clue #9 There is a large water tower visible from the park, as well as the large 3M sign lit up in red, high in the sky.
Clue #10 Conway Twitty and Tim Conway.

I also believe that in addition to it being the first time the medallion was hidden at Conway, it is also the first time it has been at a rec center. I think this will open the
possibility in subsequent years of being at other rec centers throughout St. Paul.

Personally I interpreted the valuable sign to be the street sign saying Wilson. It was valuable because it indicated pretty clearly which park it was in. But there is some
talk of the True Value sign you can see from the pathway in the middle of the park.

One of the other clues that played out as each one was released was the obvious absence of usual park clues. Trees, picnic areas, bike/walking paths, bodies of
water (rivers or lakes), etc.

Langford is a park. There is a rec center at one end...but separate from the park. The other end is an elementary school. The park was definately a park. Very few
people found the park that year though.

Imagine this Park Digger, "A rec center in the spot, but a golf course is not..." Realistically what were they going to say? If they didn't say it was in a park, people
might start looking under highways again and digging up all kinds of public property. I think they were just caught in a quandry and decided to use the word "park".

I've thought it would be a good idea to get a whole bunch of people with long sticks and go through the park like they go through an avalanche looking for victims. In
fact, that's been my most common method so far, so if you see/saw a guy out there poking holes with a cane, that's me. And if you see my holes, you know where
I've been.

Usually you don't gotta guess as folks are going up to everybuddy saying, "Hi! I'm Allison Wonderland. Who are you?" And yapping and laughing.
I'm telling you Al, ittiz the greatest time. Last year we were there from 11:30 until about 5:00. Folks toin' and froin' as they wanted, time allowed.
And the stories!!! And having it in the park where it was found, just drew us closer.
In a way, ittiz like a wake for The PP Medallion Hunt - at least for the current year...
And know what else! We were off noodling THIS year as the day wound down!!! YES!!! Like, "Otay. We've buried 1998. Now... Where do YOU think it will

Do you all really think it is still at Conway? I mean shit, we were out there for about 4 hours tonight before and after the clue came out and there were about 200
people out there. The park is not that big. With all the digging that has been done out there, don't you think it would have been found already? I still believe that it is
there though cause all the clues point to there.

Stone, ittiz Conway.
But think about this: I've noticed that there has been TONS of indiscriminate digging. Meaning: snow has been tossed into HUGE piles and nothing was dug up
under the pile first.
Said anudder way, there's many, MANY a HUGE pile o'snow sitting on virgin snow.

Sethmon - We would like to have it at the park that ittiz found...but we are trying to work out something for this year because Conway does not have picnic facilities
and their indoor space isn't large enough. Early thoughts are to have it at Battle Creek in that picnic area. We'll have it pegged down and posted here before Sunday.

It can't be anywhere but Conway, but where is it? I still think Clue#4 and its reference to being an iconoclast is our brightest hope at the moment. I think it may be
trying to tell us that the medallion is hidden in some new, very unusual way and thus no one has found it yet. I noticed a lot of people looking up in the trees which I
thought was a good idea, but it may be somewhere even stranger yet.
Sethmon - 02:39am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17059 of 22142)
If it's wrapped in white it wouldn't supprise me if someone dug it up, missed it, and burried it again. There is quite a bit left undug yet.

We have also heard that the medallion is often tossed out of it's original hiding place without being found till the area is gone over again. I don't know if that's
accurate though. I do know it's happened a time or two.

Just got back from Conway with my son. (Oops...was it past curfew? Please don't snitch.) Conway's much bigger than I had imagined. I'm having a real hard time
with the glowing translucent peak. The one people point to is made of transparent glass. The Standard gas station sign is glowing and translucent, but is it a peak?
The translucent windows in the rec center are not exactly at the peak of the building, and they were only a few barely "glowing" at one end. The other big unknown is
those cryptic numbers "9, 5, and somewhere a 4." I am doubting that they have nothing to do with the location, but perhaps are inscribed on the container that holds
the precious medallion. However, one fellow did find a house with the number 495 that fronts the park.
Hundreds of people at Conway, but oh so much snow to scoop, sift and resift. This could take until June unless the Pioneer Press gets it act together and starts to
get a bit more specific. Aren't the clues lacking in that respect compared to previous years? Has the medallion ever NOT been found?
Good luck to me tomorrow....

If my interpretations of the clues are right, I think they're using the softball fields as a red herring. I think Clue #3 has nothing to do with sports, though it was made to
sound that way, and Clue #9 makes you think of the softball fields, even if its only subconsciously. My guess right now is that its not on the fields, though perhaps
you can see the fields from the hiding place. Anyone agree or disagree?

A friend of mine keeps insisting that there's some secret reference to the hiding place in one of the clues, and we must have overlooked it. I think there isn't and it is
exactly as narrowed down as they would like it to be at this point, considering Conway's size. Personally, I feel we're at about the same point as we were last year
after Clue #10 in terms of area.

is those cryptic numbers "9, 5, and somewhere a 4." I am doubting that they have anything to do with the location, but perhaps are inscribed on the container that
holds the precious medallion. However, one fellow did find a house with the number 495 that fronts the park.
Hundreds of people at Conway, but oh so much snow to scoop, sift and resift. This could take until June unless the Pioneer Press gets it act together and starts to
get a bit more specific. Aren't the clues lacking in that respect compared to previous years? Has the medallion ever NOT been found?
Good luck to me tomorrow....

Sethmon - there have been times when it has not been found in something white. There are times that we have had very little if any snow. Then ittiz often found in a
clump of leaves and mud. It is made to blend in with the ground.

Well... Al... I came in here, tried to keep peace (language/emotions), and tried to teach newbies - like how not to do duplicate posts. And policed, and worked, and
tried... And got REALLY fed up with the crap here.
I don't deal well with rude, bull-headed, obnixious (sp?) brats. In fact... Oh, well!!! NEVER MIND!!!
And so pulled out.
Yes, The Crew has a following - like members that are either too young (WW, Two [Faced Bandit]) that can't attend our McGovern's gatherings (but still have no
prob acting in a mature manner - and we LOVE THOSE KIDS!! HAY, WW AND TWO!!!), or those that choose not to.
I'm pretty outspoken, and am always out there talking up The Cooler Crew. So, my name is recognized...
Too, last year I was the WORLD'S BIGGEST DUMMY!!! LOL!!! I'm lucky Greg lives in WI, as he wanted to choke the living crap outta me!!! I'd never hunted
bee4 and I was like counting how many times a word appeared, diagraming sentances... I was the BESTEST over importacating (neat word I made up!!) each clue
that has ever lived!

One thing I noticed, or perhaps it was a coincidence, but often, when I logged on, there was a lot of the juvenille junk you're referring to. But then I would just start
making my posts, being as thoughtful as possible, and ignored all the troublemakers. Then the people who were here to try and get ideas and actually solve the clues
would start to respond with posts of their own. After a while it seemed the "kids" got bored and left. Almost every time I've been on and been able to post regularly,
the discussion always ended being much more civilized than it began. Maybe the kids just went to bed, but I think you can make this discussion what you want it to
be just by leading by example.

Park Digger - The official word from the PP is that there is no set time to put it out. I do believe ittiz before the first clue, and based on how deep it has been in the
past...perhaps during the first big snowfalls in January.

Allison - I think you're right. We had a poster last year....big trouble...but mostly he went away if we ignored him. Ittiz often the best way. If you respond, you feed
into the nonsense. If you ignore it and give it no attention, it tends to get much better.

I've always wondered myself when it was hidden. I hear they hide it during the first snow, but what if there isn't a significant snowstorm, or the snow melts
afterwards?
Park Digger - 02:58am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17090 of 22142)
Thanks Terry. I was thinking that if it was hidden in,, say December,, it could be in grass or dirt since we didn't have much snow then.. But if it was hidden recently in
January then it is probably in something white which goes with popular belief

If you think about how snow melts, ittiz usually along walks and stuff first. If it's out in the middle of a field, the melt would come slower.

Failed Marketing Ploys: "I cuss, you cuss, we all cuss for asperagus."
Al, The core group that started the Cooler Crew has tried dilligently to post here off and on so that the true value and meaning of this yearly Cooler can continue.
We'd come in, get REALLY PISSED OFF, leave... Lick our wounds, crab, bitch, knash our teeth... But then come bock as there WERE/ARE folks here that are
deserving of the GOOD that this Cooler can do. We'd bee bock and forth, to and fro...
You see, this particular Cooler - The Med Hunt Cooler - is very near and dear to The Cooler Crew. Ittiz how we came to meet. From here last year we became an
on line community, and "Shoot The Breeze With The Cooler Crew" - the only non-topiced Cooler here - came to bee. The Cooler Crew meets in real time, a
minimum of once a month. Just to have fun and laugh and joke, eat, drink, play cards (or Pictionary, or Trivial Pursuit...).
So, we tend to watch over it, police it (we've done a piss poor job this year...), guide it, help newbies, etc.
But ittiz very very hard when the place izz full of very rude children. We've tried to do the best we can...
And, let me say... Any - ANY - adult in this Cooler, we could use your HELP!!! You've seen what I've posted... Don't be afraid to act *correctly* and say, "Look,
Poster. You are way outta line. Keep it up and you'll be outta here. Want that? No? Then clean it up. Otay!! Now! Let's have fun!"

So before we all pack it in, does anyone have any favorites for digging sites. I was on the east side of the library tonight, just slightly up from the parking lot. From
there you can see the water tower, 3M, the library (obviously), and only one of the peaks from Sun Ray. It also seems like a good secluded spot for someone trying
to be stealthy while hiding the medallion.

My guess is that tomorrow's clue will either eliminate the sporting fields (or the non-sporting field area if I'm wrong about the sports being a red herring) or it will
point in some totally different direction, like up, saying its in a tree or something.
Bryan D Whaley - 03:10am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17105 of 22142)
I was also thinking that it is not buried in the snow.

Every year the park seems to be completely dug up, yet the medallion is not found until after that has been done. I think half the time someone digs it up and tosses it
aside, leaving the next lucky person to stroll by and find it.

As I went through the park tonight I noticed that it SEEMED all dug up, but it wasn't. There are still a few virgin patches here and there. It seems whenever they
interview the winner they always say, well I saw this one little patch of undisturbed snow so I turned it over and there it was!". Secondly, as someone pointed out
earlier, there are areas that haven't been touched yet, but they are under piles of snow from other areas that have been. And third, God forbid, there are always the
snowbanks that no one really wants to have to dig up. Beyond that though, your other thought may be correct that its not under the snow at all.

There is also the area of packed snow between the hockey rinks that I think people have been reluctant to touch extensively, and the bushed in front of the rec
center.
Bryan D Whaley - 03:23am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17120 of 22142)
I don't think it will be hidden in a snow bank, because they plow to those spots repeatedly. Not a very fair thing to do. Plus the plow could move the medallion itself.

the park.

I love Minnesota!
Clue #10 says something about a crooner (singer) and a funny man (comedian) with first name and last name (or something like that - I don't have it right here). I
believe they're saying CONWAY Twitty for the singer and Tim CONWAY for the funny man. So, it's in Conway.
nathan roub - 10:31am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17155 of 22142)
it is conway it pointya sdirectly to it retards
dan and barbi - 10:32am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17156 of 22142)
o.k. two men share the same name one is a crooner and one is a 'funny man' crooner is a singer, is this true?

Donut Man - 10:33am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17158 of 22142)
Thanks CA Transplant. What about the first half Whats in a name in todays little game As a pointer it could be unsurpassed
CA Transplant - 10:34am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17159 of 22142)
I love Minnesota!
Yes, dan and barbi. That's it. I think it's in the last line of the clue, but like I said I don't have it here with me right now and I don't want to leave the site to read it
because of the problems with the server.

Donut Man, I think they're referring to Conway being "what's in the name" they are hinting at in the last line of the clue. As a pointer it is unsurpassed, because it's
saying the name of the park where the Med is.
nathan roub - 10:35am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17162 of 22142)

Crooner is a soft spoken singer or to sing in a soft voice into a closely held microphone

Well, DM, I might be too simple minded or making the clue fit the park I think it's in - Conway. But, I'm open to exploring other options. It really seems like
Conway's it. What do you think? It's possible you're reading too much into "crooner" and it really is just a singer.
Lizardz - 10:39am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17170 of 22142)

Peppercorn - 10:39am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17171 of 22142)
Why was the web crossing down? Did the pp shut it down on purpose, or were there technical problems? Sometimes I wonder if they might shut it down when the
language gets bad, or people start abusing it by having fights in the water cooler.

nathan roub - 10:40am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17175 of 22142)
what is clue 6 and ill tell you how it fits
dan and barbi - 10:41am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17176 of 22142)
let's brainstorm... i don't know any thing about conway. how could you fit the flying down hill part from #2? how about the studying the past and iconoclast from #4
or learning or goal from#5 trees in a line? #7 and what the hell is round and white and streched tight,glowing translucent peak? #8 i got the water tower in #9 but
what about the red object? how about the pointer in todays clue?
nathan roub - 10:41am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17177 of 22142)
monkee love it is I94 and highway 5, you could take that but i dont think they would tell you the park that fast and if you read that clue i dont think they would use
the 4 that way, it would be to obvious

My husband and I were there until 1a.m. So many people were still there when we left. The noise from all the shovels made it sound like a Siberian work camp.
Almost eerie!
We had a bad thought on the drive home: what if someone has already found the thing as is just hanging onto it in order to laugh at us fools? Perhaps its just our
frustration in that it seems like there is nowhere left to dig or look at Conway!

Mrs. Banner,
That thought bothers me too, (someone having found it already) I think that they've had problems with that in the past, which is why the Pioneer Press says in the
rules very specifically that the person who finds the medallion must IMMEDIATELY return it to qualify for the initial $5,000.

Nathan, we were primarily in the western half of the park. haven't ruled out the eastern half yet. i don't think we will actually dig anymore until we have the next clue. i
don't think the clues we already have are going to tell us anything new.
had my camera there last night; hope they turn out so someday we can laugh at this because i am sure those execs at the mother ship are slapping their
knees all day long

Does anyone know if there is a number you can call to find out if the medallion has been found? They don't change the time status on the website very often.
The rules state that if you don't turn the medallion in as soon as it is found (or reasonalbe amount of time) you forfeit your prize. I don't know how they know if its
been found - maybe there is a tracking device inside it!

Rodd - 11:05am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17224 of 22142)
I just called and so far, the medallion has not been found. I believe the person who does the actual hiding of the medallion goes out to check on it occasionally to
insure that someone hasn't found it and waits a while to turn it in. Also, the rules ask you to turn it in when you find it - if you don't and you start to mess with peoples
minds, they (PP) have the right to give the money to charity.
Nancy Mc Veigh - 11:05am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17225 of 22142)
don't give up on Conway. Clue 10 is right on. Conway Twitty is the singer and Tim Conway is the funny man.
Mrs. Banner - 11:05am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17226 of 22142)
CA, we heard from a local while we were at Conway last night that the park building (not the library) isnew and they blew up the old one; i.e., blast from the past.

Remember not to tear the clues up too much - check past clues and their explanations to see that some lines are for rhyming purposes only! Figuring out which lines
are the rhyming lines and which ones are the *clues* will help you greatly!

When it says to study the past, it is referring to the past medallion hunts - it has never been hidden in Conway before - be an "Iconoclast", ie. a rebel, a radical, a
non-conformist - something that's never been done before???? A NEW PARK!!! The Famous person is Babe Ruth - "Many a Tome" is Ruth, from the Bible,
remember a tome is a grouping of small books - Ruth can be found in many places in the old testament. It ALL makes sense - Conway or no way! Now Get out
there and dig before it's too late!!!
David W. Anderson - 11:10am Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17235 of 22142)
Conway is pretty dug up, I cant believe it's out there, I was there last night and there wasn't an inch that wasn't searched, any new ideas??

here's the answer to clue #10: the words "2 men share it, one and the same, a crooner goes 1st and a funny man last" One and the same mean they share 1 name in
common (not both first and last names) the crooner is Conway Twitty and the funny man is Tim Conway- get it?

I agree with Conway, especially the Babe Ruth (Ruth Street) thing, and the "line of trees" being a 'woodrow' and Wilson street is there too.

You're right!! These fools will always be diggin in other locations and they'll convince their friends who just got out of the nut house to dig with them!
After reading deeply into these clues and referring them to a psychic we have determined that the medallion is either at.......listen up, because I'm only going to repeat
this once........It's at either Como park...(Perry Como the crooner) or Highland (High in the Sky) or PIE in the sky)
So Ms. Banner and Newk2 get your sorry diggin asses out to one of those two parks and go for it!!!!!!! When you find it let me know so I Can help you manage
it!!!!
To the rest of you lifeless fools, get alife and go find the freaking thing!!!!!!

and Tim Conway, Conway is Twitty's first name, Conway is Tim Conway's last name, where o'where in the park is it???? That park is torn up like pieces of paper,
what is round and white and stretched quite tight??? I'll be there again tonight, like 1 million other people, good luck everyone.

you are bluffing about Como, and particularly Highland. Elaborate? Please don't take this message personally, because I don't think anyone takes yours as such.

They had Cherokee dug up just as bad last year, the only difference is that we had 6 inches of packed snow cover to deal with. By the time hunters got down to the
ground they went digging elsewhere, we need mother nature to drop some more of the white stuff, and then we will really have some fun!!

been in a diaper, an old chew tin, taped to the back of a record (LP style) and don't forget the roaring end to last years hunt. A bright yellow Old Navy sock!
Maybe this year they have upgraded to performance fleece. And in the honor of PIE, please do not check everyone's performacnce fleece until they are not wearing

Who cares about 954 it is a screwball clue. It will tie in somehow at the END. Quit trying to make everything fit. There are too many explainations for what 954
could be. The shopping mall is open 9-5 M-S and 9-4 on Sun. there are groups of trees that you could count, there are 954 idiots with shovels out there...etc

The clue about 954 is important. So to say forget about it, is stupid. The clue does not say the the 9 apears first. If you have actually been to the park and looked
around, right on Ruth St., one of the house addresses is 495. If you are waiting for all the clues to make sense in the end, without trying to figure them out your not
going to find it. Greg and I were at the park and all the clues make sense. It is at conway and not como. To all you happy hunters, good luck.

West side. You have to stay away from the sliding hill per clues
Flippy - 12:27pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17303 of 22142)
I'm just guessing- but I think that since it was only the 3rd clue, it's probably pretty general. So, my best guess is, it's between 94 and Highway 5, or fifth street
(which is also nearby.) By the way, once you get unstuck from work, feel free to join me- I'll probably be out there at 3:00 tomorrow morning, if it hasn't been found
yet.

blows my mind that it hasn't been found yet!

Hi Flippy - I think you're right on the clue for 954 being kind of vague. I did hear something about the KS95 radio tower, but I don't think that's right because it says
'numbers keep score and adorn the door', so I thought it would be an address of a sports center.
I want to head out tonight after the clue at 11:30, but I guess I could just go around 3 and then head to work after that. I'm not outta here until 5:00 in downtown
Mpls.

It could also be the previously posted guess- that it is about even with 495 Ruth St, in view of all the other clues. I just didn't think that they would get that specific
with the third clue.
Also, I definitely think the "round and white" clue relates directly to what it is wrapped in. Any ideas? So far, my guesses have been- some kind of product wrapper,
a baseball, a garbage bag, or a diaper (again.)

Assuming it is at Conway, the big red sign in the sky has to be the 3M sign on the side of building 224. (The tower just off I94)
the greens - 12:58pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17333 of 22142)
About the 954 thing, Hwy 5 is just 8 short blocks North of Conway and I-94 is of course just to the south. Simple...

Another thought- the 9, 5, and 4 could be something other than just numbers. For instance- 9- west, 5-south south east, and 4- east south east from some landmark.
Or else paces from some landmark in the park, although you would have to try to guess what landmark it is from.

Hey, all. If you want to see a quick summary of the ideas being expressed by the Conway camp, go over to the 1999 Clues at coolercrew.com. The only thing not
mentioned is the 94/5 road connection. This noodle believes the numbers refer to a home address adjacent to the park. The coincidence is too sharp.

Possibility for first part of Clue 8 - Medallion could have been placed in white shrink-wrap. It could be overlooked very easily in something like that.
CA Transplant - 01:15pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17360 of 22142)

Flippy, I think the 'valuable sign' is the True Value Hardware sign.
Flippy - 01:15pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17361 of 22142)
From one part of the park, you can see a "True Value Hardware" sign lit up. I thought that might be significant as to where in the park it is.

CA, have you been to Conway? I have (and so have a lot of other people) looked under the bleachers, inside the playground equipment, etc.
I think it might be buried because Clue 8 said "covered quarry." Maybe, maybe not. I guess that only means the medallion has to be covered, huh.

Just got back from Conway Park. It is absolutely packed! We were digging on one of the ball fields and a news crew was a few feet in front of us -- looking kind of
suspicious. We didn't find anything but it has probably been kicked around so many times.

Please tell me you're kidding, Dino.
Nothing like publicity. Now everyone and their third-cousin will be out there not having read any of the clues but thanking Channel 5 for doing the dirty work for
them.
Now I almost hope its NOT at Conway although i don't think there's any way around it.

I'd like to go after tonight's clue if it's not found yet. I think lots of people that are there now are just nosey and probably haven't even solved the clues. But, I think
darkness and cold will thin them out, and the rain/ice/crap is supposed to show up around 3 a.m. so if it's not found by then, maybe I'll brave the elements and go
then.

If it stays as warm as it did last night, mother nature will probably help someone out. I would actually appreciate a huge freeze right about now so the slushy snow

Medallion Seeker, the message yesterday that it had been found was a crock. Someone figured out how to check the person's e-mail and the addresss said "hot
mail", so obviously it was a hoax. Also, some jerk was driving around Conway waving something and saying he found it and convinced a bunch of people.

Jackie Martin - 01:47pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17430 of 22142)
The only thing I have to say, is it's at Conway in some crazy obscure place that the clue will reveal tonight or God forbid Thursday if it takes 2 more days!
jeff scott - 01:48pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17431 of 22142)
the way todays comminucations are they would have it updated within minutes of it being found

thanks for the update Jeff, I anxiously await to go out after work amd when I hear all the action taken place where I have been digging for days, I get nervous and

Grandma Honeybearrr - hit "previous" at the top. Everyone has been talking about Channel 5 being there, and how many people are there. It sounds like insanity.
But of course, I can't go until after work. Next Year I am taking these two weeks off and looking for the dumb thing while eveyone is at work : ) sorry you are
babysitting tho - that has to be tuff. I figure I will read about someone finding it about a half hour before I can get there this afternoon.

been keeping up with all that's been posted. Well, I guess that's how it goes.

Does anyone still agree that it could be in a balloon??? I was thinking, a deflated balloon hanging in a tree. After all, they have those "miner days" in that park every
year????

hi all just got back from Conway with my five year old. He is having a great time with this! What chaos at the park though. I'm not able to figure that 9 5 4 thing. I'm
not convinced it is the numbers of players for different sports teams. I think that is stretching it. I bet its something much simpler. But what? I think that could help
alot.

"Miner Days" is just a festival that they have in that park every year. I use to work at Eastern Heights Bank, and we sponsored the event. I was just thinking, that it
might be over looked, you know how you find deflated balloons after these festival things. Am I grasping??????????

Sno One - 02:16pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17478 of 22142)
RAIDER I agree. I think the 9 5 4 may somehow pinpoint the location or at the very least give us a smaller vicinity in which to look. Been searching that park though
for anything to relate to 9 5 4 but no luck.
ravi - 02:17pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17479 of 22142)
Like I said, I may just be grasping, but that is what I thought of when I read, the "round and white, and stretched quite tight",,I am really getting frustrated with two
clues....9-5-4 and round and white..HELP!!!!!! How to deal with the stress!!!!

Tim Yearneau - 02:17pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17481 of 22142)
Only thing I can think of regarding 954 is there is a skinny brown post by the football sled with the number 4,5, 6 bottom to top. Reverse the 6 and you have a
nine... this is probably stretching it, but only thing i can think of.
Rodd - 02:17pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17482 of 22142)
Is there some sort of a sand box or childrens play area where it could be buried in the sand???

wasn't there something about the addresses at in that area being aroung 954?
ravi - 02:19pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17484 of 22142)
There is that pay-area, where they have those chair things that have the shovels, the kids can dig, but I was there yesterday, and nothing, that poor area is probably
gone by now!!!

Ravi The round and white and stretched wuite tight could be anything. I think it doesn't really matter because if it refers to what its wrapped in, of course you are
goiing to pick up and investigate ANYTHING you come across while digging. I think if we could figure the nine five four we'd be onto something don't you?
Leah Logan - 02:19pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17486 of 22142)
doesn't anyone think it is in a baseball or softball- round and white leather strecthed tight

could it be in an icicle? transluscent peak? a stretch??
Sno One - 02:20pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17489 of 22142)
I was trying to count groups of trees and we looked on many a post and pole and found numbers but none fit quite right.
Lu Hunt - 02:20pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17490 of 22142)
I was at Conway Park earlier in the day. Be careful all you honest hunters. I witnessed a man kick the passenger window of a truck to gain entry, then spen away
with a purse or something. It was parked on the corner of Ruth and Wilson. BE CAUTIOUS--there's thieves working the vehicles as you hunt!!!
ravi - 02:21pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17491 of 22142)
I think that the nine five four has to do with an address of a house that is on Ruth facing the park. I think that you have to stand so that you can see everything ( water
tower, 3m, sunray, and numbers on the house) Sound logical????
CA Transplant - 02:21pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17492 of 22142)
I love Minnesota!
459 is an address on Ruth Street, from what I've heard. Don't know how that fits into the hunt though. Since it was early on - clue 3 - it was probably just a way to
narrow down which park it's in.
Mitchy mitch - 02:21pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17493 of 22142)
Why is it not by the coner of RUTH and CONWAY by the baseball diamond (tome is also a diamond shaped item)?
Grandma honeybearrr - 02:21pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17494 of 22142)
I really really like the ballon idea...or a wadded up piece of paper...or a piece of material (I'm a sewer) rolled around the medallion ... or an old white cap...or a
globe on a light post...or white elastic rolled around the madallion...or a bra...or a piece of white leather...or a roll of toilet paper... or just about anything white with a
little give to it. How about the #'s
Molly Kubiak - 02:22pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17495 of 22142)
There is an adress that has a 59 in it. 2059 conway. Adresses close by have 4s in them.

water tower? What do you think?

valuables in your vehicle when out in the field hunting!!!

954 means 9 trees on one side, 5 trees on the other and the 4 is in the middle protected by a tree on the baseball fence. Seriously the only place that has not been
touched is the deep snow around the ice rink. Why? oh and for the people who still dont believe it is there, well at night the hocky lights are turned off and they are
supposed to be on but i guess they dont want you to have any help, and can someone tell me what todays clue means? Please?

Real Stretch time - didn't someone say something about pantyhose, or even a bra. Hey if they would hide it in a diaper or a white castle box who knows what else

Rock, please tell us you're kidding around. Today's clue is the easiest of all the clues! It practically names the park...in fact it does, its Conway park - just go there
and start digging. You will never, ever, have a better chance to find the treasure!
Molly Kubiak - 03:10pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17568 of 22142)

Dave Chanhassen - 03:11pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17570 of 22142)
Rock,
I think it has to do with either cross streets or a street leading to a park.
Conway covers both, but the "crooner" or singer is first - telling me its a street, where "Pryor" or "Sackett" are both comdians.
Never Ending Hunter - 03:11pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17571 of 22142)
I really think that it's in a baseball.
Does anyone know who Conway Twitte is or am I a real Twit?
Is he a crooner?
Came home early from work to take cold medicine so I can
get back to the hunt.
Sure is dug up out there.
There were kids yelling "here it is!" last night and night before.
I think the PP would let us know ASAP.

Hi, Rock. You had all those good ideas about Highland, and so did I, but we were both wrong. Today's clue refers to the name "Conway"--the first being the first
name--Conway Twitty, the Crooner, and the last name being Tim Conway--the funny man. I don't know about the pointer or any of the rest of it.

Rock...gee I didn't mean to upset up...I have been digging (sometimes alone) at a park that is between the history center and the vo-tech, summit runs along one side
of it and John Ireland runs into the corner... I started digging there on Friday and still stop by for a quick dig when I get a chance (I'm about 30 minutes away) go
take a look a lot of the clues still fit...except for #10. Please forgive. By the way I don't know the name of the Park but, it is in the shape of a triangle somewhat
actually a lot so I assumed it was the triangle park that everyone was talking about.
The Rock - 03:40pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17603 of 22142)
well heres what this damn clue writer did!!! First he says that "but theres value as well as in the new. Well hey i figured it was at NEWELL and man others did to.
But then the first letter in every clue started to say Saint Francis because they have booyas twice a year at highland but then a k showed up and that didnt work.
Then the line of trees was woodrow but it could have also ment the streets by highland such as PINEhurst,JUNIPER, and OAK ave.

Just to throw a little doubt out there: There are still two clues left, why would they be telling us the park already? Especially when it's worth $10,000, and Conway
Park is so dug up, if it is there, why hasn't someone found it? And if it's there, it's probably not in the same place is was originally put. But call me a pessimist, I have
a tendency to second guess.

rink. Did anyone see me? I'll go back after clue number 11.
California Dreamin' - 03:50pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17621 of 22142)
RVCrew, this is my first year, but I think they usually know the park before this. And they didn't name it. There have still been people asking what clue#10 means.
Some veterans are saying the clues this year have been the toughest yet. For a long time they could have fit many parks.
The Rock - 03:52pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17622 of 22142)

I am SO depressed right now. I thought for sure the medallion was at Conway, but it CAN'T be there. I called the Department of Parks and Recreation and they
said that Conway is a RECREATION CENTER and NOT a park. SO where is it then?
Grandma honeybearrr - 03:54pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17627 of 22142)
seacool check your e-mail I sent you the directions. Good luck, I'm off as soon as the girls get here.
chris goers - 03:54pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17628 of 22142)
is everyone sure that it is at conway
Sethmon - 03:55pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17629 of 22142)
To get to Conway Park: Head East from downtown about 2mi., exit on Ruth and go North (Left), the park is about 3 blocks down on the right hand side.
dcrissey - 03:55pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17630 of 22142)
absolutely, positively
The Rock - 04:01pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17631 of 22142)
I can almost guarantee you that they wont say conway just yet in the 11th clue just for how small it is and for how much money it is worth. The PP is getting as much
cash as they can and they are doing a pretty damn good job on it. Im guessing tonights clue will give the area where the medallion is at. Usually when it is in a big
park the 10th clue is usually really long, but since its conway i do not see it being in the paper tonight. Im guessing it will say something about the hockey rinks, but on
the other hand in clue 2 it says stay away from sledding and a popular outdoor attraction. Maybe the outdoor attraction is the NO GOLFING signs in the park.
chris goers - 04:01pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17632 of 22142)
anyone going to conway soon, we will be there soon in 45 min.

Sethmon, how could anyone see you when we don't know what you look like? Or did you give a description before? I don't think I can get out until Thurs, by which
time it will probably be too late.
Seacool, didn't we tell you already? You must have missed it. Conway Park is behind Sun Ray shopping center. I-94 east to Ruth St. and go north. That's all I know
cuz I haven't been there yet. I'm just learning how to do this for next year.

is there.

Hey Ya'lll - It only takes a bit of logic. The clues clearly lead to Conway. So you head out there to check it out. Does it look like a park? Does it seem like a park?
Does it taste like a park? YES YES YES. Who cares what they call it offically. Itzza Park. Think in your head what a park looks like and then picture Conway in
your head. THEY LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME!!!! COINCIDENCE??? It's a park

Just came back from Conway. Not to many people there. I do believe it is on the south west side of park between the row of 4 trees and the baseball diamond. It is
not on the baseball field
California Dreamin' - 04:22pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17685 of 22142)
Just trust me, Pisces Girl, I read it on the cooler. Conway can be a park, and it's there. I would not try to mislead you, because I can't even get out there to look!
Someone said it used to be called Conway Heights Park and that that's part of the "past" in clue #4. There were other things said, but I forget them exactly.

"For if you hide the medallion, even in your hearts, there will he rake for it . . ."
Here's a funny thought - By now someone has surely passed up the medallion simply by not looking closely enough at what they were shoveling!
Who cares which half of the park isn't a park on this guys map! Get out there an line up the clues, when you do you'll be in the right half. Also, do you really think the
PP really care, or know, which half was a park on this guys map? Maybe they were looking at the same one I was which shows the whole damn thing as a park!

YES BECAUSE THE NEW WRITER FOR THE PP IS A SMART ASS AND LEADS PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. I THOUGHT OF CONWAY ON THE
LINE OF TREES CLUE. I THINK THE RED THING IS THE 3M SIGN AND THE GLOWING TRANSLUCENT PEAK IS THE SUNRAY SIGN AS
TRANSLUCENT MEANS SOMETHING THAT CAN DISTRACT YOUR SIGHT FROM AN OBJECT. WHAT BETTER THEN A SUNRAY, AND THE
3M SIGN LINES UP PERFECTLY WITH THE WATER TOWER!!! WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT THIS!!!

Hello All!
Back from Conway after a few hours of pondering and digging. There is lots of places that are walked on...but not dug yet. Most of the park has compacted snow
now so the digging is tough. With new snow tonight, it will be tough to figure out dug vs. not dug areas.
Going to get a nap, some dinner and get ready for the next clue. We'll be out there. It's gotta be there somewhere.

I think the 954 thing is just saying that it is between 94 and Hwy 5 since it is so early in the clues. Just giving general area

Everyone should remember that until usually the second-to-last clue, all the clues are "global" -- they just refer to the park, not where in the park.
Last year the second-to-last clue put you between Yellowstone and Sugarloaf streets. Was anyone there at 11:00 p.m. last year?
I hear the Twin Cities has a lot of snow this year, so it's possible it will go to the last clue, especially if the medallion's wrapped in a white balloon.

traslucent is sunray not conway
Terry Valentine - 04:37pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17742 of 22142)
Rehash Bash! Sunday, February 6 - In the park that the medallion is found. Pot luck picnic! Put the date on your calendar!
We'll be out about 11:30 or shortly after. I have to work tomorrow. :( But there's always a chance it will go to the wire and we'll get a chance again tomorrow night
and Thursday.

Last year it was hidden between a pair of trees, and on one of the trees was spraypainted "crack." Remember the early clue that said "crack the code." Duh!

Last year I was at Cherokee Park beginning on Saturday. I was digging north of the hill, 100 feet from those triangle buildings. It's always hidden in the least likely
place. Like last year it was kind of by that ravine, remember?

Pat, I'm thinking at Burns....
Donut Man - 05:03pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17766 of 22142)
www.metrosuper.com now feels it is at Conway. I tend to agree with most of their reasons
Deblondest1 - 05:03pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17767 of 22142)

Hi All-Back from Conway again.
The park is packed!!!
Channel 11 now out and also a street vendor.
Oh, also the RV has finally arrived.
The RV is always at the right park at the end of the hunt.
If you head out to hunt better bring some really good digging tools.

Well I just woke up from a much needed nap, this hunt is starting to burn me out.....
will be out @Conway hopefully within the hour I'll be the guy in the Minnesota State jacket and the "sock" on my head, a couple of my crew should be along also.
Stop by and say OI.

pincher - 05:13pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17773 of 22142)
in 1991 they hid it in a hostess snowball. how come a animal didnt eat it. 1983 substituted as filling in an oreo cookie.
Never Ending Hunter - 05:14pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17774 of 22142)
I got home from hunting last night around 10:30, logged on to wait for the clue and behold it appeared at 11:20. Has it been showing up early every night?
Never Ending Hunter - 05:15pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17775 of 22142)
LSP- The RV is on Conway at the East end of the park.
Never Ending Hunter - 05:19pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17776 of 22142)
Do they keep this chat line open for a while after the medallion has been found? It would be great if we could find out if it was a chat friend.
Never Ending Hunter - 05:19pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17777 of 22142)

pincher - 05:32pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17788 of 22142)
did anyone check inside the streetlamps in the park
Never Ending Hunter - 05:34pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17789 of 22142)
pincher- I don't think they would really want us to disrupt the streetlamps.
Amy Anderson - 05:36pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17790 of 22142)
I thought about that Pincher because they are round and white but i guess they would not be described as stretced quite tight and there is no way they would want
you to ruin the lights

Leah- The channel 11 crew were down by the rec center. They just did a news spot on the 5:00. It looks like they travelled the parks today and there are still
people pretty convinced of other parks, ie Como.
Jenny- The RV is not necessarily on the correct street but they are always at the correct park.

jenny i heard it is the size of a silver dollar and plastic
Jenny Schuette - 05:46pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17806 of 22142)
Its round and white and stretched quite tight.....If a round object is stretched what do you have??????

Brett Robertson - 05:50pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17814 of 22142)
What color is the medallion itself?
Never Ending Hunter - 05:50pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17815 of 22142)
Jenny- A baseball does make a lot of sense. They've hidden it in some pretty odd things; like a diaper or a Hostess Cupcake. Last year it was in a Bandana.
The medallion itself is not very big (I think-I've never actually seen it-Boo Hoo)
What you are really looking for is the object that it is hidden in, so look carefully at any object that you find.
Good Luck!

Jonathan Lee - 05:55pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17834 of 22142)
the red thing in the sky at conway is the 3M building

Shan Ski- Yes, very frustrated. I look every year and have been at the right park and many times probably walked right over it. They have gotten very specific in the
past on the last few clues, so we'll be in better hunting shape tomorrow (provided it's not found by then)

Jenny- You could look back in the chat room to see all the reasons that it's at Conway. But rather than do all that you might as well believe us all. My friend is home
from her day trip so it's time to go hunt. Talk to you all later.

The medallion is about a 2 1/2 inch lucite disc - slightly blue tinted!

You'll probably all think I'm crazy but at one point I thought that the medallion was hidden in a Jesse Ventura action figure. It was the only thing that made sense of
the use of "figure".

Everyone it is at Conway, there is no other place I can see. Crooner is a singer that goes first...as in first name "Conway" Twitty...Then last names goes to a man
who makes you laugh Tim "Conway"
Joe Ma Ma - 06:17pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17886 of 22142)
I think all of you who keep asking where the friggin park is should go somewhere else on your computer and MAKE A MAP!!! www.mapsonus.com is one of

Hey, don't be too harsh on those who keep asking where Conway is. Even if you plunked down $19.99 for Hudson's street finder like I did, it doesn't list or even
label Conway as a park.

Hunters, Conway is not a park! Final. Terminate your searches there. You must pay better attention to deatails in the clues and other tips. For example, the note
posted above specifies that the medallion is only in a PARK. Conway is a recreation center. Try Como and spare the grounds at Conway.

Chaz D - 06:33pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17923 of 22142)
Not at Conway! Don't waste your time with what it "used to be." These clues are present day. The note above and Clue 1 specify PARK. If you wish to ignore my
comment, so be it. But, you'll be sorry! :)

G. Sax - 06:33pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17926 of 22142)
www.coolercrew.com
My Rand McNally map distinctly names the park "Conway Heights Park & Recreation Area." It's one of the rare two-in-ones, like Linwood Park & Recreation
Area, the hiding spot chosen for Roger Barr's book, "The Treasure Hunt." It's new territory for the Pioneer Press, or should I say it's iconoclastic?
Lionel Hutz - 06:33pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17927 of 22142)
OK, so if we accept and toy with the notion that it is not Conway because of a technicality, then who are the crooner and the funny man. Coming up with Perry
Como is easy enough but is only half of the equation. And then what do we do with the "first" and "last" terminology?

It also couldn't have been more clear that it was at Newell a few days ago. Come on guys the PP is really screwing with us this year. First we all thought it was
Newell thanks to the Hewitt, Fairview, and Young street name clues. Then we thought it was HP because of the St. Francis ruse now we are being pulled into
Conway and if everything holds true tonight there will be a clue proving another park.

the MED is IN CONWAY... no doubts at all... 100% sure... but it's turned to ice like cherokee last year... so digging is tough... they put the "park" note up there
because Conway is so dug up people are crossing the streets to dig apartment lawns, parking lots, yada yada yada... GET IT???!!!

FOOLED YA - 06:38pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17944 of 22142)
the new hunt is on
PIE is Back from the madness:
I was out there for Six hours today watching the insanity. There is no need to wreck anything or to dig in somebodys yard.
There was one guy I met who has been out there for 18 hours straight with only one half hour break! His pal was passed out in a van on Wilson. They had dug
several areas the equivalent of half a football field. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many people with many ideas, most of which are a total waste of mental power. I think some of these power surges are short circuited!!!!
I think the clue tonight will tell if it's on the east or west side of the main north south path. Tommorrows clue will segment that into quarters or eighths!!!!!!
Use common sense and good judgement when hunting for the medallion!
Here's more of a list on where it is.......NOT!!!!!!!!!!!
Places it's not!!!!!!!!!!
ON top of 3M
On top of the standard oil sign
In the bushes by the building you hacks!!!
In your hand you medallion less baffoons!!!
Stuck to the bottom of your boot!!
In Dickey Boy's bedroom!
Underneath of home plate on any fields you destructive animalistic maniacs!!!!!
Inside the gas meter at the library you suicidal pyromaniac hack!!!!!
In the librarians purse, you purse snatchin mindless wonder!!!
Duct taped to the top of the 60' high lightpole!!!!
Below the frostline!!!!!
Inside a telephone wire box
high up in a tree
inside my pants
in the middle of the hockey rink you freaking morons
inside a telephone pole
3' below ground level near the playground equipment you diggers from hell!!!!!!!!
in the toilet of the playground
inside the library you literary fools
attached to a moving car
on top of a mtc bus
in a girls bra..........when she's wearing it you perverts!!!!!!!
on top of the water tower you mountain climbing total freaking idiot!!!!!!!
under the asphalt bike path!!!!!!!
inside the air vent at the rec center
on the sliding hill (it's not on or near the sliding hill you clueless bastards)
in a bird house in a back yard
and for alot of you..... for your information it's not up your own ass so why don't you pull your heads out of there!!!!!!!!
The exact spot will never be pinpointed because of the $ amount and numbers of people. It will be by sheer luck and fate for whoever finds it!!!!! To the finder (if it's
not me)please call me for travel arrangements to Mexico!! I have friends there and can show you a great time. They're locals and can stretch your stay and save you
mucho pesos!!!!!!!!
Nikki Regnier - 06:38pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17945 of 22142)
this is stretching it, but what is not at this point?? I just don't like the 3m thing--it's obvious i know-but---. so how about mars (the planet) as the red object... it is the
fourth planet from the sun you know. any thoughts--be nice.
jaguilar - 06:38pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17946 of 22142)
you ar eall grasping for something that isn't there. you need to get out and dig now if you want to have any chance. it IS conway, but by now it has most likely been
pushed around and thats why its not found yet. digging is what it is going to take now, i'm on my way soon...
klaver2 - 06:39pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17947 of 22142)
Crooner first, funnyman last. First name same as last name of comedian or funny actor. Any actors or comedians with Perry last name. Not Luke Perry, although his
acting is a joke.

hello.... The "NOTE" about park is referring to the fact that some yahoos dug up the water tower ground near Highland and were removed by the water dept!
Don't believe me? Go the planet's main page and click on the story!

...A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money." - GG Liddy
First clue says don't disturb a fairway (FAIRVIEW) or green (SYNONYM OF YOUNG). Also first clue says follow this advice and you won't be at the wrong
scene. (CHRIS HEWITT is the film reviewer for the PP) if he says a movie is bad then you shouldn't waste your time going to see it. As far as the other clues there
are a row of three freshly planted, undisturbed by the winter, trees pointing right at the little shovel toys in the playground (Quarry). If you continue to follow this line
you will bump into the Play tower which is peak shaped with an open air top that light could shine through. Directly down from that at the bottom of a hill coming
down Taylor street there is a sign with an arrow pointing towards Hewitt street. If you follow this arrow all the way to Hewitt you run into a four way stop.

Cheryl! Hello again!
Have you been out digging? We've been trying to find people we know and have seen some and missed some.
Cheryl Straight - 06:50pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17966 of 22142)
Haven't been out the last two days, but am planning to do so tonight.
Planning to head out to the one you left earlier. Are you heading back?

the new hunt is on
Conway is a fraud and everybody should realize it and get their, smelly, sweaty, blistered bodies outa there so I can get some sleep.
To my followers:....I will find it and when I do we're going to MEXICO for three weeks!!!!!!!!!! When we get there we'll raise a toast to all of you non-believers and
we'll say hey "how's it going" while you guys are still walking around in a stupor at highland and como diggin your lives away.
It reminds me of the japs who were out on islands and didn't believe the war was over 2 years after it was!!!!!!!!

We connected! It worked out great!! We'll be out there for the 11:30 clue. Somehow we'll get the clue out there as opposed to waiting for it here.
Cheryl Straight - 06:52pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17972 of 22142)
Hey Barton, will you be wearing anything distinguishable out there tonight?
GOOD LUCK!

In clue# 9, Orient is used, definitions refer to the east side. Does the sign on the corner of Wilson and Ruth say Park on it?

I'm not sure yet how we'll get it. I'm hoping to meet up with someone with a cell phone. But...if there's a will, there's a way.
New Daddy said he'd be out there tonight if I remember correctly. I haven't run into him yet at the park...we seem to be missing each other.

For those insisting on Como, think Perry Como and Nathaniel Perry (I believe that's the comedian's name).

Me, hubby, Eags (Eagle Eye), E & H's Mom and Dad...don't know if Green will venture back out or not. She was out there today. I know Dave Young is out there
unless he had to go into work.
Sethmon - 06:57pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17984 of 22142)
Hi Terry! Did you see me out there today?

The Geo Kid - 06:59pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17988 of 22142)
I don't mean to be rude, but once again, the clue says that the name of the park is the crooner's first name and the funnyman's last. Where is Perry Park? It has to be
Conway!
Comet - 07:00pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17989 of 22142)
I've been reading your comments for the past few days now and I'm wondering if it really isn't at Conway. What's round and white....I dro ve by the Battle Creek
Park and there is a pavilion with a ROUND top and it "looks" like it could be stretched tight....that clue also indicates that it is a COVER, not CONTAINER. What
do you guys think??
Sethmon - 07:01pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17990 of 22142)
I was out between noon and 3pm. Mainly at the football sled. Dug up everything around it. Still believe it's Conway? How about what the sign at Wilson and Ruth
says?

Cheryl - I don't have the number anymore.
Sethmon - I am favoring the area around Conway and Ruth. That is at least until tonight's clue which can change that perspective in a heartbeat.

Hello All
starbury - 07:04pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17994 of 22142)
Note: The medallion is not hidden on public grounds whose name is not followed by the word "Park." Really.
Maybe its not at Conway??

The park is conway. Now we just have to be the lucky shoveler, and we will have the med in our pocket.

drsuess - 07:05pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17998 of 22142)
Can you see the downtown skyline from conway?
Tim Filiowich - 07:05pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#17999 of 22142)
Comet- Round and white is what the medallion is hidden in at CONWAY.

Nope...can't see the downtown skyline.
Mom - Early is okay too. How's your headache? Any better? Parking is at a premium...but maybe if we get there before the clue, we will have better luck. What
time you thinking?
dave matthews - 07:06pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#18002 of 22142)
Comet - I looked up Quarry - it can also be used as a derivative of Quarrel - which references arrows - I don't want to start this debate again, but Conway is too
small for it to not have been found....
jeepguy - 07:06pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#18003 of 22142)
is the name of the park conway heights park?
