fine, it's conway, i am just throwing out ideas here...
ChiefSmoke - 12:35am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19003 of 22142)
itz gotta be at conway, hard to deny that the las line of last nights clue pinpoints the park, but i just don't see where water on high comes into it. at Hp, athletic field is
divided into 2 parts by a 15 foot or so hill, and they are about the same size. I am trying to see if anything can fit last nights clue to HP, and i will know it is there and
where to look after a little more deliberation. HP-98.

Kathy W - 12:35am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19005 of 22142)
WOW! Just got back from Conway. I would have been scared to have actually found the medallion. There were hundreds of people on top of each other, I think a
riot would have broken out.

any ideas on the referance to the iconoclast ?
DaBrewMan - 12:40am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19018 of 22142)
Two planes of equal sizes= (in mathematics) tennis court(two even sides) or perhaps two equal parcels of land... like divide the park in two and search in the middle
and of course the big red object in the sky refers to the I think it is Conaco gas station sign
CalltheChiro - 12:40am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19019 of 22142)
Howie stay in Hopkins, if you know what's good for you! I think the rules state that is has to be at ground level or the little people of the world would not have a fair
chance...and in this day and age, there would be a lawsuit for discrimination...duh! The tennis courts were ripped up tonight....The first national red sign is out...that's
been used SOOOOOO many times.

Yahtzee - 12:42am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19021 of 22142)
Just got back from Conway. Hundreds of people out there. Just read the 11th clue. Everyone is looking between the two skating rinks, but the clue says "two frozen
planes of equal size" and there is no way those two rinks are any where near equal size. I'm guessing it is somewhere within the #4 baseball diamond. You can see
the water tower, 3M, SunRay sign and the translucent peak, if you stand right under the "4" on the backstop.
Woodi and her sister - 12:42am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19022 of 22142)
DaBrewMan Good thinking.....In tonight's clue it also says....."search aMID snow and ice.
HPgirl - 12:42am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19023 of 22142)
already stated my ideas on the iconoclast reference
Gladim Notu - 12:43am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19024 of 22142)
Just think if we all go to bed tonight. Let every search in futility. At daybreak when it light out we want have to hold a lantern or a flashlight. I think it is possible
someone has already dug it up but through it in a pile without knowing. I going out at 6:30 Am. Happy Trails everyone.
P.S. Dan Moore- it is just someone that goes against the traditions of the past. That would explain Conway, never been there.
DaBrewMan - 12:44am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19025 of 22142)
I have a tendacy to believe the medallion is in something brown or silver on the gates of the tennis court or in a tree or bush some where at "eye" level frozen in ice
"eye high on water"

Little Help for all you looking at Highland and Como.
Clue 4- New Park never hid there before
Clue 5- SunRay Library
Clue 6- Ruth (Baseball references game, home)
Clue7- Woodrow Wilson & True Value on Pederson street
Clue 8- Translucent peak (Sunray)
Clue 9- Water tower and 3M sign (Orient) east
Clue 10- Crooner (Conway twitty) Funny Man (Tim Conway)
Doesn't everyone realize that the west end of Conway is a playground , check your map. The east end is considered park. It is East of 2095 Conway how about the
trees at the top of the hill that put together make a 4. 5 on the left 2 on the right of the entrance at the top of the hill. Something to think about

I know, I was just telling you what other people were saying. I was Conway today for 6 hours. I lined myself up with the Water Tower, 3Msign, Through the trees I
could see the word value in the True value hardware sign and one peak on Sunray. No Luck but some older guy kept coming back and watching where I was
digging.

I think it was. I was told once that they find you right away so you don't find someone who has a button to get more money. You know the sidewalk around the
playground, I was right down that hill on the west side of the playground. You can see the true value hardware from there. There were 6 of us digging there and
didn't come up with anything though. We were pretty thorough too.

He was probably about 50 yrs or so and his legs were thin but I couldn't tell about the top half because of a thick jacket. He wasn't wearing very warm clothes and
wasn't digging himself. Slightly balding on top too.

I must admit. I feel kind of bad. I brought along a baseball to have a size idea while digging. Well I dropped it. I am sure that made for some frustrating fun for
someone! I have no idea where I dropped it. But it fell out of my pocket after I got out of the car.

anything like it before.

Well I left at 1am and every bit of snow in between those rinks had been gone over. There really is not that much there when you get 300 people digging there. I
walked through it as I left and it had turned into a soft powder. If it is hidden in something white and is pretty small then it might survive hidden in a small chunk of
snow, otherwise it has or will be found in the next couple of hours.

The tansluscent peak is the community center at conway. It can't be sun rae because those peaks, plural, are transparent. You can see through them. If they were
transluscent you wouldn't be able to see through them. Light would be able to pass through it but no objects are visible.
rupert - 01:24am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19092 of 22142)
Slazenger makes white tennis balls. These are the kind used at Wimbledon. You know you cannot see the ice skating rinks from the tennis courts.

Look back at my previous posts I told you people it is aMID the snow and ice meaning in the middle of the frozen planes and that is the tennis courts!! like where
the net might be if it was up or line up your search and work outwards from the courts towards the water tower staying in the middle of the tennis courts
nalts - 01:35am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19123 of 22142)

rupert - 01:36am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19125 of 22142)
The middle of the tennis courst had a clearing about three feet wide that was dug up all along the place where the net would be.

were the followers....being an Iconoclast means going where it has never been before which is Conway moron

DaBrew Man: Is the gas station sign the one across the freeway? The Conoco sign? I've theorized that there's some relation between the Conoco sign and
"iconoclast" but most people think its too much of a stretch. In any event, it sure hasn't gotten me any closer to finding that little blue puck!
It was great just being out there tonight, watching the lemmings head for the hockey rinks. There actually was still some diggable snow there when I left. I'm just too

I was at the park on Sunday during the day, with binoculars. That's when I noticed the Conoco sign and wondered if it could possibly mean anything. It is amazing
the things one can tie in to the clue when you are scoping with binoculars!!! Also kinda fun to watch people dig, find people you know, and check out landmarks in
the park without walking around the entire place!

Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
Just got back from Conway and read a few posts back. I agree that there is something very suspicious about the hockey rinks. There are three of them, not two, and
no two of the three are the same size. Plus that would be way to easy compared to the rest of these clues, or even clue #11 from last year. Plus, I think it would have
been found by now. Jim Buzz, you're sure about the "PLACES" thing? You wouldn't be pullin gone over on us would you? Because if you're right, that would make
SO MUCH MORE sense.
DaBrewMan - 02:07am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19205 of 22142)

Hi Allison! I just got back from Conway a little while ago. Wouldn't it be something if "places" was the right word, instead of "planes"? It would shed a whole new
light on tonight's clue!

think we can ask the sysop about the typo?
POOH - 02:13am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19216 of 22142)
places or planes ,makes a difference places could mean on hill also, planes means it has to be flat surface
Allison Wonderland - 02:13am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19217 of 22142)

It must be the internet because planes makes no sense to me. If it is plane, it would have to be the hockey rink, yet, like I said, none of them are the same size. If it
places, that is much more consistent with the general vagueness of this years clues and means its not at the hockey rinks (necessarily).

if it is equal planes it can only be the baseballfields or the tenniscourts if it iis equal places it could be anything but it still would not include the icerinks because they
are not of equal size

So what if it is places instead of planes? Any ideas on what that would be? That means we can't eliminate the hills after all.

Places, not planes? Then it would have to be NEWELL!
POOH - 02:20am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19237 of 22142)
places would include hills but it still says equal. planes means a flat surface, such as the tenniscourts or the base ballfields
DaBrewMan - 02:20am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19238 of 22142)
Planes ... example ; half of a whole tennis court half of a whole park and the clue tonight says look a(MIDDLE) amid the snow and ice find the dividing line of two
equal areas

Boy jimbuzz, now I'm going to have to eat some Peanut Butter Captain Crunch to stay awake and figure this out. Thanks alot! But as for myself, I've never gone
downtown to get a paper. It just seems so much more convenient to get the clue from your own home. Whoever would have thought it could make a difference?

Actually thomass, we have...Conway. Clue #10 typically gives the name of the park, and in this case it referred to Conway Twitty and Tim Conway. So matter what
the rest of the clues say, if you want to propose another park, you'll have to explain away Clue #10 before you mention anything else.
DaBrewMan - 02:35am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19255 of 22142)

The PP has been getting very careless the last 24 hours. For a long time they had that message at the top of the page saying that the medallion was hidden in a place
that had "park" in its official name knowing that there was some dispute about that regarding Conway. Then they followed it with a "Really!" as if to imply that we
were all in the wrong place. Then they misprint the clue on the website sending everyone digging in the wrong spot! Maybe they don't want to give that money away.

Just back from Conway. When the clue first came..there was this wave of people all converging to the area of the hockey rinks. Just walls of people. Then the
crowds did disperse some but mostly staying on the rink side of the park. It's there somewhere. We stayed until we could not lift that shovel to chop one more time.
Met some real nice folks there tonight. Those medaling kids, Sethmon, Wright Winger, Pat P. Ian was there with his son, Eags, Cheryl, Mr. Mags, E & H's Mom
and Dad, Green, Dave Young. This board has sure opened the door to meeting some very nice people of all ages.

jimbuzz, you said there were a lot of people in line with you, or did you just mean you waited an hour until they handed them out? What I'm wondering is does
anybody thin the people at Conway right now know about this? Particularly the ones who intend to stay up all night until every inch around those rinks is dug up?

I don't have the years handy but according to the list I made from the coolercrew website of past hiding places it was in Langford, Tony Schmidt Park, Kellogg Mall,
Newell, Acorn, Marthaler Park, Irvine, Mears, & Marydale Park. I may be wrong about the size of a few of them, but it has been in small ones. Check out the
coolercrew website though for more info.

jimbuzz, the other person you're talking about, do you think they told anyone? (Then again, maybe they didn't feel it was in their best interest). I just know when I left
most of the focus was still on the hockey rinks, irregular though they be. I'm almost wondering if I should go out there and tell them.

Actually Terry, I don't think it does for four reasons. 1) There are three rinks there not two, even though maybe only two could really be used for hockey. 2) No two
of those rinks are the same size. 3) Considering how the other clues have gone this year, and even compared to Clue #11 last year, that clue would be just too easy.
4) With all the excavating that took place by those rinks, I think they would have found it.

I think you might be right DaBrewman, it could be in the middle of the two equal places. But what are those places? When I left the tennis court was being cleaned
off by several people. I think the other courts have been pretty well checked out too. So I'm guessing it must be something else.

You caught me...UGH!
Earlier today we were checking around some of the rink area...that area is far from being dug up totally...even with all the people converging on the spot at 11:30. I
don't believe it's right there anyways. The clues give you spots to keep in view or to know they exist even if you stay away from them..like the sledding hill. the side
of the park that the rinks are on, everything else is in view. The peak, the scoreboard, the fields, Ruth St., the water tower and the 3M sign.
Many people who first headed to that area...kind of backed off and resumed digging in the fields. There is nothing else in that park that could be frozen places or
planes that I've seen.
Goodnight X2.

On the other hand, in a park, how many places are there where you can assign a number to the size and compare? You can't exactly say this hill is the same size as
that hill, or this flat area is equal in size to that flat area.

Last year's Clue #11 said to look for a sugary loaf and a yellow stone. Of course they didn't mean literally. It was a reference to Winona and Wyoming. Perhaps this
clue is also a reference to something, and not lieterally two frozen places in the park.

I don't think it is under the ice because 1) it would be a little hard to get to 2) it would mean chopping up an ice rink that is used daily 3) I think someone would have
seen it by now and 4) if it is in something round, I don't think it would fit under the ice without sticking through.

When I heard tonight's clue and then realized the ice rinks were different sizes, the thought that it may be somewhere else passed through my mind but it would be
just too bizarre if Conway fit the clues better than the park the writer had in mind, or else just evil of them to yank our chain that way.

DEB, Did you notice that guy at conway this morning in the yellow? I asked him what he thought and he said he didn't want to comment. He was pretty strange. He
never dug. He just stayed on the hill by the equipment. You think he's a spotter?

I think tonight's episode may disprove the lurker theory. If the lurker knows where it is, they must have been dumbfounded to see such a universal rush on the
hockey rinks. You think they would have called the PP and asked what was going on.

Reason, I think, clue was easier izzit was next to the last one. They're really zeroing in on it - pinpointing it.
And "equal places" could change things... But can't really noodle *how*.

If the real clue says PLACES, that's kind of vague. If there is a spotter out there who knows where it really is, don't you think they would have wondered why
virtually everyone was going to the same (presumably) wrong place? If it were me, I would have called the office and reported something strange and had them
check what the clue said. Yet as far as I know, they still haven't corrected it (haven't checked in the last half hour though).

I know it is the next to the last clue, and I did expect them to zero in, but not that much! And without a fight even! Frozen planes of ice is hardly a veiled reference. I
just can't imagine something so easy to get at, even if the specificness of it didn't bother me. Frozen PLACES of equal size, now that's what I would have expected
from the person who wrote clues 1-10.

Using "places" - you've *still* got the word "frozen." What else out there that's equal - and who says it has to be equal in SIZE, now that I think about it????
Equal can mean "same." And a hockey rink izz a hockey rink, izz a hockey rink!

I think there are two possibilties. One is that they mean to literally find two frozen places in the park, or two, it is a reference to something like sugary loaf and yellow

I'm leaning towards it being two literal places in the park based on the wording of the clue. I don't think its a softball field because there are three of them. Although
one of them is covered with ice right now and the fourth field is a baseball field. It wouldn't be the building because they're not frozen. The parking lots are different
sizes. It seems to me anything in the hills would be hard to judge in size. And the playground has been dug up more than anything. Does that leave anything?

You may be right Treasureman, but I'm not sure. Also, a lot of the trees are about the same size as trees neighboring them, so it could be hard to pick out. But the

could all these people be wrong, am I nuts. Oh well, thanks for the kick in the shorts I needed that :)

We generally believe it refers to a water tower where the water is stored high in the air.

No, technically both poles are but a single point and thus the same size, and both quite frozen.

green it is truly one for the books. When you stand at conway in the middle of all those baseball fields and hockey rinks alot of things add up. But planes of the same
size just don't. I can't believe the clue writer would not notice that the hockey and skating rinks are all different sizes. Maybe as usual I am missing something. This is
a tough year isn't it.
Allison Wonderland - 04:20am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19393 of 22142)

Two frozen places of equal size = North Pole, South Pole. Could it be buried by a pole and someone missed it or just didn't dig thoroughly enough? Are the flagpole
and untility poles the only poles out there?

Does, Howdy... but... Allison actually may bee on to something with hiz N/S Poles. There *are* tons o'poles out there... And, forget about "planes" - I'm pretty
shure it should be "places," as Allison says.
Guys got brains out the wazoo... He has made some XCELLENT points re how the clue was "too easy." And his pole idea is sounding less and less far fetched.
But, too... I'm getting more and more tired! ROFLOLPMP!!!

Good morning! I don't know about nayone else, but this new clue doesn't help me all that much!!! I don't think that the rinks are the same size, so that's out; seeing
two could mean that you have to see both peaks at Sunray, but they're not frozen! ugh!!!!!!!!!
AllieGo - 05:48am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19422 of 22142)
The two hockey rinks look about the same size. The third ice rink is different, the one on the baseball diamond. But I'm game for any new thoughts in that direction.

couldnt frozen also stand for something still as in the tennis courts?

They wouldn't put it in the ice rinks, and I was disappointed yesterday to see that people were putting holes in there and ruining it for the skaters. I would bet that it's
on that side of the park though, which was where we were concentrating on yesterday anyway! I'm sure that it has been thrown around a few times, it's just a matter
of someone being lucky enough to stumble upon it!

amid means between or around. Places does not mean "object" rather a location. This eliminates most of the park.

either have to have the "peaks" lined up or have the Bradley apartments in the way. You can eliminate even more park this way. Your turn.
Dagnabbit - 07:24am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19481 of 22142)
I meant seeker me.
Leah Logan - 07:24am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19482 of 22142)
does anyone have an idea why the clue changed from "planes" to "places" and does anyone know what the paper reads?
Dagnabbit - 07:26am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19483 of 22142)
typo on the web side. The correct work is "places".
Jeanoo - 07:27am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19484 of 22142)
I hope it's found today, I can't take too much more of this anticipation, lol By the way, this is my first year at digging, is it always this nuts?
Seeker me - 01:41pm Feb 2, 1999 CST (#19485 of 22142)
I considered that and from where I was standing there was a tree in the way of the second peak so I could only see one. Places could also mean things couldn't it?
Like maybe two alike things in the playground or something like that?

this is just a thought since the prize is 10,000 - but has anyone thought that there may be 2 medallions- sounds dumb but it was done before back in the 50's.
Diane Carbajal - 07:34am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19490 of 22142)
Does anyone know if there is a bus stop anywhere around the park. Places could also mean a space in which one person or passenger can sit or stand.
Leah Logan - 07:48am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19491 of 22142)
is anyone still on here w/ me?

I'm still here.

yep
Donut Man - 07:53am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19494 of 22142)
I believe that the seeing things twice refers to the two peaks very visible on the southwest side of conway
Seeker me - 07:54am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19495 of 22142)
Does anyone think the reference to Orient means to go to the East side of the park, The East Side of St. Paul or does it mean stay away from the east side?
Donut Man - 07:54am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19496 of 22142)
Really fat guy missed you last night, Hope to see you this morning. I'll be there around 10 with 2 doz donuts in hand for anyone hungry

Gotta go. Meeting #1 for the day is beckoning. I wonder how anyone gets any work done around here, meeting...meeting...meeting.
Seeker, remember the sliding hill on the east side. STAY AWAY FROM IT. The west side is out as far as I can tell. The rest is up in there air. I still think I know
exact location, and I can tell you the majority of the people are in the wrong area (which is fine with me). I'll logon now and again today if you want to discuss
further.

Donut Man - 08:08am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19504 of 22142)
What does seeing a thing twice refer to. And what are two frozen places of equal size
digby - 08:09am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19505 of 22142)
good morning anybodody have any luck
Dagnabbit - 08:12am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19506 of 22142)
Seeing a thing twice: Double Vision??? Twins??? Twin "peaks"??? Amid: Between or around Places: Locations, areas, not objects unless they relate to a location
tennis court would be a place, but not tennis net etc... Frozen: It's all FROZEN. But the places need to be frozen (rink?). The rinks aren't equal size, so either 1)
someone reallllly screwed up on that clue or 2) IT ISN'T around the rinks.
Anyone else???
digby - 08:12am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19507 of 22142)

How bad were the crowds?
Donut Man - 08:14am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19509 of 22142)
Dangnabbit I agree stay away from the rinks . Go west go west

have a hard time believing they would ever put there.
Sno One - 08:16am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19514 of 22142)

hockey mom - 08:18am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19517 of 22142)
It has never been like this. But then in recent years it's been at bigger parks - more room for parking - people scattered out more, etc.
Vicki Kasal - 08:19am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19518 of 22142)
Clue No. 11:
Seeing a thing twice can be quite nice While you're hunting for our prize So as you search amid snow and ice Look for two frozen places of equal size
Dagnabbit - 08:20am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19519 of 22142)

the wall. Totally unacceptable!!!
Brenda Weber - 08:34am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19527 of 22142)
could it mean statues of the same size
Steve Ford - 08:36am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19528 of 22142)
Brenda, I don't think a statue would be considered a place; a statue would be a "thing."
pally - 08:38am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19529 of 22142)
The rinks are different sizes. The new one is for mites. How about the tennis courts? I didn't see any statues.

Sno one--I've been doing this for 18 years. With the exception of a few years 90, 91, 92 when I didn't want to go through the stress! It IS always chaos. In fact, I
think it's been worse in past years! I was out there last night, and while I thought there were quite a few people, I honestly thought there would be more. This is what
makes the whole thing so great!!
JennyJenny
Steve Ford - 08:40am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19534 of 22142)
Are there a lot of people at Conway this morning? I think that a place would be an area of the park used for a specfic purpose....it seems to refer to the size of the
area, not that the area is the exact same thing....
Dagnabbit - 08:41am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19535 of 22142)

Hunteress Hi & Lo - 08:42am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19538 of 22142)
I need to say something to the
PIONEER PRESS. I am very disappointed and upset that you cannot type the
correct clue. With all do respect, my husband and I,
and another family member, spent
HOURS searching a park last night (and for days now)--I am one of the few who
believes it is NOT at Conway--where
"PLANES" were and under
Sycamore trees which are referred to as "Planes." It is nice to know
that every hour we spent was a COMPLETE WASTE of time,
trying to decipher
"planes" looking it up in the dictionary, etc. when it is a TYPO!
That is really, really careless. I can't believe it! How--when you have this
many
people who are really excited by the
hunt and into it--can you type something like that? It's disgusting. Ultra
frustrating to say the least. And what kind of clue is "as
you look in snow and ice"
search for two "frozen places"!? THE WHOLE AREA IS FROZEN!!! I
mean--Come On! It really isn't right. On the 11th clue--that's the
best they can do? I should have been
writing the clues. To me searching for 2 Sycamore trees is a lot more
interesting than scoping out (and digging up) 2 ice rinks.
And geez--if it refers to something
else--2 obscure frozen places--than the clue writer is really into torturing us
all. I thought the whole point of this was to use your
NOGGIN to figure this out. Not to
just wait until the name of the park is given and then demolish it like a bunch
of scavengers. I guess I was wrong.
Steve Ford - 08:45am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19539 of 22142)
Hunteress, I can understand your frustration. It was very misleading. My sons left this morning without knowing which was right: planes, or places. There's no way
for me to contact them. I am stranded without a car. I hope they figure things out, they've put so much time into it, too.
California Dreamin' - 08:45am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19540 of 22142)
SF, I read about that on the cooler last night. The person who posted the message saw the whole thing and even chased the guy away, but the police didn't catch
him. so, yes, you need to watch out for your cars and what's in them. A lot of scumbags out there, I hear. Sorry for the delayed response, but I've gotta try to get
things done in between messages. I'm not at my paid job today, but there's housework screaming my name.

Hi, I have been following your ideas since this hunt started. I wanted to add a suggestion. Since they changed the word this morning I believe it is near two waterfalls.
If there are two water falls by the cathedral in Como that is where it could also be. Or by two firepits near the red ball. Maybe they poured water in the firepits so it
would be frozen when the hunt was on. Good luck to you all. Just wanted to keep you guessing. Maybe you are the iconclast and not believeing ever ones ideas
about conway.
Steve Ford - 08:48am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19543 of 22142)

D man - 08:51am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19546 of 22142)
the reason they changed the clue - (i think) having them refer to frozen "planes" were making people dig up the ice rinks - and PP met and said - hey wait we have to
change this or there isn't going to be anything left of these rinks ..... so making a slight change - changed some stupid peoples minds on digging up an ice rink....and
gave this little game a better twist -
happy hunting!!

is the damn thing?????
Hunteress Hi & Lo - 08:55am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19550 of 22142)

Leah Logan - 08:56am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19551 of 22142)
just a thoughthas anyone else thought that there may be 2 medallions hidden just read #11- it was done that way in 1953- and since the prize is 10,000 who know!!
Hunteress Hi & Lo - 08:56am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19552 of 22142)

I just signed on - what happened last night with the police and someone's car?
Never Ending Hunter - 09:01am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19554 of 22142)
So do we figure that the reason PP mentions "figure" twice is that it is near the figure skating rink that is by the 2 hockey rinks?
Am I way out in left field?
Leah Logan - 09:02am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19555 of 22142)
has anyone thought about what I said - 2 medallions?
Never Ending Hunter - 09:04am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19556 of 22142)
I thought that when they hid 2 in "53 that it was because the first medallion was found so quickly.
Hunteress Hi & Lo - 09:05am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19557 of 22142)
Yes, I think it is a possiblility. I thought that too--way back somewhere around "full" clue.
Leah Logan - 09:05am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19558 of 22142)
it doesn't say that's why when you read about the hunt of 1953
Hunteress Hi & Lo - 09:07am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19559 of 22142)
But how would you know which clues go for which parks? Does anyone know if it's now also-- "sometimes a 4" not "somewhere"? (Amature Hour at PP!)

My mom said something yesterday about two medallions. But, wouldn't that be misleading? They said you would win 10,000. Not split it with the other medallion
finder. But, I guess that could be a typo. Is there anyone who thinks it isn't at Conway? Tell me how your clues lead elswhere.

I don't know if you saw my earlier post regarding last night's typo!? Anyway-- suppossedly there is another typo and that "somewhere a 4" read "sometimes a 4" in
the paper.
Leah Logan - 09:12am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19564 of 22142)
I don't think Conway b/c it is not a PARK- it's rec center I was at HP and Coma last night but not all clues match up it either
Hunteress Hi & Lo - 09:14am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19565 of 22142)
Could be... but last night they kept saying "Park is in the name." It is a park, "really." etc.
Never Ending Hunter - 09:15am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19566 of 22142)
I have a rather silly idea about the number clue, in case anyone is interested.
The phone number for the Conway Rec Center is -9- 5-4- (sorry I couldn't remember the other numbers.
I noticed this the other night when using the facilities.
Hope they are open today.
The Rec Center is close to the rinks.
Hunteress Hi & Lo - 09:16am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19567 of 22142)
It's not at Conway because it would have been found by now! (And not all the clues match up) but maybe it is 2 parks.??
Mrs. Banner - 09:16am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19568 of 22142)
Huntress, i don't know what you are referring to with "amature hour at pp" but i think you mean to spell it A-M-A-T-E-U-R

don't think it is at 2 parks, either. as someone said earlier, mother only did that because someone found the medallion after only 6 clues or something like
that.
however i am open to debate as to whether Conway is even the right park.
you spelled your name wrong, too. there is only one "e" in huntress.

In a way. I just got back and and was reading a few of the recent messages to catch up. I know where it is, but the snow is so hard now I got too tired before I
could cover the area.
Never Ending Hunter - 09:22am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19578 of 22142)
The Hudson shows Conway as a shaded green area which refers to a park in their key.
When it was at Newell many years ago, it took until the last clue.
Newell is a very small park and there were lots of people and it was as dug up as Conway.

If I'm right, the clues, as frustrating as they are, are thing of beauty in terms of misdirection and double meanings. I'll bet they did write this one ahead of time and
saved it for the anniversary.
Leah Logan - 09:24am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19582 of 22142)
so are you saying that the signs all around Conway are incorrect b/c they say Comm and rec center- call Conway talked to 2 people there last night said it used to
be a park but no longer is- If that was the place the signs would say Conway PARK- Just like Como says Park Highland Park just examples

playground equipment - and replace half of the sod at that place - causing caos at two parks - it's rediculous - and not smart

Horndog99 - 09:45am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19611 of 22142)
well its just a guess but they said wrapped quite tight so maybe it is taped to the base in white tape and they said that two guys share it one and the same so
shortstop and second basemen. that also makes sense to the score and shout clues from before.......

Horndog99- I like your theory, but I know that second bases at Conway have been dug up.
It's really hard to dig now. All the clumps are sooo icey.
I think we need a blow torch to melt the stuff.
Never Ending Hunter - 09:53am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19622 of 22142)
Nick- My hunting partner and I drew up a little map of Conway last night. We strolled all over the park and never saw a fountain.
Sorry Leah, I'm still pretty convinced that it is at Conway. Many times it goes to the last few clues and the park is totally torn up. Someone still manages to find it. I
don't have the time left to dig in many parks so I'll stick with my best bet, Conway.

The medallion is in Conway, but its not near the hockey rinks. I knew something was wrong when I realized the rinks were no where near the same size. Plus the
clue seemed way too easy compared to all the other clues. If I had started digging up the snow there, I'd be quite pissed right now. But I can also tell you, the two
frozen objects are not things in the park. Rather they give you a clue as to what to look for in the park.

Hey medallionstallion. They end the hunt Thursday night at midnight, but it will be found by then. It may even be found this afternoon if my theory is right, or may be
found already if the guy digging at my spot when I left got lucky.

I was out from 10:30 to about 1AM. Just enough time to watch the swarm. But the whole clue really bothered me and didn't seem to makes sense. Frozen planes
couldn't be any thing other than the hockey rinks, yet they weren't the same size. Plus that seemed just way too easy compared to the other clues. So mostly I just
watched and poked around a little. When I got home I logged in here and found out that the clue said PLACES instead of PLANES. After thinking about it for a
while I figured it out, had a pretty good idea where the medallion was and went back around a quater to five. Unfortunately the hard snow made it difficult to dig and
with no sleep I soon got tired and eventually left at about 9 this morning. I still think I know where it is though.

I love Minnesota!
Cherokee - you still here? I want to hear your theory on clue #10.
cherokee98 - 10:52am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19672 of 22142)
CA tran - check email...did you get it? What do you think?
Never Ending Hunter - 10:53am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19673 of 22142)
Hi all- I was about to head out to hunt until I reread all the clues. I noticed that they use the word "quite" quite a bit.
"quite a thrill"
"quite a blast"
"quite clear"
"quite tight"
"quite nice"
Any ideas?
Joe Ma Ma - 10:54am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19674 of 22142)
You don't honestly think they would hide it in the same park two years in a row, do you? I guess if you think all the clues point to there, then happy digging, but I
have a sneaky suspicion that it is at Conway.
balloffire - 10:55am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19675 of 22142)
hey there cherokee98 and ca transplant! How about sharing the knowledge with someone who may be thinking on the same wave?!!
nathan roub - 11:01am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19676 of 22142)
there are other planes of equal size
Never Ending Hunter - 11:01am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19677 of 22142)
It sure got "quiet". Is everyone still talking or did you all go to the library?
balloffire - 11:01am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19678 of 22142)
never ending hunter i think that "quite" is just used that much due it its ability to rythme! What were you thinking?

The Press changed the clue from last night. It is "places" not "planes" as was originally posted at 11:30.

Never Ending Hunter - 11:05am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19685 of 22142)
balloffire- I was thinking that maybe we should look at the word itself or it's context and "figure" out a twist.

nathan- I know that there's been an RV that shows up at the right park every year (for at least the last 4 years). It can usually be spotted close to the spot the last
few days of the hunt.
Mrs. Banner - 11:08am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19694 of 22142)
Nathan, what are you saying?
Tim Yearneau - 11:09am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19695 of 22142)
The clues says "frozen places" not "frozen planes" like erroneously thought and a lot of others thought too, could make a difference.
CA Transplant - 11:09am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19697 of 22142)
I love Minnesota!
Nathan - think of places as in places you could go visit, not actual places in the park
Kristine Harris - 11:10am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19698 of 22142)
I was out there at 7:30 this morning and i have to say there was a good 100 people out there already then
balloffire - 11:10am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19699 of 22142)
Just a thought about peoples behavior- think that to many people are not getting enough sleep, getting a little to frustrated, and a little bit greedy? What are your
thoughts?
CA Transplant - 11:11am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19700 of 22142)
I love Minnesota!
Kris, I would think it would be like a big team effort kind of thing. If I was out digging and someone else found it I would still be happy for them, you know. How
sad that other people are getting cranky! If someone shoved me, my husband would have SHOVELED him upside the head! Ha ha
Tim Yearneau - 11:11am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19701 of 22142)
I wonder what will happen if 5 people see the medallion at once, will it be a free for all like WWF Wrestling..."The Axe is back, the Axe is back to stay"
jacques villeneuve - 11:11am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19702 of 22142)
Ok, a medallion hunter dies and goes to heaven. He/she asks god "God, where is the medallion hidden this year? You know what God says in reply? "Well, I have a
theory on that".
Kristine Harris - 11:11am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19703 of 22142)
anyone figure out the round and white and stretched tight clue?
CA Transplant - 11:12am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19704 of 22142)

I think Balloffire may be right, to some extent. Personally, I am feeling a little burned-out myself. Part of me almost hopes someone finds the thing already because
now that I am so into this hunt I just can't let it go. And I hate having to work today . . . and tomorrow if this goes on that long!
Kristine Harris - 11:13am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19706 of 22142)

Downloaded a satellite photo of Conway from microsofts terraserver site taken in April '91. A lot of features of the park look the same. Tennis court and baseball
diamonds look to be in the same position. Check out: Satellite photo of Conway from Microsoft's terraserver site taken in April '91 if you're interested...

I have not found a single clue yet except for the last that actually told me anything except that it is hid in conway..maybe I am just not understanding though

When I was out there yesterday,it was pretty hacked up.They are going to need alot of grass seed or sod to repair the ground. I was by one of the ice rinks. Are
they tore up bad?
pally - 11:17am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19716 of 22142)
Okay, settle an argument. When does the medallion have to be found? I say tomorrow at Midnight. My girlfriend says that since they say Thursday at midnight, that
would be tonight. Because when it's midnight, it's Thursday. Any answers?
CA Transplant - 11:17am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19717 of 22142)
I love Minnesota!
I don't want to give it away, but there were a couple messages from some people who are out digging or sleeping now that seemed to have it right. I think, the
'frozen places of equal size' is a play on words and it's not really actual things like hockey rinks, tennis courts. Think global, as in a globe of the earth. Do you see to
frozen things of equal size?

At least I'm housebroken
Hey the greens, no wonder it was a little slow. I was doing the same thing just a few minutes ago.
My theory last night was to find a spot where none of the visual clues could be seen (and thus be an iconoclast). It didn't work, but at least I got to move some nice
easy snow.
cherokee98 - 11:20am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19722 of 22142)

Steven Fredricks - 11:21am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19724 of 22142)
The prize is hidden between two poles the north light "pole" and the south light "pole"
Kristine Harris - 11:21am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19725 of 22142)
what do you mean ca?
CA Transplant - 11:22am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19726 of 22142)

Right on, Steven. Either that, or it's taped to the top of them or something.
Steven Fredricks - 11:22am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19727 of 22142)
The last clue said to look for two frozen places.
Steven Fredricks - 11:23am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19728 of 22142)
There is quite a distance between these two poles
Kristine Harris - 11:23am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19729 of 22142)
I stood and dug and dug and dug and dug etc. inbetween those damn poles
CA Transplant - 11:23am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19730 of 22142)
I love Minnesota!
I think the 'two frozen places' are 'poles', as in the north and south pole. But, since I've not been to the park and probably will not get to go dig, I have no idea where
poles might be and where exactly to look. Tonight's clue will give us that.

HEy Pat, are we going to get together tonight again, if the madness isn't stopped before then? I still think that iconoclast means that its in a park it hasn't been before.
Kristine Harris - 11:24am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19732 of 22142)
ughhhhh...doesn't it seem weird that this seems to be only clue to guide us on where to start digging?there has to be something that we are missing...
jacques villeneuve - 11:24am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19733 of 22142)
Look everyone, conway is torn to shreds, i really dont think its there

It's there, you just have to keep looking.

noelle - 11:25am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19736 of 22142)
Just a hunch....two frozen PLACES (NORTH POLE & SOUTH POLE) Now just find the right pole and jump on it!! (with your shovel of course)!!
Let me know what you think of that idea.
Woodi and her sister - 11:25am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19737 of 22142)
I would start in the middle.....aMID is a word in the clues. Yes I am at work too. My patients are helping me with the clues.

Well, it is for $10,000 this year so they're not doing us any favors. Based on clue 10 I don't see how it could be any park other than Conway though...keep looking
for those poles. Maybe they're flag poles or something? Don't know, haven't been there. :-(
Kristine Harris - 11:26am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19740 of 22142)
lol patients....
balloffire - 11:26am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19741 of 22142)
Question to those digging? I didn't get to go yesterday- how much of the field has been gone through. Is it a mess? Just thinking on a differant idea for the north south

Steven Fredricks - 11:27am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19743 of 22142)
Tonight the clue will narrow it down to pretty much the exact location. It is probably located between the two poles but in relation to something else.
noelle - 11:27am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19744 of 22142)
I've been there before/during/and after work!! My back is aching to much to go out during lunch today though!! Good luck to all you hunting to day ...hope one of
you finds it to put me out of my misery! :-)
Kristine Harris - 11:28am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19745 of 22142)
ok at the beginning of the clues they made it pretty evident don't you think that it is at conway so......do you think that clue that gave conway as a name....might mean
conway ave.?
CA Transplant - 11:28am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19746 of 22142)

Tim - do you really think they'd expect us to have to get a satellite photo to find the darn thing! Ha ha. Good angle though, but I think the focus is a little more narrow
at this point.
Noelle - that's the theory that we're all thinking at this point, about the poles. Just need to find which poles at the park.
Steven Fredricks - 11:28am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19747 of 22142)
Of course the amount of trampled down snow and ice may make it near immpossible to find it. It may not even be in the same spot anymore.
Woodi and her sister - 11:29am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19748 of 22142)
I'm done working at 12 and am heading over. I will search out the poles and report back
Steven Fredricks - 11:29am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19749 of 22142)
I would think it would be the largest poles in the park, hence the light poles.
J.S. ROSE - 11:30am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19750 of 22142)
Was there till 3AM last night.... Have ahunch.....!!!!!!!
Steven Fredricks - 11:31am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19751 of 22142)
The prize is always hidden somewhere that is somewhat verifiable. It always has some kind of reference point to locate it.
CA Transplant - 11:31am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19752 of 22142)

Stallion - the last clue comes out tonight (Wed.) at 11:30 p.m., so you have until Thursday night at midnight, 23 1/2 hours, to find it.
Kristine Harris - 11:31am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19753 of 22142)
I know where there are 2 poles and at that spot you can clearly see only one translucent peak and the water tower and the 3m sign but ughhhh
Tim Yearneau - 11:32am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19754 of 22142)
Anyone know anyone working at the Department of the Defense, maybe we could get them to fly a satellite over today and find the medallion for us....let's put
technology to work....hehehehehe

Tonight they will give us that reference point and everybody can fight to the death at that point. Believe me in about 5 minutes the area will be stripped of any kind of
ice or snow.

At least when I'm typing on my computer it will sound like I'm working. Now I'm tempted to go back and find those two poles!!! Shouldn't be too hard to do now.

Cuold be the poles--two flag poles SSW of where I stood last nite. Along W/ two Amaco signs, The pyrmids and hockey rinks. I hav'nt even said what one of the
basic clues let out......
pally - 11:45am Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19765 of 22142)
I think the round and white and stretched quite tape is a roll of hockey tape.

I think the round and white and stretched quite tight could be a balloon, but I don't think that would hold up well against the ice and snow. It could be fabric of some
sort, elastic or something. A lot of people think tape, but tape itself isn't round, the roll of tape is...I don't know, it's mind boggling. Can't wait for tonight's clue.

I knew it would come down to tonight, but even that might not work.
The damn thing probably got shuffled from one pile to the other and now is 500 yds from where the scum bag hid it!
Nick East - 12:07pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19770 of 22142)
The water fountain that is shaped like a four is easily identifiable if you are near the playground area and look straight west. I think it is worth something.

Good one, quick turn. Ha ha. But, the clue says that they share the same name one as the first name and the other as the last name so that doesn't fit.

Why would they want us all digging in that part of the park? It is all getting wrecked. There is a clue that says don't get to close to the action. I think it is in the other
part of the park away from the action.

balls on the high wire lines so planes don't hit them. Crosby farm could be a blast from the past. But what realy bothers me is that they have not found it yet at

Missy, yes they changed the clue from Planes to Places. It was a typo, and from what people have said here one of the cooler crew had to call them at 7:45 this
morning and tell them. They didn't even know.
CA Transplant - 12:37pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19800 of 22142)

Dan and barbi - the comedian is Bill Cosby, and the clue says they share the same name but it's the first name of one and the last name of the other so your Crosby
thing doesn't work in this case. Come up with someone with a funny man with a first name of Crosby and you're in business - but I don't think there is such a person.
Joe Ma Ma - 12:37pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19801 of 22142)
dan and barbie, I have NEVER heard of a funny guy named Crosby. Bill's last name is COSBY with no R.
pally - 12:38pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19802 of 22142)
It's Bill Cosby, not Crosby, so that doesn't work. However, just for kicks, by Lindwood, there's a Milton street. Crooner Burl Ives, funny man Milton Berle.

Bill COSBY not CROSBY! So no go on that clue. Plus NONE of the other clues fit
Tim Yearneau - 12:39pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19805 of 22142)
The problem with Crosby is that the clues says the FIRST is a Crooner, Conway is Conway Twitty's first name. The clue says the LAST is a funny man, Tim
Conway's last name is Conway...in the case of Cosby, both are last names.

I was at Conway digging Monday and Tuesday night and had a thought... These poor kids!!! All the kids who "hang out" and play at Conway... Their park is now
so crowded and torn apart... I started thinking that perhaps Pioneer Press should donate money to Conway after all this is done so they can put their park back in
order!!!! I also decided, if I should find it (I know, a long shot), that I would donate probbably $1000 of the prize to Conway for "pain and suffering".... Don't get
me wrong, I love the hunt!!! Just thinking of the kids here.... If Conway has to use some of it's money to fix the park, it is the kids who will loose out on new
uniforms, equipment, etc...

There are lots of electrical poles/light poles out there. But I picked the ones on the north side and one on south side and started digging in the middle right across
from a green pole in the ground with numbers on it. I saw the drinking fountain but no ideas if that figures in there or not. Everyone else seems to have their own logic
about where its hidden.
cherokee98 - 01:16pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19857 of 22142)
ok everyone, I'm trying to be creative. Help me out...I was thinking the N. and S. poles AND the "pointer" could suggest the compass on the little peninsula at Como
Lake. There are trees lined upto that point. Clue 10 could easily be Conway, that's the obvious answer. However, Perry Como and Matthew Perry have the same
name. The clue does not say the park has to be the shared name (Perry). Could be suggesting Como Park. "orient" basically means east. There is an Estabrook St.
to Como Lake. The "quite clear" clue could be either the Golf club house on the other side of the street or the Conservatory on the hill. The "pointer" could also
mean the Space Needle at the State Fair, which is visible from some places around Como Lake. The "red object" could be the roof of the Pavillion on the Lake,
which is directly across from the compass. And here's the kicker - the hours for the grounds at Como Zoo are 9 to 5. The buildings on the grounds are open until 4.
Thus, "a 9 and 5 and SOMEWHERE a 4". That "somewhere" could mean the buildings. There are signs posted that the medallion is not located within gated
grounds at Como but that doesn't mean the rest of the park grounds.

nothing more...or not?

Shan, at this time it's the concensus that the 'two frozen places' from today's clue are the north and south poles. From that, we're trying to find poles at the park. Go
figure. Tonight's clue will give us the exact location for sure. But, it's fun to speculate until then.

Rogue S. Hunter - 01:27pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19873 of 22142)
Its obvious why people originally thought that clue 11 refered to the Hockey rinks.
What else could it have been if "Planes" had been correct.
Axehandler - 01:27pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19874 of 22142)

Well, Shan, when they first posted the clue it said 'planes', but then they changed it and said there was a typo! Now it says 'places'. Yikes! That's a big boo boo,
don't ya think, considering a million people are looking for this thing.

stupid medallion so I've haven't shared them yet. Want to see what the response is on #19857 first.

don't know why you are ditching Newell. The famous name and the "valuable sign" in Clue 7 could both be referring to the Ford plant (Henry Ford and
the big Ford oval sign facing Ford Pkwy). The 9, 5, and 4 in Clue 3 mean 2 things: the park is in a place where the KS95 radio tower is in sight (Newell),
and it means that the medallion is in a KS95 State Fair bag that is sealed and shrunk tight with a hair dryer (both are from Clues 3 and 8). See what I
mean?

"gettin' ready"
I would like to thank the media for publicizing the location of the 'park' (or is it a park?) We had to work over seven days to get there, and now every clown in 14
counties gets directions. Oh well, at least the Conway Circus and Zoo is well stocked with entertainment.
IDIOTS with car scrapers, PLASTIC shovels and rakes, the WHOLE Pioneer Press, etc. I got quite a few laughs.
I talked to the Director of the 'park' and she wasn't really very helpful about logistics for the Re-Hash Bash. Did say that there's no outside electricity, tho.
I did very little digging, as I truly feel if it is buried, it would have been found. I'm not sure where I'm thinking, certainly not IN a tree, but that's my take on it. After
four days of turning over the same snow, shouldn't it have been found? (Pat P.--you may be the TRUE iconoclast.)

to the south the has a piramyd shape Transulent peak. In clue 5 Conway rec put in a peewee hocky arena for the new kids to learn how to play the game and to
learn to skate. Clue 3. Numbers 9 and 5 adorn the front door right behind a score board and a sign that reads NO Golfing Clue 2. There are sliding hills to the east
of the area.

Don't look at the wood boarders. and i'm sure that the size is estimated. If you omit the wood boards it looks to be pretty close to the same size

Iconoclast: Thomas Conway was the head of a conspiracy to remove George Washington as commander of the Continental Army. Iconoclast if I ever heard of one.
There is a seemingly Vacant house at 459 Ruth St., If you line up all the clues I'd say along the first base side of the Baseball diamond, but I was digging there on
Sunday, and Mondy night, and it's pretty well dug up. Although I must admit that some people out there seemed pretty non chalant about being to thorough.
Personally I think someone already found it, and is just sitting back laughing at us. My question is: the PP states medallion ust be turned in immediately, but how
would they know? What would be penalty?

I heard there's a sensor on the medallion that let's the pioneerpress know that someone has found it (or has even shoveled near it) That might be how they know if
someone doesn't come in right away.

Conway is so dug up, if it was there they would have stumbled upon it by now it's not at conway too many people ther for it not to have been found it is so hard to
even find a place to start there
Flippy - 02:23pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19966 of 22142)
As far as knowing whether the medallion is turned in immediately- I've heard that the PP has people watching the site, to make sure that if it is found, it is turned in
promptly. Can anyone confirm?
jennyjenny - 02:24pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19967 of 22142)

Are you nuts? Not at Conway? Come on, give your ideas on the clues and why they point to crosby. I'd rather not dig at all then dig at some park at this point in the
game where there's NO chance in finding it.

The medallion is not at Conway either. It is at Crosby, Bing Crosby and Norm Crosby the Comedian. And you can see the No.1 sign for the red object up high.

web-crossing means the server is busy

Mrs. Banner, I am not new to the hunt itself, just to this year's clues. Usually, after Clue 10 or so, people have a pretty good fix on what park the medallion is in. I
was just asking if anyone minded bringing me up to speed.

A- some of us are stuck at work for a while. (It is a weekday.) Personally, I'll join you in a few hours.

Grant M...whats the translucent peak at Crosby?
Nick East - 02:28pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19980 of 22142)
Some of us have JOBS. What do you think of that, A?
starbury - 02:28pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19981 of 22142)
Where is Crosby?
Grant Michaels - 02:28pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19982 of 22142)
It said places in the paper.
Mary Weisenburger - 02:28pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19983 of 22142)
We all think it is at Conway park because of the clue pertaining to the first name of the "crooner" and last name of a funny man, thus Conway Twitty, and Tim
Conway.

Ok, you asked for our thoughts---could be Como transulsent peak, the conservatory. Red object and orient, the airport, must be able to see it from somewhere at
Como. Can you see the conservatiory from the bandstand? Or could be near the ball fields over there also. Where are any figurines near there? Tie in 9 5 & 4. Lots
of things tie in, sorry to burst any bubbles. Minature golf course near the rides.

Clue 10 Name Bing Crosby, Norman Crosby very old. Pointer the lights in the sky for the plains (all red) Translucent peak radio and air traffic control. street lined
with trees Water fall water on high?? Most clues fit some are far fetched but I think they are catering to the older generation on this one. Sorry web crossing down
again.

If you are using the air traffic control tower to fit one of the clues, I'd really have to disagree with you. First, because there is no way they would want anyone to dig
around there- it's illegal even to park within 50 feet of an air traffic control tower. Secondly, MSP airport is not in St. Paul- it's in Richfield.

lu lu...good enough, thanks. I find this all very interesting as I can't go out and dig myself anymore I can enjoy the hunt from my armchair! Good luck to everyone!

Mrs. Banner: I love how productive you are at
your place of work.
Grant Michaels - 02:33pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19994 of 22142)
Translucent Peak is the Capitol.
Flippy - 02:34pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19995 of 22142)
The capitol isn't translucent.
Randi - 02:34pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19996 of 22142)
Crosby is right off of sheppard road hidden falls park it was hidden there I think some time in the 50's early 60's
FlyFan88 - 02:35pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19997 of 22142)
Flippy- I'm not agreeing with whoever you're talking to, but if the tower being in Richfield is true, it shoots down the theory of the 3M sign for Conway because 3M
isn't in St. Paul either.
Mrs. Banner - 02:35pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19998 of 22142)
A: your graphics are cool! are you at work or why aren't you digging? it's a drag, isn't it! my luck it will be found at about 5:00, just when I can finally get out there!
Mike Vig - 02:35pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#19999 of 22142)
It can not be in como. the list of places from previous years does not repeat a park for at least 6 years
Grant Michaels - 02:36pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20000 of 22142)
They mean Downtown St.Paul airport idiot.
Randi - 02:36pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20001 of 22142)
No from Crosby Park you can see all of that I'm not saying to go dig up the air port
