Not me. I took a nap and just got up so it will be 15 minutes before my brain starts to work again.

Hi Mom! I've been noodling past hiding spots and other trivia trying to pass the time. It's getting ridiculous. Last year we would have had the clue by now.

I agree with you: Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy & Scooby. By clue 2 we usually know absolutely nothing. It will all make more than enough sense in 10 short days from now, but all the clues point to everywhere and very well might for quite some time. All the way up through the translucent peak clue last year, I could've shown you at least 5 parks that could have legitimately fit every clue.

Yep it is almost time, anyone got a cell phone down to the press building, if we get the clue from someone in line we can post it here before it comes out on the planet, now that would be irony!

I still think the capitol grounds area.

Not just winning the lottery...but there's something almost supernatural, kind awe---some about participating in this. When else and where else can you stand in a park in the middle of the night with bond fires roaring, scoops of snow flying, and yet it's perfectly legal...not too mention it gives you the sort of power that only, say, Jim Rockford has had up until this point...It's a wonder of the world.

Basic rule of thumb: the earlier the clues clearly point to one park the larger the park. It is way, way too early for Palace, though maybe not for Newell (when is it ever too early for Newell)?

One useful site I used last year was the USGS Terraserver (terraserver.microsoft.com I think, but you can search engine it). This site has aerial photos of most of Minnesota, and it was actually quite useful to mark the landmark clues at Conway (3M Bldg, water tank, mall pyramids and such). Not that I found the Medallion, but at least I drew some lines near where it should have been.

I'm a downtowner but a few blocks away if someone has a cell they could go down there, get the clue, call back into us and we could post it before the planet has a chance to, that should serve them right for pushing back the posting time.

There were a lot of words in that clue that could be rearranged to make another. Astute just happened to be one of the longer ones. I think if they wanted you to do that, the gist of the clue would have been geared more towards hinting at a word game.

Some area south of Highland's Water Towers would now seem to be favored, if only I weren't sure it was Newell.

Highland is definitely large enough to indicate early.

Of course it might not be a water tower.

Terry, I think the clue could be interpreted two ways. 1) If you're in the park, you look to the north and see two towers. 2) Look in the northern part of St Paul, where there will be two towers within view. I tend to believe the former...

I am always full of info on Newell, and some of it is true too. Smallish park on the south edge of Pierce Butler at Fairview. While I constantly push it (I live a block away) it is a little too early to jump all over it.

Phalen can be trouble, because of the Maplewood border deal. I think they had trouble the last time it was up there.

From the treaure site itself, you can see at least one, and probably two, of the skyscrapers in downtown St. Paul.

Typically, this doesn't narrow it down much at all, but it does kinda cross Swede Hollow off.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt medallion is not hidden on private property, newspaper officials reminded the public after learning Monday that some treasure hunters had gone onto St. Paul Water Utility property at the water tower near Highland Park.

When some treasure hunters began digging in the snow near the water tower, St. Paul Water Utility staff ushered treasure hunters from the property.

The medallion is not hidden on Water Utility property near any city water tower.

Do not destroy property. Those who do risk forfeiting the prize.

``We really want to stress that people not destroy property,'' Buscaglia says. ``With this added incentive, there's going to be a lot more enthusiasm, but it's really important that we maintain the city in good shape.''

Don't forget to consider the anti-clues. No mention yet of water. No mention of woods or scenery. No mention of sledding or picnic facilities. Usually these are the kind of generic items that can be found in many parks that they usually allude to in early clues. So, although there are still more clues to come, its possible that the correct park has none of these things. Or, if it is a big park, I suppose its also possible that its just the hiding place that is not near any of those things.

He doesn't have a direction in the sense that the winds have directions, but you know his direction isn't South. Boreas is always associated with the cold of the North.

how many medallion hunters does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

I think this is the first important clue. Obviously the "two towers" has potenial, but I think that if someone can decode the part about King Boreas's direction, that could be a crucial piece of the puzzle. And no, I don't think it means "look north." King Boreas is not really the King of any particular "direction," and this interpretation seems too obvious. Then again, this IS about the time to give away a general sense of the area of town to look in... But I don't think north is the anwer; I think it's something more complex.

In years past medallion hunt clues King Boreas refered to the city of Saint Paul.

It might mean the North part of the city, it might mean you have to stand in the park and look north to see the towers, but I believe North is the direction. St. Paul is his realm, but there's no point in saying look in St. Paul since Clue #1 already does. I really don't think you can associate any other direction with Boreas.

Maybe the towers are between St. Paul and the park. So when you are in the park and look in Boreas' direction you would see the towers.

You'd have to define "St. Paul". Is that to say downtown? If you're in a park in St. Paul, then any direction would be St. Paul. If you mean downtown, it makes a lot more sense, except that I thought the realm of Boreas was all of St. Paul, not just downtown? Not a bad idea, but my gut still says North.

I really like your idea, Mr. Med Hunter. Assuming King Boreas holds court in or near downtown (at the main festivities), it makes sense to look that direction for the towers. But I still feel like something is not being considered; I think there is something more to this clue.

I think this clue is just narrowing down the spot in the park where it is hidden. Very similar to the Domes when it was at cherokee, and the 954 at Conway. If your lucky enough to guess the correct park at this point this clue will help but not until you get to the correct park.

After the poster's name is a set of two numbers showing the number of the post and the total number of posts (i.e. 335 of 350). The first number is underlined. If you click on it, it will put that post at the top of the page and if there are any new posts, they will follow, so just click on the last post of the page to refresh.

As for tools, I just bought this rake thing last night. The blades are very short and curved like semicircles. Looks like a whole bunch of little ice choppers all in a row with a perpendicular handle. Looks like it would be great for sifting snow or chopping ice. Also have a flat end shovel just in case. Can't wait to use them.

Hello Fellow Hunters! Ok. So has anyone given thought to the tower reference and Highland? "A tower or two"... the "one" old brick water tower across from the "two" new water towers . Hmmm? Maybe?



Treasure Digger - 11:10am Jan 25, 2000 CST (#1160 of 28288)  Mark Reply

I looked up info. on King Boras. He's considered the "north wind" and I have to agree with the theory of the "North" direction with looking for the 1 or 2 towers. I'm not having any feelings on a park downtown because the theory of downtown doesn't seem to fit. It has to be a park that can easily see St. Paul and it being in the north direction of the park while 1 or 2 towers are visible. Now that I'm totally confused. I did throw out the concept of Battle Creek last night here in a post with the theory of "Ace" being a fighter in a "battle", hince, Battle Creek. Any thoughts?

Where did you find information that said King Boreas was the "north wind"?



Climbing Princess - 11:39am Jan 25, 2000 CST (#1164 of 28288)  Mark Reply

From battle creek, looking "north" would be consistent with boreaus x-country event at phalin. An indirect connection but can be made.

Or, west toward downtown where 'boreaus' is housed/crowned.

I like the ace/battle connection. Battle is near an airport too isn't it? Also, 'ace' can be a diamond. Diamond markers are used for 'hardest' x-country skiing trails, which are plentiful in battle creek. Not sure where the water towers or others are in/near this park.

If Boreas is crowned at Roy Wilkins then I would have to say Kellogg, especially with those first two clues both possibly suggesting the Wild. I still hold my contention that the medallion is taped to a Wild Hockey Puck (perhaps with ACE Bandage Tape).

Okay, I’m brand new to this message board stuff, so forgive me if I breach an etiquette or two. But here is my take. Clue one, it’s in St. Paul, maybe in the general vicinity of Swede Hollow (Vikings reference). Kinda vague, but so be it. Clue 2 leads me to believe it may be somewhere in the area of the Metro State St. Paul Campus. “Set your own pace” (Metro State is for working adults who primarily attend part time), “it could make you an ace” (acing a test?) Or for the airport buffs, Holman field is right down the bluff and across the river. “get yourself out and into the chase (reference to the Paper Chase?) Clue 3, Of course the New Main building at Metro has twin towers. The reference to King Boreas’ direction could mean downtown, or the site of the last ice castle, which is the home of King Boreas. I’m thinking Mounds Park? Maybe Swede Hollow.

The Diggin' Life Ain't No Good Life, But It's My Life.

There are also more than a few cellular towers in or near many of the parks.

My knee-jerk reaction after seeing this clue was "great, now we're getting somewhere." However after thinking a little, it really doesn't narrow it down much. The clue could mean:

1. North-- you must look north in order to see the towers (from any park where towers are visible)...referring to the actual location of the medallion. Or if you are in a northern park, look for 2 (unspecified) towers in any direction.

2. St. Paul-- you must face downtown St. Paul from the appropriate park to see the previously mentioned towers. Keep in mind this could be a tower such as the 1st bank building, a water tower, or a cellular tower.

3. North AND St. Paul-- you must be to the south of downtown St. Paul, and be able to look in Boreas' direction (north) AND his direction (downtown St. Paul).

The only thing I have truly taken from this clue is that the park most likely has a direct line of sight to downtown St. Paul. I agree with a previous post about what HASN'T been mentioned: water, woods, etc.... Then again we're still only 3 clues in.

Noodle with me.

P.S. If Mr. 3.1415 happens to show up again tonight and starts Joe-ing everybody, I emphasize the importance of taking the high road: silence-- he will go away, then.
