Terry, Ali & Larza, too!

I like the baseball theory too. It's the most obvious reference the clue could have, but I think it's probably the right one.

Makes for a tough hunt if the treasure is not next to a landmark. Baseball field works well for that.

I was on the home to third baseline at Conway...An awesome hunt.

never learned chess....always wanted to...

weim guy - 02:56am Jan 26, 2001 CST (#17261 of 28288)  Mark Reply

ok....

add up..."our deal" references to cards. east and west...both sides or hands in the game of bridge.

any parks where you can see a bridge from first base of a ballfield?

D - Was it right on the line? Or just by it? Your killing me, I thought it was in that field between the baseball diamond and the ice rinks

Harriet Island/Lilydale regional park has baseball feilds. Is this park diffrent then Harriet Island Park?



weim guy - 03:00am Jan 26, 2001 CST (#17264 of 28288)  Mark Reply

how long does a game of bridge go? would either east or west deal on the fiftieth hand? or the first (st paul was there first)



Dickaroo - 03:00am Jan 26, 2001 CST (#17265 of 28288)  Mark Reply
Terry, Ali & Larza, too!

No, there was a mad rush to that small field between baseball diamond and the ice rinks, and that whole area got dug up in astounding speed.

It was actually off the first base line toward the boulevard referenced by a street name, as I recall.

That rush for the ice rinks was awesome, though.



Dickaroo - 03:01am Jan 26, 2001 CST (#17266 of 28288)  Mark Reply

actually an address, I think



weim guy - 03:01am Jan 26, 2001 CST (#17267 of 28288)  Mark Reply

jl...if harriet has ball parks i'm going with that park.

boats and bats...look about 10 feet off first base between first and second bases.

if there are two or more fields it'll be in the east or west field.

Thanks D - I remember that address too. If I'd only kept digging past home plate. :( I was digging there before the ice rink clue.

You're right about that clue being awsome. I have excellent video of that nights dig. Locust big time!

Clue - I know you do. Per our previous message yesterday, sounds like it hurt big time (Merriam Park did it for me in '99 because of the book reference that I mistook for MERRIAM WEBSTER dictionary writer. It meant RUTH at Conway).

I did learn a valuable lesson though. To calm down and use what little brain cells I have left to save me time (and pain) in the long run. MLK was right at the height of my 'physical' searching career.

check this out from the 12/1/00 star trib

There may be a new act in the saga of the University of Minnesota Centennial Showboat, which almost was ready to reopen near Harriet Island on the St. Paul riverfront until fire destroyed the 101-year- old boat during a major reconstruction last winter.

The Mardi Gras thing tonight was kinda fun. It was good because it made a lot of the searchers stay together before the paper came out watching the Klondike Kate's throw beads and Mardi Gras stuff all over.

They also gave a trip away, right on the spot, to anywhere Sun Country flys. Better than freezing my butt off outside the PP.

Good Morning!

I wanted to go out last night and D-I-G!!

I am really liking Como for this hunt, but I don't want it to be there...parking can be a nightmare, and with all the events they've got going out there....

Still have a couple runner ups that will probably be proven wrong in the next couple clues.

Gotta work today, but hoping to get out of there early....it would be nice to get to a park in the *daylight*!

Have a super day, all - and happy digging to those of you who are able to get out there!

It just took me about 45 minutes to, I believe the work is "slog" through all the messages since midnight.

Looks like Como was a clear winner in last night's discussion. Also some mention of Harriet. Does anyone have a clear take on which might be the stronger choice?

It seems like every year we want it to be at Como...but I just don't see it. Doesn't everyone agree that Clue #4 means it's on the East Side or West Side?

Leads me to Mounds Park now (all those "circular" burial mounds) on the East Side.

Haven't posted since the hunt in '98. See you out there!

Clue 1 Go through the cold and prepare to be bold, Or you won't find the secret item. Our beloved St. Paul is the place for gold; Dig elsewhere and you'll search ad infinitum.

Last year at Newell our fate was most cruel; Unfortunately the game ended too soon. Come now and prepare for a much tougher duel; Keep on your toes or you'll hunt until June. the first letters of each line spell out "GOOD LUCK." There appears to be something more to the first clue than usual, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Clue 2 There's no need to destroy as you deploy For the hunt in our wonderful town. Golf courses and statues you must not annoy, And please steer clear of all private ground. It's likely that they are just stretching out the obvious clues this year so they get well beyond last year's seven.

Clue 3 Circular thinking can be one way of linking To the treasure that lies out of view. Your bank account won't be shrinking If you can figure out this clue. The first real meaty clue.

Clue 4 East and west are part of our test, Though only one is the proper place. If this choice leaves you depressed, Playing might put a smile on your face.

Clue 5 A man of steel cannot be real, But another has plenty of mettle. Look for his name around our deal, And you'll be in very fine fettle.

To escape the herd find a peaceful bird Somewhere deep in the snow. Our treasure is boxed inside the word, And that's what you need to know.

Clue 6 The prize is at a place with lots of space Where riding around can be fun But you'll have to move off base If you hope to be the victorious one

I've been close to The Med, but not as close as some here. This izz my 4th year. But it seems like my first. Every year seems like my first! And the first one (Chair-O-Key) seems like it was just last week...

I honestly don't think they've given the actual park yet. I think they've narrowed it down to a couple big ones but really at this point I think they've more focused on clues inside the park as to the location of the prize.

I'm thinking a rather big park that includes: a statue of a courageous man, bike paths, softball diamonds, big playground on either the west or east side of the park....anyone else on this track?

I OWE, I OWE, So it's off to dig I go!

Hello Hunters!

Here are my thoughts, for what it's worth. Is it possible that the Medallion is Valley Park. I Know that VP is in Roseville, but the rules state that "The Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt medallion is hidden on public land in Ramsey county. Here's why I think it's Valley Park.

1. In clue #2 thre therence to "circular" only refers to the fact that the medallion is round. The rest is just garbage to throw us off.

2. Clue #3 talks about East & West, just more more stuff to confuse people. The Important bit from this clue is the word "depressed". A valley is a depression.

3. The "man of steel" refernece in clue #5 is definitely a rereference to Superman. One of the actors who played Superman was Christopher Reeves. We know he "mettle", just look at all he has gone through, talk about courage! Christopher Lane, is located at the NW corner of Valley Park. Clue #5 also tells us NW that the medallion is hidden in a Dove Bar ice cream box. referring to the "peaceful bird" and "boxed" inside.

As for today's clue, I'm still figuring out how to make it work with Valley Park. I'm not too farmiliar with the Roseville area. Can anyone see how today's clue helps?

This time last year my husband was out at Newell digging. As a matter of fact, he was at Newell on Thursday morning with only about 4-5 other people digging. Not that that matters much since he didn't find it, but the clue writer(s)are definitely making this year a lot harder. Unfortunately, if they don't start becoming more clearer on their clues, we're still going to be guessing into next week and there just may (may) be a year it's not found. That would be a sad, sad day in medallion history. I want so much to be digging tomorrow with the confidence that I'm at least in the right park. Much sorrow is in this digger's thoughts.

SUre Pryzmsphere, Not many big parks what do people make of this line A man of steel cannot be real But another has plenty of mettle Look for his name around our deal And you'll be in very fine fettle

looking for a statue of a courageous man, or a street name? any ideas, this seems to be the main helper for which park so far. At least i think.

Thanks, Nensea.

Jazz, I thought steel = McKnight, which divides Battle Creek into its east and west portions. Man o'mettle - Larry Po, twice mayor o'St. Paul and writer for St. Paul Press-Dispatch, or whatever it was bock then.

Also, deal backwards is "lead" which a newspaper man would follow.

"The prize is at a place with lots of space" "Where riding around can be fun"

These 2 lines do not necessarily have to relate to eachother - it could be a play on words. But to answer your question New Daddy, with a space shuttle I would assume.

What if the Medallion is actually on a lake "lots of space", where "riding around" would be the bike paths.

I read "lots of space" as not only in the terms of area, but also as "empty" space.

"off base" could mean "off the park" and on the lake.

If they put it on the lake, there's always the small chance someone would fall throuth the ice. I don't think they would take that chance!

In 1959 it wasn't at Como...it was at Warner Road – under a tree.

Jeez-Laweez, Fats! You get up on the wrong side o'the bed today?

All you say is true; folks are just voicing their opinions, as you're free to do.

I, too, wouldn't ever venture out on a lake. Those race drivers, I'll bet you dollars to do-nuts - HAVE to sign a release Bee4 they can race. I think asking folks to sign a waiver o'some sort Bee4 venturing out on a lake where The Med was hid would be a wee bit of a DEAD give away. (Pun intended... LOL!!!)

Not to get in the middle of this debate, but I will anyway....they only have car racing on the lake if the ice is thick enough and the conditions are OK. The people who write this don't control the weather, and the people hunting, so they have no idea whether the ice will be safe or not. It's just not gonna be on the ice, unless it's ice on land like a rink.
