Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.

Its interesting to note which parts of the parks still have a little snow, that would be a good spot to put the med. Especially if he/she drops it during the forecasted rain to snow Sun/Mon. Its supposed to stay below freezing, and it would be in the hard crusty layer.

Good Morning!

Lots of posts to walk through - and I love every word. Nice to see folks mostly being sociable and friendly with each other. No reason to get all bent out of shape about stuff. No reason for thread cops. We have 7 days yet before the first clue will come out.

Marley King - During the slogging, I understand you wanted to know about a time the medallion was moved...right? wrong?

I think it was Aries, but I was there too. What can you tell us O'Wize One.

Terry Valentine - 01:06am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4480 of 24851)

There was also discussion about hunts without snow. To the best of my recollection, there has never been a hunt totally without snow...though there have been times at the beginning there was little or none but snowed later...and a few times where a January thaw in the middle melted just about everything by the end of the hunt.

Of course after hunting for as long as we have, the hunts tend to run one into the other in one's mind...and the file system between the ears tends to run together some.

Terry Valentine - 01:08am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4481 of 24851)

My apologies to Ares then...but here's the true story.

The year it was at the Capital Mall, the earmuffs were picked up, walked across that public ground and then put back somewhere - close but probably not exactly where they had been originally placed.

Do you mean by your daughter? Or someone else?

Terry Valentine - 01:13am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4485 of 24851)

Yup. My daughter did that....and hasn't hunted since. She said that if your mother made you put it back, it wasn't worth hunting for it in the first place.

Now that she's 23, I hope she'll someday carry on the family tradition of the hunt.

Terry Valentine - 01:14am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4486 of 24851)

My son still hunts with us though when he can. He's been at grad school out of state for last year's and this year's hunt. He gets into it big time. Really enjoys the whole thing.

Marley,

Could you post that link to your site again here? I thought I had bookmarked that earlier and didn't.

That's cool. I used to noodle clues with my grandma, but she's past over and no one else in my family could give a wit. I always ask their opinions though. KAL

Put some pics of the little rec centers in NE on the site today. The one's green likes- could be a good possibility. There's a lot to choose from, and it hasn't been over on that side of town in a while. And there is some snow left in spots.

Terry Valentine - 01:20am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4492 of 24851)

I still noodle clues with my Mom. She is the one that got me hooked on this. I was out hunting with her some the very first hunt...just a couple months before I was born.

She can't get out anymore due to arthritis, but her mind is still sharp as tacks and often sees things that I miss.

Terry Valentine - 01:22am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4493 of 24851)

Very nice job you're doing with that website.

You might want to contact Greg Sax...find his email link at www.coolercrew.com...and he could put a link to your site from that one.

Terry Valentine - 01:23am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4494 of 24851)

There's another little park - north end - just off Rice St...like within a couple blocks west of Rice St. I can't think of the name of it right off, it's a small one, but I thought that might be a possibility too.

ThoseMedallingKids - 01:23am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4495 of 24851)

And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for ThoseMedallingKids!!

Terry, I have a feeling the only tradition your daughter won't carry on will be that of putting items back without thoroughly searching them first.

Thanx Ter! I was having problems with the request page, but I think I fixed it.

I know what you mean about your mom seeing what we miss, that's what I miss most about my grandma-her insight. I never underestimate my elders.

Terry Valentine - 01:26am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4497 of 24851)

We'll see. It was such a mother kind of thing to do on my part.

Just take a look around here. Think of all the offices and people that work around here. Probably dropped those coming or going to work. I'm sure they'll be looking for them. You go put those back now and make that person happy that she found them tomorrow.

If they hadn't been such nice ones, I probably would have told her to keep them...and who knows if that medallion would have ever been found!

Terry Valentine - 01:29am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4499 of 24851)

No. It's smaller than a rec center. Just a tiny park. BRB...I'll see if I have any information in all my stuff.

Maybe it's good she put them back then. Otherwise in mid-October you pull out those earmuffs to donate to charity, and find a little blue translucent puck in the earmuffs, causing you to have a heart attack right there on the spot.

Cooler! It just seems like that neat kind of park...sort of like Langford was/is...that would be a one time only hiding place.

Terry Valentine - 01:41am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4506 of 24851)

I think of all the hunts, the Langford hunt surprised me the most. There were hardly any hunters ever out there. We had found it early on...mostly by studying maps and doing those drive-by scopings of parks. Most of the time I was sure but not sure it was there...and the only reason I wasn't sure was because of the lack of hunters.

Here's an interesting quote about the hider from a pioneer press clip on Feb 7,99

"One of the newspaper's earliest treasure hiders was the late Marsh Genshow, promotion director during the 60's. .... On another occasion, Genshow and a co-worker were just about to hide the treasure late one bitterly cold night..."

So theres a good possibility that more than one person knows where it is, which makes a good possibility that there are spotters (atleast two)

and Artemis The Huntress ........... http://www.kingscommons.8m.com -Park pictures updated daily (should be viewed with Internet Explorer)

It must have felt good to be one of the few that actually figured it out! We weren't hunting (or together) yet.

Terry Valentine - 01:45am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4509 of 24851)

Exactly!

There has to be more than one who knows...if for no other reason than if the one hunter were to suddenly die.

And why wouldn't they spend time out watching the hunt...if for no other reason to see how people are interpreting the clues.

I also think there's a security reason for spotters...and a certain insurance for the PP that once it's found, it shows up at the PP offices within a short time.

Terry Valentine - 01:46am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4511 of 24851)

It does help make up for the times we were never in the right park.

The year it was at Kellogg, I was certain...absolutely certain it was at Harriet Island. Couldn't figure out what those fools "over there" were doing. At least we weren't totally alone. There were others at Harriet Island too.

Terry Valentine - 01:47am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4512 of 24851)

Marley and Kal - I like how you think!

The only time we were'nt in the right park (in the last 5 yrs we've been digging) was at Newell. We just didn't want to believe it was there! We put a shovel in a few other parks, but didn't really get to dig much and Boom it was found. It was so disappointing, like getting all dressed up with no where to go.

Whether you find the coin or not , it sure feels good to atleast be in the right park!

Terry Valentine - 01:51am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4514 of 24851)

Ooooo! Before I forget, I did see Santa Dave today and mentioned that someone here was wondering where he was. He said he'd check it out.

Terry Valentine - 01:54am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4515 of 24851)

It's bound to happen. You get your theories and go with those. It's happened to us....it will to just about anyone who hunts long enough.

That's why I'm always happy when I get to the right park. The finding by someone else is always a disappointment, but it's not nearly as bad as if you were in the wrong park shoveling snow totally off course.

Terry Valentine - 01:57am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4516 of 24851)

The year it was at Conway, we were first at Newell with the tree that looked like a 4, then at the Capital Mall...I was sure that was where I was to get my chance to revisit the earmuffs thing...and then finally to Conway.

We were in the right area and the right park. Pretty good considering we were truly unsure of that park at first.

and Artemis The Huntress ........... http://www.kingscommons.8m.com -Park pictures updated daily (should be viewed with Internet Explorer)

Right!

And it also helps to look at the hunt as a long range thing, the goal is to find the puck, but we have years (knock on wood) to accomplish that goal. No year searching is ever a wasted year just because you didn't find it (or even if you find it and put it back:). There are other things to gain (like good times and good friends) and it adds to your knowledge and techniques. A process of perfection so to speak.

Terry Valentine - 02:04am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4518 of 24851)

Exactly!

And this forum sure has added to the gain of good friends! It's nice that we're all gathering early here to shoot the breeze and just get into the getting to know each other mode.

I truly believe the length of time that one hunts makes a difference to how one sees the end of each hunt.

The friendships and passion for the hunt can last a lifetime. Each hunt has a definate beginning, middle and end...and they're all different.

Terry Valentine - 02:07am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4520 of 24851)

A good example of the friendship thing occurred today as a matter of fact.

We spent today with someone we met because we hunt...even though this person doesn't hunt. We've found many other things though that we enjoy about each others company.

She knew we were hunt-o-holics...so as part of the plan for the day, she created her own hunt for us!

Medallion2K2 - I can't believe after all this country has been through this past year, that somehow a thing like a hunt board can get so many folks all with their undies in a bunch. This is supposed to be fun! I plan to ignore the nonsense.

Marley says- no matter where he lived in the world he'd fly back for these twelve days every year! How could he miss this?

See what I've created? I've almost got him talked into moving to StPaul (from Mpls), but he said it has to be on a park. LOL

ThoseMedallingKids - 02:21am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4530 of 24851)

And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for ThoseMedallingKids!!

I don't doubt that medallion fever will die out. I know I was interested in it as a child, but my parents never took me out for it. With Cherokee, I remembered about it, was old enough to venture out on my own, and have become hooked. Look forward to sharing the fun with my girlfriend, who hopefully in turn will be my wife, and together we'll have children to hopefully share the experience with years from now....

Terry Valentine - 02:22am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4531 of 24851)

I love it! We have lived in St. Paul all our married life. I have actually lived here all of mine...Inks grew up in rural Minnesota.

We live in the center of the city so it's more convenient to all the St. Paul parks.

Terry Valentine - 02:24am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4532 of 24851)

TMK - I think you're definately hooked on the girl and the hunt. I truly wish for you a long life together with your beloved...and a life long passion for the hunt.

ThoseMedallingKids - 02:26am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4533 of 24851)

Thanks Terry. I think once people get hooked on the hunt, it's with them for life. Look forward to it growing, as well as my relationship with my girlfriend. But I'll be quiet now about that, lest Scribe or Tim or Ares have some comment ;)

Oh, Terry- Marley wanted me to ask you something. He is planning on making some bumper stickers to hand out and was wondering if there is an image we could use, or should he use an image on coolercrew site, or he could make his own? What do you think?

Terry Valentine - 02:31am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4536 of 24851)

I think he could use whatever he'd like. I think it's a way cooler idea!

You might want to check with Greg Sax about using the Cooler Crew logo thingy...but I can't imagine it would be a problem.

Thanx Ter, I'll let him know.

ThoseMedallingKids - Just remember this...no matter what anyone else says, if you know in your heart of hearts that she's the right one, go with your heart. You can't lose.

A relationship takes work...lots of it...but the work is worth it if you can spend your life with your soulmate.

Oh I know Terry. The others can give me all sorts of grief about point systems or making quilts, but that doesn't matter. I know I've found my own medallion of sorts, and that makes me so very happy. And that's all that counts.

Hi, Can you believe this, i was thinking of giving up on the Med. hunt ? The past few years have sucked, but here i am again.

Terry Valentine - 02:41am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4544 of 24851)

Of course! There is no giving it up!! There is no 12 step program for Medallion Fever. It's with you for life!

Terry Valentine - 02:45am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4546 of 24851)

It was just a lapse. Things ebb and flow and during those ebb times, you think...wrong of course...that you can overcome the fever. It's just a matter of time before the disease rises up again and puts you in your right mind again.

RIVRAFT - 02:46am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4547 of 24851)

I sure hope this years hunt is at least eventful.

Terry Valentine - 02:50am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4548 of 24851)

Just go into it with an open mind. Keep the mind open to possibilities and you'll enjoy the events - whatever they turn out to be. If you have preconceived ideas, you may end up disappointed about those ideas and miss some other really cooler stuff.

Allison Wonderland - 03:39am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4556 of 24851)

Get ready for the Mock Hunt in February at http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/theallisonwonderland

Some late night ramblings and what I suppose mught be considered a guide to posting ettiquette.

I never do Joes myself because I have no desire to pay any sort of homage to Joe Medallion. In fact I've always been sort of puzzled by the practice. Anytime someone asks why it's done, Joe's name and legend lives on when it's really probably best forgotten. Not that one can't call attention to having the post that marks a major milestone, but I suppose I'd call it something else.

As for off topic posts, sometimes some things come up in conversation. For example my job hunt comes up as the explanation of why I should have a lot of time for hunting, and sometimes the conversation will stray even further off topic from there. And I think that sort of thing is fine as it builds the community. But what I think some people are objecting to are posts that start off as off topic to begin with. If someone were to just come in and started posting about what they had done that day, I can see where other people, who come here to read about the treasure hunt, would feel like, "Why are you telling me this?" It's kind of a subtle difference, but there is a difference between coming here to chat about the treasure hunt and getting on other topics and coming here to chat about other stuff and ignoring the subject at hand. One of the rules for public speaking is "Consider your audience." So I wouldn't assume that people who come here to discuss the treasure hunt will necessarily want to hear about other things unless someone gives you an indication that they do.

Also, from past experiences, I think people tend to be a bit leery of anyone who uses a lot of posts to simply talk to themselves.

So anyway, I don't mean to come down on anyone, but since the subject was brought up, these are things people can consider if they don't wish to generate any ill will from those who read their posts. The basic rule is to ask yourself if what you're posting is simply because it's what you want to say, or is it because you think it's what someone wants to hear? While normally it might be hard to judge such a thing, a safe guideline is that since people are here for the treasure hunt, discussing something related to that is a post of interest. Discussing anything else, unless someone has already asked about that topic, is probably not of interest to the group.

Ian - 06:24am Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4557 of 24851)

I hate the news. I never watch the news. I never listen to the news. I never read the news. That's why I am here. I am here to get away from the news. I don't need new news. I don't need gnu news. I don't need knew news.

good morning everyone. for all those people that I upset yesterday I am truely sorry and I will try to keep my posts on the subject from now on, but I would like to say this..... Jan 12th was the only day that was out of conversation and I am sorry for that, Jan 11th I only had 10 posts not 73 like someone said, I'm not sure who's posts were being counted but they werent mine, you can look for yourself. I have slogged ALL of the posts and 90% of them were about the hunt/cooler crew or just general conversation with other people. please before you make attacks on other people and their family's make sure you have your facts straight before you post them. with that said I hope we can move on and all be sociable. In the future if I do or say something to upset someone, please do not be so cruel as you were this time, things can be said without attacking someone and making false statements.

no, kids, ares has nothing to say about it. after all, people who live in glass houses should, um, get dressed in the dark. scribe is the one who'd have a comment. but seriously though, once you find your soul mate, never let her go. and if you can get the hunt in her blood, thats all the more reason to never let her go.

Good narming, 'Heads.

They won't do it from MomPress. Too obvious. Even the totally-clueless-and-in-the-dark green one could then find it.

King & Queen, I'd like a bumper sticker! That's a COOLER idea! I wish I'd thought o'it... Make that two stickers. Brown gets one, too.

Kids, I can show you how to make a quilt by hand...

I am exhausted - I worked all nite. All nite long I dreamed about helping with the film. One part was everybuddy was drinking Cokes and Trent went into a tissy because you could read "CocaCola" on all the cans. He made us all turn the cans so you couldn't read the name - whethr we were holding the cans or they were sitting on a pic-a-nic table, or whatever. We were kind'a forgetting this, not letting the name show, so Trent took the cans and mushed them so they only fit in our hands only one way, that being so you couldn't read "CocaCola"!!!!

And coreographed snow borders...

Ter, I never even thought o'the muffs - about The Med being moved! Really! I thought you were telling me about some other time. Maybee that was someone else... Did you hear any sirens or anything? I'm sure that's one Spotter that was in definite need o'CPR!

Gotta go fro for a bit...

Good Afternoon!

A week from today we should at least have the County/City thing figured out....

Marley - I too would like a bumper sticker!! I've been trying to get someone to have some interest in making some up over the years but no one has ever bitten. It would be SO cool when you're out cruising parks to see a bumper sticker on the car in front of you and know you have a common bond (beside the hunt). How about just a simple "Coolerheads Prevail"?? I don't know what the rules are for using the images off the PP site, but I'd hate to see anyone get in trouble for something improper.

Terry Valentine - 12:47pm Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4579 of 24851)

Green - There have been many, many times the medallion has been moved. Tossed with the snow or the clump of dirt/clay/grass has been strewn from it's original hiding place. It's bound to happen. Not intentional by the hiders but unintentionally by the hunters.

When those earmuffs were um...moved...it was very, very early in that hunt. Maybe third day. We were about the only folks around there...and the snow was no more than an inch deep. Light, fluffy, kick through it with your feet snow. I don't think the spotters had taken their places yet.

You know how when something is rather traumatic or big events in one's life occur you can see the whole thing in your mind as though it were yesterday? Almost like time standing still for that moment? That's how that event is for me.

I just added some huge detailed images to the site. I mean Huge. Its big (and maybe slow on some of your browsers) but if you click on #6 on the new Harriet Island Map, you'll see a detailed panoramic of the river/skyline from the park.

I've also got a page that will contain updates to the parks since the last edition. You can get at it through the "200 photos" page.

I'm impressed with the City's focus on park redevelopment. Como's had quite a bit of renovation in the last few years and the development down at the river is massive. My guess is that these budgets are soon to vanish in light of the recessionary times.

i'm thinking as though it would be a more tempting target for next year, steve. kinda like the theories that have been going this year for it being on h.i. because it was recently redevloped.

Just taking a quick break from domestic duties here...

Irvine Park is nearer McGovern's than that one is on Marion by Sears. Kellogg Park might be nearer McGovern's too and it's lit better.

So is this it? The white stuff is melting. Hmmmmmmm

It did here, melt. Pretty depressing.

I'm tired o'dogs at The Gopher... And I'm not fond o'McGovern's food... LOL!!! And Mickey's is out...

Where's a good, cheap, nummy place to eat downtown? Can be a dive, if cheap with good food. Actually, prefer dives/mom and pop joints.

I'd go for Whiteys, but Brown won't go near them...

Nothing, that I know of, Tim. I've just never liked the food at McGovern's. Most o'The 'Heads really do, tho, especially the hot turkey sammychizz. And the pork chops.

Their food's like too mass produced tasting for me. I just don't like it.

He'll be here Saturday, January 19, in the AM. So, he'll be at McGovern's for The Pre-Dig Gig! :D

Rite now, two cameras - like last year. There is a possibility a third camera could be brought in should we find ourselves butt deep in snow as we hunt. This is not written in stone, but is being considered.

Well, going fro for a bit. Am starving and I think there's a Hot Dago (xtra cheese, xtra jalapenos...) in my future... Unless we hit the Hispanic section and then I can get some chorizo, too!

About 1.3 inches.

Happened by there, a part o'it. Well, actually Swede Hollow and not the park. Had Hot Dago with the works... And then tossed on some habanero sauce... YUM!!!

Was also in the Chair-O-Key area tonite. Had to pick up some chorizo.

Hit Little Italy and Little Mexico, both, in one nite!

Did you know there's a new Tony Veneto trail? Saw the sign at Payne and 7th. Was also told that Phalen's got a part o'that same new trail....

I've not see the trail and/or sign at Phalen. Only heard about it. And is that little area at 7th and Payne part of Swede Hollow Park?

yeppers green. that trail runs along the former northern pacific/burlington northern tracks (might be useful knowledge should it ever come up in a clue). it runs down past the site of the former whirlpool plant, and along the southeast side of the duluth and case playground, then up past phalen.

emmy & hannah's mom - 07:11pm Jan 13, 2002 CST (#4639 of 24851)

and natalie's....

That little area by Payne & 7th is like a trailhead for the Bruce Vento trail. It used to be called the Swede Hollow trail, as it does go through that park. The trail ends up just feet from Phalen and the path around the lake, believe the cross streets are Johnson Pkwy and Jessamine? That doesn't sound right somehow, but it's whats in my head.
