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.

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

Clue #1 As you go on your quest to uncover the chest Inside a St. Paul park is the right plot. For you’ll suspect you’re guess is the best If you can see a past Medallion hiding spot.

Clue #2 One is rather small, but the other green and tall Offering the edge of precision if you start in the west Then a due southern line will happen to fall And point to where the treasure doth rest.

Clue #3 As you go around town, looking up and down For where treasure might hide under the snow The path that’s likely to get you the most renown Is the one to grandmother’s house we go.

Clue #4 In summer the scenery is full of greenery As one would expect in most any park. But to know if you’re in the one I mean (hehe) Look around for an obfuscated landmark.

Clue #5 Someone serves, but not hors ‘deourves There is love but there is no romance. Men and women watch each other’s curves And move their feet, but do not dance.

Clue #6 It’s wise to not balk if you have to walk But be careful as you strike out to explore. The treasure is far afoul of the chalk And home isn’t even close to next door.

Clue #7 The rot of the mummy can turn your tummy And Arnold’s cyborg displayed a murderous rage But their ill timing can make you look like a dummy. So instead take a clue from Dracula’s age.

Clue #8 Wheels that go both to and fro Will guide you to a valuable find But as you look on them down below Be sure you see more than one kind

Clue #9 The legend of Boreas is quite glorious And his northern dominion has a frosty hue. Meanwhile Vulcanis Rex is quite notorious Still, look to the south to get a pleasant view.

Clue #10 If you still don’t know where the treasure hides in its lair And it seems these clues aren’t following the usual laws Perhaps you might get a hint from a famous star named Blair Why you may ask? Oh I don’t know, maybe just cause.

Think thou not of Hamlet, but of Romeo and Juliet If starry eyes are to bring thee riches and gains. In Hollywood, not Denmark, is this story to be set As thou seeketh treasure and Holy Great Danes.

Clue #11 Dan and Lynn hunt for fun, craziest of theorists bar none. Yet often in the past near the treasure they have stood. Their secret to success is that two heads are better than one So if Dan didn't know where to look then perhaps Lynn would.

Having roamed far and near, and yet found nothing dear Perhaps you’re starting to lose your tenuous sense of mirth. But maybe you can draw help from our friend Shakespeare And orient yourself with regard to his place of birth.

Clue #12 If you don't already know, Linwood is the place to go Behind a field of sport where a female king used to play. If you line up a post to intersect a couple of walls You'll find the secret hole in which the treasure doth lay.

Formerly Medallion2K, and Medallion2K1, the name brings no luck, so far.....

Im off to bed too, just a quick thought/question...

I've been here in the cooler for 4 years now, under the aliases listed below my name (anyone remember posts from them?)but haven't really associated with the people outside of the message board. So if I show up Saturday at McGoverns with a couple cooler heads like myslef, that havent really socialized, but post somewhat frequently, what can we expect? Pretty open atmosphere, couple cliques here and there? family feel? Just thought i would ask so i know what im getting into there. No stranger getting into digging though, can't wait for this weekend/next week.

Ian, hopefully if we open the windows and get some fresh air in here, the stench will be mostly gone by the time you return :).

M2K2 - the pre dig gig is open for ALL! It's a nice chance to meet other people who share the passion of the dig face to face.

I dreamt I was digging last night. I didn't recognize the park but I do remember it didn't have much of a playground and the kids were giving me a hard time about that. Hmmm.

Be back this evening, the rest of you have a good day.

Maybe that's why I can' find it! I live right down the street from Case & Duluth and thought I knew my neighborhood better. I was slogging through some of lastnights posts and thought I add there is construction at Phalen to. I think it should be done when the 'Phalen Corridor' is complete. That would a more idea year for the medallion to be hid there. (This may justbe my wishful thinking, really don't wan to dig up Phalen!)

Oh. My Dad works for the railroad. No he said this is the first year he can remember them telling employees to be aware of people traffic around the tracks that have parks near them.

the wabasha-harriet island corridor is a nice set of redone locations. there's the new hillcrest knoll over on the east side, i don't know how long ago it was but the lower end of battle creek's been redone (hmm that's right across from a railroad yard). i can't think of anything else off hand that qualifies. rice park will be done here in the near future.

No, Scribe, you did fine.

I'm having to make calls and handle getting releases. Mundane follow-up for the film. And there maybe a lot of folks come this year that have never heard o'The Cooler Crew, don't come in here, and some don't even have computers!

I explain the 'Crew get-to-gethers as just social meetings for those that enjoy hunting the Med. A party. Spouses, childern, SOs, the neighbors - anybuddy's welcome.

It's a way to get rid o'some of the xcess energy and xcitement that's been building for the last week, two weeks, month, three months...

You don't have to register/RSVP, we don't take names/make lists. If you don't tell anybuddy who you are, no one has a way of knowing if you were really there are not.

But you may get a strange look when someone says, "Hi! I'm green/Scribe/Terry/Jake/Mom/Whomever! Who are you?" and you don't answer... LOL!!!

And, too, it's held in a public place - McGovern's.

If you don't make it this year... You will some year. Trust me. Sometimes it takes awhile to get the gumption up to rush head long into a total o'total strangers. But after you've been here awhile, you'll not have the trepidation and you'll join in.

And you'll be very glad you did, and sorry you waited. You'll have to look a long, long time to find nicer folks than The Cooler Crew.

Inside me a voice was repeating this phrase: "You've lost it, you'll never get out of this maze."

It must be something about the time of year. On an e-mail list I belong to somebody just exploded the other day about off-topic posts. Seasonal Affective Disorder?

i'm just curious. and i know snow mommy's already cast one vote for this, but who all is labelled as being crazy for being hunt-addicted? i make up the second vote for this.

Phillip,

When I was about 18, I received a birthday gift from my girlfriends. With every clue dating back to 1952. They all went to the library, and dug it up for me. It is hard to read alot of them, copy machine made some pages to dark. I will always treasure it.

2K2, you know who Maureen is, don't you?

If she and/or Steve show up Fri or at The Re-Hash Bash (even MORE fun than The Pre-Dig Gig as ittiz a pot-luck pin-a-nic, BooBoo!) she can tell you how terrified she was when she and Steve found The Med at Chair-O-Key and she sat in the truck with the door locked and just cowered!

Thanks, Scribe! Already got one outfit at the GW here in town...

But I need new liners for the Sorels... My liners are only two years old, but just didn't keep my feet warm last year. I wonder if warshing them did that...?

So, I want new, fluffy ones...

Maureen, I was talking to Steve not 15 minutes before you two found the medallion. What the kicker was, I was digging in that area the entire week and obviously didn't find it. Met you two on Monday during the lunch hour when me and a guy from my office quickly went out to check out a few ideas.

The police towed my car for being in an emergency snow lane or something like that? Was it really a snow emergency last night? I don't consider 1 inch of snow a reason to declare a snow emergency. And how am I suppose to know all these dumb rules when I'm just a country hick? Now that's over $125 out of my pocket and now I need to get a job instead of just looking for the medallion for a couple weeks.

I think I'm gonna make it on Saturday. I was supposed to be in Saint Cloud at a youth scholarship tournament, but Kris said his college teammates are demanding that he go to Milwaukee with them. So if Kollin decides to skip Saint Cloud, I'll be able to make it.
