The Hunter's Guide lists Mounds as Mounds "rec" in the index (p.54) What is the official name?

Mound sPark

Every hill (dead give-away probably too bovious this early)

Is there a library nearby? brows=browse? Maybe a yarn or fabric store knit- browse

Hey Marley, Incredible job your doing w/the photo stuff, there might even be a career in it for ya. Occasionally the first clue has a little meat in it, usually a stretch, eg, the start of something big,missisippi, hidden falls. No golfing, conway. One take on spark may be the beacon at mounds. A light spins, observed from most anywhere you get a light burst, seen far and wide...spark. OK OK I'm just building a case for the nuthouse hall of fame.

Marley.. Have you ever seen those interactive panoramic QuickTime shots? They are panoramas you can move with your mouse.. I can shoot those! When I'm done with my big jewelry shoot (hopefully by Wendesday) I can shoot some of those for your site. Either way, I'm bringing one or two digital cameras with me each time I go out.. I'll donate everything of interest to your site.

StepDogg - 10:15am Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9355 of 24887)

Beer....Medallion....$10,000.....Better Beer

OK, here's my take...

Clue 2 is telling us that it's buried up on top of a hill. "knit your brow" is an expression for squinting (like if you were standing below a hill looking up to the top with the sun in your eyes)

The clue says "you may knit your brows on this one OR trek up and down every hill"

Then it refers to using your legs...doing some climbing.

Just a thought.

Good Morning!

To knit one's brows would be to be deep in thought (work your brain)

trek up and down every hill (work your legs)

If you have some time to kill

I'm thinking the medallion is to be found on fairly flat ground, perhaps near, or surrounded by hills. McMurray Field is one such place, but there are others. For example, Cherokee has a sliding hill, but much of that park is more flat.

StepDogg - 11:15am Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9399 of 24887)

Beer....Medallion....$10,000.....Better Beer

Terry - good ideas.

The only reason i think it is up high is that we didn't even have snow until a couple of weeks ago. They probably wouldn't place it on bare ground.

I think trek up hills and use your legs are references to climbing sledding hills/ski hills...etc.

Terry Valentine - 11:17am Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9400 of 24887)

I believe it went down during that snowstorm a couple weeks ago and is on the ground.

The year it was at the Capital Mall, early on there was much less snow than this...and the earmuffs were on the ground. It was just later that week when we got heavy snows that it was covered up more.

Hi all!

All I can say for sure from the cluses so far is, that it's in a park in St Paul.

Terry, the capitol mall is a good idea. It's been my first choice every since they started the new copper dome at the cathedral. Can yo tie anything in with the copper clad dome with the clues?

Gregor Samsa - 11:31am Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9403 of 24887)

THX-1138, in a St. Paul park or just in St. Paul? Not sure that the mall counts for a park....

StepDogg - 11:34am Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9404 of 24887)

Beer....Medallion....$10,000.....Better Beer

the word "one" in clue 2 is so confusing.

It could be referring to the clue "knit your brows on this one"

It could be a hill among many hills "knit your brow (on a specific hill?) or just trek up and down all of them"

Terry Valentine - 11:35am Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9405 of 24887)

I haven't really considered the Capital Mall this year yet - unless the deep in thought and hills would refer to the legislature - and I don't want to go there!

The only thing that would remotely connect to the work at the Cathedral would be if you considered spark and the renovating work to be connected somehow.

Beer....Medallion....$10,000.....Better Beer

"work your brain, your legs, it will be fun"

it's such a strange sentance. I almost think it has to be referring to a library/school for "brain", a track/b-ball court, etc. for "legs" and a playground or something like that for "fun"

Otherwise what will be fun??? walking up and down hills? knitting your brows??

This clue is just written very wierd.

well then so much for that idea. wait. highland is up one huge hill from 7th. you've got the school and track at 7th and montreal, the disc golf course is nearby, there's the fun. anyone know what goes across the top of that tall bridge across montreal halfway between 7th and snelling?

Rushmore - 12:33pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9434 of 24887)

What if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?

Rushmore - 02:02am Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9227 of 9433) What if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?

As for my thoughts,

I think the med will be some place without a lot of hills. "just trek up and down every hill - Work your brain, your legs, it will be fun, - If you have some time to kill" From these lines it seems to me that they are saying if you don't work your brain, you will trek up and down every hill, in turn killing (wasting time)doing this, when you should be on flat land. And walking through the hilly parks would be as effective as knitting (an activity to waste time) Just my thoughts.

What do you think of this?

StepDogg - 12:33pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9435 of 24887)

Beer....Medallion....$10,000.....Better Beer

Ares - do you think the word "one" in the first line refers to a hill or the clue? I can't decide!

Terry Valentine - 12:34pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9436 of 24887)

Rushmore - That's my take on this second clue. In my opinion, they're telling us it will be a waste of time to trek up and down every hill.

Rushmore - 12:35pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9437 of 24887)

What if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?

Step - good noodling, I think that is something that we will have to wait and see with further clues. I think they have used language like that before in previous hunts and it has meant the clue, but the wording of this one remains ambiguous.

Rushmore - 12:36pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9438 of 24887)

What if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?

Terry Val here is a stretch to capitol mall.

A Time to Kill by Grisham is about racial tensions and rape, and a court trial. today is MLK day, Grisham was a state legislator in Mississippi. He also loves baseball

so capital mall or by a baseball field, or by the mississippi rv or by mississippi street, or courthouse

Terry Valentine - 12:37pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9440 of 24887)

They are also telling us to think hard - knit your brows - about what the clue is really saying. The word "or" is important here.

i'd agree with you 2 on that if it weren't for the "it will be fun" piece of the line. there just seems to be something contrarian about saying that trekking every hill would be fun. i don't get it.

step, i believe the one is a very relevant piece of that clue. a very relevant piece. what it signifies, i have no idea. :)

Terry Valentine - 12:38pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9442 of 24887)

unless they're telling us that the hills that you can trek up and down are nearby, but like at conway, stay away from them cuz the pucks on the other side of the park. your fun comes from being in the right park, even in the right location, but you'd be wasting your time on the hill.

Rushmore - 12:41pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9449 of 24887)

Ares - I kind of perceieved the "it will be fun" in relation to the hunt itself and well, if you are out hunting, generally you have some free time or, time to kill.

Terry Valentine - 12:42pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9450 of 24887)

New Daddy - Thanks for that information, by the way! The Capital Mall is flat land...no wasting time trekking those hills!

I am not trying to have the clues fit the park, but the Capitol mall was my first thought even before the hunt began. The last clue seems to hint towards the capitol. So, Terry, I definitely concur with you on that.

"ONE" being the clue or a hill??

"FUN" being climbing hills or working your brain and legs...or both?? OR killing time?? NONE of those activities do I consider FUN.

OK...I am sticking with the idea that it IS on a hill. I read the thing like 100 times, I think the word "one" refers to a specific hill...Don't know where or which one.

then it says if you have time to kill, just trek up and down every hill (maybe you will run across something.)

Yeah...I'm sticking to that. Otherwise I just confuse myself!!

I would again like to state that the first clue is extremely poorly written. especially the second and third lines

"Let the medallion search in you light a spark

Far and wide take your hunt, have no fear"

These lines make some grammatical sense when read alone, but when read together they don't flow very well.

I also noticed that if you take the last word from each of the four lines it reads Here Spark Fear Park.

Lots of good nooks and crannies down there.

Beer....Medallion....$10,000.....Better Beer

Terry - I don't know about that because the clue says to trek up and down hills...they sure wouldn't want people doing that at mounds...if it was mounds, i think the clue would tell people not to trek the hills...

there's still one more river park. maybe 2.

Terry Valentine - 01:41pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9512 of 24887)

That's what I'm saying...it would be a waste of time.

RIVRAFT - 01:41pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9513 of 24887)

To hill or not to hill..........that is the question.

wolffpac - 01:41pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9514 of 24887)

You dig, We'll Find!

I thinks that treking up and down the hills is the waste of time.

Ares..I'm gonna rule them out.

Terry Valentine - 01:43pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9516 of 24887)

Prospect Park is all about a city lot size big...so I tend to rule that out just by virtue of it's small size.

Unless one of the clues mentions Bing.

Terry Valentine - 01:44pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9518 of 24887)

Then I'd go to Crosby.

New Daddy - 01:44pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9519 of 24887)

If you find 2 medallions please share one with me

Guide interesting idea. Don't forget mississippi st & school by Arlington aekwright and arlington rec.

people who have been killed are buried at arlington cem...

OK...I can't get sucked in to these park theories yet...too early. I'll see you all later. Hopefully we'll get some solid info with #3...Later!!

actually, the other one would be battle creek but that's something of a stretch from the river.

Lots of stretching going on.

Terry Valentine - 01:47pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9526 of 24887)

Time will tell if any of this stretching leads to anything constructive.

randy rust - 01:48pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9527 of 24887)

Where does the river come in???

Hunter and I took a walk at HF today and saw TMK scouting around.

Terry Valentine - 01:49pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9529 of 24887)

Following my usual plan of paying attention to what the clues say...and don't say...

There's been no mention of trees, water, or picnics yet.

But there will be...just wait, TV.

Terry Valentine - 01:51pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9531 of 24887)

I hate waiting! I liked things better when there were two clues every day.

RIVRAFT - 01:52pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9532 of 24887)

Just a thought.......Wouldn't that be terrible if someone just out scouting actually found it :(

randy rust - 01:53pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9533 of 24887)

Rust never sleeps....

Whats the talk of a river park???? WHere oh where does the water come into play???? Am I just Blonde or what??

Terry Valentine - 01:53pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9534 of 24887)

Banish that thought!

it was just a thought, randy, since harriet island was explicitly excluded from the rules. i guess the theory is that the clues will point to it and they don't want us digging on it.

TheTreasureHunter'sGuide - 01:56pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9536 of 24887)

Randy...I started this theory back at post 9501.

Terry Valentine - 01:56pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9537 of 24887)

Of course the rules also keep us out of Como Zoo so in theory, the clues could lead us back to Como Park and there needed to be explicit direction to stay out of the Zoo area.

Rushmore - 01:56pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9538 of 24887)

What if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?

Riv - When I was out scoping the capitol last week - I was tempted to look under, on top of, and into things, however, I was afraid I may find the medallion and ruin it for everyone - so I refrained and didn't look into things. Now that the clues are out though, it's free game, but I would HATE it if someone found it this early while out scoping.

but the zoo's always been explicitly excluded, hasn't it terry?

Yes, but TV, the Zoo has never been a "qualified" place before whereas HI has.

Terry Valentine - 01:58pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9541 of 24887)

It has...but why in the rules this year then?

RIVRAFT - 01:59pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9543 of 24887)

LAST WEEK...huh, starting real early, glad you didn't find it.

randy rust - 01:59pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9544 of 24887)

THG...I now see your logic...good spin....

Just a hunch, Rust...don't grab your shovel yet.

I have an idea!!

"You may knit your brows on this one"

Maybe this is implying that you can see the ONE that is on the top of the first trust center from the park

Terry Valentine - 02:01pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9547 of 24887)

It'll be interesting if they include all those "do not tread" things in next year's rules.

RIVRAFT - 02:02pm Jan 21, 2002 CST (#9548 of 24887)

The clue writer is just throwing us off, this hunt has to last, look at all the advertising, CUB. We'll all be scratching our heads, to'in and fro'in all over town.

ter, you're going to explicitly exclude it in the rules because you're going to point to someplace (or someplaces?) with similar characteristics. but you don't want to have hunters digging on h.i., and at the same time you don't want to be sufficiently explicit as to which park its actually in.
