This may have already been said, or maybe I'm messing around with the clue
too much, but I think that "trip" (Clue #3) is a play on the word fall - Hidden

Well, I'm a West Sider, so I'll try my best from the other side...Take 7th
Street or Summit/Grand (depending on where you are) and drive east/west until
you hit Smith Avenue (there's a Bonfe's car repair place on the corner of Smith
and West 7th). Maybe someone else can help me out.

West Seventh Street to Smith Avenue. South on Smith to the end of the high
bridge. Right on Cherokee. Right again on Baker. This road winds through the
park. It turns into Hwy 13 at the other end of the park at Annapolis Street. The
eastern boundary of the park is Chippewa.
Another part of Cherokee Park is the little strip east of the high bridge on
Cherokee, between Smith and Ohio.

"Light a spark" = Burns Ave, borders Indian Mounds. Mounds = hills. "Time to

BC is officially a Ramsey Cty park, not a St Paul park ... the first clue
says it's in "a St Paul park." So, I'm putting BC low on the list (if at all).
There's a difference btwn saying "a St Paul park" and "a park in St. Paul."

Hmm, people think that it's Highland because of high from "time and tide" and
land from "fun and slide". That all works except for "funland". The others have
the abstract word at the beginning, where as funland has it at the end. Also,
why choose funland? Why not choose landmark, landfill, greenland, homeland,
something like that? Those are much more normal than "funland". So that's my
argument against that line of noodling. And I'm with Green when she says it
likely won't be at BC because of the skiing.

I also read for the first time this year's rules. They've changed from last
year. Not sure why you can turn in handwritten clues and/or printed from the
computer. The paper didn't seem clear if the handwritten and/or computer clues
were just for Cub Foods or if it was also for the PP with the medallion. Does
anyone know the true facts?

I'm actually doubling up on the clues. I have a set that "If" I happen to
find the medallion, I'd turn it in. However, I want a set for my medallion
binder that I keep all the paper clipped clues inside. I don't want to give

inquiry to the Pioneer Press. We would prefer that actual daily clipped clues
are submitted, however, due to sweepstakes law, we will also accept copies of

It would make sense that the clues be newspaper clippings for the medallion
winnings, and handwritten/computer generated for Cub Foods. I don't know why I'm
so concerned about this. I guess a few people are telling me that it also means
for turning in the medallion with non-newspaper clippings.

I try to think simple when reading the clues as they usually don't put a lot
of information in each clue. There's usually only 1 meaning for each clue.
Here's my thought:
Clue 1: a park in St. Paul (not a St. Paul park - there is a difference)
Clue 2: inside a knitted cap and possibly inside a watch box or near
something with a clock
Clue 3: Stay away from the hill and trees. Possibly leading to a street.

Usually the item it is hidden in is mentioned very early in the clues (Clue
#2 seems to be the lucky number). I also say that the sparks would be also the
fireworks for the 4th of July. I think "time to kill" refers to the movie/novel
as it was set in the state of Mississippi.

Since the rules state it's not on Harriet Island, my thought is the
Mississippi has to be in view of the park. Any thoughts on that?

the only specific "clock" that's come up is the sundial down on harriet

I mentioned that a few posts ago. Does anyone know of another park with a
sundial or a big clock? The word "time" has been mentioned twice so far.

If you find 2 medallions please share one with
me
If the medallion if what you want to find,
Then you will have to use your mind,
There is no way they would give us the name of the park,
In clue number three,
They want to keep us in the dark,
Do you see,
High refers to a landmark,
Take it from me,
Do not give my words to much clout,
Cause I'm not sure of what I'm talking about.

I'd have to say no to Cherokee because it's mainly wooded. Not much room for
digging in the small open area. Mounds - I'm not familiar with Mounds.

Daddy, mississippi street does not adjoin any parks, although it is near AA
(thereby reinforcing your theory). But, Miss. R. Blvd adjoins HF.
And, you're welcome! But, if the writer is new this year (and I think "it"
might be), it may have been for nothing.

I've read that thought of a "new" writer in many past posts. I don't know why
the thought of a new writer is being mentioned. I must have missed something in

That's my #1 choice until something in the clues completely steers me away.
Clue 3 fits the park a little too good. There were people diggin' (the

TD-
I am betting it is the same writer. She is know in past years for
interjecting a lot (A LOT!!!!) of fluff.
As mentioned before, the clues hold little information, and not to read into
them too much.
She gets her kicks off seeing everyone extrapolate off the smallest bit of
information.

This is what the web site rules say:
The finder of the Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt medallion must immediately
return the medallion to the Pioneer Press, 345 Cedar St., St. Paul, to qualify
for the initial cash prize of $2,500 and $1,200 in groceries from Cub (one $100
Cub gift card per month for 12 months).
An additional $2,500 will be awarded if all of the published daily clues are
clipped from the Pioneer Press and presented along with the medallion.
The Pioneer Press also will award an additional $5,000 if the finder is a
registered 2002 Winter Carnival Button owner and has mailed an official entry
form, postmarked by Jan. 20 to the Winter Carnival office.
