Evenin' everyone! All of a sudden, I like Hillcrest, and here's why. It's next to St. Leo's school. A "carnival hunter" is a lion = Leo.

I'm outta my mind!

I was working today so no scouting going on...except in my out of mind state. (I'm not sure why they pay me to work this time of year.)

I really believe it's not Highland. Not because the clues couldn't fit, but because it's too early to give the park away.

I think the high land thing is a clue to a river park on the bluffs. That would leave Cherokee and Mounds.

Of course I've been wrong this early before. Hopefully tonight's clue will help.

Wow, what a lot of posts today. Don't think I can even hope to slog through them all. Right now I'm leaning towards Battle Creek Zone #1 but I have several other places I consider in the running. Been getting a headache trying to figure out the time and tide, fun and slide thing. And usually when that happens, it means it's referring to the thing the treasure is hidden in and I never had a shot at figuring it out anyway.

Lions club, Lyon st. by bc, Any playground, statue or school mascot possibly? Tide soap, Time magazine, tide-diet. Possibly more to trip over goods. Spark mabey south end of park. Just some thoughts here. Leaning towards battle creek.

Hidden falls is on my list but it has moved down. It doesn't seem to me there's any areas there that are clearly away from the woods and down a hill. As for Hillcrest, I doubt it. It seems anything related to Hillcrest is a matter of deriving the name itself from the clues. I don't think these clues are hinting at a park name, especially a small one. I think they are more likely describing aspects of the park or things that can be seen from nearby.

I've been too busy at work trying to wrap things up to keep up with the cooler, especially at this pace. And last night I was out filming for most of the evening. I made a few posts to my club, at least I can keep up with.

I do remember seeing something in the Guide about something sponsored by the Lion's club, don't recall offhand though.

    My opinion is that the person hiding it, if they even knew about the race back when they wrote the clues wouldn't necessarily plan around such a thing. After all, they put it at Como last year and there was a ton of Winter Carnival activity.

    Yes Regman...only because the other zones are too close to the events that are taking place there this year. FYI...the ski race was there last year too.

    I could see it being Phalen in the sense that it has lots of hills, but most I believe are on the Golf course. So you'd really be killing time checking all those out when you could just use your brain and know it's not on the golf course and you should just check near the one or two hills that are actually in the park.

    Phalen might also make sense if far away from the woods was really talking about the golf course where people use "irons" and "woods".

    We have been in the right park as early as the 4th clue - and in the wrong park clear up till it was found somewhere else. We've also been in the right park just about alone wondering why we were just about the only ones there.

    At the edge of Phalen Rec Center there is a street sign that reads "Sherwood Forest" (corner of Sherwood and Forest). I keep waiting for that to make it into a clue. Which brings up another possibility of Phalen in that Forest street runs into it. If you go as far from that as you can, I believe that's the part of the park with the hill.

    As for Highland. it seems every year up through at least clue 5 or 6 there's always a significant contingent of people saying it's in Highland. Must be something generic about that place that it always seems to fit all the clues.

But at this point it seems I may ony have a couple of people coming and they would be newbie hunters, so I wonder if he would still want to?

    If someone trips over it by accident tonight...well maybe they deserve to find it.

    I've learned it doesn't pay to go wasting energy moving snow unless you're fairly certain you're in the right park.

    Chances are I'll get the clue tonight, get some crazy theory about where it is and then go dig to no avail. Did it the last two years after clue 4, although at Newell I was actually right (though I was never in the right part of the park).

    You dig, We'll Find!

    10 ways to get in shape for the Medallion Hunt!

    1. Whenever a snow emergency is declared, follow the snowplows around and completely dig out all the cars they plow in.

    2. As a big storm is about to hit, stand on your front steps with your back to the yard. Toss your car keys over your shoulder. Go back inside and then go find them the next day.

    3. Read up on Occam's Razor (All else being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the correct one).

    4. Do every word jumble, crossword puzzle, and search-a-word you can get your hands on.

    5. Make a list of all the things you can do with $10,000.

    6. Turn off the heat in your home for 16 hours a day.

    7. Only sleep three hours a night.

    8. Move all the snow from your back yard to your front yard.

    9. Spend all night on the Internet with total strangers discussing who killed JFK.

    10. Commit the Cooler Crew and Treasure Hunter's Guide Websites to memory.

    The Pioneer Press and Cub Foods will host three special events for participants in the Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt who gather at the newspaper’s downtown St. Paul headquarters to await publication of clues:

    “Vulcan Night” – Saturday, Jan. 26: The Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt heats up with a visit from the Winter Carnival Vulcans. The hunt’s presenting sponsor – Cub Foods – and Hormel, also a Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt sponsor, will participate. KOOL 108 and the station’s KOOL KAT mascot will help host the event and prize drawings.

    “Tropical Night” – Sunday, Jan. 27: Colorful leis and Hawaiian shirts will brighten the night in time for an appearance by the Winter Carnival Royal Family. The WLOL party van will pull up to help host the event and prize giveaways.

    “Movie Night” – Tuesday, Jan. 29: The Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt goes Hollywood with Marcus Theatres and K102. Treasure hunters can watch movie trailers, munch popcorn and win theater tickets, posters and other prizes. K102 will sponsor an appearance by the Rodeo Renegades danceline and a drawing for rodeo tickets.

    Time: All events will be held from 11 p.m. until midnight. Events will take place, as scheduled, unless the medallion has been found. Call the Treasure Hunt Hot Line for the current status of the hunt at (651) 228-5547.

    It's only clue 3. I don't think you're going to find throngs of diggers yet. Even if people have their favorites, it's unlikely many of them will expend the energy at this point on what is likely to not be anything more than a hunch. And if you think you know exactly where it is, you're probably guilty of "circular thinking" (inside joke).

    Some people come here with little to contribute so their only way to get attention is to make a nuisance of themselves. Since their goal is not to be liked, but rather to get attention, you can't stop them with insults or reprimands. All you can do is deny them what they came for and ignore them. To say your posts aren't even worth the effort of making a comment ends up being a stronger statement than anything you could say with actual words most times.

    lol. I am not going to jump to any conclusions early. Avoiding forests and going to hills can be anything. Hidden, Highland, BC, Linwood,Phalen, Newell, Cherokee, Conway all have wooded areas that can be avoided and all have some hills (maybe not Hidden, but it sure has tides) The point is, it can be anywhere.
