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.

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.

Mandy,

The janitor's very busy tonight. I'm checking out until the 'hazmat' team comes in.

It was an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny, yellow polka dot bikini...

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Who's on first.

Thanks Ian.

Aaron Kaske - 09:13pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15787 of 24968)

It is not going to be at Newell Park again......it was just there two years ago.....too soon. It is not at Como either.....it was there last year. As far as the fairgrounds goes, it is considered "private property", so it won't be there either. I agree with what is out on University Avenue near the U of M St. Paul campus. I was at BC and MP tonight, and it just doesn't seem right for some reason. Too easy. Although, it hasn't been at Phalen for a looooooong time, but it certainly won't be on a golf fairway (not after what happened to the Phalen course the last time it was there). Tomorrow's clue should be a good one!!

Can somebody give me EVIDENCE (newspaper citation, eyewitness) that they said they would NEVER hide it at Mounds again? I have heard it said many times.

I started looking in 1992, so I am not familiar with what happened in 1987.

Somebody give me a real answer please?

There are so many buildings blocking the vision. I dont think it can be mears or anything like that. Parking would be hard too. I don't think it's downtown.

Nope, I am not the same Aaron who found it in Conway, but it was my friend Aaron.....and no, his wife Erin did not have an inside tip on where it was hidden. There are only a few people who know where it is, and she is not one of them. He was just "lazy" and that is why he did not have is button registered.

nice to seee alison and ww out there. and down town dave

If you find 2 medallions please share one with me

not much snow, if its at merrium there is not many places it could be, I found a cool old firering that has been filled in. just like the one at Como, nobody had dug that out until I got there last night so ther is still some areas to look but not much

I walked the perimeter of Mounds tonight. It took 2 hours. I found a new wardrobe practically

Mens Underwear, a bra, panties, 2 shirts, a sock, and a twin sized sheet.

wabbit - doubt you will get any "strong evidence" as i don't think there is any. It's just sort of an unwritten rule, or speculation. they could hide it at IM again, but everyone it seems is very doubtfull they ever will.

Amanda Cook - 09:31pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15855 of 24968)

Well, it will be interesting to see where this clue takes us all, as I see it, reading back over a couple hundred posts today, people are all over the place. No real consesus of at least which park, or even what its in for that matter. Something knitted? Perhaps. We'll just have to suffer a bit longer til the next clue.

Ares, you have any "treats"?

Good Evening!

Drove around a bit tonight doing some scouting. Didn't get as far as we wanted to, but did get far enough to report that zero people are at Newell. No obvious hunters at Como. Didn't see anyone at Battle Creek. Saw maybe 10 people max at Mounds. No one at Marydale.

I think it may be in an undeveloped part of a park, with tall grasses and brush and stuff to hid it under..

I also liked the traffic camera at merrium that was in the air & on the air

ANGIE A - 09:40pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15881 of 24968)

Wabbit - 09:40pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15882 of 24968)

Ramsey Hill: Wascally Wabbit, of Wamsey

Hi Terry,

Do you recall the story about it never being at Mounds again? Were you looking back in 1987?

Terry Valentine - 09:40pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15883 of 24968)

Someone asked about hard evidence that it wouldn't be hidden at Mounds. You won't find any evidence to that affect. It doesn't exist.

And welcome to the cooler to all who have ventured here for the first time!

Sorry I can't remember all your names, but the slogging is fast and furious here this year.

ok, I think hey hey were game to play is a quote by some one. notice that is in quotations but ok ok is not. I think ok ok is just for the rhyme and we should be figuring out the hey hey.

ANGIE A - 09:41pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15885 of 24968)

its my turn

how do you fit spark with merriam

StPaulOne - 09:41pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15886 of 24968)

From post 14686:

Clue #4 "Hey, hey," you say, "We're game to play But give us a tip -- be fair!" OK, OK, here's all we'll say Look for something in and on the air

hey hey, is a neil young song, as in "my my hey hey" he was part of crosby stills nash and young. DUUUHHHH!!!

Look for something in and on the air means in=airplanes(another border) on= the song on the air.

trip= crosby was a huge druggie drunk.

***

I looked at all the locations of the Medallion and compaired it to the list of parks at the St. Paul Parks web site. Crosby Farm is the only park that has not been the location yet since 1952.

Also, I stand by my earlier suggestion that it is very evident that we have a different writer this year. Potentially a gen-xer whom is more prone to writing clues with pop culture references that the traditional 'st. paul quirkyisms' or historical refferences of the past. Given all that...I think we are more likely to have a NEW location this year. Us Gen x-ers are very fond of the new and untried things.

Crosby Farm is my guess, but we'll wait for tonight's clue to confirm.

Jordenn - 09:41pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15887 of 24968)

Hi Terry!

Yea, we were out scouting too. Hit Battle Creek, Cherokee, Highland and Mounds. Only about a dozen people at Mounds. The other parks were empty........ hmmmmmmmmmm.... Not having much luck knocking down these clues. Ugh.

Wabbit - 09:41pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15888 of 24968)

Ramsey Hill: Wascally Wabbit, of Wamsey

Interesting legend about Mounds. Rumor has it that somebody did something to one of the burial sites.

Violent J - 09:41pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15889 of 24968)

Yeah...ive heard that it wont be and mounds either...but hey..until it comes directly from PP im not leaving that park out...

I think spark just rhymes with park

Terry Valentine - 09:43pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15892 of 24968)

I've been looking most of my life.

The issue about Mounds is that there are burial mounds for some Native people. There once were roads that went around those and some folks just couldn't be civil and leave the burial grounds be. There was a bit of a raucous about it...not only about the hunt but the use of the park in general. Now the roads around the mounds have been taken away and there are fences to discourage anyone from climbing on them.

If anyone today would see anyone climbing within those fenced areas, I'm sure they would say something to the idiots mighty darn quick!

Wabbit - 09:43pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15893 of 24968)

Ramsey Hill: Wascally Wabbit, of Wamsey

The only tip I saw at Mounds was:

Do not leave valuables in vehicles. Or perhaps, pick up after your dog.

Ramsey Hill: Wascally Wabbit, of Wamsey

Of the fences at mounds. By the overlook one could easily skirt it and go on the mounds.

NOBODY DO THAT OK?

I can almost always think of a reason not to put the medallion somewhere. Like the wildflower areas, etc.

Highland is about the biggest park...that could make it tough

Regman - 09:47pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15904 of 24968)

The serious medallion man

Lots of times, clues 5 and 6 are the clues that bring the hardcore hunters above the normal. I think we have a shot at figuring the park out tonight. We will for sure narrow the search doun to 4 parks or so, and there will be people fully leaning towards one park.

The Medallian Hunter - 09:47pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15905 of 24968)

Hey Hey - What about a "tide" detergent container - might be hidden in? Just a thought.....HELP

Thoughts about Crosby, I always thought that they closed the road to Crosby in the winter. Anybody know?

Terry Valentine - 09:49pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15910 of 24968)

What I like about Mounds vs. Cherokee is that Mounds actually has woods...not just trees. I also like that Holman Field is visible from there and of course there's tv/radio towers off in the distance.

Eags - 09:49pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15911 of 24968)

I want to be an iconoclast.

Last year, clue five talked only about what the medallion was hidden in, but of course we didn't know THAT until afterward.

Different writer this year, or so it seems, so ya never know what we'll get.

Violent J - 09:49pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15912 of 24968)

Theory 1-Dunning A) A radio tower nearby B) "Tip" like on a concorde-Concordia ave c) Fair game- baseball fields The problem is that dunning has no hills or trees

You probably could see KSTP if you can see it past the downtown area.

There was at least one big tower out south from the park that I noticed.

I still don't think they have told us what park.... only what to look for in the park....and what it is hidden in.... maybe on "in" the snown but "in the air" like hung from a tree or something.....what do you think.

Although the Blue Kitty is large, it has not the intelligence of the big bad Mike Wazowski

The serious medallion man

Theory 2-Newell A) A nearby radio tower B) "Fair",Fairview ave C) "I'm game", baseball fields D) Staying away from trees and trecking on hills= one half of the park has a lot of trees, and the other side has a sledding hill The only problem I see is that Newell seems like the last place they would put it now, but they may try to mislead us

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

Highs in the mid 40's this weekend, get ready for slopping rather than digging

Ok...so has everyone ruled out BC then? cause im not seeing any more mention of it in here.

Terry Valentine - 09:59pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15955 of 24968)

I think the only way one can trip over it is on the ground - unless you're walking up trees or whatever.

Jordenn - 10:00pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15956 of 24968)

Yeah LL- checked out Phalen too...... nothing! Not even sure where to check tomorrow when I go out. Man o man..... this year is harder for me than any previous year.

Medallion Hunter- I think you are right on the money...no park yet...just circumstantial clues

I don't think it is in the air. Why would there be the whole "trip" thing. I think the air is clearly a reference to a tower of some sort.

Don't like BC. Big Ski tourney this weekend, too much potential for hurting some of the skiers.

TODAY'S MIGHTY OAK IS JUST YESTERDAY'S NUT THAT HELD IT'S GROUND.

Maybe This Will BE THE YEAR - 10:01pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15961 of 24968)

Reg-- why rule out Newell, did something happen there? I was thinking about that park myself today.

Mike Wazowski - 10:01pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15962 of 24968)

Yeah, but the circumstantial clues should get you to the park.

Terry Valentine - 10:01pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#15963 of 24968)

I never like BC. Seems when it's been there is when we've lost our minds the most.
