There's always a possibility. Look at Conway - everyone thought of an existing hiding place and the writer fooled us - for a while until Allison Wonderland posted it here.

Notice, the med is in something that will blend in well, unnoticable to somebody walking by, white, earth tones....not something in a tide box or in an orange hat...too noticable ....

True chilly, but sometimes it is inside of two things ie....1997 Como Park – in a Curad bandage box, wrapped in a red bandana

Do most people beleive it is at BC?? The only part I have been to is the big sledding hill area....how do I get to the rest of the park? Or isn't there another entrance? I don't think it would be at BC just because of the SKiing this weekend.

What other parks are peopel talking about...I personally like Mounds

It has been double package many times. But in un-eyecatching items. Things like garage that people would just lose or throw away or even white/brown to blend in with the ground.

Ok somebody said a couple of days ago the trip over thing could mean that it is in a log on the ground. So with that in mind what if it is in a hat stuffed into something that looks like it belongs in the open area.... Just in case it didnt snow before the hunt began?

There will be a lot of people here tonight when Clue #6 comes out and you can guarantee there will be a lot more out digging afterwards. Wish I could be at PP when the clue comes out. Would love to go out digging with the cooler gang. Live in Apple Valley and husband works nights and can't leave 2 small kids at home by themselves.

Please let it be my turn this year!!!

St. Anthony Avenue and Wilder Street, is the largest park. Its oak covered knolls provide a relaxing setting for summer picnics and winter sledding. Tennis courts, skating rinks, football, soccer and baseball fields within the park offer additional recreational opportunities. Merriam Park also has a gymnasium and recreational programs run by St. Paul Parks and Recreation and an outdoor Play area for kids. what do ya think?

This is clue 6 from last year.... Part of it sounds kind of familiar:

The prize is at a place with lots of space Where riding around can be fun But you'll have to move off base If you hope to be the victorious one

"Lots of space" refers to Como Park, one of the largest public spaces in St. Paul. "Riding around" refers to the rides at the small amusement park north of the medallion's hiding place. "Moving off base" tells hunters not to look on any baseball fields in the park.

I think it's OK to lurk Randy. It's better they get an idea of what they're talking about before saying "It's at Como" 100 times, and filling up the board with really nothing to add. All we really do is try and point out the park, not the actual place to dig in the park.

Just a thought on the "hey, hey, you say" clue and the Como theory...As has been stated earlier by myself and some others, Willie Mays was known as the "Say Hey Kid", he was called that because he was known for saying, "Say hey, let's play two" as in a doubleheader. Could hiding it at the same park two years in a row be considered a doubleheader? My brain hurts...

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.

How many lurkers do you think watch our discussion without having anything to add???

Hundreds.

Is that cheap ???

Is it rude???

or is it acceptable??

Sure it is. It's a public forum and we choose to discuss the hunt here. We could always make our own forum but, would that be rude?

It's not like people won't find it without this forum. As much as many people don't want to believe this.... by the time THE PARK is discovered it's simply a matter of who stumbles upon it first.

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.

lurker?

Someone who reads but doesn't post. Therefore you don't know they are there...... stealing your ideas.

I guess you could call me a "LURKER". I read all the posts, but don't post here often. Mostly because there is always so much slogging to do that by the time I would add anything, it's already been said and I don't want to just be repeating what someone else has posted.

Just in case you're wondering...I used to live in St. Paul and have been a hunter since the 70's. I do try to get involved with the Winter Carnival festivities this time of year and this is one way I can do that.

I don't consider it rude to "LURK".

How does one become a member of the CoolerCrew,(is that the correct term?) you know the people who are die hard medallion hunters and supposedly wear white to distinguish themselves. I have been a hunter for about 5 years now, but have only begun to use this site as a reference this year. If it involves some sort of paddle and spankings, I'm out!!! Or if there is some sort of sacrificial destruction of your favorite shovel, I'm out again! J/K You all seem like a nice group of people, and have great insight.

I have to find it there is no other way!

The merchant’s word 5 Delighted the Master heard; For his heart was in his work, and the heart Giveth grace unto every Art. A quiet smile played round his lips, As the eddies and dimples of the tide 10 Play round the bows of ships That steadily at anchor ride. And with a voice that was full of glee, He answered, ‘Erelong we will launch A vessel as goodly, and strong, and stanch, 15 As ever weathered a wintry sea!’ And first with nicest skill and art, Perfect and finished in every part, A little model the Master wrought, Which should be to the larger plan 20 What the child is to the man, Its counterpart in miniature; That with a hand more swift and sure The greater labor might be brought To answer to his inward thought. 25 And as he labored, his mind ran o’er The various ships that were built of yore, And above them all, and strangest of all Towered the Great Harry, crank and tall, Whose picture was hanging on the wall, 30 With bows and stern raised high in air, And balconies hanging here and there, And signal lanterns and flags afloat, And eight round towers, like those that frown From some old castle, looking down 35 Upon the drawbridge and the moat. And he said with a smile, ‘Our ship, I wis, Shall be of another form than this!’ It was of another form, indeed; Built for freight, and yet for speed, 40 A beautiful and gallant craft; Broad in the beam, that the stress of the blast, Pressing down upon sail and mast, Might not the sharp bows overwhelm; Broad in the beam, but sloping aft 45 With graceful curve and slow degrees, That she might be docile to the helm, And that the currents of parted seas, Closing behind, with mighty force, Might aid and not impede her course. 50

In the ship-yard stood the Master, With the model of the vessel, That should laugh at all disaster, And with wave and whirlwind wrestle!

Covering many a rood of ground, 55 Lay the timber piled around; Timber of chestnut, and elm, and oak, And scattered here and there, with these, The knarred and crooked cedar knees; Brought from regions far away, 60 From Pascagoula’s sunny bay, And the banks of the roaring Roanoke! Ah! what a wondrous thing it is To note how many wheels of toil One thought, one word, can set in motion! 65 There’s not a ship that sails the ocean, But every climate, every soil, Must bring its tribute, great or small, And help to build the wooden wall!

The sun was rising o’er the sea, 70 And long the level shadows lay, As if they, too, the beams would be Of some great, airy argosy, Framed and launched in a single day. That silent architect, the sun, 75 Had hewn and laid them every one, Ere the work of man was yet begun. Beside the Master, when he spoke, A youth, against an anchor leaning, Listened, to catch his slightest meaning, 80 Only the long waves, as they broke In ripples on the pebbly beach, Interrupted the old man’s speech.

Beautiful they were, in sooth, The old man and the fiery youth! 85 The old man, in whose busy brain Many a ship that sailed the main Was modelled o’er and o’er again; The fiery youth, who was to be The heir of his dexterity, 90 The heir of his house, and his daughter’s hand When he had built and launched from land What the elder head had planned.

‘Thus,’ said he, ‘will we build this ship! Lay square the blocks upon the slip, 95 And follow well this plan of mine. Choose the timbers with greatest care; Of all that is unsound beware; For only what is sound and strong To this vessel shall belong. 100 Cedar of Maine and Georgia pine Here together shall combine. A goodl

Mine is Como... 1) Search Far and Wide (Big Park in St. Paul)

2) Time to Kill lots of different activities there (Zoo, Conservatory, Outdoor activities too many to name, Amusement park)

3)Clue 3 could be anything. There is plenty of open spaces on the ground to hide it

4)There are baseball fields there to tie into the Mays thing and the doubling of words also suggests the doubling of parks

5)Lots of space to amuse tiny tots once again the amusement park and zoo

Now where in that HUGE park is still anyones guess

Hello! I'm new to water cooler...have been having trouble logging on up until now! The BC tie-ins seem to fit except what would fit "on and in the air" - I was thinking a radio station, i.e. "we're on the air" - and their tower can be seen in the air -- is there a park within viewing distance of KSTP towers? As that is also an A B C affiliate? Also - any thoughts on "knit your brows" from Clue #2?

I was also thinking that another take on the "in and on the air" could be the clue linking to what the medallion may be found in. Since we are lacking snow, has there ever been a year where the medallion was found up in something? My husband and I can't think of a time...but just a thought. Give us a tip? -- maybe wrapped in a restaurant guest check, etc.??

It looks like it's the end of an era. C-ya on the new board CC

Lisa - I've always liked the echo thing. Unless people have actually been to Mounds, they won't know what your talking about. Although I don't think it narrows things down to where in the park, just that it's in the park.

Thanks StepDogg -- I should refresh myself on hunting rules, but for some reason I thought there was a time it was hidden in a pipe or tube off the ground...

Como Park.... Near streetcar station,(trip), baseball fields in McWhatever field on the south side of COmo, and across from the pool, or water stuff at Como there is a 'Ball field. less than 200 yds. from where they are doing the snow sculptures(showing there pride--one is an american flag). In the air is (to the west) the Space Tower at the fairgrounds.Plenty of hills, yet this is downhill, on the flatlands....away from the woods(golfcourse on the north end)AMUSEment park not far from there, --a Carnival of sorts in summer--Fun and SLIDE at McWhatever park on south end of Como.... I'd say check out the baseball field by the snow sculptures, where you can see the space tower, or by the streetcar station, or very near the amusement area by the zoo, where there is a tot playland with a train (trip)to climb on ---or under...-- I'd say that if you check the ball field, it would be in a fair ball area, and if trip is meant to be literal following that idea, id look on the baselines. Also on the baseball note, you'd be squinting (knitting your brow)in the outfield or when batting....

Good Luck!!

I'm trying to figure out what the medallion may be hidden in/wrapped in, etc. -- by this time last year - we knew it was in a Dove container...that's why I'm kind of stuck on Clue #4 as a possibility for finding out what the prize is actually hidden in...
