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.

slim,

I did some scouting out BC earlier.

Got a awful cold and pink eye, so not much fun to hunt right now. Maybe tomorrow when it's in the 40's

have you been out

Ok, back to MLK,

Again, I have crossed it off my list.

Concordia is also OLD RONDO. A rondo is a piece of music with repeats, is it not.

The sign actually says OLD RONDO.

I liked it last year for go the old way once again since 94 is covering RONDO now.

We'll work something out. I have 100's of blank CDs.

There was an A B and C street up there which I thought was the trio of letters that year. (It was 3M)

me too !

I walked those steps today...ICY !

But, in the end, I liked MLK yesterday because of the allusion in the beginning to America and Patriotism. That is the carnival theme.

Thanks for the clarification.

Tide could still mean what it is in. My dad suggested the little small box you could get from a vending machine. Then it could be wrapped in a knit item,

sort of like the earmuffs one year.

Purely an anagram, anyone willing to help. Take your hunters guide and look for streets. Than see if any words or phrases in the clue are scrambled versions of the street names. I think we may get ourselves farther than we thought.

reg, dalliance and i also noticed that. using the word and instead of n would have made no difference in the meter of the verse. so that's an as yet unresolved question.

It's really small...they have the tennis courts on the west end, the paking lot and rec center and then the "tot lot" and then a small hill and two ball fields, glazed with ice. A few trees around it...I don't think it's there. It's on Orchard and Milton, near Gabes by the Park (bar) and Como Ave.

I went to Phalen Rec last year. They have paths, and a hockey rink. There was something odd written on the hockey rink last year.

This was the place where Sherwood crosses Forest. Forest is a woods reference.

What was that other street a few down that people were talking about last year?

I should get a map or buy that book. I have a handicap.

Love ya, Mom!!! (((M)))

Was out at BC... From what *I* could see, Mac, too - there ain't nutting in the air that you can see down by the picnic. And the cops are keeping folks from digging at the opposite end, where the ballfields are.

And, if you *were* to find something in the air down by the picnic pavillion, then the tot territory izz outta site. And... the clue states to look for this. Usually when this is said, whatever they're referring to can be seem from the spot where The Med's hid.

Also, noodle this: All St. Paul rec centers are considered 'parks,' whether or not they're really named such. But all St. Paul parks are not rec centers...

Could still be Como, Mac. I've not given up on Como yet...

And Conway izz looking pretty good with library.

I don't know...

Cheek's WORSE!

Seems we've our first NTFCF Blooper...

I was being filmed sliding --------------> into the focus o'the camera, you know? I'd take off, slide, and end upright in front o'the camera?

Did it, and did it, and did it, until I was huffing and puffing...

And kept doing it.

Only this one time... right as I got in line with the camera, BOTH feet went out from under me and I flew thru the air like a sack o'potoates! Just missed the PA gaffing - holding a mike - laying on the ground outta camera range...

EVERYBUDDY, including me broke up!!! They say ittiz classic... I come sliding into camera range with this happy, cheerful smile on my face, only to have my mouth fly open and my eyes pop out in shock and surprise... And I compeletely disappear!!!!

Only to me could it happen.

And let me tell YOU, LLady! I've one REALLY SORE BUTT!!!!

The frenzy is upon us.

Hmm.

Very interesting this year... Doesn't seem to be too much bull in the clues so far, but depending on the next couple days' clues, I could easily see this getting to be a "let's throw out a bunch of vague bits and then herd them all into the right place near the end" fatality like Conway's hunt.

I'm not sure I like where the hunt's reputation is going. This is now being taken too commercially. The release of the newspaper clues and the website clues used to be pretty congruent. Now they're specifically releasing the clues at the PP 1 hour beforehand... and *gasp* when you're at the PP waiting, look at all the capitalist propaganda!

I'm sorry, but this was much more fun when the prize wasn't worth more than 5 grand. Half for the medallion, half for the support of the winter carnival. Now we can add on the collection of the daily clues.

As a side note, I'm guessing that the instating of the validity of the website clues was done as a motion of accepting a mistake regarding a plan to get people to purchase the PP more often. Originally, it seems logical that someone thought it would be a good idea to toss some more cash into the event if all the clues were clipped out of the paper. Approximately 9-11 papers multiplied by however many hardcore hunters there are out there (aren't we all? :) would probably equate, given a few more advertising and marketing models, to well more than the additional 5 thousand bucks they award the winner. Someone calling BS on them and requesting that the website clues (which is still indirectly traffic to their publication, although not as splendid as people purchasing the newspaper) be accepted wasn't apparently thought of. So, next time, release the Press's clues an hour ahead of time, and shove a bunch of commercials and dreck at the populace! Great idea! Oh well.

The hunt in Cherokee park a few years ago was the last hunt I had any fun on. There weren't more than a small herd of people outside the Press upon release time, and I'm willing to bet that THAT herd was only as large as it was because the distance to Cherokee park made it very convenient to be there in the first place. It's now a commercial attraction. Great.

</RANT>

Alright. I'm done whining. I have to get my quota in before I can have any fun digging. :)

From what I've read so far, it seems that many people are not listening to the tenants of the hunt:

I'm willing to bet the prize money, and more, to 99% accuracy, that:

- The medallion will NOT be hidden in a high traffic area. If you see many footprints around made by non-hunters, you can probably look elsewhere. - It will NOT be hidden directly next to or under an object. (Trash cans, bleachers, whatever. When will you cherubs learn?) - It will NOT be hidden in a place where snow removal will take place, or could potentially take place, or in an area that will as a result of snow removal bury it. - It will NOT be hidden in a sketchy area of St. Paul.

There are more, but these are key.

The skill of visualising the park is not from solving each clue specifically, but by learning the behavior of the clues... I mean, year to year, there are very apparent trends that are made with the prose and the vocabulary of the clues... and once you read through all the hunts, clues, and explanations that you have access to, you'll be able to SEE what these clues are foreshadowing.

I have a lot of confidence in merely studying past hunts and comparing similar trends for the front half of the search. There's nowhere near enough data to even think about doing anything more than drive around and scope out the different possibilities that the first few clues narrow the hunt down to (which are still plentiful :( ).

Then again, it might all change tonight. :) All of us have the potential to get into a frenzy, grab the shovels, and dig ourselves late to work tomorrow :)

So, opening the questions, do you guys think that it

Someone was asking about what's in and on the air in BC. Well, there are airplanes flying overhead. And Pt. Douglas Drive is nearby--Paul Douglas is on TV. There's also a Falcon St. and a Cardinal St. But, I'm not convinced BC is the place.

I just feel so lost with these darn clues! We could be running all over the city for the next 3 days! With the snow melt to come, I'm afraid someone will just stumble onto it unwittingly. Anyone have any ideas that make any sense?

Sorry to sound like a party poop here, but I did a quickie through Merriam last night just to see what everyone is hub-bubbing about (didnt like it much) and I spotted that camera crew. Ok, Ok. You've made your movie, it was fun...la-la-la...now take those cameras back to NY and let us dig in F@#!*%*& peace. Screw your additional footage...you are turning the hunt into a joke...I agree with (sorry forgot who said it up there)that the best recent hunt was Cherokee. The clues were fly, hunters were hunters...the bs was minimal. I'm not complaining about the $10,000 plus dollar prize, but cant we have substantial prize and integrity or do we have to sell out?

BC, Ares.

gogreen (boy! Does it ever feel weird to type THAT! :D), I'm not sold on Falcon and Cardinal and planes in the air.

Clue said "in AND on the air."

That 'and' is important. Gotta go together. Planes and birds are only "in" the air, they're not "on" it. Only broadcast waves are in the air - as they're transmitted - and on the air - when they're received.

Am I the only one noticing the dualities this year? Like Chair-O-Key? Talk about double vision!!!

But Ares, when you say "The Weakest Link is on," that's short for "on the air." The thought is understood. And when a show is "on" (on the air), ittiz being received by the TV, not being transmitted which is "in the air" - the waves going thru the air to the TV...

The frenzy is upon us.

The tower is pretty solid. What about the rest of my questions?!

I'm pretty sure that Battle Creek and Phalen are out. BC has the scruntiny of the Maplewood people not liking their park torn up. Phalen has a golf course connected, and there hasn't been a "stay away from the golf courses" warning in the clues.

Although, there is a definite feeling of a completely different brain writing the clues this year. The style is nowhere near the last 5 years' worth of hunt.

Unfortunately, with this logic, Highland would be out until convinced otherwise, too. :( I like Highland...

Usual Suspect - Yes it is - but BC is not a "st. paul park" - but keep looking there if you like......

Jeez why don't hide 4 medallions, making it worth 2,500 each and have the same clues for all the hiding spots. That would make it fun. But that would also complicate the hunt...

matt, there's definitely a different clue-writer this year, or at least a different personality of the previous one. battle creek is eligible in the fact that maplewood doesn't get to complain if its dug up, especially if its the st paul side thats dug up, as the park is run by the county, not the city. good observation about phalen. i'll add another one though. the only area that qualifies as having both on and off street parking as clue 5 requires is the rec center area of it.

Hahaha skunk :) I thought about that a couple years ago.

So, is there a Merriam expert in the crowd? We went for a drive around it last night and it really doesn't seem like there's anywhere to logically dig for anything; too many footprints. I saw some cameras running around by the rinks, but it wouldn't be by a hockey rink (traffic). There were a few nice places, but they weren't in view of the tower.

I think I liked the previous clues' grammar better than this year's, so far. However, the nifty rhyme and rhythm seems to make the clues a lot more fun to read aloud :P

    Master, save your breath on the Maplewood/St. Paul xplination about BC. The rec center portion is in St. Paul; the eastern section, to the east of McKnight, is in Maplewood. Some folks just will not in anyway believe it.

    Good evening all - more mapping looking and noodling has come up with the following.

    What do you think?

    "be fair" - Fairview Avenue Runs right along Newell

    all we'll - Wheeler street is the other side of newell

    Wooded park with rolling hills

    Has a "tot lot" - listed on the friends of parks website

    rec - can't quite fit this, but there is a four season heated building there, not officially a rec center, but could be thought of as one.

    on the air - a road a block or so to the south is Hubbard - ie. Hubbard broadcasting

    in the air - basketball hoop.

    Anyone agree or disagree?

    I thought I was going out scouting tonight. Guess not.

    I think just about any clue could fit about any park right now without much stretching. It's all in interpretations. Whoever interprets the clues correctly will find the right park. After that it's the luck of the shovel.
