Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #9
Could it be Raspberry Island? It doesn't get more arched light than that.
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #9
I think there are still a lot of good Como arguments. I was never that sold on Central but I can see those arguments. Some things may make one think Harriet Island. I would say it's definitely not at Battle Creek. They would never use battle in Clue 1 if it was and I don't think other clues fit that well.
But at this point I still have to think Phalen. Clue 7 just fits him too well and that's about the clue where they might give us something like that. And then Clue 8 with the Zelensky tie in to the 73 Phalen find just seems too definitive. There's still a fair number of things that I can't make sense of, but that's not too surprising when you look at some past Clue explanations. And I even did a lot of research on Phalen for the WC Scavenger Hunt! If a clarinet shows up in the clues, I'll know exactly what that means! Lol

Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #9
I was positive it was Harriet Island and kinda gave up with the last couple clues. It's interesting to hear you still talking about it. Makes me want to reconsider.
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #9
If that is referencing a “round” lake that’s another plank in the phalen platform. The smallest lake in that “chain” is round lake.
Originally I thought that line was a reference to the Mississippi- which separates the east side ( generous boundary) from the west side and goes all around the town of St. Paul.

Maplewood round lake
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #9
East side west side all around town - round lake..
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #9
I'm with you Denise. I am wondering if the clue about Edward Phelan is telling you to get out of that park? "Better pack up and get outta this place" There some interesting photos over by the Pony ride zone in the online Treasure Hunter's guide as well. One of the photos on the site is a sign with east lot, west lot, and trolley directions. Eastside, westside all around the town. And it is over by where Kaufman and Midway intersect that fit clues as well. All over where you are talking about with the lighted arch and pony rides. I am still going to look at Como. Who knows...... :)
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #9
LOL alfabob... I was in that mob on the wooded slope. No more hunting for me this year. The smash and grab guy at the Como Pavilion took that away from me. I can't get my window fixed until next Monday. Hard to believe the glass shops are so backed up that it takes a week to get you in. I no longer feel safe. Anyways it could be the two arched bridges by the streetcar. Not sure they are lit. I did a lot of hunting on hills by Labyrinth and the open gates above the Pavilion.

Re: Phalen, Edward
Buddy could be a reference to Edward Phalen allegedly killing his partner, presumably a friend of his. Another interesting note is that Phelan was living in NYC when he enlisted in the Army and was assigned to be stationed at Fort Snelling.
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #9
It's great that so many parks still fit at clue 9! Keeps you thinking.

Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #9
1966 Harriet Island puck was found between the baseball diamond. 1975 Oliver Towne wrote Let's build an ice palace for good Old Bob Olsen. It was built on Harriet Island. 1992 MN hosted the super bowl (tackle) and the Ice palace was built on Harriet Island. 2018 MN hosted the super bowl again, Ice palace was in Rice Park, however the two teams playing were Phil Eagles and New England Patriots. Also do you remember that on the last block of ice a fish was found (ripe). Regarding hill maybe it's a reference to a physical hill or I think it's more to do with the family of James J. Hill and their business. Also, while checking out google maps, between Irvine Park and Shepard Rd there's a Mankato Subdivision. I mentioned before in other posts there's a lot of connections to downtown.
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #9
There are a few clue words & phrases that were also used in 2004 for Phalen. "Prattle" was in 2004 Clue 1. Perhaps a red herring for Battle Creek? "East side, west side," began 2004 Clue 4. "Bold" was "bolder" in 2004 Clue 10.

Not sure if these arches are lit up themselves, but there are street lights here.
Nearby is the Hmong Tuj Lub Field, and the archery range (mark, sights). Tuj Lub is a game played with a stick and a top (which looks like a cone). This is by Frost Ave (maybe muse, rhymes referring to Robert Frost or boxing references to Isaac Frost - Fight Night movie - kinda a stretch I know). Just throwing this out there in case someone wants to check it out.

Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #9
I figured that last line had to be an anagram with it's odd phrasing and spelling. "It's on a hill" would be one that certainly makes sense with the other clues. The clues to me sound like they ask you to do a lot of looking up. So does that mean it's at the top of a hill?

Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #9
This was brought up in chat. “I’ll no saith” is an anagram for “It’s on a hill.”
I still think it’s around Battle Creek. Cherokee is my second possibility.

Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #9
I'm still at como with this clue. Somewhere on the small hill in the Pony Rides Zone, if you have the latest Treasure Map Guide. That section of the park has the arched street lights which would be lit and seen by the person hiding the medallion at night.
