Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #8
I think you are right. Central Park fits the Queen clue so much better than Como and as others have said, Central Park has that New York connection. There is also a Brooks Ave that goes around the Southern portion of the park and Chatsworth, Churchill, Oxford and Lexington all run in to it.
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #8
Any thoughts on why more commas were used in this clue compared to how prior clues have been punctuated (or not)?
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #8
WBL is also the HQ site of Hockey Day in MN this year.
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #8
I think this clue is about Jake - ryhmes with rake. A "hero" for finding the puck with only 3 clues and causing a second medallion to be hidden - in Central Park.

Come down from your perch clue I thought bald eagle in white bear
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #8
WBL is north of St. Paul.
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #8
The 2001 treasure was found at Como by 2 teachers (studious). One was named Cathi Hogan (maybe hero = Hulk Hogan?). Just a thought.
Re: Phalen, Edward
Reference to Crosby who was a farmer
Re: Phalen, Edward
clue may 8 refer to Herb Brooks who I believe went to school and grew up by Phalen.
Re: Phalen, Edward
Yeah the part that gets me with that clue is it says buddy where I feel it's a person. So phalen could work, hamm for swede hollow?
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #8
I think PP is referring to Ellingson and crew who found it in WBL and the year before in Highland Park! Two time finders!
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #8
A hero by another name could be a sub if we are talking sandwiches. That could help the case for como - or maybe I’m hungry.
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #8
"by another name" could this be a reference to Shakespeare? "A rose by any other name" Rose Ave. is right near the grouping of streets previously mentioned.
The Queen song would be Victoria
"Killing it" would be N Kilburn
Also, parking the car, street references in the Queen song, and the sidewalks of New York all make me think they are trying to get us to look at street names. Maybe I'm just too zeroed in on Como though.

Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #8
That is amazing! I found the Treasure Hunt by Roger Barr from 1992 but not Map Guy's latest book. UGH.
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #8
That seems pretty obscure about Ragsdale. Map Guy makes sense as the person they're talking about, but do they really mean to give us the park this way? And you're right that it doesn't seem to fit the other clues very much. Maybe the park isn't the clue but rather his name, though I can't connect it to anything.

If so, how would any of the other clues fit this area? In earlier clues, when I thought the present CW sounded like Jim Ragsdale, I went to the Cooler Crew site to research past hunts and saw the 2015 hunt as a tribute to him. Is that what we are supposed to get from Clue 8? Some sort of tie-in to Jim?

Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #8
I can't find my treasure hunt book by map guy. We moved and I have some unpacked boxes still. I wonder what he says about Como Park in there? I know there are tons of photos on his web site. yeesh, this just keeps getting weirder.

Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #8
We thought alike on this clue.
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #8
Is Clue 8 talking about Mapguy? Or Jake?
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #8
Are they talking about Map Guy in 2015 at Snail Lake?
