Thanks David I think the new site worked seamlessly. I enjoy this site and find it’s the only real reliable one for the hunt .I appreciate how everyone shared insight and is supportive of everyone’s ideas.Thanks again Juliann
Re: Blah
Oh and thank you David, l will not see you Sunday,, but enjoyed this sight!
Re: Blah
There was also the memorial with flag, sledding hill, summit, Schultz ice hockey, church and medical nearby that could fit. But many of the parks had the same though also. Weird, bizarre hunt. It took me for a twirl!
Re: Blah
You're the best, David! I love that it was hard, I love that we all struggled, I love the fun that I always have with this group! Thank you for all you do - it would not be as fun without you - you are every bit the legend as the medallion!!
Re: Blah
Arrrgh! Putts that are pitches! Highland is the only park in St Paul proper that has a disc golf course. Dan was right and I discounted what he said because I had spent so much time in Phalen! Good learning experience and change of strategy for next year: Dig in many parks early so as not to get my mind set on any one park.

Re: Blah
Yep, l was on Highland for years because it was so overdue and the first place it was hidden. I however switched on clue 9. The clue writer was so vague this year and it fit so many parks. I was feeling the BV, SH until it was found this morning. Clue 9 threw me. I don't golf so l wouldn't know about a sand trap. I am surprised it was found this morning. I am happy because l couldn't hunt anymore due to my mother's health going down.
Re: Blah
David, I agree. This clue writer had people all over the place. It made it interesting yet some frustrating too.
I like this new group you went with and I wanted to be sure to thank you for finding it and setting it up. It worked out great.

Re: Blah
I feel similarly, perhaps worse even, I live in the area and have played that disc golf course and walked that part of the park many times.
One clue I feel I have deciphered: "line three bodies water" --> The Water towers
From overhead the three water towers are not in a line, but if you stand from the lower part of the park - down hill from the golf course all three appear to be standing in line on top of the hill.
Worth noting too here that the lack of the word "of" denotes that you should not look for lakes, rivers and streams but rather something out of the ordinary.
I feel as if "perspective" types of clues like this are going to be important going forward. You can't google them, and the aerial maps like google maps don't help much.
Who knows maybe the explanations will be good for once.

Thank you David. I enjoyed the struggle!!

It's a weird feeling this morning. I was quite confident on Phalen and of course it sucks to be wrong. But I felt so much made sense there in a harmonious way. Highland I really never considered much. Even now I still don't get how the clues fit there. Even after reading Rose's explanations, it was like she was speaking in a foreign language. Some people's explanations of Highland still make me think, "No, it's at Phalen". I have a feeling the clue explanations will prove more painful. So in a sense I don't feel too bad. Some of you were on Highland, but let's face it, some of you are always on Highland, lol. People were all over the place and people had good explanations for those various parks. At this point I don't see how Highland was a *better* fit. It might have been worse. So even though many of us were wrong, I do think we all did a good job of working the clues and coming up with good theories. It was educational. I think it was still fun having such a debate about the park go on until the very end.
There is a press conference at the PP at 11am I think. The Rehash Bash is Sunday at 11:30am at Newell Park. And the Allison Wonderland Mock Hunt will be in March. I hope everyone found this forum useful even if I did push you into the wrong park. I think the new venue worked out fine. And for those of you who will be bailing out soon, hopefully we will see you next year.

Re: Park Pool Winner
Congratulations! I need to read those park pick rules and try it next year. Thank you for doing this for the group❣️
Re: Park Pool Winner
Sorry....it was was not me. In fact l got a phone call last night. My 98 year old mother has suddenly gone downhill and l gotta pack to fly out to see her. David l will sadly not be at Rehash bash which l had planned to attend. Yep, l still had Highland in my mind because of the towers, swim holes, Frisbee, police station (guarantor) Syndicate str. (GRU).
Re: Park Pool Winner
Or secretrose.
Re: Park Pool Winner
I hope MN Red found the medallion, as well. Congrats!
Park Pool Winner
I'm hearing more reliable confirmations that it was indeed found in Highland (even if I was sure it was Phalen). That being the case, the winner of the Park Pick Pool, (with a perfect score no less!!!) is MN Red! She gets the $100 prize as soon as we can figure out how to get it to her.
Re: Medallion Found!
I was pretty much there. There is a walking path between the holes right south of the Edgecumbe bridge and I think it was on the western side of it. I was digging on the eastern side of it and a couple without any tools were looking around. They split up and then met back up and I saw something get flashed between them while I was around 30 feet away. They then took off.
Re: Medallion Found!
That’s where I went tonight as soon as the paper came out. And I knew as soon as I got there that it would be found tonight. Mad props to the finder!
Re: Medallion Found!
Putts that are pitches...frisbee golf:/
Re: Medallion Found!
I don't want to rain on the finders parade so I'll let them elaborate, but I got a call a little while ago from someone I trust saying that it was at Highland in the ravine near the bridge where Edgecumbe turns east off of Hamline.
