2022 Apple Valley Mid Winterfest Medallion Hunt
Primary tabs
ares flipped the medalliom this year after the fourth clue in Greenleaf park in snow up to his knees. We walked north and east along the walking path from 135th Street after the split clue and Matt pointed out that the basketball and tennis courts were in the northern half of the park. As we went along, we came across a split rail fence. Matt and Ed kept to the western half. ares slogged through the eastern part. We cleared out the snow around the fence posts, when ares noticed footprints in the snow going into the ravine. He followed them in to a low spot where they ended at a patch of snow that had obviously been touched. Sticking up from that snow was the corner of a Ziploc bag. When he saw that, he knew he had it. Unfortunately, he was so caught up in the moment that he didn't think to dig out his phone and video record the find.
Apart from a TC Treasure coin, while he has been part of team finds before, this was the first one that he flipped himself.
