Clue #4
Published on Tuesday, February 7, 2023
Two trees are the oldest ones in the yard Joe and Jill currently call home,
Planted in memory of "Rachel" if back in history we roam;
The far side is in name somewhat the size of a grape,
​But orange in color yet similar in size and same shape.
Explanation:
Clue refers to the White House and the Biden's- two Magnolia trees on lawn planted in memory of President Andrew Jackson's wife Rachel who passed away shortly after he took office, the final two lines refer to a description I found of a Kumquat. Park lies between Magnolia St and Kumquat St. Medallion found on this day in Moor Park.

Clue #5
Don't get bogged down in the depths when out on your search,
A good place for your boat after fishing sunfish or perch;
The name's source seems a mystery or so we are told,
Maybe once was a swamp or pond if we dare be so bold.
Explanation:
The name of Moor Park is a bit of a mystery to me. Some of the descriptions of the word Moor are a bog or dry swamp, or a place to tie or moor your boat. My thoughts are original the area was boggy before housing development happen.

Clue #8
A rectangular shape forms a large protective screen,
And on it is labeled this number you've seen;
And right off the trail a tool box of sorts,
Wrapped in grey duct tape is the winning passport.
Explanation:
Final clue refers to backstop with number 2 on it, medalion near trail right by field equipment box.
Medalion was found on Tuesday morning, days earlier than I anticipated, a little detective work would have placed you in Moor Park but it is a large park. There were no tracks in the deep hard snow so medalion was near trail. Made an indention in the snow and placed a large snow/ice chunk over it. Rain and warm weather may have uncovered it. Thank you for being a part of our celebration. Reminder that next year is our 60th anniversary of the Coon Rapids Snowflake Days celebration.
