Clues
Clue #1
Published on Thursday, February 27, 2020
As the wind blows, temps are still in the lows.
Staying straight and positive is key.
Withstand the harsh gales, you’ll surely prevail.
Find it within the breeze and jump with glee.
Explanation:
* Wind, gales, and breeze. Are all a reference to Vento. Vento in Italian means “wind”.
* “Straight” is a reference to the straight line of oak trees the Mini Medal is hidden within.
* “Positive” is a reference to Positively 4th Street that boarders Brice Vento Nature Sanctuary.

Clue #2
Published on Friday, February 28, 2020
Go make haste to a place once filled with waste.
Removed over fifty tons of litter.
We’re not bluffing, you’ll windup with nothing.
If you fail look to the bird called Twitter.
Explanation:
* BVNS was once a dump/wasteland. They removed over 50 tons of garbage to clean up the park and help make it what it is today. If you call the ranger marker #9 the story talks about the dump. The ranger marker is close to the Mini Medal.
* “Were not bluffing”, the Mini Medal is far from the bluffs.
* Twitter is a reference to the park, BVNS is a bird sanctuary and migrating area for birds. As a cool easter egg find, if you search Medallion Militia on Twitter you would have found a brand new account created the same day this clue was released. There was a post on the Twitter account saying “Its a sanctuary”, hinting at BVNS. Extra point to those who figured that out!

Clue #3

Follow this guide, to find where the chest hides.
Near a park that’s lit up sometimes for starters.
To make it a lock, take up a nature walk.
Then throw your cap four to five markers.
Explanation:
* “Guide” is a reference to the Ranger Call stations. A guide to the Mississippi river. Ranger marker #9 is close to the Mini Medal.
* The Saints stadium is lit up sometimes for starters. And is also right next to BVNS.
* The Ranger Markers depict a ranger CAP on the signs. The Mini Medal was hidden between trees 4 and 5 from the Ranger Marker.

Clue #4
From hard work and labor, to peace and nature.
Nature’s sanctuary of protection.
Matter big or small, they’re always on call.
The Rangers should draw closer inspection.
Explanation:
* The first two lines reference Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary.
* Lines 3 and 4 reference the Ranger On Call signs throughout the park.
* “Grassy cloak” is a hint that the Mini Medal was hidden using grass rather than snow this time.
* The Mini Medal was hidden in the line of small oak trees and the lines of stone slabs.
* From Ranger marker #9 Oak Woodland, make a line of 4-5 trees. The mini Medal was hidden between tree 4 and 5 covered in tall dead grass.
