Published on Thursday, March 5, 2020
As you make your drive, be sure to look alive.
Here there’s many activities abound.
It will be won, near an explosion of fun.
Where you can look on both sides and around.
Explanation:
* The word “drive” is meant to suggest Phalen Drive.
* Phalen Park offers a ton of activities. Also hinting at the activity center.
* “Explosion of fun” is a reference to the playground nearby the Mini Medal. The playground was made by a organization called Kaboom, this info is on a sign near the playground.
* “On both sides” and “around” are both Greek terms for amphitheatre. The Mini Medal was hidden between the play ground and amphitheatre.

No one is bolder, than a fearless soldier.
Caught amongst a downpour with big thunder.
At the time it was best, to hunt gold out west.
But now here lies gold to hunt and plunder.
Explanation:
* This whole clue is a reference to Edward Phalen. He was once a soldier and was accused of the murder of John Hays. At the time Phalen and a chief named Big Thunder were the prime suspects in the murder. Phalen was acquitted of the charges and later moved out west in search of gold.

Driving through the park, where oh where to park?
Head to the north lot or Bar and Grill.
Great contributions, yield the solution.
But being denied a drink would ruin your thrills.

Clue #4
Published on Sunday, March 8, 2020
Till now you’ve been failin, now it’s smooth sailin.
Not within construction but nearby a trap.
Having a nice picnic, should do the trick.
Between where kids play and where crowds would clap.

Peace and meditation, thanks to a nation.
Near a building in case of bad weather.
Big stone eyes, stair at the prize.
The golden chest is all tied together.
Explanation:
* “Failin” is a hint to Phalen Park.
* “Nearby a trap” is a reference to the sand trap across phalen drive from the Mini Medal.
* The Mini Medal was hidden in the picnic grounds.
* “Where crowds would clap” is a reference to the amphitheatre.
* “Meditation” and “big stone eyes” is a reference to the nearby Minnesota Rocks sculpture called Meditation. The sculpture looks directly at the Mini Medal.
* “Thanks to a nation” is a reference to the nearby flagpole.
* “A building in case of bad weather” is the nearby picnic pavilion.
* “All tied together” is a reference to the many posts on the side of the picnic pavilion. They’re all tied together. The Mini Medal was hidden amongst these posts.
* “Stair” was spelled this way purpose. Its references the stair of the amphitheatre nearby the treasure. Clever hunters will go with the direct line of sight of the Meditation sculpture straight to the Mini Medal.
