http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=95ffcefe-4246-41c2-abbd-ab86d17bdf98

The site doesn't mention it yet, but this one will actually be a two-fer. It is connected with the Saint Paul Winter Carnival Medallion Hunt and a group of people who have been sharing thoughts for several years.

The "Pre-Dig Gig" is always at Patrick McGovern's on the Saturday night of the first clue. This year it will be January 24th, in our own area in the basement. It's a chance to see people before the hunt, meet new hunters, shoot the ****, drink a little ok, a lotta beer. The time is 7:00 pm to close.

Information about the group is available here:

and here:

Yes, I'm in the film, but it's only a cameo.

To comply with geocaching.com there will be an event log to sign, and I plan to have a few travel bugs. The main event will occur on the Sunday after the medallion has been found, most likely on February 8th.

If you plan to hunt the medallion, it would be a good idea to register at peoplesforum.com for insight into the clues and general BS. I know that Centris, towlebooth and jonsom registered last year.

Just reminding people that by Thursday we will know the truth of where the MAIN event will be held. It seems alot of people think it is at Phalen Park. If so that will be a close walk for me...

Unless there's a CRUEL, CRUEL trick tonight, the Park is Phalen in Saint Paul. I will attempt to get the coordinates changed on the event page, but here is where a cache used to be:

N 44° 59.550 W 093° 03.610

The main event will be at the (heated) Rec. Center, if it's available. If not, one of the pavilions will be used. No verification yet on electricity. Firewood will be greatly appreciated.

More info will be posted daily. Temporary caches are needed.

St. Paul Parks won't let us use the picnic pavilion. There is an outside chance we will be at the Phalen Rec. Center, but most likely at the shelter on the island.

With help from IAN..I have meet an entire group of people that are a great community of people that truely care about the PARKS....

After pushing geocaching on a bunch of them I have a feeling that we will see a nice increase of 4 to 10 more people in the next coming months.

The medallion hunt is just a form of letterboxing and some of these people have more knowledge of St. Paul parks then you can ever imagine.......this group could bring our game of geocaching to a great new level.

Thanks for your efforts. I think you're correct in your estimate, and may even be low. Wolves run in packs, or whatever. Get 2-4 of them interested, get a couple MORE active, and it could easily be 20+
