Thank you, Christy, and the tons of hunters. What a blast this week has been for me and my family!

I love a good brain teaser. Traipsing through our city's parks is a bonus.

I appreciate being thanked for picking up garbage...I have to say that I was amazed by all of the garbage in every park. It was a good lesson for my family--DO NOT LITTER!

I will be looking forward to next year!

Thank you, again!!

My father and I found the Medallion together. I just read all the clues last night for the first time My father and I sat down and started to think about where it could be this morning. We both went to look for the first time today after work and got rather lucky. It was staring us right in the face in the first spot we looked. Hanging tied from a branch on an evergreen next to the gazebo on the West side of the park. I am sure several searchers walked right past it like we almost did. Thanks to everyone involved in making this event possible!
