Thanks! This is the first year I've looked for the medallion; my husband and I have been taking our two little kiddos and traipsing all over town looking for it, but we've been having so much fun. We both grew up in Garden City/Holcomb but don't know enough about Dodge 'cause we just recently moved here so we're in the same boat, Sherry!

I'll hide a needle in a haystack and give you a hint about the pieces it's near!!!!

Thats what the hunt is all about shamrocker. It was found by a family from another state so knowing the town didn't help much.

I was sooooo close. I actually got out and looked around that pumping station Saturday, but didn't look in the drainage ditch just 15' away.

Oh well, better luck next year!

I think we were in that exact same spot too, but I can't remember what day, they all seem to run together now. On one hand, darn we were so close, but on the other hand, at least we were on the right track
Celebration!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAH I was WAY off! Will the paper be stating how the clues fit into where it was actually found? I didn't get the point of some of the clues with that location.

Man! I drove by there at least twice a day. It looks like Mr. O'Neil didn't have to go far to hide it this year. He only lives about 4 blocks from that spot.

The Clues and What They Meant

Source: DodgeCity.com: Dodge Globe: Local News: Stories

They come in many shapes and sizes - Drainage ditches vary in size and shape

Many are dirt, but some are paved - Not all the drainage ditches are dirt

The trail has many curves - Drainage ditches are full of curves

Where the metal meets the road - The bridge on Avenue A crossing the drainage ditch is completely metal

Most have many branches - Drainage ditches branch off in various directions

When they turn they roar - Tornado sirens are right above where the medallion was hidden

The high banks can be treacherous - Drainage ditches tend to have high banks

Water is key - Water runs through drainage ditches

Some times you need a lift - Nearby the medallion was a sewage lift
