Clue #3

Five score and the lucky plus one,
A veritable compilation of numbers.
Throw in the use of colors,
Knowing evenings do not encumber.

Walk diligently counting twelve then thirty-four,
It's all in how you look.
Dash around but not too swiftly,
Or your assistance could be easily mistook.

2024 Jimmy Johns Marigold Medallion Hunt Clues Explained

  2024 Jimmy Johns Marigold Medallion Hunt   I knew that Tante Park would be my choice earlier than I usually choose my hiding spot. In early June I created an episode for my podcast   “What’s the Story, Pekin”, where I enlisted Pekin Library’s local historian, Jared Olar to research a special topic.   I asked him if he could look into how a number of iconic Pekin locations got their names.   We titled it “What’s in a Name” and it included places like FM Peterson Theater, CB Smith and Wilson Schools, James Field, McNaughton Park and more.   Jared found great information.   But the place that had him stumped was Tante Park.   In a sense it was a story that is perhaps “lost to history”.   But I knew I had found the Medallion’s future hiding location.   That podcast would be part of my conceptual framework.   Using it would be new, unpredictable, and unexpected- just what keeps the Medallion Hunt special for many.   Besides,...

  2023 Medallion Hunt Explanations: Every year I’m tempted to think rotationally.  I naturally think: “where haven’t I been for awhile”. To avoid that I simply begin to think of places or spots to hide it.  That determines the general location.  The bike trail in Coal Miners Park just came to me.  I used the park three years ago and felt that was enough separation and could add to the intrigue.  The exact spot was inspired by looking at Google Maps.  Seeing Sunrise, Midway, Tazewell, Reservoir together with A, B, and C streets, I knew I had some good references to have fun with.  Admittedly I did more switching of the placement and rewriting of clues than usual.  In writing them, it’s always a case of “knowing what prescription I want to write but having to keep adjusting the dosage”.  With that in mind, here is each clue and their explanation.   Clue #1   I gladly welcome all my Medallion hunting friends  Pe...
