2003 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt - The Blair Witch Hunt

Ares

are you gonna have to repeat this answer about 50 times in the next month? Is there any way THX or you can post that at the top of a thread or something?

oh yeah and the question of the difference in times in the posts and time zone thing? I am already tired of reading it over and over and I am sure someone is gonna get tired of typing it everytime someone asks.

VJ!!!!
Jake & I looked over there with that group too- it was pretty cool- didn't we all start a bonfire or were those just the lamps -I think it was just a lot of lamps. It got very late. It was a good idea and I thought a pretty great hiding spot (by the streetcar station & bridge) :) -

Thanks for making me smile :)

in the words of me2, "boom baby".

yes dear. whatever you say dear. the header of the discussion has been modified. and you're welcome for the smile, dear.

And I sure hope there aren't too many diapers out there, cuz I know I am gonna have to check them out. And they probably won't even be frozen.

Nope you can have all the diapers tim. If jake did anything his last hunt, he made me think FORSURE its not going to be in a DIAPER again. The PP has already done it and now jake. No way not again!( k maybe) Here is a picture from last year. I found this at prosperity rec. I took a picture of it before I shredded it with my ice pick! Check everything you find period.......

I see you *MOM*. Checking in? Getting ready for the big hunt? Got the girls in prime shoveling form? Not having bad flashbacks with all this diaper talk, are you?

Hiya kids....(and all). Just trying to keep on top of the slogging - you guys have been BUSY :).

I really need to get to bed - the first time I read your post, I thought it said "having flashlights"....couldn't make it make sense!

The girls are *kind of* excited about the hunt coming up, but for the most part, they are cold weather wimps. They get cold after about 30 seconds, and invariably need to use the bathroom 5 minutes after we walk all the way from the car to where ever we want to dig. I *might* let them come out with us once or twice....otherwise, they'll be staying with a grandparent!

Trent--This one that I thought was cool!! I'll post here for everyone!!

Since 1952, not only the finding, but also the hiding of the Pioneer Press medallion during the Winter Carnival has been sheer adventure for a select few.
 One of the newspaper's earliest treasure hiders was the late Marsh Genshow, promotion director during the 1960s. Marsh presided over one hunt in which the winners were a pair of young grandmothers who found the medallion on a baseball diamond. "Those women were too smart for us," Genshow said in a interview in 1998. "They followed our tracks across the snow at Harriet Island. The tracks led them right to the treasure."
 On another occasion, Genshow and a co-worker were just about to hide the treasure late one bitterly cold night at the State Fairgrounds. When they were interrupted by a night watchman who wanted to know what they were up to.
  "We told him we needed some walking and jogging," said Genshow, "and he left us, muttering something about finding 'crazy people' in the middle of the night."

we are thrilled about that thanksbut I bet Kal is not ;)

Hey Treasure Digger and lilslim! Glad you made it here!

lol, Me2, it wouldn't do me any good from 180 miles away anyway ;)

sure you guys will. y'all have had your fun with the hunts. its time for the rest of us to dethrone yas :)

That guy probably had faith in J-Lo and Puffy.

just give up....medallionators will prevail

ok

i'll call up buggs and tell them not to wait for ya.

Last I saw, J-Lo was marrying Ben.

of course he did. but as we all know, they certainly didn't prevail.

What's the rationale for that course of action?

I can see the look of personal enjoyment on your avatar. Small problem with your plan though. You have to find it first.

I don't know. How long ago was that? I would think if it were that easy you would have already found it again.

It's not my life either. If it was, would I be engaged to get married? It's just something I enjoy doing for a few weeks out of the year.

certainly not to someone who lives in south dakota :)

Hey, if I find it early, maybe I can take it to show her and come back with it in time for the end of the hunt.

maybe :)

Psst. THX. Look who's here.

thanks to tmk for pointing out the problem before it became a problem :)

Oh THX, I'm sure it's just a "joke" ;)

I never saw Mr. News. Probably not the original one anyway. More likely someone who just thought it would be funny to use that name.

Oooh how nice. I had an e-gram (a few of them in fact) stating he had a joe.

I can block blockheads? ;)
