2005 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

Submitted by THX 1138 on

Discuss the 2005 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt here.

Very interesting...

I just read at the PP Website that the Med used before that was blue is now retired and looks different now. I guess they will be auctioning off the old one.

The folks at PP Water Cooler have some pretty good ideas too.

Suppose I had better get some zzzzzzzzz's.

The time on these posts are 2 hrs off - it's 5 am. When I signed on there were people's posts from 9:30 pm and I was thinking "How do they know the clue already?" So thought it was a bogus clue - I've had that happen to me before.

i dont think any other parts of the park have been given, usually we dont get the park till clue 9 or so but with this big parki think we got it early...i dont think the elway and gannon are any more than hints at the park...what we need is a structure in the park to narrow it down??? any ideas???

"Chilled to the marrow" --

If you say that you are chilled to the marrow or frozen to the marrow, you are emphasizing that you are very cold.

Does this mean that you are not hot as in off the trail.... off the scent?

Are we not seeing a pattern here>?

Chilled to the marrow only a yarrow Could love the place you found Lonely and forsaked, the puck rests naked

lonely and forsaked by... trees???
forsaked by people in general???

When I get 'chilled to the marrow' it is usually from a cold breeze... one that may not be blocked by trees...

which could be out in the open, off the top of my head I cannot remember if it was Crosby or HF that had the big open areas...

Now the "-so scoot" reference is making a lil more sense (maybe)...

I would look in the parking lot, in the open area that is in the vivinity of the shelter, that has room and wood to burn

Oh, and I think that Helter Skelter just rhymes nice with shelter...

not only do the rivers branch off at Crosby... so do the paths on what appears to be the west side of the parking area....

hmmm.....

Don't know why, but I'm skipping the bar, skipping the paper, grabbing some wood, going to the park to follow-up on a hunch by my father-in-law.

"Keep on rockin' in the free world !"


This is a hint of his hunch people!


TerryV 1/28/05 11:44pm

I think this writer is taking us down the path, in and out of the woods from the shelter.  First we were given the park. Now we're on the narrowing it down parts with a "map" to lead us to the prize if we figure it all out correctly.


I think your on it terry.
