This has to be some sick, twisted joke!  I don't believe it.  I'm waiting for the punch line.  It better not be names on the stupid monument thingy or I'm gonna freak!

The Pahlen thing must be an error.  I just called the hotline and they said it was found a couple hours ago at Crosby park

//ok, it's not that funny.  but I think i did soil myself when I read that.

If it really was at phalen, which I am doubting, who is down for a sing-in at the pioneer press? Jester and I will print the words to "love the one your with" and "this land is my land"

ok - I take back what I said earlier about wanting it in a different park on the 12th clue just to send everyone running.

part of me hopes it was a typo - the other part of me - would like to believe that my gut was right - and I just couldn't go with Crosby - altho it never occured to me to noodle the clues for phalen - which is stupid - as how much 'recent' history we all still have from last year.

errrr!

If the hotline says one thing, and the paper another, which is more believable? has anyone tried contacting the pp?

Jester

can we sing just Crosby Stills & Nash songs or do we have to include Young?  He really doesn't have a very good voice.

The Pioneer Press has confirmed the winners in its annual Treasure Hunt. The medallion was found at St. Paul’s Crosby Park just after 3 p.m. Tuesday.

A West St. Paul family – Judy Melville, her son Ryan Melville and her son-in-law Hayward Estepp – followed the tenth clue published in the Pioneer Press to find the medallion under the bark of a large fallen tree branch.

The Pioneer Press will introduce the winners and award prizes at a news conference at 6 p.m. today – Tuesday, Feb. 1 – at the Pioneer Press’ downtown St. Paul headquarters at 345 Cedar Street.

It was at Crosby. The hotline does say that. Nothing says yet where exactly. I just talked to someone in the park and she said they were just told about 15 minutes ago out there that it was found.

Calm down Timmers...I'm sure it was just some dumbass that can't read.

Under the bark, eh?

Sounds like they are breaking their own rules here.

I generally search but don't destroy.

Someone better call The Mayor.  Joe is going on about it being found at Phalen.

Yeah, joe probably called them and told them to get it right, since he knew where it was.

New Daddy was right - don't dig, look under logs and under the bark of logs
