2006 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

 :eek:

He would be old enough - to be the father of the boys who started Pearsons.

and P. Edward Pearson (perhaps the P for his first name is a carry over)??

Maybe the P stands for Pear?

Man, I go away for like 2 hours and there are 200+ unread posts for me to read. Incredible! Bleah, I have to go to class, maybe I'll see y'all at the PP tonight. How many of you guys will be there?

wow, "son of Pear Bengston" , so is this the founder of Pearson's candy?

My team mate went down that Otto Hummer road and it ended at a buliding where 5 police squad cars were sitting...! He said there were hills all over the place but not much else. Highland may be a deadend.

isn't there a police department at Highland? that would explain the squad cars.

The cars were just sitting there, at the end of Otto Hummer road, just a building with no sign. Hummer road only 100 feet long. He said he saw no kiddie park, unless it is by that circus training deal.He said the area is kinda slummy looking.

How about

Taking up a childs proclivities= Upper Afton

Afton is a ski place for kids? up

proclivities

well, the circus training - is for kids.

and there are circus's around the world. It's not cold in there - and every kid loves a good circus.

btw- "City of Saint Paul ordinance prohibits the possession or consumption of alcohol in all other City parks."

yeah yeah yeah ordinance shmordinance.

they have to catch us first :sillygrin:

City of Saint Paul ordinance prohibits the possession or consumption of alcohol in all other City parks."

such as, the ones other than where we are?

I got that off the Highland Park website.

Does anyone think that there is a annagram in the last clue somewhere?

Hi LL! Nice to see you.

And Vino- Wow on the noodles... you're given me some great thinks.

glad to help slim!

That's how I spend most of my time on the clues, annagrammin. I haven't found anything yet.

welcome back slim :smile:

What's an asshat?

I just got back from Highland. Saw about 7 different people out there looking.

Here you go scribe

It seems kinds funny that smarter and wise are in the same clue? maybe a school ref.

The last 2 years they told us what the puck was hidden in and which park in the first 2 clues. Are we missing the Park? should it be obvious.

Ah ha!

Okay, I think I have my park.

Later gators. :wink:

I cannot seem to focus on work!!!

Thats very common for swedish names.

I have Hans whos is son of Hans Hanson etc in my family tree. It goes on for 5 generations or so. I think I even have some pears, pearsons, peters,petersons and carl and carlson.

whoa dude, christmas much be a disaster.on the bank account.

All those squad cars parked by that building were there because it's a police station. :smile:

I just got back from checking out the booya building at HP, nothing spoke to me. However, there are some really evil places to have a throng of people on clue 12 night.

I am still on the anagrams. I think there is something in this clue.

Clue three for '04 was an anagram.

"up a child's proclivities" is leading me to "visit a circus"... I just am having trouble with extra letters (again). I'll keep tryin!

what's the no. for comcast

651-222-3333 no longer in service.

1-800-COMCAST

:eyeroll: comcastic :eyeroll:

heh - 1800 - pay for it in your bill later instead of not at all now.

:grin:

Hey Tim.. good noodle... I was going to add to this. .and I'm sorry if anyone already has said this, but kids like to play in the dirt/sand as in a sandbox, look for the prize by looking in the sand/dirt maybe? I dunno...

There is no 'u' in child's proclivities. :frown:

how long do u all stay at the gw?i got an invite to the wild game so i may be late

Visit a Circus.. that would make me happy.

I like Highland.

Hate to say it - but Como would fit for child's proclivities too - what is better to a kid than a day at the park, at the zoo, and all the other stuff in Como. Heck, I could spend days there!

I HAVE spent days there.

Ian - is your avatar what I think it is?

I meant non-hunting, just being a kid.. LOL.

cono would fit big time!

There is no 'u' in child's proclivities

the u is in up

yeah, Ares, it does, it does. And my gut says Como. But my mind wants to think Highland at least until clue 6.

A dead Jim for Ian?

cono always fits. dang.

Ian - is your avatar what I think it is?

Ask Uncle Muff, or Randy Rust.

KOP - probably about 10:30 to the paper - it gets earlier each night of the hunt.

my gut's said cono for about 2 weeks now. :smile:

yeah mine too - but if I start thinking that way from clue one what fun is that? How much more history of Cono can one learn?

hahahahahahahahahahaha! I thought it looked like Jim Croce. Then I looked again! Hahahahahaha!

Man. I haven't seen the movie "Snatch" for awhile.

hey???
