2006 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

It's a fun game. My parents had it when I was younger.

I thought I had this figured out...

HillCrest Rec Center

Clue #1

global warming = skylights /sundome

hockey rink = creates ice and snow from what gets shoveled off

small parking lot

Clue #2

just the nutgoodie wrapper

Clue #3

Rex = Rec's Center

Childs proclivities = playground

Clue #4

Hill = hillcrest ave.

glen = the area where Hillcrest splits apart

Ken = Kenneth street

Pitch = Baseball

Clue #5

Areobic = Inside rec center is the machines.

Aspen clinic = tree clinic phobia?

outing pay = outside the fence but in the park

research = library

redletter day = mobil gas station the "o" is red ..the rest is blue.

last nite clue....I was in shock that I was wrong....just in shock... :cool: :pbpt: :pbpt:

I know the clues can fit both HP and BC. But I like the fit for BC better except for the "pitch a tent, if that's your bent" That sooooo fits Highland better.

We'll be out tonight hunting for sure.... where I don't know. Probably BC.

I'm off work until next Thursday.. woo hoo :cool:

whim ( P ) Pronunciation Key (hwm, wm)

n.

A sudden or capricious idea; a fancy.

Arbitrary thought or impulse: governed by whim.

A vertical horse-powered drum used as a hoist in a mine.

I'm not buying its a pool....when I go on a whim...I'm wanting to go at 2 a.m.

plus my head is swimming in this clue.

snow and ice=water

suffice=works

waterworks

morning all. hoping to get off work early today so I can scope out bc

i'm thinking more outskirts of maplewood but ramsey county goodrich park nightowl wife

I don't like Battle Creek. I'll be golfing. :grin:

Need a caddie???

Sure, why not? :sillygrin:

well...

I'm now liking the "red" R for the county regional park markers/signs.

I like red shoes better.

Gonna take a shower and head out.

BTW, Kitchy, thats really more of a burgandy color. :smile: :smile: :smile:

and the vulcan's remind me of the redhat lady's

OOOOOOO, them's fighting words!

I'm in the same boat as Stallion, hoping I can duck out of work early and get down to BC.

kate button???

I work cheap, especially in the off season!

Ok forgive me if someone posted this, but all this time I've been thinking that highland has the golf course but BC doesn't. Well Battle Creek DOES have a golf course. It's only 2 years old. "Ponds of Battle Creek" And it is a county owned course and inmates from the workhouse on century do the groundskeeping. I know that the HP golf web page actually stated that it featured bent grass, but my husband said that bent grass is standard on nearly every course. So you could noodle pitch and bent as golf clues and still be at BC. whew

I thought you were sold on Battle Creek?

I need another clue!!!!

I want a good one!!!!

Guess I'll go drive around and look about..

noodle twice

dig once

Just got home....

7 hours split between first Battle Creek, and then Highland...had to give it up and head in, because my ride - get this - had to go to work!?!?

once again, no medallion...

But I got a Milli Vanilli CD at Battle Creek....

Also ran into some guy who claimed to be a teacher at the elementary school....

we dared to sniff around on the maplewood side, near the water-park too.... that place bothers me... it dont feel right...

Headed to Highland for the remaning 3 hours.....

saw a sleepy looking Map Guy, chilling in his car, soaking up the rays of this beautiful summer sun, thats out again today...

I like the area over by the police station, somewhat....

between the parking lot, and the woods, theres a hill that goes down to 7th, thats pretty accessible, and not too steep like most of the others, in the area.... It looked like a good spot.... dug around there for a while..

but something keeps bringing me back to the old pool area..... and the pump house area....

I need to re-energize with some breakfast....

I'm thinking a green doughnut sounds good, along with a can of diet rockstar.....

I'll be back out in a bit... except via public transportation this time...

sitting at home, just doesnt feel right...

pitch a tent..has me confused...

its over........call the line

what??

SHITTT!!!! BC.

It has me confused at BC, I like Highland better at this point...

I gotta say.... I think im just trying to make the clues fit at BC, and am doing a better/easier job doing it at Highland...

this sucks...

1030..in b.c.

Bock for for my fried egg sammyich. My toes izz froze and my shoes and socks soaked. But is it ever a beautiful day out there! Just gorgeous!

They're filling potholes on 94! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? In January. Wow.

This is a McDonald's kind'a Hunt! I'm loving it!

Ran into Chair-O-Key Steve. Was good to see him. He and Maureen were out yesterday and Maureen's expected to show up today.

Found the pitched tent, of steep pitch. Wasn't looking for it, but when I saw it, I almost cried. No mistaking it once you see it.

Gonna eat and do some pondering. I'm not seeing what I'm expecting to see regarding more of what The Med's hidden in.

can't be a cooler :frown:

why can't it be a cooler? We'd know by now?

get depressed when i hear it was found. i didn't get a good chance to dig. only went out once. :frown:

Congrats to the finder!

well..

its not me2, jake, tim, mucky,

but If its a cooler I'm sure we'd know...

POOP POOP POOP

10 bucks says the rain uncovered it and it was just sitting there

WTF?

Wow, just wow...

:angry:

Oh, no. This has to be a joke.

:frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown:

ahhh....

Okay.. good someone posted it...

I got an IM on AIM telling me it had been found, and then was promptly kicked off by our server..

I take back what I just said about Highland?

I love Battle Creek! :grin:

anybody else feel numb? :frown:

Very much so, Tim

numb isnt the word...

I'm just glad I didnt head back out just now, like I was going to do.

When are they going to learn not to hide it in January. This is Minnesota, it's the rainy season this time of year.

kicked in the tummy :frown:

Another rehash a week before scheduled...
