2001 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

Nensea- The bridge links over from one side of the path to the other cuz there is a lil creek that passes threw. and to the left there is like a lil island that all these other bridges go to

I think it is on public land in Ramsey county

The Phalen bridge is dedicated to Karl Neid, city council member, considered East side, and St. PAul his town.

Crazy...I think that is far enough for all of the lurkers, you can do the names for your own benefit, Like I say I am going to look myelf and you can keep the light on for me and a cup of Coco. Nensea the link is most definately possible.

Reg- that sounds fermiliar. and there is a pic of him on the plack

Regalman...good trivia..

Huntergirl -

For some reason your June = Pool thought is bugging me. Does anyone know of this correlation from the last time it was hidden at Highland '94 or '86. I think I may revisit those clues quickly. (DejaVu)

Frost- Okkies ya can see my house right across the lake=) LOL

Did anyone think that perhaps the "a man of steel cannot be real But another has plenty of mettle" could refer to one of the steel barons? I don't know what this means for sure - but it hits home for some reason

Crazy, that lil creek links Round lake with phalen lake

ND -

With all of the CITY references, why are you expanding your search to the entire county???

yeah it hooks up with it down on the north end of the lake

Crazy...I am definately coming and thanks. As always I am 1 for 1 and I owe Regalman a tidbitso here it is from the office of Norm Colman (man of mettle!)

Me thinks we are getting warmer....

Is there a Frisbee golf course at highland. Is this the "circular thinking" reference? If you are golfing could you also be "linking"?

snow ball 2, How about 11? One and one have been mentioned twice now.

I hate this, love it, confused!!!!!!

It makes a lot of sense, como makes a lot of sense, hidden and valley both look good, but safety is an issue at both

Just think last year at this time it was allready found. I get so mad when it is found =( cuz I like to go dig even if Im way off just to meet people and have a blast LOL

The annual award for outstanding service is tempting, is anybody else here??

If it's at phalen or como, it is going to be a pain in th A__!!

Crazy, I think we all do!

Hi Brenda -

FD - There is a disc golf course @ HIghland. There is a tournement tomorrow @ noon. Everybody at all skill levels are welcome. And who knows, you might find the coin after a hole-in-one.

It will take forever to find! What fun!!!!!

Just what the cluewriter wants though

Ok all...back to work for me I will see you all this weekend, I hope. Crazy...anything that makes your house stick out to make it easy to find?

D B -

Thanks for the 11 clue. I should realize that this year is going to be impossible, and they are not going to GIVE us anything. Numbers are pretty easy to conciel.

THX

Frost- ummmm *thinks* No LOL Ill make a sign=)

Thanks for the info frostbite!!

Cluemaster! Why did you make this sor hard? LOL

It's time to get serious!

I drove around on my lunch break. Found a place that meets many of the clues. But I'm not sold on it yet.

I am sold on the East or West Side idea. That narrows it to a handful of large parks.

FYI -- the pavillion at Harriet Island was a WPA project, for those interested in that theory.

Cuz he got his a$$ reemed last year!!!

Circular thinking and off base makes me not trust any of the clues..

I'm off to dig, good luck to all remember to wear something white so I know your a member of the CC

And if you find 2 medallons share one with me

I am off everyone, Crazy...I will look for the sign..Anytime Regalman New Daddy I hope you are still working on theories that are a little 'off base'

Anyone know where green, terry, or allison are hunting presently??

See ya frost!

Frost...if you're still there..what do what??

anybody ever think there could be 2 treasures?

SueButt have you been lurking?

No No No...I just logged on and did a mini slog..

hi guys. i yust got back from como. ran into one of our resident vamp's there, night digger out across estabrook from the frog pond at the base of the slide, betwixt it and the maze. now, if only it weren't me who brought up the vamp reference for him :)

standing there, i'm pretty sure that if it is in that area, it's gonna be somewhere out of view of the carousel and the conservatory, a feat that might be difficult to accomplish.

thx, if you're still in da house, while the fairgrounds themselves aren't public land, the streets on them are, despite who owns the underlying land. since they're open to and used by the public, state law mandates that they remain so in perpetuity, unless legislation is passed relieving them of that obligation. i can probably find that statute on the legislature's web page if you'd like.

I am off work at 5:00 and will go searching then, maybe then I can meet some of you. I am off to Phalen. Look for the house sign....

C4T50 -

Two treasures is a steratch. That's $20K possibly, quite a jump from last year. JAT???

Bye Frostbite. Have fun working! I'm not.

ooh, yet another off base reference. there are shedloads of national guard folk working on the slide at como, and guess what? well, you're all smart enough to figure out where i'm going with this one.
