2002 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

Submitted by Casey Trauer on

Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.

Kids, that's got to be the BEST line ever:

"Nothing says "I love you mom" like her very own cow pooper scooper."

School o'hard knocks. Though, actually, I proficencied outta my first year o'college English (NOTE: I did NOT mention 'spelling...'), and was begged to be on the debate team.

Majored in agriculture, with a minor in horticulture... I liked to hort around... LOL!!! Bock *then*, you couldn't major in horticulture like you can now...

Wanna hear about hog/corn ratios?

No I am not a video game junkie but they would like to be, if I let them. But I will admitt to getting pretty into Diablo II.

TMK are you -out of your mind-?

Timmers, maybee I'll dig. Maybee I'll kick snow around. Maybee I'll AGAIN tell YOU you're diggin' in the wrong place. (Should'a listened to me, boy-o!!!!) Maybee I'll piss and moan about the cold some more.

Who knows?

You say all that Green. And still, Trent wonders if he should come out for this hunt? What is he thinking!?!

TMK I must have been wrong because who I though you were just signed off. (From my buddy list. I haven't updated it in a while.)

Heh, no Snowmommy. I don't think you would know who I am on AOL. I don't have this handle on there. I have a different one :)

Mommy, Kids is harmless. Certifiable. Yes.

But very harmless. He really is a love; nice guy. Works with kids daily... I note he didn't tell you that.

Yeah. Bring the kids, but Hubby's gotta come and watch them with Kids!!! LOL!!! You're gonna be mingling with The Cooler Crew!

(Kids will bee2, but will take time out to play with the kids...)

Green, whatever you are drinking, you better give me a sip off that bottle. We were in the West Picnic Are the whole time with you telling us wwe were wrong. If you had pointed to the exact spot where the medallion was, I would have gone to dig it out to prove you wrong, and would have won. Looks like you dropped the ball.

My 7 year old inspiring professional Hockey player has practice in the morning so I better get some sleep. He will be entering the draft in roughly 14 years, right after he learns how to be an astraunt. He is so cute!

Bullshit!!!

I told Steve... AFTER I came to the conclusion you guys were rite... (eating a wee bit o'crow here...) that you needed to go up on the hill. Just up and a titch over, to the rite (as you looked up the hill...) as that was the point that was in line with all the clues.

Dearest Steve just laughed at me. I said, "Well, if I were gonna dig, THAT'S where I'D do it." And then kept helping you guys by the fire pit.

Well... Help kick the snow around. HELL! I'm OLD! I can't lift subbles o'snow!

Tim? Isn't it past your bedtime? Don't you have to go to bed? You need your beauty sleep.

Green I am sure you said that, but the problem is is that if YOU were digging it would have been in a different park. And JAke and I also pointed at the general area on Monday night but were too pooped. It is all "what-ifs" right now. I have a decent chance to make it a "I did" this yearor in the future.

I was. But too friggin' lazy... And didn't want to leave you guys.

Still in all, as much as I feel... I tend to follow those that I think may know more than me. Silly me!

But...

Oh! I don't know. I knew it was rite; that it all fit, but I doubted myself.

I tend to listen to you guys telling me how silly I am too much, and not to myself and what fits...

OTAY!!! Granted! I was WAY OFF with the bus stops!!! I admit that!!! (blushing...) But when I realized that you guys were rite, I *then* should have listened to me and how everything lined up.

But I didn't. Laziness and fear of being made fun of even more.

Yeah. Dummit!!! You'd snot have made fun o'me had I dug where I thought you guys should have dug!

Oh, well. New Year! New Clues!!! New Fun Making!

Jake tells me he got the PP to open up the cooler last weekend and now look how many posts there have been. This is the first time I've been in and I'm already way behind. I hope I haven't missed much, but I've been trying to redo Harriet Island in time to put it out on the Guide's site. In your leisure, see if your brousers can handle the large panoramic photos F,G,H,I,and J in the "Harriet Island Photo Collection" page. I got a new camera and I'm thinking of doing the whole site like this.

STEVE!!!!!! Miss you! Glad you finally got here!!!

Jakey's got rocks in his head. I *think*....

Hay! Found my first THG, but now have lost my second copy... May have to buy a third????

Good to see you. (hugs)

Hi all - Green, Jake, Ian, TTH, TV, TMK, AIW?. I won't be able to make the pre-dig-gig this year because I'll be enjoying life in the frozen tundra of Ely MN that weekend. I hope you take some pix. I guess Trent and the crew will be there too. I'll need to meet with them later after I can get some Disc Golfers together for a shoot that was scheduled for that Sunday afternoon. I wonder if somebody might stumble across a job for Denny while looking for the Med this year :). See ya
