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.

Same with my wife. I seen a comericial last night for some spray called Snore Away or something like that. I guess it numbs the back of the throat similar to Chloraseptic. I had some next to my bed last night but couldn't get up the nerve to spray it into her thunder cave. Maybe one more sleepless night and I'll get up the let her rip.

My hubby finally had the apnea test and got the C-pap. It was a little weird at first, but it works great now.

It is an air compressor and mask that you wear when you sleep. It prevents you from snoring by blowing air up your nose at a rate set by a doctor so it is just enough to keep you breating evenly while opening your throat.

I keep trying to get me lady in to get the test but she refuses to think she snores that bad even after I show her video tapes. I find the best cure is a 12PK of Icehouse...For me that is.

Later Lee

I guess even if you don't find the med you can take the published clues to cub for a chance at a $500.00 or $300.00 gift card, i'll take either one of those too!

Well, it seems as though Harriet Island is gonna be one of those Parks where the clues could fit every year. I hate that type of park.

Thanks Terry. My biggest concern is that they may take too long to download for some people.

Now that I've gotten an even better camera, I may just reshoot all of the originals from two years ago. If your nostalgic, you may want to print the images that are currently there.

Perhaps next year, there'll be a new edition with a whole new set of photo spots on each map. Stay tuned.

There are many parks that seem to fit lots of clues every year. The trick is to figure out what would be obvious for a clue that isn't there for a particular park.

I don't know if I'm saying that right. Just remember, it's as important to think about what isn't being said in the clues as it is to think about what is being said.

An example would be water. If there is a big body of water (lake, river) and it's not in the clues, that probably isn't the right park - or at least not the right part of the park.

Steve - you have the fever! No doubt!!

I want an autographed copy of that new edition!

I think I have lost my book. I will need to buy a new one. You know, Steve was sure smart choosing us as a target group, because we lose are books every year.

LL - If you show up at the pre-dig gig, I'll bet that you'll be able to purchase one directly from the author - and he loves autographing them!

I have two autographed copies....the first one...and the one I bought last year cuz I couldn't find the first one....which I found sometime during the summer. I know I have at least one of them handy for this year. I ran into that one just last night.

I actually have a special spot for all that stuff too...except that it gets tore apart every year during the hunt and then afterwards I'm too sleep deprived to put it back correctly until later.

I prefer the term obsessed.

Whatever the term, it's obvious we have it. Two whole weeks before the first clue and here we are noodling already.
