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.

Phalen, Phalen, Phalen she called

We mixed coca and mocha, and she was appalled

Assistant Producer for the film was her gig,

But after all hunt she had still yet to dig.

like a plow they uncovered every inch of that place, their noses all red and hope in their face. they dug way up high and some down below, but not one could uncover that medallion in the snow!

I'd do a cut-and-paste of your poem LL to sum it all up, but you deserve the credit so I'll leave it up to you. Nice job! We could maybe add on to it through out the hunt.

Teaching Pre-School is what she did,

Except for when hunting for the medallion they hid,

She dug dug dug and with a little bit of luck,

She was screeching and crying with her hand on the puck.

Sloggin through the posts I spent much time

Trying to get the edge to make that coin mine

It was 3AM and most were sleeping

Except us hunters who were hard at peeping

the man with the paper was now in his car, all toasty and warm smoking a big cigar, but i heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight happy digging to all and to all a good night!

if anyone has a better idea for the last one add to it, its a little tacky

Heading to the press with my new found treasure

I couldn't think of a better pleasure

They heard me exclaim as I drove from the park

Maybe next year my friends as I left them in the dark

Tanks LL. I'm a late night digger so it might not fit as good for all hunters.

I didn't have one, no puter last year, I used to go to the library and watch what you guys were doing but never posted cuz they limit your time on the puter.

Hello all!

Nice poetry going on here. Such talent among the ranks.

Speaking of Greg Sax, I've had an email from him. He won't make it here for the hunt, but will be working on the website. He's got a bit more time this year. Sounds like he has a long commute everyday, but has the webpages saved to his laptop so can work on them back and forth to work.

I guess thats what you guys call an eaves dropper?

Lurker would be the right term. Makes one wonder how many other lurkers are out there, doesn't it?

Clue Master

I don't know his E-ad. I was wondering the same thing since my bro just gave me his old digital camera and I want to get some hunting pix put on his site. I'll check around again. I think if you just use "Greg Sax' as your first line, it will stand out in the Outline view.

I can tell you there are quite a few, I found out about this from another lady at the library.

I'm glad you found us at any rate LLady!

Cluemaster, I know Greg would love to have hunt pictures. Go to www.coolercrew.com. There's a couple links on that site to his email.

Anyone wanting it bad enough can find it anyways, so I wouldn't think it would be a problem.

Hello all- no more lurking for me- I finally am able to post. This is Treasure Girl (formerly known as Sugarlips). I met some of you at a pre dig gig a couple of years ago- hi Terry!!! This is our year- I am sure one of us will find it. Great poem Liquor Lady! Let the hunt begin.

Pretty soon we'll be having in-person gatherings to celebrate the changing of the cooler board

Terry

Now the cooler changing thing worries me more than just a little. Undoubtedly there's always glitches...and there's enough hosing up here during the heat of the hunt without some new glitches to get in the way.

Tim, if total belief and conviction helps find The Med, yes... This year ittiz yours!!! LOL!!!

Ter, have you done the switcheroo there at home yet? If so, did you run into any probs?

We've not really had *that* many probs here since '98... I'm trying not to think about the Cooler changing. It worries me, too, but can't do a thing about it... Why didn't they do this last June??? Or wait until March or something?????

Howdy, Kids!

You mean to broadband? Yup. We've switched. Really like it actually.

We also switched ISPs here up north. We're getting a much better connection...but DSL and broadband aren't available here yet.
