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.

Welcome, Swift Digger1. I say your statement would be very accurate for a beginner. I think the tool of choice for this year's hunt might be a rake. And, that just might help all of us with the bad backs. This time of year takes a toll on the back.

Thanks Ares!! Pawn the blame onto someone else.

Scribe, I am not encouraging him to be a lush, but rather to develop an appreciation of alcohol.

Jake- check your mail.

I dont know what you are thinking by that statement, But to me it just means that I am really fast when it comes to shoveling.

Mr.Swift,I was using a double meaning for your tagline.....you of course are meaning shoveling snow.The term is also used in shoveling other forms of matter that most men are good at!:)

Of course it does...

I am a little sad at the thought that I'm going to miss out of this initiation that goes on. I am a firm believer that one must see to actually understand the ritual. My suggestion is that Scribe goes first as "example" of how the process is done. Any others on that idea?

What's the rubber chicken, Scribe? I've never been here when there was a discussion of a rubber chicken. Must have only been at McGov's. Enlighten me, please.
