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.

There will be a snowstorm on the 22nd-23rd.

    The hard drive on the comp in my room just fried. So, I may get a replacement tomarrow. Anyway, I skipped like 150 posts, so if anything cool happened tell me please.

    Well, it worked for mine anyway so I guess lucky me :) I'm also working on applying for jobs. The way HR departments work these days I don't think I have to worry about starting a job before the hunt ends.

    Allison post 3941 Reusing Como so soon suggests they may have limited option,

    TMK post 3948 Perhaps they had it at Como because of the 50th anniversary? In line with celebrating the history, have it at a historical and well-known park?

    I think another reason they used Como last year was to get more people familiar with the "Target Winter Carnival Park" , the other attractions and events they hold there.

    If we find out the clue writers Astrological sign, we can figure out if they're linear or non-linear thinkers etc.., I bet we can figure out which parks they're more likely to pick! :)

    Good Morning Crew!

    In one week and some few hours the first clue will be upon us.

    Here's a partial checklist of things to prepare:

    1. Buy Winter Carnival Button

    2. Get button registered before the 1-20-02 deadline

    3. Gather winter hunting clothing...long johns, socks, boots, hats, mittens, jackets, snow pants, whatever

    4. Gather hunting implements...rakes, shovels, plastic sniffing dogs, whatever

    5. Night time diggers gather lighting needs...flashlights, lanterns, whatever

    6. Gather all your noodling helps....maps, websites, dictionaries, whatever

    7. Perform routine maintenance on your putter to allow for optimum performance during the hunt...scan disk, defrag, whatever...(you know you won't take the time once the hunt begins. :-)

    8. Perform routine maintenance on your vehicle to allow for optimum performance during the hunt...oil change, tune up, etc., etc., whatever

    9. Purchase sufficient quantities of quick fix meal grocery things and eat on the run items...or simply be sure you have sufficient money on hand to eat out.
