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.

Rushmore

Good morning everyone!

Marley -Yep, it's the Camo Crew (I just realized while typing it that camo was short for Camouflage, it's all coming clearer to me now)

ah...duh, I say it right-I just typed it wrong--I grew up in Como Park and graduated from Como Sr and my in-laws live in Como Park now-so just used to it-oooops -- and I think your correct Rushmore, it is for Camoflauge

We could play six degrees of seperation. Everybody probably knows somebody who found the medallion if we connect by six other folks.

Maybe they were scared away by the thought police.

Or maybe I scared them away.

    If you think your smarter than me, you're not. If you think you're better than me, you're not. And if you think you're "The Greatest of All Time." You're wrong. Now I am reffered to as "The G.O.A.T." Baaaaaaaaaa.

    Just found out they want me to work a few more days next week until this project I'm working on is done. It will be cool to have the extra money but I was kind of looking forward to having the time for the hunt! Ah well, not much going on in the beginning anyway. Guess I just won't be doing any movie stuff during the day. I'll actually be looking forward to having some time off though as I haven't had more than an occasional 4 day weekend in over a year and a half.

    Allison - What could the movie crew want so early, not too many diggers until after mid-week next week, are you done by then? And how does the movie crew go around? Just random tpaing of people or do you have some say in it?

    Phillip Diskerud

    Allison that is too bad... however like you mentioned they don't give us much information in the first couple days of clues. Better to have the last half of the hunt off rather then the begining.

    Allison Wonderland

    Last year at the beginning they did a lot of interviewing about the hunt in general and what we thought of the clues that had come out so far. I suppose they might have enough of that from me already though so maybe it doesn't matter quite so much. Once the digging began, they had a cell phone number they were advertising here and elsewhere. If you were going out somewhere and wanted them to try and catch up with you, you'd just call the number and let them know where you'd be and when. And then once it got farther into the hunt, I think they just started following the crowds.

    How long do you think the crew will stay on the hunt this year, do they have close to enough material or will they stay for the duration? Does everyone, outside of the people listed on the film's website, have the same chance of being on film. Also, who is releasing it and do you know when it will be out?

    Sorry for the questions, I just think this was a great idea for a movie/documentary and would like to know as much as i can, maybe catch a glimpse of people I know or will meet. Maybe even myself ;-)

    One more thing, all I need to do, in order to have my button registed officialy is mail in the postcard attachment with the button, right? Are any other forms like that needed?

    "How long do you think the crew will stay on the hunt this year, do they have close to enough material or will they stay for the duration?"

    I believe they plan on being here from the pre-dig gig through to the rehash bash. At least that was my impression, but at the very least they will be around until it's found.

    "Does everyone, outside of the people listed on the film's website, have the same chance of being on film."

    Hard to say since I'm not making it. Originally they went through the Cooler Crew posts from 99 and 00 and decided which posters they found interesting and wanted to include in the movie. But then there were others who made it in as well who were not contacted before hand such as the Camo Crew (being that they rarely if ever post). I guess it might depend on how interesting you strike them as being. Some people around here are real characters ;-)

    "Also, who is releasing it and do you know when it will be out?"

    That hasn't really been decided yet but they seem to have high hopes it will be someone along the lines of HBO. As for when, I'd guess at least a year since it's a small private film company and they have other things to work on as well.

    As for registering your button, yes, just mailing in the card should be enough.

    The only thing I've heard about Devil's Den being the key is from Jesus Christ!, so I wouldn't get too focused on that.

    How does Devil's Den help out on locating the medallion? Does it help one to noodle the clues better while standing in it? Is there a mystical oracle there to help us with finding the medallion? I just don't see how it is important.

    I heard it's right by Frog Pond, hehe

    Tue, 01/15/2002 - 6:30 PM Permalink
    ThoseMedallingKids

    It's not near the Frog Pond. It's near the Devil's Living Room, just around the corner from the Devil's Kitchen. No, actually I think it's in a park. Cherokee I think, although I could be wrong.

    Good Evening!

    The streets in St. Paul now are nicely plowed so we can get our hunting selves to the park without incident.

    The key is keep an open mind, check out your maps and tools, know your parks, and most important - stay cooler!
