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.

How is everyone doing on this fine morning? It is sure wonderful to see the snow falling again. Not very heavy today however but it is nice to see a bit more ground cover...

Marley King- I was just looking at your web site, it looks good! I was wondering if you could tell me where Hillcrest is. I know it's at Hoyt Ave and German St, but compared to Phalen which way?

look at it this way phillip, if you get a dusting of snow every nite, eventually it all adds up to quite a bit of snow. until spring, when it all melts.

Is it east of Prosperity? Are all the parks you photoed on 1/12/02 from basically the same area?

Maybe that's why I can' find it! I live right down the street from Case & Duluth and thought I knew my neighborhood better. I was slogging through some of lastnights posts and thought I add there is construction at Phalen to. I think it should be done when the 'Phalen Corridor' is complete. That would a more idea year for the medallion to be hid there. (This may justbe my wishful thinking, really don't wan to dig up Phalen!)

You guys who have been at the pre-dig or the re-hash bashes, do people like 'pennies' usually show up at these things?

Snow Mommy, all the people I have met at the pre-dig-gig have been good people.

Snow, Nope,they don't have the balls to show up! However I'd personally love it if they did!!

Everyone that will show their face and come clean in honesty with their real name and screen name shows up.There is a possibility these morons show up but don't really converse with the rest of us or just plain flat out lie about who they are.Either way they show by their own actions they have no charachter whatsoever and personally will never have anything but complete disrespect as human beings from me.

Thanks THX. Seeing stuff like that on the board is rather annoying, I was thinking they need to find the "Mad at the World" board.

technically, scribe, there is at least one. and he's revered as a god for putting that book together. but he saw the light and moved to the right side of the river. :)

In the city of Minneapolis or a suburb of it?

Is the river the dividing line? Or is Ramsey county?

I knew a Mpls. individual and used to dig with her a while back....course she got into it by catching the fever from me and others...and she worked in St.Paul.

I was just curious if there are others influenced to dig although they are not party to St.Paul culture.

Family, my mom got into it from her parents and grandparents. Then my parents took me out to hunt. My first hunt memory is when I was seven wondering around an empty park looking under picnic tables and into garbage cans. After that my mom took me out for Hot Chocolate.

Oh. My Dad works for the railroad. No he said this is the first year he can remember them telling employees to be aware of people traffic around the tracks that have parks near them. They would NEVER hide it to close to the tracks, that's private property anyway. But I do think it shows how much attention the hunt gets now.
