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.

I, personally, CANNOT stand the food at McGovern's. But I think I'm the only one that doesn't. Everybuddy else really likes it.

Tho Ter prays every year they'll add Wild Rice Soup to the menu...

2K2, you know who Maureen is, don't you?

If she and/or Steve show up Fri or at The Re-Hash Bash (even MORE fun than The Pre-Dig Gig as ittiz a pot-luck pin-a-nic, BooBoo!) she can tell you how terrified she was when she and Steve found The Med at Chair-O-Key and she sat in the truck with the door locked and just cowered!

Thanks, Scribe! Already got one outfit at the GW here in town...

But I need new liners for the Sorels... My liners are only two years old, but just didn't keep my feet warm last year. I wonder if warshing them did that...?

So, I want new, fluffy ones...

Hunting places for gear: Fleet Farm was a wide variety of items - not too expensive, warm gear - sales happening at all Sport Marts, Cabellas - stores around the TC. All I can think of off the top of my head.

is it one of those situations where you don't know how you'd react until it's actually happened, maureen?

Maureen, I was talking to Steve not 15 minutes before you two found the medallion. What the kicker was, I was digging in that area the entire week and obviously didn't find it. Met you two on Monday during the lunch hour when me and a guy from my office quickly went out to check out a few ideas.

We were digging all over that park. Steve and I were having alot of fun with everyone digging. I remember making the sidewalks nice and clear for the passer byes. Just doing our park clean-up for the year. Bumped into the Sister's who found it a while back and they wished us Good Luck. They thought we really needed it!

The police towed my car for being in an emergency snow lane or something like that? Was it really a snow emergency last night? I don't consider 1 inch of snow a reason to declare a snow emergency. And how am I suppose to know all these dumb rules when I'm just a country hick? Now that's over $125 out of my pocket and now I need to get a job instead of just looking for the medallion for a couple weeks.

Thank You all for the info.. That would be very cool Mauren.. I need someone to do that for me. :-)

I think I'm gonna make it on Saturday. I was supposed to be in Saint Cloud at a youth scholarship tournament, but Kris said his college teammates are demanding that he go to Milwaukee with them. So if Kollin decides to skip Saint Cloud, I'll be able to make it.

...unless Minneapolitans aren't welcome !
