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.

Riv, I do believe you mean "in" - not "on" Forest Lake...

Don't, dear Riv, judge the rest o'The Crew by yours truly!!! They aren't near as bad!

Junk the fishing trip! Come ON!!! You KNOW The Pre-Dig Gig's way more importanter and funner...

Hi all, nice to see so many friends are back again this year.

Do you think they might hide it in an undeveloped part of a park this year(a wooded area with lots of underbrush and tall grass) because of little snow and recent short hunts. I was trying to figure out how they would extend this years hunt.

Green I am doing well, very excited for this years dig. I made an enclosed sled for the kids so I hopefully can hunt for longer periods of time. Glad to see your in fine noodleing form, I have a feeling this is the cooler crews year to find it!!!

Riv - It would be easier to hide it in the bush than to make up clever obtuse clues, but who knows...

FL's not that far from St. Paul...

Fish all day, party and get the first clue that evening.

We don't care if you smell like dead fish... LOL!!!

Before we got the snow, i was thinking the same thing, that it would be in some underbrush, in say a clump of weeds

One o'these years, New Daddy. One o'these years.

If I find it, I want to squish as many 'Heads on the parade float as the float will hold and still be able to move forward...

I think that would be ssssoooo Cooler! Like a group o'comic strip characters!

I just can't help it.

Even with the medication.

Ares- great minds noodle together.

The other way to extend the hunt is to hide it in something that is hard to find. like frozen in an ice chunk, frozen between leaves, or (god forbid) in a clump of sod again...

what other ways do you all think they could make it harder to find this year??

$10,000 if you have your button and clues.

$5,000 otherwise.

Anyone think about that RR sign, that is strange, to have the RR folks on the lookout.

My guess

Prosperity Park in the tall grass, in the south side across the street from the basketball court, hidden in a Harry Potter trading card box, in a line due south from a swing.

whats your guess??

green

Eh... I don't know. I don't think all that strange. I think the Cods are warned each year. "Hay, Boys! That time again!" Because usually they leave us alone and let us park where ever and never hassle anybuddy digging at 3:00 AM in a public park! Except for Conway, those BOZOS!

It would be nice to see something a little different like a park the size of Conway again....I predict I am out of my league sarcasm wise...maybe I will have to pop a Paxil or two!!

Well, guys I'll see you later, I have to make a quick run to prosperity park, be back in a lil while.

THere you go Randy, that's more like it!! I love the Jesse comment. I will be hunting outside his office at the capitol all hunt and at night I will be hunting in his front yard. I guess he doesn't like hunters too much.

It has not been at Highland in a long time... big park. Big parks would work best with no snow... more room to hind the blue puck!
