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.

Snow mommy

After the 4th or 5th clue I have never checked out a park and not seen other people had been there digging which used to make me think I was on the right track. I have learned so much in the past coupe years!!

Whoa! Ares, can we postpone the "cat in a box" discussion until a late-night wait for a clue? I'm still trying to get my head around how one would get a cat into a box. My cats always had the ability to splay all their legs out at a 90 degree angle from their bodies, with all claws extended from that position.

Jake has been on, despite the spotters' attempts to corrupt his version of Windows ME. He has it fixed and is back running again. Reports are that the spotters will target taking out either the tires on his car, or putting a horse's head in an old navy sock, stuffed inside a dove box. After that, they will resort to dragging him off I think.

LLady, in that Sample Discussion, there were also posts from Ian and Green, which did not mention THX. And, later in the discussion, someone pleads with sysop to remove the posts from the guy libeling THX. Why Mom keeps that discussion up for all to read is beyond me!

Ares (or anyone), is there a way to make my screen automatically refresh every 10 seconds or every time a new message is posted, or do I have to click on the refresh or recent buttons?

afternoon all

MD - If I am not mistaken the only way for it to refresh is for you to manually click on the number of the last post that you see and that updates you with whatever posts came thereafter.

Afternoon Tim
