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 only hope that I did the right thing in "throwing a pair of earmuffs away", if you catch my drift.

Speaking o'which - muffs - Target's got winter stuff on sale... A buck nintey for a pair o'white muffs.

Tink I R gonna have to get me some. This time, however, I will not give them to one more deserving than myself, but keep them and keep my ears warm!

To pair; double JOE!!!!

or be trained and learn to love it!

Good point tim. When I said we were all trained or single, I didn't mean that being trained was always bad. No sad single guy club member here. I graduated obedience school.

I'm single and don't want to be trained and I'd say I'm pretty happy. Of course it helps that I've been running a singles club for the last year and a half so that I actually can have a social life without needing a girlfriend.

White earmuffs? Think maybe PP is stocking up on a pair for hiding the medallion in this years hunt, or future hunts?

Good evening Terry and Allison and Green

Allison, what is the average age of the members of your singles club?

Wed, 01/16/2002 - 5:51 PM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

The group is aimed at the 25-35 age group though we have a few members on either side of that.

I'm actually getting a bunch of them involved this year to help with the treasure hunt. So far at least 8 of them have said they're going to come to McGovern's (which probably means 5 will show up! hehe)

They've gone down that road. Doubt they'd do it again.

But, if MomPress would only allow me to get my hands on The Med for like an hour, I could make a fortune!

"Buy a pair o'white muffs The Med was once hidden in! Only ten bucks!"

I could do with The Med like the way they run the flag up the national Capital flag pole...

Stuff The Med in muffs, remove; stuff The Med in muffs, remove; stuff The Med in muffs, remove....

That's cool, thanks, just a wondering.

I wonder if anyone ever has met their true love on the treasure hunt? Apparently that was the original premise of the movie that the film crew was going to make before they decided the real people involved in the hunt were even more interesting.

well, allison, there is the jt/scribe saga, though i'm not sure that was initiated through the hunt or the hunt was a result of being in the cooler.

I didn't. But in a farmer's market held in a parking lot. Gonna tie the knot in same parking lot. The entire City's [those that work at City Hall..] gonna turn out... They've never had anyone to ask to be married in a parking lot bee4...

I told them I'd never called them bee4!!! :D

It wasn't love, but I actually did meet the woman I started my singles club with through the treasure hunt. And she's still single if anyone is still looking, hehe. She even posts on here sometimes.

I didn't meet my true love during the hunt - but we've hunted together every year we've been together. It's a tradition...started with my Mom...continued with friends and now with Inks.

I think Scribe and THX did meet through the Cooler, but not specifically in regards to the hunt.

I actually thought - for about 2.5 seconds - o'getting you *another* pair o'white muffs, Ter...

However... The cool recption that greeted the last pair I gave you is still all too clear in my mind... LOL!

I think I'll just keep any white muffs, should I buy any...

That one pair you gave me was gray...not white. Though white ones would have been the same cooler reception. Smart alec!
