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.

It won't be long before these evenings on the computer are nothing more than a way to pass the time until midnight.

IAN! Where *were* you last year?

Ittiz this feeling, like butterflies in your tummy? But in your bottom!

But (no pun intended...), ittiz not butterfly-y, but *sparkly*!!!

Those that get sparklies in their butt know xactly what I'm talking about... I think either Eags or Mom's one. Don't think Ter is; and I think Kids gets them... Maybee not.

Anyway, those that get them understand what I'm talking aboot. Those that don't get them... Well... "It's a strange thing Mystifying."

ANNUDDER ONE FOR EAGS!

King Boreas aka Ian

not really. I had it, but sold it because I thought it wasn't an official button. The year is a little obscure. Or my eyes were ....?

The Zodiac Hunter, 2002

Aries-- "The Medallion's probably around here somewhere. Now pass me another beer. So anyway, this one time, while digging for the treasure..."

Taurus-- "I think we can get this softball field completely shoveled by morning."

Gemini-- "Well, I'm not going to claim I know which park it's in for sure, but I know it's not in *that* one."

Cancer-- "Honey, is it time to go home yet?"

Leo-- "Ok, let's go dig over here. You start there and you start here, and you hold the light."

Virgo-- "No, you have to first dig a circle out and make sure it's not there, then you pick another spot two feet away and pile the snow from that circle into the first circle...."

Libra-- "John seems to think it's Highland and I can see that. But Jim seems to think it's in Phalen, which makes sense too. What do you think?"

Scorpio-- "So cutie, you've been doing this treasure hunt thing long?"

Sagittarius-- "I started out in Como and dug there for a while. Then I thought I'd try Marydale. Then I heard a lot of people were at Hidden Creek so I swung by there."

Capricorn-- "Wow, you know what I could do with $10,000?"

Aquarius-- "You might want to consider digging in this park. If you read the clues this way, it all makes sense. Just trying to help."

Pisces-- "I have sparkies in my butt!"
