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.

Hey..after slogging through todays posts, I have a couple of comments to make.

Scribe - I love the emphasis on Burns and Belvedere. Keep the humor coming.

Me2 and Allison - how could you fail on a hunter's natural instinct to register on time? Me2...the Winter Carnival Foundation will not accept the cards without a postmark.

Because I'm the nice guy that you all know me to be, I promise to let you use my button registration to claim the prize should you find it.

I guess I would say McGovern's may actually be close to being as good as it gets unless you want to start charging people a "cover charge". Of course it would be sort of cool if we could rent a hall or something and have more of a formal party all to ourselves, but that would be hard to arrange I think.

Hi everyone. It was great to meet some of you lastnight. I read the Charles Schultz idea and just wanted to remind everyone that the ice arena at Highland is named after him.

Thanks Steve. I'm kind of hoping though that they don't pay attention to the postmarks on the cards they get Monday and Tuesday and just enter them into a database and trash the cards. :-)

The sad thing is that since most everyone else digging with me this year is a first time digger, I don't think any of them registered buttons either. I guess i won't worry too much though unless I actually find it.

New Daddy, I had gone through the clues since 1990 and coded them, but someone else had gone through with a rundown of the 6-11 clues and posted them. They did something similar to mine, so I just didn't do much more with it

If you want to dig up Linwood Scribe, take Me2 with you. She knos all about that park now ;-)

me2

maybe this will help you find it at Linwood-

It has 16 acres of land, aquired in 1909, it is on a bluff (duh), and was named for the basswood tree, American linden.

did that help any? :) Good Luck :)

Ha Ha Ha Wouldn't you be suprised if it was there this year.

See, now if Linwood is 16 acres, then the Capitol Mall can certainly be 36.
