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.

Phil...if I can unload the remaining copies I have this year, then a new one will be out for the next hunt.

Those kudos must be the treasure that he's found. :-)

Well deserved too!

The last four years. I hunted in the early 90's and then was living in Duluth for about 5 years.

I love Duluth! What took you there and brought you back? School?

My husband's job. We loved it too! If I am not responding it is because I am trying to figure this thing out!!

Well it is time to hit the bed so that I can wake back up at 11:30 or so for the next clue... and then go hunting all day tomorrow/or noodle over the clue... :-)

Where can one get a Carmel Latte?

So do you think it will be a small park? I think it might be or else a park in WEst St Paul.

I had to go to Aiport Post Office to get a button receipt postmarked (deadline is today)--their were several others in line holding their postcards, and the nice lady behind the counter said it had been a steady business, as that is the only branch open on Sunday.

Apparently, the procrastinators are joining the fun!

Not West St. Paul, Carmel. St. Paul.

I know but I have to show my g.f. the parks.. it is her first year and she wanted to go hunt today... So to please her....

I'll get it right yet--

Maybe the west side - but not West St. Paul. West St. Paul is not only not in the city, but not in Ramsey County. The west side/the county line/ (line of double division) is at Annapolis.

Do you mean Far West of St. Paul

Ian--Mabye at a Carmel Lite convent? Reach for the joke, I always say.

carmellatte

I mean the part of St Paul that is by Highland Park

Sun, 01/20/2002 - 8:31 PM Permalink
Terry

Highland park certainly has come up in discussion here. Hard to tell just where yet. One clue is not enough to go on.

Terry--If I have to limit myself to the facts, how can I engage in reckless speculation? I have a repututation to uphold you know.

Reckless speculation is all we have right now!

Too late, I already put my card in the mailbox and I don't have the money to buy another button.

Hmmm, maybe I had better buckle my seat belt.

So 300 Guides? Too bad you can't sell them the same place they sell the buttons. I bet they'd go fast then.

Maybe I'll just go with the lowest bidder! hehe

a no fear shirt contains the puck, but thats about it.

StepDogg

yeah...I read the posts before, but 1st clues don't usually tell us anything of importance, so I don't know for sure.

I mean it could be, but a t-shirt would be a bit easy to just stumble across.

Evenin', 'Heads!!!

Last nite was the best Pre-Dig Gig yet! I think I say that every year! Well, they just get better and better. Ittiz just so NEAT to see us all gather every year... And new folks join in.

New folks posting here, too! COOLER!!!

King of The Cold... I *did* recieve my 'special delivery' and was very disappointed that I could not thank you personally for it. You are a good an honest man, and live up to your bets. Thank you very much, it was VERY DELICIOUS!!!

Got a lead on a place that has WC buttons... You've prolly already checked there, but I'm gonna still. I've decided there's one vintage WC button I yust gotta have!

Ares... You amaze me. I got the "No Fear" about... Oh, 8:00 AM today. Didn't think anybody else would noodle that.

And it was Underdog with the "Have no fear! Underdog is here!" Not Superman...
