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.

Teddy- Marley...nice idea...but what does it help? seems like you've included everything :)

Are you talking about the site or the list?

Marley: the idea I like the site

I can picture the intersection, but think of the surroundings, SPA one way, St Patricks guild/old Bridgeman's. What direction from Snelling and Randolph, I can't picture it's size at all. Sorry to pest, able to make it any clearer?

I guess the reason I ask is because the lack of a park in the hunter's guide is a hider's best bet!

Thanks, I'll be changing the pictures each day, to show what parks people are thinking about, digging at, and what they look like. When its over I'll be able to put together a collage of sort.

I think its in a brick...thats just my theory :)...thats just so no one can find it and then they will double the prize for my return next year

LOL - They give it to charity if no one finds it, but I don't think its ever happened. Maybe this is the year!

I am the charity...the unfortunate soul who missed the hunt. That probablt sound horrible...but what can ya do

Invest it in tickets to fly back for next years hunt! Don't sound that bad then

Marley, I guess I don't recognize it. I went to Highland high, familiar with area, need to drive by. Any park not in the book, and one that would be seen as impossible for it to be hidden at is my line of thinking this year. I don't know, let's just hope 3 helps, and isn't a tease! Night all.

I'll be getting the clue tomorrow night in Rochester. Might be back to st. paul tues night, but depends on the clues.

Well, I hope clue 3 gives us more to work with. The first two seam deceptively simple.

Mon, 01/21/2002 - 3:23 AM Permalink
TeddyKGB3

Marley...very true, but who knows what they REALLY mean, we could be way of or right on the money. Wait till clue 4 or 5 before you start ruling stuff out

Good Morning!

Got up just long enough to see the clue and let it sink in for a bit. Slept terribly after that though - so don't know if that's the thing to do again, might be better just to stay up.

I agree that these first 2 clues are so extremely simplistic - there may be some meaning(s) to them, but it might take clue 5 for them to make sense.

Battle Creek seems like a good possibility to me, but I wouldn't say it's the only one...but it definitely *does* have a few things going for it. I will get a little more in depth into my ideas about it tonight, but right now I've got to get ready for work.

Happy Noodling!!

You must be a good volley ball player. Nice set-up, Ares. Thanks.

I could. But then would prolly be responsible for some dimbulb drinker thinking he's missed a whole year, not just a couple days, in a black out.

Hello every one,I finally got thru the firewall on this site. Somebody must have warned them about me. No wonder there's few people here. Anywhoo Green, Great job on the bash, somehow I think you thrive on that kind of stuff. Get a fresh cupajoe and shake in a new perspective.

(deep sigh)

Man, I can tell ittiz gonna one o'THOSE days already. Jesus.

Yup. New prespective is just what I need. Like the Carribbean, where the hardest thing I have to noodle is what seafood I want for lunch.

destiny's hunt

Hello everyone! Day 2 of the hunt! So....does anyone know where it is yet? All I got from the first two clues was that:

1. St. Paul park (dah!) 2. Possibly a park with sparks --fireworks, close to police station, etc 3. A park with hills and lots of walking.

Anyone want to add anything??

By the way, today is Allisonwondrland's Birthday!!! So, wish him a Happy Bday when you get the chance!!!

Michelle aka my1destiny aka Destiny's Hunt !!! :D
