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.

King Boreas aka Ian

...and there are two new St. Paul area caches going up later tonight.

Thanks TV I keep telling them that there are more interesting people that they could talk to. I just trying to get my foot in the door at the PP. Maybe next year I'll get to be a spotter. And if I do a good job with that, by 2004 I'll get to be the guy who moves the med from Phalen just before Green is going to find it.

    Ian - We use those GPS readers at work. We've learned the trick to accurate readings is keeping them warm. Once they get cold, the accuracy goes out the window.

    sorry. ares isn't catholic. won't ever be catholic, and in general avoids all things catholic. other than that, the cathedral is a very beautiful building.

    You are correct. I don't know why that appears at different times.

    Before we were interrupted by the small change here, I mentioned we saw someone out on the Phalen golf course with a snowblower, blowing snow.

    Anyone have a clue why someone would be doing that? He didn't look like a hunter type.

    Hey! That reminds me! anyone got Downtown Daves e-mail they can send me?

    I won't abuse it I promise.....just gotta let him know that the robin has laid some blue eggs on the fourth clue is all.

    makes sense. i'm ok with it being there. i run my mail server, and can do a good job turning away any mail i don't like. or turning it over to the ag's office :)

    Ter,I don't know,unless it's part of general maintenance? Maybe the golf course is sponsoring something silly like snow golf for the Winter Carnival?

    One things for sure,it has nothin to do with the hunt...can't touch those!

    ares

    on the golf course???? with a snowblower!?!?!?! the only thing i can think of is that he was taking a bad trip.

    The grounds crew might be clearing off the greens to prevent winter kill.

    Thats what I meant Wolf!LOL! Somethin like that! I'm no golfer!

    ok. that'd be a reasonable explanation.

    It was a weird site. Thanks for your help in solving that for this clueless one.

    Could he have blowing snow onto the cross country ski track? last year they had races there.

    ares

    maybe, wolf. but it seems logical. so it's what we'll go with till something better comes along :)

    Mon, 01/21/2002 - 7:05 PM Permalink
    Terry

    Hard to tell where he was blowing it from or to...just odd to see that in the middle of a golf course.

    Well Duh! Gee Ter it's hard to see your ball with all that snow!:)

    I live around Phalen, and my associate Violent J lives just a few blocks from there... Maybe I'll have him go investigate.

    probably, wolf. along with pennies and the other guy after pennies, um, left us.

    Terry

    Now picture this....

    You're the man doing the snow blowing, minding your own business, and along comes a couple of clowns to check you out.

    Only in Minnesota...and only during the hunt. When would anyone else care?

    Scribe

    Not sure Wolf,but they certainly know each other.....probably the same old morons we get evry year...

    I was really hoping they'd have the guts to show up at the pre-dig gig.

    The morons never do show up at those things.

    we'll sneak up on him and jump out from behind a tree and scare the crap outa him.

    Everyone was so worried that Joe Medallion would show up at the first Rehash Bash at Cherokee. It didn't happen. No one that moronic would show their face. It takes their anonymous persona away to meet face to face.

    my guess is tinoghts clue leads us towards water, or at least away from it, or maybe have something to do with height
