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 Sethmon think about the days of hunters and gatherers with a Russian twist and maybe you can figure it out?

if you "trip" over the goods, you FALL, right?

I thought a hunter's pride would be the kill or even it's dog?

One definition of pride is: the best part of a group, nation, ect.

look at pg 42 !! there is a wooded area and then a steep hill behind the library

Or perhaps due to the little amount of snow on the ground, it is hidden inside of a log, which someone could easily trip over.Yeah,yeah, I like that idea. They have hidden it in logs before. Perfect year to do it again with the lack of sure snow

Let me check the phone book. Nothing is coming to mind here.

BTW - It was Cherokee '98 in clue #2 that mentioned high ground.

ME2, there is hardly a wooded area!

what about Cherokee? There is that big cluster of woods next to the hill. That is all on the south side of the park, so stay away from that area to find the medallion?

if time and tide, fun and slide doesn't mean Highland - what else can it mean?

I am trying to noodle some stuff.

Conrad, I'm starting not to like your insight. You are too smart and thus with every insight you give, self-doubt creeps in. That is an EXCELLENT thought...Hmmmmmmm. Ok timeout, time to gameplan again. Gee thanks Conrad :)

time and tide, fun and slide means something. tide has to, there is no other reason to put it there.

Does anyone know exactly how many parks have chess boards in their picnic tables? I recall walking up a large hill only to find those, and I want to say Merriam, but cannot recall. It was actually the last year it was at Cherokee, but not sure which park? Ring a bell anyone?

Has anyone thought of the first clue saying something about lighting a spark or something like that meaning anything about the Torchlight parade??

This clue is a street folks, not a park- it's too early ---they blew it year before last- they wont do it again

It may be high land - but not Highland Park.

Knowing Highland fairly well, there's no place down the hill to be FAR from the woods.
