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.

What a nice restful night! I got to sleep at 10:00, and it didn't even concern me that a new clue was an hour and a half away. This is step one in the 12 step program I'm going to write about.

Step 12 is to just walk into the park on the 12th day and pick it up ala Aaron Niedorf.

Well, I'm probably failing each minute more I stay on the board. Addictions are hard to rid. Maybe I better move out of the state?

THG the real question is....isn't most of BC woods??? So what would the furthest point be from the woods....that is if we are talking the BC that is in st. paul and not in maplewood!!

According to my clue by clue analysis since 1994, Clues 1-3 have only revealed that it's hidden in a St. Paul park, general landmarks (ie woods, pond, river), and what it's hidden in (ie, bandana, Skoal tin). Never streets or the park name.

Well Now dont I look stupid LOL your right podwerhorn ist in St.Paul Its early guys forgive me on that one Please???

The maplewood portion would be the Brow knitting high portion away from the hills.....BC is like 864 acres

Five of nine times (since '94), Clues 1-3 have hinted at the object it's hidden in. I think "knitted brow" means the med's in a knitted hat or headband, and nothing more.

You're probably right Dalliance.

Guide,

I hate to admit it, but I left my guide at home this morning. Do you think the twice-mentioned word "time" refers to a landmark like a sundial or clock? I know the med's not at Harriet, but there's a sundial there. Can you recall if there's a sundial or big clock at another park?

Okay, I am on a crappy computer at this school, it is killing my eyes, so I can't go back and slog right now. I was wondering what everyone's thoughts/beliefs/speculations are now that clue three came out. Thank you.

Battle creek is a St. paul park, so if the coin is at the aquatic part of BC(maplewood) technical that is still a St. Paul Park!

Tue, 01/22/2002 - 9:10 AM Permalink
Randahl

My take....the clues on the surface to me say como...but why?? are they messing with us???....I have a feeling for Battle creek based on a few things but I am trying to jones a street name or two right now...

Good morning all,

I am still with Battle creek park. Confirmed that there is a aquatic center over there (tide), hills, and woods definitely. Sledding hill(slide), and tons of trails for walking. I liked rust's link to upper and lower afton. I think it works well with tide also.

Lots of things fit.

Anyone agree?

LOL - Thanks Green, I have no idea what that means. I hope you really aren't referring to Harry Caray.

Marly, BC's divided... Part's in the city of St. Paul and part's in the city of Maplewood. Clue 1 specifically stated a St. Paul park.

Would only be in the western part, the St. Paul part, o'BC.
