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.

LADY LOOT:My problem with Highland and most city parks is they don't really have what i would call 'woods',which is in the third clue.The original Battle Creek Park does however.

But that doesn't rule out Highland,Phalen or any park with a golf course,if the 'woods'are golf clubs rather than elements of a forest.If the prize is somewhere down the Highland hill,but away from the golf course-your points are well taken.

Right now to me the "Time and Tide" part is the the connection with High. High Time and High Tide. Highest point in St Paul.....Highlands old water tower.

BB:Not bad-unless "trip over" or "spark'mean something.I guess a clumsy oaf like me could trip over something while walking down the hill with the tower.

Is there a clock anywhere on any building-or is golf considered a time killer?

I think it is important, too, that the PP says "st.paul"; not Maplewood, etc. but st.paul; we need to listen to mother

Randy---I think "mother" really means it when she says "st.paul"; BC is only 1/2 in St. Paul, so I don't think it is there. Remember to Listen to Mother!

SSP- If I always listened to my mother, I'd be in trouble! Never acomplish anything!

In the past when the PP says something very direct about a clue, they meant what they said! SO I really think it is in a park that is "pure " St.Paul

The original Battle Creek park is an official city park-contrasted with a regional park.

And it still seems like the only park with any real woods-though some have been cut back in recent years.

Does anyone think the line "Show that carnival hunter's pride" has any signifcant? It seems odd.

Has anyone ruled out any downtown parks? I kind of like the idea of spark being fireworks (Kellogg) or the Torchlight parade by chance?
