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.

Though I like the idea of the medallion in a small box of Tide-there's another possibility.

Inside the box of Tide-the 'medallion'has been replaced by a paperback copy of A TIME TO KILL.Usually a picture of the medallion is shown in the paper.I didn't see it this year.

The finder gets to keep the paperback too.

SSP and Snake- Do you know Paul LaBrosse or Mary Benjamin (LaBrosse)? My parents 69 and 70

Pride could also be Lion's family; woods could also be street names: ie: elm, ash, etc.

Thanks, leelabell...something tells me that will be important info to keep in mind as we get more clues.

Anybuddy know the author of "knit your brows"...I think Shakespeare said something about "knitting up the raveled sleeve of care" but I'm not sure where the "knit your brows" saying came from.

Thanks Randy. I was thinking more like the carnival bottun. That would be the hunter's pride. To show your carnival button? so button would be a clue.

Hello all...so I see, it seems to be at Highland Park...I was wondering if you all mean the Highland Park across from the Jr. and Sr. High schools or the one in Bloomington somewhere?

69:Forest St.goes north to Phalen,but I don't know if it goes all the way.

Not much about Phalen-but it has a golf course,where the 'woods' can be found.Just not in winter.

Just got back from scoping out BC and Highland. I can see where both have a lot of hills to climb up and down. But I didn't see a clear place where you stay "down the hill, far from the woods" except maybe at BC by the water slide.

MiNneSoDa, Battle creek has X country Ski trails as well. They are Mountain bike trails in the summer. TREK is a mountain Bike brand.

Aside from the golf course, I thought Highland Park was just a field across from the JR. and SR. High schools. Am I mistaken??
