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.

I like the longfellow st in Battle Creek. It just takes a little of a stretch to get there. I don't know where it is. I don't see it on any of my maps.

They won't hide it at Mounds anymore because it is a sacred burial ground......and they state in the rules that it won't be hidden at Harriet either.

jiggamatt

hey its mine, I agree with Battle creek a little more than the rest because "trek" meaning cross-country skiers

Tue, 01/22/2002 - 5:23 PM Permalink
CiCi

It is due to be at either Highland or Battle Creek.....are they officially located in St. Paul?

Battle creek just seems like as good a place as any to kill time until we get some more specific clues.

jiggamatt

Both are in St.paul, Is it true that there is a new clue writer? Does anyone know?

Tue, 01/22/2002 - 5:25 PM Permalink
LaDiDaDiDa Its…

Well thats five names now that have been hacked into, I hope this one doesnt. Anyways here is why I think it is highland.....

What does Time and Tide have in common? "High" High Time, High Tide. High Time is another way of saying high noon. Its where the sun is the highest point of the day. High tide is the highest water level. Which means what is the highest point in St Paul? The old Water Tower in Highland Park hidden in a knitted hat.

I didnt mean look for it there, Im just saying the highest point in st paul is the old water tower. And youd want to stay away from the sledding hill because that is on the golf course. It all makes sense...wouldnt you all agree?

Do any of the St. Paul Parks do outdoor Shakespeare festivals? That could be the "knit your brows" reference. Although if there is a Longfellow Street near BC, then I think BC is rising on my list of favorites.
