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.

cs...yea, but the other clue leadings support highland better than hidden falls...at least to this brain...

Not until the next clue Jiggs......we all have our favorites and lists at this point but they may all change after the next clue.

I think I am gonna rest my eyes til 10:30 then head downtown to get the paper.

Was out at Highland today, saw some interesting things, but nothing I could really use.

Wolffpac,I will indeed if I'm convinced this year it's there! So far......I'm convinced of about three lines of thinking......It was fun to go take a first shot at Palace though...and a darn good theory for three clues!LOL!:)

What happened to the other parks - Could you'all make your cases for Highland, Hidden Falls and Battle Creek? They all would work because....well... right now my front yard would work. Does anyone have anything other than hunches?

FINALLY!!!!!! I hope this works. I've been trying to post for over a year now. I figured out that it's our stinking old computer. My husband brought his lap-top home and WOW it works. I'll leave everyone a quick message and then I'm going back out to dig. This afternoon I was at Phalen (wrong). I don't think it's there any longer. However, the sand was so easy to dig in. It isn't frozen at all. That would have been a great hiding place. Then it was off to Battle Creek, Highland, and Cherokee. I'm stumped. I think I need another clue. Does anyone think that Tide could be the Tide soap? I'm probably hung up on soap, huh! I'll try posting again, but if you don't hear from me, it's not because I'm not with you in spirit. I read all of your postings. Keep up the great work! This is from the crazy lady from Como, last year. Two in a row, is my mission and goal!!!!!!!!

think the sacred ground argument is good for ruling out indian mounds though it was my first choice..hasn't been used since '87 so there's probably a PC reason for that.

the only "more than a hunch thought" is the word trek meaning cross country skiing ta battle creek. Just so happens the the few weekends it is open to the public is this weekend.
