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.

Rob - Good noodling

CiCi - Oh, good noodling as well, and good use of available resources - I know what you meant, I was just curious as to why you had excluded it.

Ladi, we all gotta do what we feel to be best and proper.

Man, I cannot see MomPress putting The Puck in Battle Creek. The City of St. Paul is giving the international x-country ski race their full support, and that's almost a direct quote from the Web site I found last nite.

There is no way they're going to encourage folks digging up the ski paths.

Say Green: Even if I were to ace it from LV...or St. Paul for that matter, you know the odds of actually finding it are still ridiculous. But I like where the hunt is going...anticipating tonight's clue very much, don't don't expect to be certain until Saturday night.

An answer to a much earlier question....the traveling Shakespear in the park does perform yearly at HP

That's right Green, I forgot about that!! - well with all the snow melting as it is, our digging probably wouldn't matter much!

Now, I don't either. You know, with all of the activities/renovations they are really reducing the number of eligible/likely parks that it will be in.

It seems to fit into highland well, I just can't imagine that they would go there a sixth time.

Carl: I prefer the big shot on the stratosphere...not likely the Medallion is all the way up there...but it's worth a look!

Squeakers: Are you nuts??? they're giving up 11.5 points...did you see what the Eagles did to them earlier this season?

All this vegas searching is making me tired and thirsty...maybe I'll catch a plane and check out Hillcrest...seems more logical to me.
