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.

what do u guys think about the disk golf theory??? that could be a reason why they havn't mentioned the traditional "stay off the golf course" clue yet. hmmmmm.

I think it's Highland.. Although, Merriam sounds good tooooo..

Light a spark (#1)- could that be a firepit?

Carnival (#3)- could refer to that big green circus tent on the south side of montreal

Play and Tip (#4)- could both refer to frisbee golf. TIP is a type of shot (according to my boyfriend)

In the air (#4)- maybe the circus/and or golf?

I can't wait to leave work!

Has anyone had confirmation that there is definitely a NEW clue writer or is that an assumption? That could be huge!

"And you may trip over the goods"

Remove the "g" and the "s" from "goods," and invert = "doo". The med is hidden in doggie doo! And, no one is going to be desperate enough to poke through that until later clues. That's how the hunt will last a long time, even though the writer is giving up too much too fast.

Which parks have disk golf courses? I still think it references to a park with a disk course but not directly on the course. It is too dang early but some loser without a clue will end up stumbling on it by accident without any snow (my biggest fear)!!!!

Diggin' Queen

doesn't need to be on the disk course. just a reference to the park. there can't be too many courses in st. paul. HP is the only 1 I know of for sure. any1 else know of others?

DD- it's not at mounds, mark my words, the faster you get away from that the better for you.

Could be. Tip ball also is a golfing reference, which might be why they stated in the rules this year to keep off of golf courses.

when did they say to stay off gc's??

Iwas laughing at that when everyone ran from their cars and went to the hockey rinks and dug for a solid 2 hours and then NOTHING evry1 laying around tired after that. Way funny!!

I'd love it at conway again, it's very near my house. in fact, to all you HP and Crosby debunkers: I would rather not have it there, cause I'm in north st. Paul, way on the other side of town. But, I'm convinced it's at one or the other!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they didn't say it, that's the point.

they always seem to devote at least half a clue to it, and they haven't this year. hhmmmmmm. makes u think.

how about this...time and tide, fun and slide...put the two together and HILLcrest as in hillcres ave runs into highland

morning step. nice to see i'm not the only one who caught all the drug metaphors in the clues.

or tides roll up onto the beach as in beechwood...runs into highland

Wed, 01/23/2002 - 11:07 AM Permalink
Diggin' Queen

thx - yes. it's only in the rules, not the clues.

rr - time and tide, fun and slide means HIGH LAND = highland, either literally or as a reference for crosby, which is right between HP and the airport.
