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.

Mr. News is an ongoing problem. He seems to have been taken care of by now. However, when he pops up again(and he will) the best course of action is to ignore him. FWIW. Replying only encourages him.

Ladies, you must must must get a Treasure Hunter's Guide -- it has maps, landmarks, streets, everyone you want for all St. Paul parks.

Carver's Cave - p. 56- "on the western side of the park, the paths continue on towards the scenic overlook near Carver's Cave."

Baxter

I think your right...at this point Mounds is a good candidate...I like it a bit better than Merriam Park (which I also think is a good fit) just becasue of the proximity to the river...

Wasnt there a murder that happened in Crosby park a long time ago? I thought i heard that someplace. I could be wrong, and usually am. :(

what was the neil young song that started out with, "Hey hey, my my"

Baxter

Although the spark=burns idea I think is probably to early...a street has only been given in Clue #1 like one time in 1993 (at least back through 1980) and that was a really vague reference to a street not something that literal...so I don't think it definitly means Mounds...

Which parks are really close to the state fairgrounds?

Has anyone thought of possibly the clues pointing to a new park in the city? The neighborhood I live in St Paul is the Highwood Hills neighborhood (very SE corner of city). "Down the hill, far from the woods" may be pointing to exactly that (high wooded hills). Also, a new city park was opened at the corner of Burlington and Springside Aves, added onto Taylor Park. It was largely sponsered by the Cargill and its subsidiary North Star Steel, for which a sign at the park states. " In and on the air" could be mentioning the North Star.

Cuz, if you look at the clue, it says something about being fair, although i could just be way off
