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.

LM, take a look at Steve's site, www.medallionhunt.com

Look at photos numbered 107 and 170. Is that the place? This is the scenic overlook that I see on the map.

Just a different thought on this last clue... "Hey, hey, you say" Could this be a reference to the "Sey Hey Kid", Willie Mays? Or maybe just a reference to a ball park with tip and fair referring to a foul tip in baseball and fair referring to a fair ball? Don't know if anyone has said this yet, but in and on the air, could that be a radio or T.V. tower. It's in the air and transmits signals on the air. Don't be too harsh, my first time contributing to the board! I usually have just lurked for a little while. Good Luck!

You might of been the first to bring up foul TIP though

Frost....That picture of 107 on that site was very close but go further up the hill from there or further towards the top part of the park if you know what I mean....you will hit an area where there is a semi circle over look with a plaque that tells you about the echo thing...but that picture is fairly close

Hi everyone.

"Hey, hey, you say" is also a line from a Dr. Seuss book. Not sure which one though.

MF, is it maybe "oh say can you say" ????

time and tide could do something with "the tide rolls in" and "time rolls by" ? what could it mean

runningchick

i'm confused - that's the title of that Seuss book, do you think there's a Seusism in it that ties into the hunt?

well since it seems most noodlers have taken off I probably should too..have fun everyone.

What about Tower Hill Park? It has the witch-cap looking top. There's a radio station up there (in air on air). Near the University (work the brain). There's woods. The Fairgrounds are up the road.

A thought on OK... OK, OK, isn't Oklahoma abbreviated OK? Could Oklahoma be a street name nearby, or a reference to the musical?

I just thought that the latest clue was a little Seuss-like. I'm not sure how it would work though. There isn't anything to do with Theodore Seuss Geisel in St. Paul, is there?

LM, according to the guide, picture 107 is taken standing in front of the overlook. If we could pan 180 degrees, we'd be looking at it.

i've also been noodling about the crane/construction on the BCA you can see from certain parts of phalen. could that somehow tie in to the in and on the air thing? tho' i've got to admit, that's probably really reaching....

No mention of golf course in clues ... exclude Phalen as a possibility? At least on the west side.
