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.

Another thing. If they are saying not to dig up the hillside could they be saying that the park will NOT have a hillside to dig up?

Frostillicus...get the map out. Tell me if the east side of Phalen is in St. Paul or Maplewood?

is there sledding at IM? all fit there for me and I still like BC also.... cherokee is on top of list also. IM 1st, cherokee 2nd BC 3rd. I think clue one only tells us to stay in a park in st. paul (nothing else) -- I can't place a year that it stated any thing else.

While I agree that In and on the air is a refferance to T.V./ Radio shows it could also be in referance to a floating disk.... like in disk golf

Somebody said before (can't remember who) that even the part of Phalen in Maplewood is still a St. Paul park.

How could a Maplewood park be a St. Paul park?

It's a St. Paul park... its just that part of it goes into Maplewood. There's nothing saying Phalen is a Maplewood park.

chrisdigger

clue 2 states the obvious that there is only one correct hill to be searching at the bottom of......brows has a defintion of the projecting upper edge of a steep place. (www.dictionary.com)....more to come

CD actually one year clue one gave up a street name 93 maybe....But I agree if it does say anything but a St Paul park it will be extremely vague. I too am all for IM

The north quarter of Phalen Loch is Maplewood. Some nice wooded areas around there.

Chris, I think that definition of brow means something too. Not sure what though.

the rules say public land in st paul, the medallion has been hidden at the fair twice , many many years ago, I think it is a good possibility

that would have been me, shaggs. or at least that's how i see things.

it's real easy, steve. phalen is entirely run by st paul parks and rec. even the part that's in maplewood. so technically the maplewood half is fair game for the hunt. if they really wanted to trick us...

and ian, the accusation of a law degree was deleted. but the conversation started at message 18729 in last year's discussion.

Focus your hunting on the Maplewood portion of the park...good idea.

Hey Chris Digger. You the one we met the other night at the PP?

If so, howdy. If not, howdy.

Steve, do I have this correct, the puck will be in a ST PAUL park?

Shaggy 2 Dope

Isn't there a big hill on the Maplewood side of Phalen too? Maybe staying away from the woods refers to St. Paul itself.

Works the same for Battle Creek....I think that there would be some really angry hunters if the treasure was hidden beyond the city boundary. More power to you...get down there with your shovel, quick.

who ever asked about bb feilds as long as they are part of a st paul park they are fair game

Not to be to technical, Phalen is in St. Paul, however the Maplewood border is near. I use to work for St. Paul Parks.

the difference there, steve, is that battle creek is not a st. paul park. it's a county park (the signs say whose parks and rec dept. run them), which by virtue of the wording of clue 1 may well exclude it.

Guide-you are so smart. Of course. Everyone, quick, go to the Maplewood side of Phalen, where the trees are. All the clues fit perfectly there. That is where the camera crews are. They know where it is. I'll see ya all there!!

Just did some scouting....Crosby;feels like a bad movie down there..not too many peeps. Hidden Falls;bring your kevlar vest...a few peeps...no one digging or looking...Battle Creek zone 3; Ghost town...Phalen; this could be it...at least a few more peeps looking...Highland Park; by far the most activity here...20 or sp peeps...I almost got hit by the frisbee of death tho, maybe thats relative to " have no fear"!!

So nobody liked my idea of "light a spark" being in ref. to a "flintstone"

OR

Stay away from a hill could mean a park with no hills
