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.

I'll see everyone at the PP tonight around 11. happy noodleing and hunting, haven't been to phalen yet but maybe I'll swing by soon just to check it out..........hope tonights clue makes more sense than what I'm thinking now.......it sucks for me to make the drive, I come from Eagan and none of these parks are in my back yard.

Well people, sorry to dissapoint, but I gotta take off for a while, but have no fear, this legendary psychopathic ryda will return around 11, just in time for the new clue. Just so ya'll know where this wicked clown stands park wise, I'm leaning towards Mounds.

Some guy I take it that means no radio towers I am just trying to make a list of parks with radio or tv towers that you can see for this year and future years. My unconfirmed list so far; Cherokee, Harritt Island, Phalen,Merrium, Battle Creek, Desnoyer, Langford, St. Anthony, Newell, Kellogg, Duluth & Case, Eileen Weida, Lawson & Rice, Indian Monds, Swede Hallow

are there any others, or are any of these wrong...
