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.

Not sure if there are towers there or not... I think in upper Hidden Falls park there are towers of some sort.

Now could these words been placed like this to form the rhyme? Could we maybe move a word to the next line like this

Time and tide, fun and

slide Down the hill, far from the woods

Marydale is not big enough for more than 100 people plus nothing to exciting there.

Lot's of Indian Mounds talk, some highland, como, hidden falls chatter also going on

Alan, yes i liked marydale at the beginning, but with the mention of sleding hills, not looking as good, may still be a darkhorse

Fee wheres that? I just got back form driving all over the place, from Crosby & Highland to Como, Phalen & Mounds, between them I tried to find Newell but I coulnd't remember how to get there. Crosby had about 5 cars each with a person in them just hangin' around, Highland was nothing, Como was too big to notice anyone, same with Phalen, but I did go by and see some of you at 4pm at Mounds, about 4 peps gettin ready to dig dig dig.

No I am not really all that familiar with any of the Parks. I Just see every thing going that way... We all will see things differently. I drove thru the parks a couple of times and That one seems to stand out most to me. The amount of trees and open space. The things I pointed out earlier.

Light a Spark-------Flintstones; Time to Kill--------Fort Snelling across the river; In and On the air---Radio waves from airport; Tide ---------------From the river; Brow---------top of a steep Hill

Just Noodling like the rest of you. Dont meen to be stuck on one park. Just my thoughts..........

Thats what makes it fun here... At the water cooler. Finding out why every one thinks what they do and if what they are thinking makes more sence.

For a mounds reference. Just below it is the StP airport, well one of the companies with a hanger below is labeled "Million Air", hence to on air is in the air.

I could make the same case for Highland I guess.

Light a spark______Horse shoes hittling the poles; Time to kill-------Highlanders The movie; In and on the air--------Disk Golf Tide------??????; Brow Disk golf course has a small valley between the trees and the road at hole 3
