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.

It could be Mcmurray because It is right by the state "fair" and the "tip" of the space needle is visible from there. The "time and tide" thing could be refering to the como pool which is near there. I dunno for sure but it's a possibility.

Okay another question??? what time does the new clue come out?? is it faster to go to the PP and get it or wait on here for it? when would it get here? Oh and after its found I am going to have another hunt. I will give you clues to the new guy writing these clues and when you find him/her bring it to me....

This may have been mentioned, but the only thing truly on and in the air would be a pilot. On the air with the control tower and in the air. My thinking then would be Mounds.

I see that everyone thinks that today's clue is about an echo, but does anyone else think that it may be a cheer......i.e., a college cheer????? (Hey, Hey, what do you say???) I was thinking College Park. It is by the Fair grounds too.

Hi all - This is my first writin' here so I have two things to say 1.Just wanted you all to know in the Cooler that you got a nice plug from Sany on KQRS this morning. All your "noodlin" ideas I read here were mentioned on the show...oh wait ... we don't want the whole world to know where it is ...do we? UM never mind. Note to Sany, shut up! LOL and 2. I wanted you all to know I have been in the hunt for three years and think of you all here as friends, even though I don't even know ya - but I laugh with ya all and your great ideas. And I thank you for a good time, every year. But now a question: Where is the dang thing? I went out (again) looking. And no, did not find it. Note to self: Keep looking, cause it ain't in the keyboard. Thanks all for the great time EVERY year! You keep me going. : )

Talking about the echo thing, if you happen to watch a lot of military movies, notice that when sending messages they say them twice, so I was also thinking about the Minnesota Army National Guard hanger accross Holman from Mounds.

Here are thoughts on BC:

"Or just trek up and down every hill, Work your brain, your legs, it will be fun"--lots of hills and ski trails

"If you have some time to kill"--battle

"Time and tide"--near Mississippi, or Longfellow St.

"fun and slide"--big sledding hill, or water slide

"Down the hill, far from the woods"--sledding hill slopes away from woods

"We're game to play But give us a tip -- be fair!"--baseball fields

"Look for something in and on the air"--planes in air from airport, Point Douglas Road refering to Paul Douglas on TV

Any thoughts? Anyone else want to do a rundown of their fav. park??

am not feeling the medallion at Crosby or Highland.. not even Battle Creek ,yet. Maybe at Cherokee some small park that it hasn't been at in over ten years.

Okay thats it if anyone is planning a battle creek park trip I want to go to give me a lift on the way :) I will even tag along over to the PP if anyone wouldn't mind coming out my way. Sorry to be such a pest. Oh yeah I will come ready to do some thinking.

I was at Langford today and not much for hills nobody else there. looks like someone else had the same idea earlier.

my hunch about all the "hill" mentioning in the clues. Well maybe the Cluewriter isn't even hinting towards actual hills, maybe he/she is speaking of a street such as HILLSIDE AVE .. by Langford.. you can also see a radio tower from there.. I am not sure which one. it would be just like them to hide it in a small park again, too.

but far from the hills could be far from hillside ave
