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.

THX 1138

ya know green, the duality in yesterday's clue may be a double clue (would that surprise any of us???) in that it's pointing to something that shares a name with both a park and rec, and that they're doubling up last year's park.

There's like only two or three that fit that.

Como and Merriam are two, and I think Battle Creek is one.

While any Rec Center may be considered a park, there are several in the Guide listed only as Rec Center, which are actually called Park and Rec Centers and others that are just called Rec Centers...Palace is just Palace Rec Center...but Merriam Rec Center is actually Merriam Park and Rec Center...the Guide leaves the Park out of several that have it in their titles...

"Wreck" is just (again, as in all previous clues!) doubling up on something else in the clue. This time: "rec".

Marie, it's teeny - one block - don't miss it. Bordered by Prior, Merriam Lane, and Wilder St. Adjacent to Longfellow School.

Could be...I live about 3 blks away...the clues fit if you go with really generic interpretations...hills, trees, open area, towers around, it is a park and rec...when I drove home yesterday I saw at least 3 guys out digging on the baseball field...
