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.

No user inform…

The thought of it being located in Como again makes me want to vomit.

Guide, only walked around for about 10 minutes, no digging, and no place to take a tiny tot.

Ares, I can't figure out what exactly is going on with the clues, but the format seems to be contrived to hide some internal hints.

GREEN! I'm so sorry I walked off with your smokes..... We had to run home and we didn't see you at the pavillion.

I found a golfball today... at least I know I can find small things with the probulator...

Super busy at work so I can't chat. Here's what I was told by a co-worker who's lived here all his life and he's 65 years young. He said there's a "Gabes in the Park" somewhere by Lexington close to Energy. There is also a bar called "Park Rec" close by. He thinks it's at Como.

Don't know if that helps or not in the thinking category, but just throwing it out there.

Gabe is on the corner of Lex and Energ Park Drive....the other bar is called the Halftime Rec

Is it far away to even be considered a hint within the clue?

Carl The Hunter

I think sooo...why the Gabes reference though???

Thu, 01/24/2002 - 11:04 AM Permalink
Treasure Digger

He said he thought is was called Gabes in the "Park" and then the other "Park Rec" cause the clue said Park n rec.

I'm not familiar with that area. I can't go out digging because I'm stuck at work. If I can throw something out in here that can help someone else, then I hope I can help maybe some coolerhead find it if I can't.
