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.

RUN FAST, RUN HARD, STAY FOCUSED AND ON THE TRACK AS YOU CHASE YOUR DREAM......THEN RETIRE TO A NICE WARM COUCH...

I am still going strong with BC....Like the A,B, C (on & in the air), Crest Street (tides have a crest), rec cntr is new, play area, base-ball area and batting cage (Willie Mays- the Say Hey Kid).....time=era......box of soap perhaps in a white knit cap...Pt. Douglas Rd leads toward BC (tip), and Burns to north (ignite).

G - Trent cancelled and said that nothing was really confirmed last night at the PP. Too many parks to check out today and too few camera crews. Oh well. I was thinking on doing a little diggin at Mounds and D&C rec later. Not much though due to my F'd up back. :{

Food for thought, provided by runningchick. She's experiencing technical difficulties...

Link to Longfellow poem - it's LONG. Line 143 has the "time and tide" reference everyone's stuck on. If there's a connection in this, I don't see it - but I didn't do more than skim it, though.

Link to Frost poem - again, it's LONG. Lines 32 and 200 have "time"; line 77 has tide. I don't think this has anything to do with the hunt, but again, I didn't do more than skim it.

Totem Town (time to kill) area is actually part of the park area, to the east, but not crossing over to the Maplewood line.......

I like Merrium dug there alot last night, not many other places it could be there. starting to mounds may be good

Here's another tip,,,, "Down the hill, far from the woods", well which side of BC is there (if any) a sled hill or hill in general? b/c on the NorthEast side is Edgewood Ave, on the East Oakwood Rd Woodhill Dr and on the south Hillwood Rd, not actually boardering the part but close enough to me, I am using Mappoint to see all this.

I'm still thinking Merriam, but now I'm also starting to think Linwood might be a realistic possibility. I think Belvedere may fit though I've not actually seen the place. I would give Battle Creek some credit if I found out you could see a broadcast tower from there.

OK...it's either BC or Phalen....but i can't get away from BC because that waterpark fits so damn good with the clues... well i am going to do some scouting. Good Luck.

We were at Belvedere this morning.... Not much going on there.. No playground on the grounds, but at the school across the street. It has a few ball fields, not much else.
