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.

ND, I like Mounds too. After going there, I saw at least 3 different spots that fit and are down a hill away from woods.

I think being patriotic and all in the air may be a flag

If it's in Battle Creek, it would likely be between Winthrop and Ruth, just south of Upper Afton Rd. That's where there is a wooded hill leading down to an unwooded area that's near a parking lot and playground.

Chilly! If he/she takes a right that leads to BC school area and where the rec center is, they need to take a left to get the BC park

Merrium seems wrong. I dropped by there after giving a lecture on my way back to work. Although, I had boots, I was in a skirt.

I don't know, but I didn't like it in the slightest. I am back to BC. Maybe Linwood. I am musing MLK for some reason, although, I am sure you guys would find me crazy.

"Hey, hey," you say, "We're game to play But give us a tip -- be fair!" OK, OK, here's all we'll say Look for something in and on the air

I think that the whole clue is one clue not two. It is in referance to baseball. Willie Mays, Fair ball, And the in and on the air would be the ball itself. Possibly the outfielder watching the ball.

I'd say Merriam, Linwood, Belvedere.

The water park in BC is in Maplewood.

I get a broadcast tower for in and on the air because they are usually high in the air and because they are boradcasting, they are "on the air". I really don't think ti could be anything else.

And from Linwood, well it has a view of a lot of the city, I assume you can see a tower from there. The only thing I don't like is that if you were looking down on it, it wouldn't really seem to be "in the air".

Allison, if you were to look down or straight at it instead of looking up, maybe thats why it said "in and on the air"

OK McKnight may be the StP/Mpwd boarder but it has been at BC many times before. And Sundays paper listed where the medallion has been every year showing it has been almost 3 miles ouside the StP area. Anyone else see what I am talking about?
