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.

or like the webmaster wrote, it is hidden in an Orange and Black "Trek" hat worn above the eyebrow

The Orange and Black hat would fit with the Orange and Black on a "tide" box

Do you think that they'd really put it in something orange though considering that there's not much snow?

Geez, we've been really, really busy noodling. Had to transcribe an injury report and there's been about 250 or more posts since I was here. Sounds like we've narrowed out a few parks, but have several in mind.

If were a dirty, dull orange hat, Yes I think they would. The hat would be absorbing water and grit from the snow and ground
