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.

Frosti that reminds of what happened to me when I was out on clue #4 Looking at Phalen... I was on the East Shore Drive Side over by the point... anyways. I stopped to get out of the car and then I noticed something in the air and I could see the radio towers from this location so then I started shaking ..like what if I found it this early I was soo excited.. So I jumped up to get the thing down from the tree and low and behold it was a dirty pair of underwear...and of course I had no flashlight.. regardless I still kicked those nasty things around until I was positive there was nothing hidden in them.

I went to Battle Creek and dug around the infield on ball diamond 3. The clues fit because you can see both the 3m sign from there and if you "knit your brow" and look close, you can see the 1 building and the antenna for on the air. Also interpreted FAIR as the medallion being in fair territory. Chose diamond 3 again because of the TRIPS I felt good about the area, but I didn't bring 2 pairs of socks, so I left after about 2 hours when I could no longer feel my toes :)

Do you have the link for that website, Stepdogg? My husband worked for the parks -- and says Battle Creek is a County park..located in St. Paul -- I wonder what definition Pioneer Press gives for St. Paul park? located in or managed by?

actually patti. i'd been throwing around the idea of parks that share their names with a rec centre. bc, and phalen immediately pop to my mind.

and casey 1) it's your name specifically that sounds familiar, and 2) yes ares as in bloodthirsty greek god of war.

Yeah but Highland is not listed as 1 of the official 41 rec centers in St.Paul. I would have been there if the clue wasn't so far off of Highland

I went to the Friends of the Park page -- looked up Battle Creek Regional Park -- states it's located in Maplewood; managed by the County. Looked up Battle Creek Recreational Center - states it's located in St. Paul; managed by the City. ????? I'll still keep Battle Creek in mind...maybe they're confused about where BC is located...
