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.

Casey - Your other uncle works there too. (T) You really shouldn't use full names since you list your last name though.

Yeah Big Lew- If you squint (knit your brow) you can see the ONE, which also doubles as a TV broadcast tower. I think 1 only visible from the ball dimonds though.

West Minnehaha Recreation Center - 685 Minnehaha Avenue West -- any parks that may intersect near this rec center? Also - when you look up Parks on the St. Paul Park and Recreation Site -- their list of amenities include "tot lot" -- some have this, some don't.

LM, I don't think you can list all by one person. It's best to click on the "Mark" button, name the message what you want, and retrieve it later by clicking on message center button at bottom of screen.

Hello everyone, Tonight the Med will be found shortly after 2 AM I dont want any of you to get depressed, as its all in clean fun! Dont you just hate logging on and finding that you arent the winner? Kind of makes a person anxious for the upcoming year. Ive played long enough to know this writer is just having his fun with us. Scary thing is, 99.986 percent of hunters will be empty handed in less than 12 hours. Upon my winning I will state how grateful I am to my previous employer of 8 years for laying me off 3 days before the hunt so I can hunt at will.

Hey Dave. My first thought on the time & tide was that "high" goes in front of each. Suppose I'm not the first to think of that though!

don't know... my first thought was Highland, but now I don't think so. Why Mounds? I guess I can't believe they'd hide it there with the trouble they've had way back when.
