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.

I checked at rice and lawson today. You can see a Large radio tower to the south, St. bernard's bells rang the hour at noon( time), and there is of course a playground and a rec center. Also a paking lot and street parking

Dave- do you think they wouldn't hide it in Lewis park because its too small and has a residential building on the grounds?

New thoughts.....I am think it is at a small park. I know the clues say look for a larger area. But, it hasn't been at a small park in sometime. I like the Minnehaha idea. I am just at work and have a class tonight and am frustrated I can't go scope. How about you? What is this talk about Rice and Lawson?

don't feel bad, marie. i'm just as confused as you are. there's a lot of parks out there that can be made to fit the clues. until we get something a little more concrete pointing to one of them, i don't see the point of doing any digging. of course, come friday nite and saturday i may be out there digging.

    all the clues point to mounds plains in the air pilots on the air wrecked meaning of lost spirit tip is the paper down under thr brow of the cliff spar is the last letter of mounds taking s off end of mounds and you have spark

    the water reference, 2k2, would come from the setting of grisham's "a time to kill"
