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.

Only part is in Falcon Heights. If you drive on Snelling going from St. Paul towards Roseville, you see the "Welcome to Falcon Heights" sign and it's beyond where the Fairgrounds property starts.

pjbliss...you and your friend should search in St. Paul. Falcon Heights would be the wrong place.

ALL of the fairgrounds are in Falcon Hieghts, It's not a park, It's private property, pick your reason why its not there

I don't think it is at BC either. The whole skiing thing makes me question it.

Thanks TH Guide but I am sticking with Fair. I bought a book from you at Newell a few years back just as I was leaving the parking lot. It's a great book - thanks! Fair grounds is listed as a St. Paul Park on the Friends of the St. Paul Park's website.

ok, bliss, but its still private property, which is in direct violation of the hunt rules.

That's very meaningful to us Steve. now, I have an important question to ask . . . where did you get your lantern?

My only question is why would I not want to focus on a rec center after today's clue?

Steve, it's meaningful that you're preparing for the hunt b/c that means you have it narrowed down. Those of us that mark ALL your postings (not really) know that you'd only go when IT IS TIME.
