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've seen several references to "arcade" meaning something...where is the word "arcade" in one of the clues? I don't see it.

Who said its not on the ground because there is no snow? Doesn't the phrase "you may trip over the goods" tell you to look on the ground?

Time to kill

Been away awhile, can anyone tell me if Highwood hills has a parking lot. It has 2 tot lots, a school and totem town for boys to "kill time". Just don't know if they have a parking lot. What does anyone think?

Noodling: Clue 4:

A "game to play" that involves a "tip" is basketball. "Something in the air" is the rim, or basket, or net.

Can anyone make a connection with such a word to "something on the air"?

Hello all,

Well it appears we are all throughly confused. Too many points for too many parks.

Someone had mentioned Merriam awhile back, but I don't know their reasoning, but I am going to check it out this evening.

Here is what I know about Merriam from my research today.

- Has a sledding hill - according to the friends of parks website. - Is a few streets over from "Fair"view at least from what I can see on the map. - "Games" - when you look at activities at the park there is volleyball, baseball, softball, soccer, etc. Lots of sports. - "knit" - the Merriam park community is a tight "knit" community - which is what I read in an article about them. - "Tots" place to play - the "Rec" center there specializes in activities for kids kindergarten age and younger.

- In and on the air still confuses me.

Anyways, just my thoughts for the day.

Anyone else?
