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.

The playground is on the hill...that's about it though. The one baseball field is away from the "woods" = a few trees.

I am so new to this board! I have theories, but will "do the drive" tonight. I liked d And c, but don't see a hill, and it looked like a scary area.

I was at Jimmy Lee, Orchard, Linwood, and Battle Creek today...not TOO much goin on. WHERE COULD IT BE?

Linwood is east of downtown on St. Clair and Victoria. I'm not saying it's there, but it does seem to fit the clues. The only thing I don't like about it is the in and on the air part of it. While there are plenty of things you can see from there that would fit that clue, none of them really strike me as the sort of thing a cluewriter would pick to make a clue about.

Dave-

Radio Waves are in the air, and the radio broadcasts are refered to as 'on the air'.

Broadcast towers are usually very high, hence "in the air". And because they are broadcasting radio and TV signals, they are "on the air".

In and on the air would fit in with the rest of that clue... All pertains to baseball. As an out fielder you would watch the ball while it was in and on the air

I've heard some people saying Duluth & Case, but it just doesn't seem hilly enough to me.

To amuse a tiny tot...just some noodlin' here, if AMUSE was turned into A MUSE a tiny tot, one of the 9 sister greek goddesses, Calliope. Hmm, Calliope is another word for merry-go-round, carousel etc....

Anne -

The theory of park size has been a factor with relation of the number of hunters; directly related to the cash prize.

Basically, bigger the prize, the more hunters. The more hunters, the larger the park to accomidate.

Not always the best theory.

Sounds like a few too many steps there Amanda. I don't think they expect you to make a chain of associations more than maybe 1 jump long. Otherwise you could never expect people to get it as the variations along the way become too numerous.

He happy hunters, checking back in from San Francisco to help my kids find the elusive treasure. Wish I could be there with you, but vacation in Minnesota in January, ain't my ideal vacation.

Both kids have bought buttons and registered them and are still kicking themselves for not listening to me the last two years when I told them where to look and wall!, its where it was found.

Hope to share my doodling with you all as well.
