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 think tonight's clue will say something about tennis, ice skating, or a church. If it's going to be in a small park, I think they will go at least one more clue with stuff that could appear in lots of parks. I think at clue 7 they will go for a street name.

I don't think in and on the air refers to airplanes. I think it's referring to a single item that is both. Airplanes are certainly in the air, but despite their use of radios, I don't think anyone ever really considered them to be "on the air". I still think a broadcast tower is the right answer.

Too early to tell for sure, unless you are real lucky.

I would rule out Newell and Como to start.

Definitely in a park, near hills, with kids playgrounds.

Just starting noodling, will spend more time later.

Good Evening!

Lots of slogging to find that everyone is everywhere! Doesn't sound like any concensus yet.

What does Longfellow have to do with anything?

Allison Wonderland

Thanks Randy for the vote of confidence. Hopefully it won't end up like last year, but I think my approach this year is much improved over the elaborate interpretations I used back then. But we'll see. Anyway, time for me to head out. I have a Mason meeting to go to tonight that I don't think I can get out of, but I'll check a couple of parks afterwards and then be at the PP.

where do people think it is???????

Baygent

Well Lisa's Mommy, It has been 15 years since it has been at Mounds and some of the clues fit there.

Also it has been 19 years since it has been at Phalen! The clues can be construed towards there as well.

Noodling so far makes me think it is large park, sliding hills, baseball fields, kids play area, perhaps in area between parking lot and sidestreet, on the ground.

Tonight's clue may give street or perhaps container.

Can't remember where Longfellow school is????

Allison, how does "in and on the air fit Linwood? I was at Merriam and BC today and i don't like Merriam but i like BC a LOT It all fits and dave it is listed by St, Paul as a St. Paul rec center. Away from the woods would take it away from the ski meet.Battle Creek school is a magnet school which fits with "strike a spark" in kids minds. Plenty of open space near the playground with a lot of things for tiny tots to play on. What do others think?
