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.

Usual Suspect

How many people have no idea about the real basis of the

medallion hunt raise your hand.

Seriously, this is a joke how many stupid questions get asked

Sorry everyone i had to vent.............

Good evening all - more mapping looking and noodling has come up with the following.

What do you think?

"be fair" - Fairview Avenue Runs right along Newell

all we'll - Wheeler street is the other side of newell

Wooded park with rolling hills

Has a "tot lot" - listed on the friends of parks website

rec - can't quite fit this, but there is a four season heated building there, not officially a rec center, but could be thought of as one.

on the air - a road a block or so to the south is Hubbard - ie. Hubbard broadcasting

in the air - basketball hoop.

Anyone agree or disagree?

Web Star-Isn't Plato down below CP on the river? I didnt think it actually ran through the park though

I thought I was going out scouting tonight. Guess not.

I think just about any clue could fit about any park right now without much stretching. It's all in interpretations. Whoever interprets the clues correctly will find the right park. After that it's the luck of the shovel.

For the noodling about Newell - that used to be a rec center...part time one I believe. Had a hockey rink there in '84.

An echo from another era in time?

Some say it can't be at Mounds because of a bad year in the past. As far as I know there has never been an official statement made about Mounds being off limits. It was mentioned in the past about it not being in Maplewood ever again, but not Mounds. I would assume most of us would kick ass on any idiot who tried climbing the fences to the burial mounds anyway.

Joky, I don't think it fits. At least not the Hubbard part and the basketball hoop stuff. You can see broadcasting towers from Newell...

What I just thought of is that...

What if this IZZ a repeat 'history? Because Newell went so short?

Nah. I'm losing it... What little I had left to lose! (Maybee that fall did rattle my head...)

Whoops! Newell was 2000, wasn't it? Not Conway!

Newell's got a parking lot(s) - very small... But the damn thing's almost completely covered with trees. How you gonna get away from the woods?
