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.

Night, you're 100% correct. But, again... We'd already been told The Med was going to be found in a St. Paul Park in Clue #1. Clue #5 is also telling us that not only is the park a park, but ittiz a rec center, also.

"park n rec"

Your probably right G - I just hate accepting the first thought as the final thought on every clue. Unfortunately it usually turns out that way. I get depressed on the lame answers to past clues. It takes all of 5 mintues to come up with the actual meaning then another 23 hours wasted to look deeper into it. Actual noodle time should really be no more than 1 hour a year. Take a past year that you don't really remember and try and figure out the clues. More times than not you are correct in your first assumptions. Maybe it comes with playing this little game over and over. I WANT CLUES THAT WILL SURPRISE US IN THE END!! Kind of like the frog shower at the end of the movie Magnolia. I dig that sh!t

My head hurts :{

I never accept my first thought! LOL!!! I've changed my mind so many times today about what park The Med's in, I've confused myself!

As someone once said, "We're all on a trip to CA, but taking different routes to get there." We all have to find our own way in this Hunt.

As far as Mounds...there is a Saint Paul Park official web site, I was on it tonight, that lists Indian Mounds Regional Park as one of 6 or so major Saint Paul Parks....so dont debunk Mounds and say it isnt a park...it truly is. and as far as that old malarkey about not hiding it there because of the mounds....Ive come to believe its total B.S. if they didnt want people there, it would be in the official rules that it wont be in Mound...just like it wont be on Harriet Island this year. Those Indian Mounds are marked and surrounded by iron fences...not putting it in Mound because of the Mounds would be like not putting it in Como because of a statue or the frog pond. Im not saying it is in Mounds...but it certainly could be.

Night, "drive your car."

There are so many dualities in these clues:

OK, OK; hey, hey; wreck, rec.

The clue writer is repeating him/herself constantly.

Repeating... repeating... repeating...

One more thing....I think this is really going to be in a precise, exact spot.

Clue 6 makes it sound like Joe Schmo who just goes where he sees people digging and actually finds it...won't be able to find it. it is going to be interesting folks....No work tomorrow so that is 72 hours of diggin....or searchin' for me. I cant f'in wait.

Shovel... I never said Mounds wasn't a park, LOL!!! I said it wasn't a rec center! :D That's why it's listed on the park listing and not on the rec center listing.

Later, 'gators!

I'm off to noodle clues and have SCDs!

Good luck and happy hunting!

Thanks Step. I lost where I put my program. Some funny Shjt though. I like the Narc Perk. Wouldn't that be like a 1/2 pound of dope or something? And we know this writer(s) is probably on something anyway.

Do both of you have registered buttons? I missed the damn dealine this year. I already figured out that, if I found it, I would get all of us regular CC members together to go turn it in to the PP and split the registered $5,000 between the CC using a registered button. I've already had it in my hands. But when I open my eyes it's gone.

Again!!
