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.

Jennee-

You can see many towers from other parks. Highland, Linwood, Phalen, etc. It all depends on the vantage point of writer when hiding the puck.

This poor little Medallion is being chased by a lynch-mob. If you were the Med where would you hide? Did anyone look behind the door handles at the PP? Cause if I was the Med I would hide under your nose and rub the clues in your face.

Judging these clues, Does anyone see the pattern of each clue being specific to one park? Also, maybe nothing but when you read the clues in the paper, not the one on the front but the ones on 5 or 6 B, has anyone noticed that the clues are printed in reverse order? In years past I dont recall seeing them that way........ Any notions?

One of the towers you can see from MCMurray is the space needle and space is in and on the air.

JS Mcmurray is part of Como so that would still be in a St Paul park. There is a sign at McMurray that says City of St.Paul Parks and Rec.
