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 called and told the kids last night to go to Merriam by the baseball fields, I used to take them their when they were little.

One said he was too tired from working, and the daughter said she had all ready arranged a baby-sitter to go on Saturday.

over all ready.

I had no time, but sent out a scout today. (My dad) Merriam was his last stop.

I stopped there yesterday (in a skirt) and walked around for twenty minutes. Oh, well.

I am always dissapointed about the low degree of difficulty of the clues. Although, I chatted more this year. I wish people would talk more about what they see when out and about and less about possible anagrams. It makes me feel like people never leave their desks.

Steve, I think you need to come out with a new guide, that includes a Cooler Crew dictionary/code.

soooooo bummed. didn't get a chance to look either. was planning on looking tonight, all weekend and Monday. How do you NOT buy a button???? I just do not understand that but it happens alot that someone without a button finds the medallion. And if you didn't register one, why not make a deal with someone who does have one???

I bought my buttons in Dec this year. I happened to see them. I always wait till the last minute. This year, I mailed it in 1.5 weeks early which is a record for me.

Thanks Scribe. I heard earlier on here that Mr News might go, I say we teach him a lesson! I saw the Medallionator's van last night. I laughed so hard when I saw the crossed out Mr News thing. That was great. I think Green though I was Mr News because she gave me a bad look. LOL. I bet the movie crew is PO'd. They might have to wait another year.

I was at Merriam most of the day yesterday, just about to head out when I heard the news, what a let down. Odd thing was, my partner was thinking newell, and todays clue: fool, jewel...newell. I was all set to give it a go. But I can say I was at the right park, just the wrong day. Looking forward to meeting some of you at my first rehash this year, when it happens, that is, anyone hear anything deffinite?

Re-Hash bash sometime-stay tuned.

The pot for Mrs. News' appearance is up to $275.00, but I'm not sure who kicked in the $50.00 and the clowns threw in a 12 pack of Faygo.

Well, There we are I jsut got home from School and heard the news!!!! I so hope that this education crap is worth it. This is about the most depressing thing I hate it I hear it every year. I do think the clue writer needs some lessons in his or her job. WTF?? I cannot wait to hear the definitions to these clues. anyone have any idea how they correlate? Well anyway I am sure we can talk more about that at the Bash!!!! So anyway me being new to this could ya give me some detalis about this rehash bash?? Is it this sunday?? and in the afternoon?? bring anything?? gonna cook on grills or whats the deal?? I know I am new

Maria I believe I saw you as well, at least you looked younger than most of the people that were there....no offense on that comment to the others. It was amazing. I was going to skip my classes today and go back out there. I mean hell there was only a little space you could go and look for it. Damn the new Clue writer. Damn him to hell!!!
