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.

Terry

They just showed the finders on the news. They were out scoping the park when they happened to kick up the medallion. Unreal. It was reported that this is only the second time it's been found in 6 clues or less.

cold toes - when you are done with college, the hunt will still be here. Maybe someday folks will be unhappy with you cuz you got so smart, you outsmarted the clue writer on the 3rd clue!

It's a restaurant too. Under agers are welcome too...as long as you don't try to drink something alcoholic.

McGoverns is two blocks from the Excel Energy Center on 7th Street. I believe the cross street is Chestnut. It's on the corner across Chestnut(?) from Cossetta's.

Sad Joe! :{

Other than a BIG CONGRATS!! to Mary Kay & Sean (good work you two)

I really have nothing else to say that hasn't already been said before. Post #20766 at 3AM summed up the hunt for me this year. One can only hope Joe Cluewriter will not only take the newbie's thoughts but also the seasoned vet's take on the clues next year. There is a way. It's been done in the past. Thanks

CoolerHeads Rock!!!

C-ya @ Da Goves in a bit.

No user inform…

After 32 years of treasure hunting, this year I could only hunt from afar (moved to Vegas)....but I have to say that the clue writer STINKS! They were really bad......

I'm hoping next year I can fly back for the hunt...glad I didn't this year!
