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.

Hey, at least you didn't get "faked out" like I did. I was looking at the wrong park and found a blue circular container that some sadistic person had hidden in a potentially appropriate spot!! I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS!!!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot - the hunt lasted about as long as the snow did - that's two things that kinda "create a major vacuum" (figure out that clue, if you can)! :) --hint: think "sucks big time".

Hey...§©®¡ß¢, when you read this, well, you dont know me, i said "Hi" to you last night at the Pioneer Press, but i dont think you heard me, i found out who you were last night. I dont know really anyone in here at all. Well, i suppose i should get down to what this post is about, right? Im only 21, i have no idea how old you are, but i think your pretty hot. I dont know if your "involved" with someone or not, but, im hoping its "not" so maybe we can hang out and get to know eachother a little bit. Thanks!

I moved here last year from Nebraska, and was at Merriam last night. Hate to tell all you this, but the clues were pretty easily decoded. I'm just kicking myself for leaving at 4am last night and not 5. Congrats to the winner.

This is addicting! See ya all at como next year ;)

Hey, Jesus Christ...what do you have against me?? I dont even know you! No, im not a stalker, stalkers are people that follow other people around and spy on them. what did my last post say? I saw her for the first time last night. Whatever....im still mad right now about the med being found, so im not even going to bother talking to you right now. I know your just being mean because of the same reason, and the fact that im new to posting in here, and you've been around a while...your mean to newcomers, wait, your mean to everyone, it seems. Your probably the same guy as Mr. News. I know you were in here a couple nights ago, yelling at people, and saying that they would die for messing with you.

Hey people, I am disappointed said medallion is found. This weekend would have been great for hunting. They need to get a new clue writer or something. The year it was at Conway was fun cuz everyone was scrating their heads for days. Well 51 more weeks till we hunt again. Isnt it somewhat strange that that woman found it so early with not too many clues, and my last question is what was her 16 year old kid doing out of school, that is pretty week to take your kid out of school to look for a medallion.

No, actually alot of kids were out of school today for some reason. My cousins all go to highschools in the saint paul area and they were out of school too.

Wait--alot of the High schools were out today because of end of term. My kids were out....I personally think the clues were written by Cub Foods this year, and not the PP; Cub foods seems to be heavily involved with this years hunt....

I guess im kind of glad i didnt find it. I dont shop at Cub Foods anyways, the workers there are kind of snotty.

They probably just got that Pringles can from a Cub foods store nearby......I will just pout for awhile. feels good to pout; see everyone back next year.....

I dont think it was a full can, just the top part that you peel off that says "pringles" and has the mustache guy on it.

That was a really weird hiding object; Methinks PP wasn't that involved, but a new clue master.
