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.

You know the seal on a can of pringles? The one you pull off. It was taped to one of them.

oh yeah, I almost forgot! next year I am making t-shirts, they are going to say NO MORE MR NEWS!

I will learn from it.... they will hide it in piss-poor places! Merriam is a terrible park to hide it, to much foot traffic, we are lucky it wasn't found earlier.

I agree with MQ, How can a stranger to the parks even be in the right park?

Last night before I hit Merriam, I was at St. Anthony Rec. It al fit and I loved the street (Hunt Place) Then I went to Merriam and told my brother, The only way it can be here is down on that field! I know I walked over it several times.

Had a nice time at McGovern's tonight. Ares - It was good to finally meet you in person. Maybe we'll get a chance to chat more on Sunday. Marley - We missed you and your queen - but look forward to seeing you on Sunday.

stat kid - Congratulations to you and your Mom!!! Don't worry about those that get a bit heated. There is always a let down when it's over every year and different folks handle that disappointment differently.

at least other years when we were let down, it was ok because it was a decent hunt but there was something about this year that leaves me feeling unsatisfied with the whole thing!
