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.

Hay, Ian. You are so sweet. You guys, Ian found me a '56 WC button! Ittiz my pride and joy! Thanks much, Ian.

Jord, I never dreamed Stat and his mom would let me... But they did, and I just lost it. For only about the third time... (weak grin) Bawled my head off. And then I just started laughing! Like... I'd won or something! (We're dealing with a weird person here...) And then I felt kind'a happy because I knew that next year would come and maybe I could hold it for real, you know.

Ittiz very, very lite. Lighter than what it looks like it should be. And and don't bother asking me what was etched on it because I couldn't see anything thru my tears. Just some white marks.

Ian, this math challenged fool can't count that high...

Just make whatever you can, and it will be enuff. You know we never go hungry!

Jordenn

oh no problem, green! really! you weren't rude. we can introduce tomorrow at the rehash. :) and no problem with the drinks..... don't bother me..... besides being sad from the ending of the hunt... you looked like you were having fun!

plus- i left shortly after you got there.

I'm prolly gonna git a bunch o'crap from some that come here about me being so dead-set on Como. I make no apologies. I truly believed in my heart I was right, and I'm not embarrassed nor do I feel silly.

I feel like I made great strides this year and over-noodled prolly 75% less than I have in years past. So, I feel like I've accomplished something.

green you're not the only one here who liked como. i didn't have anything close to hitting any nail on any head, but somehow i felt drawn to como too. so when you take crap, we take crap.

Ian, I want to talk to you about this geo-cache thighy... Will you xplain it to me? About the coordinates and how you get them and all that stuff, like what you have to do and all? I'm really intriqued by it...

I know of a place or two.

I don't want to leave the PP though.

I want all to be welcome here. I just think we need to be more selective with what we post.

If this is what you're talking about?

Riddle me this, how does scotch tape stay stuck to a plastic puck and a piece of aluminum foil in the cold & wet?

don't worry. potato salad and i do not get along. then again, there's a lot of food that doesn't get along with this stomach. things which were yanked out of the world's waterways for instance.

Hey all. Stallion here.

I can't believe it's over already, it feels like it just began. Of course I couldn't do much this year, being stuck out here in California (there's not even snow out here to dig through, much less a St. Paul Park). Wish I could be there with you all tomorrow, but wish more that I could be with you on-line still trying to help noodle out the clues . . .

Then why bother with the scotch tape?

THX... I won't leave MomPress. She's given The Cooler Crew too much.

Nice thought, THX... Glad to see there's sumbuddy else that put a little scientific thought into this...

Cold causes scotch tape to contract. There's no way that Med had been out there but a couple hours...

let's face it. it was moved to merriam. or hidden there last nite.

didn't scribe say last nite that with the re-vamping of pioneerplanet.com and twincities.com that this whole entity we call the water cooler was gonna be going away and replaced by something run by knight-ridder as a whole?

I don't think so. Too many of us had merriam on our list of parks. Too bad for me that it was #2 on my list.
