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.

Will there be a pre-parade party?

I almost ran to you too-I just couldn't eat all of them. My daughter had one for breakfast this morning.

And I could not resist a good "red light"

Not sure at this point.

what was it you played chinese fire drill to give to scribe and thx at snelling and marshall?

Wait till you hear this. Me2 is weird.

THX! That wasn't very nice! I'm only here for you!:)

If that was the case I wouldn't have met you here.

Will there be a pre-parade party?

There's been discussion on that subject.

Scribe, quick typing will do that to you - wrong spelling. The one thing I really enjoy about this hunt is the opportunity to learn more about the Twin Cities (mainly St. Paul/Ramsey County) that I would never have known. It's a chance to get out during the winter when I normally would be inside. Meeting people here on the board and out in the field. Even though I may never meet you (fellow hunters) in person, I feel we're friends in a way.

There are great insights about clues here and everyone seems to be very open to all ideas shared. That says a lot about Minnesota people and the feeling I got when I moved here in 1988. Everyone is very friendly.

What do people wear in this parade, anyway?

I was on here yesterday morning only for a short time. I thought for a moment that PP hid another medallion. My Daddy was contemplating the morning's clue. Then I realized it was the clue that would have come out for that day. My heart jumped at the thought of a short hunt.

PRICELESS...you saw it too MD? I will never forget that!

Ares--I wanted to bring my video camera last year and felt intruding with the camera crew there so I did not do it this year either.

Red Gapefruit at that-actually I wasn't gonna say, but since that is the way I think...those were pretty big grapefruit and I dropped 2 in THX's lap (a male)

That's true, Ares. I met you last year. I've met Steve, Green, Downtown Dave, Allison, Maureen and Steve, and a few others. I even told my husband that we should do a Hunters Guide for the Apple Valley hunt. I've got the disease.

Anything your heart desires but, most just wear their digging outfits/clothes.

Some also bring their shovels, lanterns..........

As in lotsa white clothes, lotsa clothes with picture of cluewriter burning in effigy, or lotsa clothes with coke spewed down front?

BTW, Allison sez that he hopes to start the mock hunt three weeks from yesteday(1/27). He needs time to write the clues, ect. Also, since he's soon to be unemployed, if anybody has ideas about a prize or would like to donate a prize, contact him.

You will recognize me at the parade because I will be wearing a sailor's uniform, an anchor tattoo, and an "It's at Crosby" banner across my shirt.

You guys have people attacking your computers!! That's not good. They got through your firewalls - I'm impressed. But, that's also very mean of a fellow hunter. Computers are our tools and we shouldn't mess with other hunter's tools.
