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.

green, i could never leave either. but i'm sure that there are folks who would. besides, we'd still have to find a place to chat :)

The enemy paper doesn't do a medallion hunt. Even if it did, it wouldn't be OUR medallion hunt.

Did you guys ever think that maybee she needs *us*?

Kind of a big-headed idea, but maybee she does!

Folks that never post here, hardly ever read here, KNOW about The Cooler Crew. You'll see that in the Parade.

We get the word out about the Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt. We promote The Hunt, this site, the paper. We talk about the tradition and history of The Hunt.

While a motley Crew like us will most likely not make or break whether The Hunt continues (as Leela says, "There was a Hunt long before the age of the Internet..."), I am not going to take that chance.

My loyalities will always be with The Hunt and MomPress.

(stumbling off soapbox now...)

Hi, Leela! Used some o'your logic.. :D

Sorry, Roger... I typed "Robert," but I meant YOU!!! Be there!

No, Ares, I don't know.

For all I know, sumbuddy at MomPress is rite this minute screaming to CA that they "...JUST DON'T GET IT! THIS IS A BIG THING HERE! YOU'RE KILLING US - THE PAPER!"

Prolly not happening, but could.

You can't help but believe that the St. Paulitans are gnashing their teeth... There's changes going on there, from a place that doesn't give two hoots in hell about MN, St. Paul, and what folks here treasure.

NO PUN INTENDED.

For the record...

"Hey, Hey... OK, Ok" meant Larry Ho BASEBALL field in Como. The whole damn Clue did.

An area to amuse tots with street and parking lot parking was the wading pool at the Como pool, Como Ave, and the parking lot there atop McMurray field.

And... "Time and tide, fun and slide" = Highland. McMurray is a right old Scottish highlanders name.

Time to kill = Midway, up by the NORTH (park n rec) Como Rec center...

The clues were a gimme for Como. Really!!!!

Aw, what the hell.

Ares, help me out here, I'm terrible with names, but for some reason I remembred yours, It probably has nothing to do with the fact that you post 800 times a day or anything,... Anyway, I was talking with you yesterday, who else was there? ME2 seems to spring to mind but I met so many ppl that day...
