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.

Hi, finally made it back in, and I won't even bother trying to slogg through 2+ days of posts. Now I'm busy in my office, so I get to play on the net for awhile...

hey, don't I get points for accepting a phone call from a strange woman (me2), standing alone at Highland, in the middle of the night?

I-d say you get points but she gets - points for being at Highland, but that just my philosophy...

maybe from her, but definitely not from your wife.

True. It was fun while it lasted, though. Now we'll just have to be witty, entertaining, and interesting in a decent, chaste, and wholesome way.

Hi all, what do you think of our new clue writter.

My thoughts- She will include things that have no meaning like tide and time, post a sentury, brides in pink we gotta remember that for next year-if the clue writter didn't get canned.

My Dalliance

nd, I think we noodle the clues for about 5 minutes (which is all it should take, considering their complexity this year).

Then, we pick a park at random, get as many Heads there as possible (preferably 20 or so) and just start combing the park in a line.

If we did this every day and night, I promise you success.

say what, lm? it's for your husband's co-worker's wife?

l and a mommy

ok its a co-worker kinda yet they use to be really good friends way before me....Its weird....but I am expected to go because I said I would....isn't a pregnant woman allowed to change her mind!!!

Ares, I don't believe lm. It's too convenient. :)

I always thought that being pregnant was an excuse for anything.

Md your are right in that they were simplistic. But gotta noodle on something. I I noticed a lack of street references, which ahd been frequent in proir years.

Thu, 01/31/2002 - 2:53 PM Permalink
l and a mommy

I thought so too!! I even tried to see if I could do the parade and then go but it is like 45 minutes from here and starts at 7

And a lack of what it was attached to/in.

yeah if you noodle too much someone else always walks away with the prize

Or if you dig around railroad ties.

Can't dig why we are at work, besides we had the park very early due to good noodling.

Well I gotta go make some calls and make sure I still have a sitter for Saturday...Hey I can always tell him I can't get a sitter then maybe I can go to the parade...hmmm interesting....
