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.

I have this picture of us in trench coats, going to a local park. Surveying the scene. Opening up our trench coat to reveal the following items lining the insides: treasure hunter's guide, shovel, ice chipper, lantern, flashlight, food rations, thermos, hand warmers, chapstick, pocket for clipped clues, cell phone, binoculars....
