1983 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

Verifies the fact that the treasure medallion is hidden in Ramsey County.

The key word here is cookie. The medallion was hidden between 2 layers of a cookie and wrapped in wax paper.

This one narrowed the search to within the city limits.

Swinger is the vital key in this one. Phalen Park has appeal to all sorts of swingers .... from golfers to ball players to kids on swings.

When you bid no trump and take your trick you're playing bridge. There are two bridges near the site of the treasure.

There's a double clue here. References to Packards or Reos tells you that the park has been around a very long time, and "or Reos" names the cookie that surrounds the medallion.

Many a sign in Phalen Park makes it abundantly clear that there is no snowmobiling allowed.

In Minnesota's most recent gubernatorial election, Wheelock Whitney lost. Wheelock Parkway is adjacent to Phalen Park and the entrance to the park is located on it.

Phalen Park has many trees and it's extremely popular throughout the year among joggers.

If in school you get all F's, this is what you're doin'. You're failin', that's what. The clue also tells you to head for a picnic spot.

The mushroom shape is an umbrella-like structure in the picnic area - easily seen from where the treasure was hidden.

This one pins down the specific location of the medallion's hiding place.
