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.

Well, TMK,

you, Scribe and DD will do a great job - I have confidence in your ability to relay the clue to us lazy ones at home.

mean..i could be right too...what with the era of the 6th jokers card upon us, the seeds of the lotus petal could fall upon the Winter Carnival...thus making the medallion, unfindable until the 6th clue

I have tried to read some of this so called noodling, and it was well over a half hour ago that i saw anything semi related to this. Oh well. I did notice some people talking about cottage grove though

WHOA!!

Over 1200 posts since I left for work this morning! You guys are making it hard to keep up!

It's sounding like Hidden Falls might have some pieces that fit into the puzzle...(?).

I said earlier that I was liking Battle Creek (that will probably change here in a couple hours), but here are the reasons why: 1 was already mentioned, and pretty unlikely to get a street name mentioned so early, but Hillsdale runs right into the cross country ski trails there. The other part I like, is I think "far and wide" could refer to "Upper" and "Lower" Afton Rd, which border the park.

Doesn't look like there'll be any time for a nap tonight before clue time so I'm getting a snack together for Dad and me.

Do they still post the clue online at 12 midnight like last year, I haven't been busy at midnight the last two nights so I wasn't here.

no way this is the same clue writer from 7 years ago. unless of course, clue 1 was a last minute replacement.

"have no fear" maybe have no fear of heights because "brow" means edge of a cliff. Mounds park has a cliff above the river.

So then I guess we get to read all the bogus clues that hapless morons have spent all day writing at about 11:45.
