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.

snowmommy dont worry! I'm a first timer too and i'll be showing up with pink polka dots on! so trust me, you won't feel as stupid as me! I wan't everyone to know I would only do this for the cooler crew!I am a die-hard hunter! will probably hunt till the day I die!OOOOOOOOO bad mental picture...... 80 yr old woman colapses in the frog pond when she uncovers the medallion! they say she had a heart attack but no one can say for sure, she was wearing pink polka dots and some say she was a little crazy!

well, gotta get the rug-rat up and ready for daycare,will try to log on after work if i'm not too tired!

well, kids, as guys we must stick together against the women on this board. here's my way of dealing with them.

1) consume much alcohol. 2) pretend they don't exist.

i'm still experimenting with how much alcohol is needed to make this scheme work. apparently i'm not high enough on the "point" scale yet :) and yes, thx, i'm still doing that, and no its still not working yet.

I was trying to set up babystters to go dig and was ondering what day do you guys think you can usually start digging? I was thinking day 5.

Ian... There's no way it was anyone that has anything to do with the hunt. It was just pretty funny. Close to home would be nice but that park is huge. I walk around the lake when it's nice out.

TMK I have a babysitter for the pre-hunt party. Now how do I find you guys once I am there?

Mon, 01/07/2002 - 12:16 AM Permalink
King Boreas aka Ian

The kids are old enough to dig this year, and promised them an X-box if they find it!

I don't know about x-box, but PS2 is pretty awesome.

...forget the missions, just steal some cars

great fun

Not quite sure Snowmommy. Do you have AOL?

Mon, 01/07/2002 - 12:18 AM Permalink
ThoseMedallingKids

Or that. This is my first pre-dig gig I'll be able to make, so I wouldn't necessarily know

Mon, 01/07/2002 - 12:19 AM Permalink
Snow mommy

Yes I have AOL

Mon, 01/07/2002 - 12:20 AM Permalink
ThoseMedallingKids

I was going to talk to you on AOL about figuring out meeting there, but guess we don't need to now :)

Mon, 01/07/2002 - 12:22 AM Permalink
Snow mommy

Why?

Mon, 01/07/2002 - 12:24 AM Permalink
ThoseMedallingKids

Well now you know how to find us. Just look for the carnival decor in the back room, or what was said earlier

Mon, 01/07/2002 - 12:24 AM Permalink
Snow mommy

I have to admit I am going to feel so funny because I don't "know" anyone.

Mon, 01/07/2002 - 12:26 AM Permalink
ThoseMedallingKids

Did you still want to figure things out over AOL about it?

Mon, 01/07/2002 - 12:28 AM Permalink
ThoseMedallingKids

Don't worry Snowmommy. I only know some people from a few encounters from last year. But you won't get to know us until you meet us, and that is a good place to do so. You'll meet all sorts of people on here, and you probably won't be the first timer.

Are you going to be up for a while? I have to tend to the laundry very quickly so I can send my kids to school tomorrow. 10 minutes tops.

McGovern's is the Vulcan Krewe's official meeting area. There is a side room with buttons, posters, programs, etc from previous Winter Carnivals.

PLUS

they have great food.

Yeah, I'll be around :)

OK, the kids can goto school tomorrow now. YEAH!!

ThoseMedallingKids

I'm sure they will be so thrilled ;)

Snow mommy

It's not them I am worried about. After a 2 week break it's me I'm worried about. I told you before I thought I knew your AL screen name, so just tell me this... does one of your profiles refer to Billy Joe at all?

Mon, 01/07/2002 - 12:58 AM Permalink
ThoseMedallingKids

Heh, no. I don't know if I even have a profile.

When do the buttons have to be registered by this year.

Mon, 01/07/2002 - 1:11 AM Permalink
ThoseMedallingKids

Not sure. Perhaps check out the PP website, or the winter carnival website.

Mon, 01/07/2002 - 1:16 AM Permalink

Do any of you have your button registed, and if so where did you pick up your button.

Mon, 01/07/2002 - 1:20 AM Permalink
ThoseMedallingKids

I am looking to pick up my button tomorrow. I hear that SuperAmerica has them, and Snowmommy says that Rainbow Foods has them.

Just wondering if there are any other late night CC are out there? Other than the guy from down under (you there this year?) I usually don't hear too much during the Dracula hours until at least clue 5. Got tomorrow off because of the Vikes last game this year. It will be nice to see if Randy feels like playing since Denny isn't here anymore. Gotta go burn some CD's.

Ian no I have not bought my gps yet. Hopefully I will have time next week (or after the winter carnival), and I will be on my mission to find one of your caches.

CM you'll usually find us here late at night.

Good morning, everyone!!! Stopped by here on Thursday to see what's going on. I haven't picked up my button yet, but I know that the Super America on Pilot Knob and Yankee Doodle has had them for the past 4 years. The most important thing is: REGISTER THE DARN BUTTON. Can't make it to the pre-dig gig because my office continues to have our holiday party on the same night as the pre-dig gig. Man, not happy about that. Will be home though in time for the first clue which won't amount to much but still is exciting to just read.
