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.

LLady, Greg is one man that has more on his plate than probably all of us sitting here right now.

The beautiful site you see is the work of years. In yearly mantenance, Greg spends - I'm guessing - about 4-5 hours a day in upkeep during the Hunt Time.

He probably has not had time to even look at your poem yet. And your poem may not get put up until later in the year when things slow down some for Greg.

I'm thinking he *has* looked at your poem, since he mentioned here to send stuff... Your poem prolly reminded him.

Don't fret, just stay calm.

Ares, I, too have dreamt far too many things that have actually then happened later. Ittiz very weird...

I dreamed about our youngest Huntress, Natalie, before (while?) she was a gleam in Dad's eye! :D

We used to noodle Eags' and my dreams in "Shoot The Breeze" all the time...

JOE!!! for Eags!

Buttons gotta be postmarked by January 20. And, since the post office isn't open on Sundays, you'd better do it by Saturday. Go now!

Phalen, Phalen, Phalen,... every year I keep wondering why it wasn't been there in so long. Do you think its because part of the park is in Maple woodd and off limits for ever???

Thu, 01/17/2002 - 11:04 AM Permalink
Liquor Lady

nah, the majority of the park is st paul,I think the maplewood side is actually keller.

That's my take on it, New Daddy.

Thu, 01/17/2002 - 11:12 AM Permalink
Frosti

I'm pretty sure that all of Phalen is in St Paul.

Thu, 01/17/2002 - 11:12 AM Permalink
New Daddy

I hope so, Phalen would be a good place to dig, and it is due... I need to start bringing my maps and The guide to work to check on these things.

Here's the skinny from the Treasure Hunter's Guide.

"The park connects to Keller Park just north of it, which is located in Maplewood. Combined, they are Phalen-Keller Regional Park."

SO, the way I read, Phalen is in St Paul, Keller is not.

Incidentally, Phalen was named for Edward Phalen, a suspect in St. Paul's first murder.

Today is Thursday right? Seems everyone is off a day or I missed a day somewhere. But it would be 60 hours until the first clue and two more "wake-ups".

Hi everyone,

Since the rules say that the Medallion will be "hidden on public land in Ramsey County," why couldn't it be hidden in Maplewood, which is in Ramsey?
