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.

yeah...the brain can also mean the golf course...., since you need to think about your shots and whatnot..

LL - I sure like your idea on time to kill - never would have thought of that. I was just thinking of a clock.

It must be at a large park this year. Lets face it, there is little snow on the ground. The cluewriters must have taken this into consideration. Without snowfall as a cover, an average sized park (like Newell) would have every flake flipped over by clue 7. It seems like a large park is the only way, unless they are thinking like i am then.................

Rivl/Timmers... Include me and The Brown One.

Who, heretofore, has had no interest in this Hunt. Now he's sitting here NOODLING with me, reading a dictionary, pondering, pondering, pondering.

According to His Brownness... Used to bee fireworks at BC... He used to go there as a kid and watch them...

Of course, that was back in prolly the 1800's!!!! LOL!!!

(He's watching me type this... :D)

Hi all: Just catching up. "time to kill" made me think of a clock(tower) that doesn't work any more. Better yet, "time to kill"=killing time= stopping a watch=stopwatch, which is what you have when you are timing races (school track at Highland?)

What does a time to kill have anything to do with a police station.

In the movie it takes place at a court house for the most part

Hi Green, That's my take so far, we'll see, surprised about the lack of noodling.

He is already. He asked me to bee his bride, didn't he? No hope for this SOB! :D

they dont take killing to kindly at the police station, and if caught, you will have a lot of time to kill

Just noodling #1

There's snow, it's cold, winter's finally here Let the medallion search in you light a SPARK FAR AND WIDE take your hunt, have no fear You can find it in a St. Paul park

I'm thinking spark has a meaning or far and wide outskirts of st. paul Thoughts?

last time they referred to "brain" was in 94 at highland, clue 5 which also included elevated terrain. I wish it were that easy right now.

Finally checking in. I think we all are jumping a bit ahead naming the parks already. No snow till a week ago means the clues will have to be extentuous before revealing... pretty much anything. Time will allow for some revealing info, right now just catchy phrases to mean basic things. Deep breaths help when you are this anxious to get out, right?

I don't think the word KILL is in the clue for the purpose of MURDER.

I think hill is the key word here and kill is just there to rhyme with it. But the whole knit your brows thing seems fairly deliberate. Seems like either it's just there to refer to the medallion being in something knitted, or it's tryint to imply there's some other hidden meaning in the clue. Of course I thought that with clue #2 in Newell also and it really was there just to use the word "Ace".

Right, no need to go to'in and fro'in this early, after the past few years they are going to be very creative and not give out that much info so soon. So sit back, put your feet up, and relax!!!

Kill could mean murder if its Phalen..didnt the states first murder trial have something to do with someone named Phalen?

tim_the_hunter

they will have clues with hill and school references, and everyone will go highland, when it is at hillcrest. plus it is a rec center, so it will throw us off AGAIN
