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.

I mean, Violent, don't talk to, egg on, encourage, participate in JC's convers. You will be seen as a partner - as one just keeping his ramblings going. You'll be seen as, possibly, an alter ego of his - another name he uses.

Just leave it.

Lettuce get bock to that that is keeping us all up past our beddy-bye times!

The HUNT!!!

"Knit your brows on this one" refers to thinking hard, I believe.

"Or just trek up and down every hill" refers to using our legs.

heh...let me just clarify one thing, and ill be done with the whole JC thing...seeing as how he hasnt said anything in nearly 10 minutes, and is hopefully gone for now...myself along with Shaggy 2 Dope, who was in here earlier tonight, have been in here the past couple years and both go out looking for the MED in clown makeup....im NOT trying to piss anyone off... im here for the same reason everyone else is...to "noodle" about the clues....and hopefully find that thing one year...heh (good luck, right?) Green...im sorry if i pissed you off(or anyone else for that matter...except maybe JC, now).....and with that, i will sign off....until tomorrow, i have 2 words....

I've seen you guys here, Violent. You've contributed and added to what The Cooler Crew is.

That's why I told you what I did. Don't encourage - or argue with - folks like JC.

I'm am NOT the only person here that may get their drawers in a knot over inappropriate postings. And so, I wanted to just give you a heads up.

Just as I did JC. I don't believe in carrying tales until someone has had things xplained to them.

You're fine, Violent.

I personally believe this: We don't know much, but we can speculate. My speculation right now after a few hours of noodling is a new park that is smaller. Quite possibly a "rec center". Far and wide, having to think hard. Just a hunch. On the other hand, Highland seems to be shaping up. Goodnight all, scd's. And have a good day off!

Gotta get to bed, my 6 yr. old wants to make me breakfast in bed for the 1st time tomorrow. Eggs in the micro.(something he learned from his Aunt) What a sweetie pie. (But I know it will be early, and I'll have to choke it down with a smile) Mmmmmmm, I love eggs. These are the best I've ever had.

For now,I hold to my first thoughts. HP or BC. You all have good noodling tonight. Hopefully, 1 of us will have a psycic vision in our dreams as to where the puck is hidden. Nite all, see ya tomorrow.

Welcome Rushmore...your 2nd line has given me the most to think about all night, it's funny, and it's true :)

The hokey pokey would make the Med so much easier to find

Rushmore

As for my thoughts,

I think the med will be some place without a lot of hills. "just trek up and down every hill - Work your brain, your legs, it will be fun, - If you have some time to kill" From these lines it seems to me that they are saying if you don't work your brain, you will trek up and down every hill, in turn killing (wasting time)doing this, when you should be on flat land. And walking through the hilly parks would be as effective as knitting (an activity to waste time) Just my thoughts.

Rushmore, a bit of reverse psycology, that's superb noodling, first I've heard of that and I like...maybe just because it's different, but I like it

Thanks Teddy, I was a psych major after all! That was my first reaction to the clue.

Being Clever?

Sorry, it's a line from the movie "Fight Club"...just watched it recently and I've been saying it to a lot of people...seemed to fit

it's worht a rent though...It's not what you think it's about...fighting really has NOTHING to do with it, its superb, the writers are some crazy thinkers...I bet they could find the Medallion :)

Hey Teddy- You checked our site out yet? It was made for people like you, out of town but still followin the hunt. If there's any parks that you want to see, put in a request and I'll put it on there.

I don't think its on the strip, my guess is Red Rock Canyon

TeddyKGB3

Marley...Like I said, I just need to keep my cane(medallion) detection skills in check, but an offstrip casino is still possible...maybe at the 777 machines??? I've rules Hoover Dam and Redf Rock out of it(in st. paul)...and I'll DEFINITELY check the site out

Rushmore, I liked your thought about it not being at a hilly place, but I think I'd have to disagree. It says it will be fun if you work your legs, so I'm assuming they're saying you'll find the medallion (that would be fun) going to a park with hills (where you'd work your legs). That said, it kind of leads me to believe it may be a large park, unless there are smaller or midsized parks that are on different levels or have noticeable hills, but I doubt this considering it would be hard to have many hills in a smaller park

Teddy-Thought that might be a county park, not a city...maybe the stratosphere, you can see far and wide! LoL I love Vegas!

Rushmore

TMK - You present the definite flip side of how to interpret this, that too makes sense. I may be (I probably am) overanalyzing it. But, at the very least, it gives one something to consider.
