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.

Actually THG, I was talking with someone about that at the PDG. If they would ever hide the medallion in a copy of one of your books some year.

That would be flattering Kids. In that case, I would be hiding phonies all over the park and messing with everyone.

Maybe with the "time to kill" book by John Grisham, maybe if the next clue has any Irish angle, you could piece those together to get the street name, but thats a big if

yes! I was not talking a bit ago because I went upstairs to get another hot cider. my husband went to help a friend work on his kitchen and I told him he could use the excuse that I have the "chills" and he needed to get home soon with some pop. :)

Yeah Ian. What exactly does "Geocaching" entail?

:-)

Anyway, I had never been to those two parks before. They both have cool areas for the re-Hash bash, but Crosby's is better.

Get a tupperware container or coffee can, fill it full of junk you don't want, hide it, save the coordinates, log them on to the website, and people will search for it. Saint Paul Parks with MY geocaches:

Como, Highland, Hidden Falls, Crosby

I have not registered the two new ones online yet. I will be adding two a day for the rest of the hunt.

krazy huntress

dug at cherokee this morning- only found a blue bag buried in the snow with a brand new pair of tennis shoes in it! here's a thought-> the medallion was hidden in a "knitted" yarn pouch in '95 at Battle Creek- reference to that park at all??????

IS the ' geocahing' a way to fill time in anticipation of the big hunt?? or just a way to mess with is out there hunting for this hunt??
