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.

Jake thinks maybe Highland. Green thinks BC.

As tradition dictates! Green is always in BC during the first few clues!ROFLMAF!

Jake,Highland? Could be.....but I'm bettin on the river parks.

The camera crew follows the diggers and prolly doesn't tell the park and rec dept. they are around.

Is anyone else out there printing the online clues INSTEAD of buying the paper and clipping them out? I guess the rules say you can print them, or even write them out by hand, instead of clipping them.

Those steps at HF are cool, as is the falls.

They do? Check it again,I thought they said they had to be clipped from the paper! After all that is the business the PP is in!

Ooo,

I beg to differ. The falls at Hidden Falls are a sewage outlet. It stinks like crazy in the summer.

Ian - don't really want to get into the unsavory activity on the board. I used to live around there and it was sometimes uncomfortable.

Anyway, HF is a pretty place to film.
