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.

The Pioneer Press and Cub Foods will host three special events for participants in the Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt who gather at the newspaper’s downtown St. Paul headquarters to await publication of clues:

“Vulcan Night” – Saturday, Jan. 26: The Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt heats up with a visit from the Winter Carnival Vulcans. The hunt’s presenting sponsor – Cub Foods – and Hormel, also a Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt sponsor, will participate. KOOL 108 and the station’s KOOL KAT mascot will help host the event and prize drawings.

“Tropical Night” – Sunday, Jan. 27: Colorful leis and Hawaiian shirts will brighten the night in time for an appearance by the Winter Carnival Royal Family. The WLOL party van will pull up to help host the event and prize giveaways.

“Movie Night” – Tuesday, Jan. 29: The Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt goes Hollywood with Marcus Theatres and K102. Treasure hunters can watch movie trailers, munch popcorn and win theater tickets, posters and other prizes. K102 will sponsor an appearance by the Rodeo Renegades danceline and a drawing for rodeo tickets.

Time: All events will be held from 11 p.m. until midnight. Events will take place, as scheduled, unless the medallion has been found. Call the Treasure Hunt Hot Line for the current status of the hunt at (651) 228-5547.

Evenin' everyone! All of a sudden, I like Hillcrest, and here's why. It's next to St. Leo's school. A "carnival hunter" is a lion = Leo.

I'm outta my mind!

I was working today so no scouting going on...except in my out of mind state. (I'm not sure why they pay me to work this time of year.)

I really believe it's not Highland. Not because the clues couldn't fit, but because it's too early to give the park away.

I think the high land thing is a clue to a river park on the bluffs. That would leave Cherokee and Mounds.

Of course I've been wrong this early before. Hopefully tonight's clue will help.

Hi Scribe! They're the only thoughts rumbling around the space between my ears most of the day.

I'm curious what park Leelabell and Me2 were being so secretive about earlier. Any ideas?

Dalliance...did you like that little comment I put on the Hillcrest description? You're the first one to say anything to me about it. Good job.

Scribe, you available tomorrow for an hour, say about 1:00 PM - location to be determined? Much depends upon tonite's clue...

Ter, when do you quit working?

Thanks just going to check thing out and see if there is any pattern to the clues in the past.

It all comes together, piece by piece, inch by inch, to by fro, one clue at a time.

Sorry Timmers..That must have been part of a large group of posts that I skipped over.

Wow, what a lot of posts today. Don't think I can even hope to slog through them all. Right now I'm leaning towards Battle Creek Zone #1 but I have several other places I consider in the running. Been getting a headache trying to figure out the time and tide, fun and slide thing. And usually when that happens, it means it's referring to the thing the treasure is hidden in and I never had a shot at figuring it out anyway.

Yeah Green! I will have to shuffle some ice time but my coaches are already aware that I do this...they think I'm really out there!

Estaban, I realized the strangest thing last nite...

In reading about Conway, the description (yours) o'the park goes hand-in-glove with the clues that year...

It was really shocking to read that!

HI Allison! I hope Hidden Falls is still on your list. And, what of the recent noodling on Hillcrest?

Green - I'm working....just not very well. Tomorrow I really have to keep my mind on the work though. After that it's another story.

Hello, Still don't get how this talking thing works. Possibly someone can enlighten me. Anyhow, here's some brainstorming. Hunter's pride=loins. Lions club, Lyon st. by bc, Any playground, statue or school mascot possibly? Tide soap, Time magazine, tide-diet. Possibly more to trip over goods. Spark mabey south end of park. Just some thoughts here. Leaning towards battle creek.
