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.

It's only clue 3. I don't think you're going to find throngs of diggers yet. Even if people have their favorites, it's unlikely many of them will expend the energy at this point on what is likely to not be anything more than a hunch. And if you think you know exactly where it is, you're probably guilty of "circular thinking" (inside joke).

Every year it is really cool to find out that where you dug on day 3 was closer than where you end up on day 10. Get out there and dig!

Some people come here with little to contribute so their only way to get attention is to make a nuisance of themselves. Since their goal is not to be liked, but rather to get attention, you can't stop them with insults or reprimands. All you can do is deny them what they came for and ignore them. To say your posts aren't even worth the effort of making a comment ends up being a stronger statement than anything you could say with actual words most times.

lol. I am not going to jump to any conclusions early. Avoiding forests and going to hills can be anything. Hidden, Highland, BC, Linwood,Phalen, Newell, Cherokee, Conway all have wooded areas that can be avoided and all have some hills (maybe not Hidden, but it sure has tides) The point is, it can be anywhere.

Knit means to contract into wrinkles (knit her brow) but I'm sure that has nothing to do with anything (reading too far into it)......

I actually don't think Shakespeare has anything to do with the medallion, but others think there may be some connection.

Longfellow quote:

"Happy, thrice happy, every one Who sees his labor well begun, And not perplexed and multiplied, By idly waiting for time and tide!"

Thrice happy = in a park for the 3rd time = Indian Mounds, & what others?

I wonder if it's BC because they have that waterpark and the "fun and slide" and "time and tide" can play into that as well--where should I go...BC or Highland????

The only thing is Homer and Dumas didn't write in English. Someone else translated their words using that phrase. Maybe that doesn't matter, but I would still hesitate to think we're supposed to get an author out of a phrase unless it's something more recognizable.
