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.

Quotes and capitalization is taken straight from the paper--this is not a call-in--I am typing from the actual paper.

In '86 - Highland , clue 5 was this:

People travel

Through the air,

Without an engine

To keep them there.

It was talking about the walkway bridge over Montreal.

I didnt say it was a mistake, I just was wondering if anyone had any ideas why they would put it in quotes.

Pirates--Yes, I live very near the paper, and they sold at exactly 11 pm tonight. Sometimes I will phone in the clue, but it usually loses the capitals, and periods and other style marks, so tonight I did not call it in--I waited until I got home.

HIYA...yes I am....

Can anyone confirm? The quotes HAVE to mean that someone at some point in time said it...has to be documented somewhere

Teddy--I would read nothing into the quotes. I don't think you will find this one in Bartletts....

Look for something in and on the air. in and on the air the air Someone find me the other "R" in that clue so I can find the word HARRIET

a basketball isnt "on the air". A radio station is.

I believe the quotes would be indicative of medallion hunters asking for a clue.

I'm headed for bed. Something will fall together soon and we'll all be in the parks...but for now. Sleep!

how do you folks get como from that? I get space needle and radio towers I guess.... just don't feel right. I am thinking Indian Mounds park... overlooks holman field, the turn (or point as in tip) in the river. Fire pits (spark), hills, woods, playground. Plus the bural mounds are well fenced these days so there wouldn't be so much worry about people digging them. still stretching by the 4th clue!

Its not gonna be at Harriet

I think in the air eludes to the medallions placement...and on the air...have to see radio towers PLZ...it can't be Newell
