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.

NV, the gates at Phalen are open until after dark, at least they were open at 6 when I was there yesterday. And maybe that's what clue two is. You may knit your brow when you see the closed gates. Use your brain, your legs you might need to figure out another way to get into the park by walking a distance.

Good morning. I just read Clue #4. My very first thought was Newell - again?!?!? It fits. Surely, they wouldn't put it there so soon. Anyone else thought the same thing?

snow mommy, gotta go scope it first... I'm still not totally convinced

randy, I don't think so, is that a beer or a liquor? I think the closest to that name I can get is frangelico.

When it was at Phalen, the gates remained open even throughout the night. Police patroled the area to make sure of safety and property.

Good morning, Ares. So will you discuss the clue? My first thought this morning was Newell. I don't know a lot about Phalen's area.

i'll discuss whatever comes up for discussling, td. honestly, newell did pop into my mind with this clue alone, as there are a lot of similarities between it and 2000. nothing else though has pointed me towards newell.

Good Morning all I have to go pretty quick but I would like to see what you all think. As I was reading over some of the entries here I saw something in regards to Crosby..... Something about Elway, and Gannon. I took this "on and in the air" to mean football looking at crosby i see a Stewart St. too and then i think of the N.F.L. playofs being on the air now and I am trying to think if any of these people are announcers but the onyl one I can think of possibly is Elway. But I dont think so I just wanted to get this in so when i get back in about an hour I can see how you all shoot this idea down. maybe some of you can even help me with more ideas about this area I see other parks very near hear Ahhhhh........Who KNows
