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.

King Boreas aka Ian

is the fairgrounds considered a city park or are there any city parks in the fairgrounds?

Can any of you guys put up a FAQ page, so we can just answer with the link? There are tons of new people, and tons of people who don't slog. It would be greatly appreciated.

THANKS

The Fairgrounds is, and has been, off limits! PRIVATE PROPERTY!!!

You are better off searching on a golf course!!!

just got back from mounds, i may be switching my preference. although I did a swing around phalen just for fun and those towers to the north are really visible at night, even down on the island. i was on the island earlier today and couldn't see them. at night it's a whole 'nuther story. then again, it could be anywhere for all i know <sighs>

The Island Medians on Midwa Parkway are considered a public park though! Midwaydoes = carnival
