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.

Poke around. Trees are the first to get dug up, so don't bother with those. Poking is the quickest.

Someone posted they were kicked out of Hidden the year it was there because it was after park hours so I don't think the curfew forecloses Crosby.

Kurt Condie taught me to poke everything. However, one year we chopped.

I don't even think about what I'd do with the money!

When we started hunting together 33 years ago, we were planning a wedding so would have used the money towards that....then later the kids...and bills...but it's never been a reality so I quit thinking about the money and just went with the thrill of the hunt.

Thaks LL. I just got home, so I haven't even bothered to start slogging, what with a new clue coming asap. It will probably change all my previous assumptions and still not tell me anything.

What park is right off warner road, and by the river?

I like mounds because of that line to look for something in and on the air, but in a different way then most...I think of htat airline company hanger below at Holman with "Million Air" labeled on it.

Tami Baribeau

Tim-- I'm pretty sure that my parents would claim it for me :o) How old are you? (not to turn this into a dating service, haha)
