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.

If you're going over hill and dale...the Dale St. bridge can be seen from W. Minnehaha...and it's due for a renovation that hasn't started yet.

Ivy! That's it. Couldn't think of that street name.

You're right about Langford. No lot. Hard to remember that. The last time it was there, parking was not an issue. Hardly anyone ever got out there to dig. It was as if most people didn't know it existed.

Scheffer is out. No hills....no lot.

Hamline doesn't have a lot either.

OK, does anybody know if any of the following offer on-street parking or not?

  • Dayton's Bluff Rec
  • Duluth & Case Rec
  • Linwood Rec
  • Merriam Rec

Duluth is sort of a dead end there also. It turns into case around a corner.

I wouldn't get rid of ones without woods, because didn't the clue say "get away from the woods" or soemthing?

mr. pirates

This is a private post to you, but between me, and you the first clue made me think of Como, and Newell

Carny - this is what I get from that clue. Clue # 2 -work your brain (BC Elementary),your legs (tons of ski trails)...if you have some time to kill (Battle). I think everything fits BC!

So Ian, what's the diff between a community rec and a neighborhood rec on that map?

Isn't BC a regional park? Does clue 1 mean a St Paul park or a Park in St. Paul?

Sorry to ask-but could one of you please repost so I can cut/paste the clue to stare at it a bit? -Thanks

At Duluth & Case the woods border one side of the park, there are some kids sledding down a small hill there. The Bruce Vento Trail was recently renamed to honor him. You can see towers from ther but I think they are Cell phone towers.

in and on the air could be refering to the afterthoughts of 9.11 and all the coverage in media about the war/battle all = BC

I like BC right now, until someone else makes a better case for a different park, or I figure it out, or a new clue. Not very sure. scds

The part of BC park down off 61 is called "BC Regional Park," but not the park off Winthrop, just says BC Park.

I cannot believe they would narrow things down this soon - on the 5th Clue? Hope the hunt does not end this soon!

Janis - In reality, the zoo and golf courses have always been off limits. Harriet Island in the rules this year has been open to speculation ranging from not damaging the new river front park to giving it a rest after the spring floods and the newer sod.

Merriam fits best so far. Has a lot, on-street parking, community center on site, and get this:a 2-way communications radio antenna(in the treasure hunters guide) can be seen from the ballfields! Clue #4 hey,hey,OK,OK -done 2ways. It's at MERRIAM!!!
