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.

medallion master - I couldn't figure out how to get my e-mail to come up in the preferences, so I put it in the personal info spot or whatever they call it.

Nothing there 'til Saturday. I did see the buttons in the carnival office. The carnival ended a 26 year tradition this year-no commemorative plates. My wife is very disappointed.

Except for the regional parks, all of the parks and/or rec centers say "Park and Recreation, City of St Paul" on the parks sign. Methinks this is a bogus clue! Doesnt actually say anything.

thanks for spoiling the fun marley. unfortunately for us, you're right :( although i believe phalen also has st paul parks and rec on it so its not limited to just the non-regional parks.

That's to bad, I never knew about plates. Do you have pictures of them on the site. I'm just going to stick with buttons. When I find them. Estate sales and garage sales.

Well, I am gonna have to catch some zzzzzzzz's. MM if you like you can e-mail me, I may log on after work tomorrow eve,after 6pm, but was hoping I would know by then if I had someone to go with. By clicking on my name under Personal Info it shows my e-mail address, you would have to type it into your e-mail personally, you cannot click on it to send me a message. If that works, I'll check for your message tomorrow. Hope that works.

Ian, perhaps we will have to talk soon about that record, or the song on the record, sometime after all this crazyness.

incidentally, you folks out there who may have added me to your address books may want to run a virus scanner on your machine. i just got the snow white virus. i'm assuming it came from someone i've told to email me. of course, like an idiot, i deleted it before thinking that i could track down who it came from.

Hi all, it was good seeing everyone tonight. We took a spin by Langford and as you all know it has no parking lot. It also does not fit some of the other clues. I went back (again) to Merriam and looked around. It looks okay. I am stuck on the word wreck. There is a used car place one block away - that word has to mean something.

usual suspect.

save yourself some time and just list the park that DO have a parking lot.

Just doing some research and I see Merriam is listed officially as a "Park and Recreation Center".

I'm starting to think the cluewriter found some really sneaky place to hide the Medallion and doesn't care if we're all in the right park by this weekend.
