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.

For the record medallion master, I have no idea what you're talking about and I suspect the rest of the people on the board would just as soon see you quit selfishly indulging in these worthless ramblings. I won't address you again.

:)Me2 &Jake It seems that all the parks have "div of St Paul Parks and Recreation" on their signs- All parks still in the runnin!

Hey on a positive note, it could get up to 50 this weekend. Maybe all the snow will melt so no digging.

That's the only word that hasn't been used yet. Maybe the next clue will be one about double division?!

So here are the parks that seem to me to fit the clues at least somewhat (for some I don't have all the information like whether you can see a tower or what exactly the hills are like):

  • Merriam
  • Linwood
  • Belvedere
  • Indian Mounds
  • Battle Creek
  • Duluth & Case
  • Newell
  • Orchard
  • Highland
  • Margaret
  • St. Clair

    These are the parks that as far as I can tell either have or may possibly have all of these features:

    • Hills
    • Area away from woods at the bottom of a hill
    • Visible broadcast tower
    • Parking lot
    • Playground

    Well now that I have my park list I think I'm ready for bed. Merriam is still my favorite, but I can't say I've looked at all the others, and I can't say I'd rule out any of the ones on the list without looking at them first or until the next clue comes out.

    I think a rec center is likely, but a couple of those parks I would need something else to rule them out as it's possible park n rec might somehow be a generic term for any park. Merriam followed by Linwood and Belvedere would be my most likely choices.

    I took Jake by Baker 2 days ago

    Thu, 01/24/2002 - 2:36 AM Permalink
    jakeinge

    he just put is "one way" glases on and did not want to beleive that it was possible to be anywhere but Highland and then Mounds....and then back to Highland---I really like Baker- I would have to go to Belvidere -thats over by me too!
