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.

hey treasure what do you think about phalen?

I am wondering are the clues written all at one time after the med is hidden or do they write them each day and if so on each day the writer because of the snow melting is going to drag this out as long as they can and not give us easy clues to go by.

One thing that i am thinking is Hay Hay Ok Ok is they are repeating the words as in repeating the same place as last year.

Do you know where they found it last year There is a baseball field play gound for the kids and on the other side of the parking lot there are hills far from the woods.

Park N rec could mean Park and Recreations as in St. Paul Parks and Recreation and maybe has nothing to do with a rec center.

I like Battle Creek. There is a park, a rec center, parking lots, and street parking. There is lots of space. There are a lot of hills with woods.

Is Merriam Hilly? BC sounds okay. I think they may be waiting till the weekend to drop the real bomb.

I like Tim the hunter. Just kidding. Well, I do, but not in the way you all are thinking. Anyways, for those who are complaining about the wording of these clues, it seems there is some consensus that we have no idea what park that it's in. That seems to lend itself towards a long hunt, which I think most support. So that seems like a good thing...

The only thing about battle creek is that I went into a web for MN and went into the Goverment records and looked into city Parks and Picnics areas and Battle Creek is not on the list either is PH.

I think so too. drawing it out is more fun. some people can't really get away until the weekend anyhow.

Morning y'all It hasn't been foud so that is awsome I think I'm going to BC this beautiful day.

Thu, 01/24/2002 - 8:00 AM Permalink
JANIS MOHS

Mary, I think a big one because we don't have much snow cover and all the small parks would be dug too fast! Only my opinio.
