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.

i've been afraid that it would be found before i had a chance to get out & look too! if it can hold out one more day!

lol! Fair enough Guide.

Morning LL. I haven't had any revelations overnight. I've dispatched my crack scouting team to check a few locations today and report back.

Thanks Janis.. I appreciate it. So all anyone gets from that clue is the rec center then?

TREASURE HUNTERS GUIDE, How will I be able to say hello to you if I don't know what park you like? By the way are you going to dig today?

Does it have to be a rec center or could they be refuring to St. Paul parks and recreations.

I think its in a knit hat, or in a tide box

wonder what they mean by "take your wreck" it definately works for me but some people actually drive nice cars!

fwiw, i really think it's a rec center.

Thu, 01/24/2002 - 8:18 AM Permalink

well i was actually thinking that the park-n-rec is going to limit it to a rec center. (duh) perhaps even to the point of it being someplace that is traditionally known exclusively as a park, but that also shares a name with a rec centre. phalen falls into this category. don't know which other ones do though.

MQ the first thing I thought was the car races at Ph they would drive old wrecks.

isn't phalen's rec center under construction?

maybe there is a service station w/the same name as the park nearby

JS there is no parking around PH on the streets as far as I know.

The ice races at Phalen have been cancelled. However, the clue writer would not have known this. It was in the paper this morning.

Budget Towing is not too far away from Duluth & Case, following the wreck line of thinking.

drove by phalen last night & they actually had the gates open! i don't know if it's there but it felt better than mounds

Jenny Schuette

How do the other clues fit Phalen anyway? And where is the park and rec center in Como?

JANIS MOHS

DartHead, someone said last night the races were cancelled.
