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.

Some call it bravery. Others call it stupidity.

Who is this scribe (hairy man or scary women) you speak of?

Scribe isn't real. Neither is Ares.

They're both just part of my over active imagination.

Long ago, when one was able to use HTML in the PPWC, there often were subliminal messages implanted into posts.

All that was needed was a white font............

Right, Ares?

Later Gators! It's Quittin Time!

Hello Everyone

I was on last week trying to slog through all the posts and then I come back today and wholly crap. I'm not even going to try to get caught up with all the posts. I think I left off last week where Green was giving Trent a hard time for only bringing one camera. Has she laid off Trent yet?

She hasn't exactly laid off him. More like catching her breath and having her attention diverted elsewhere.

Hello Mr Med, haven't heard anymore about trent since green beat him up (well maybe not beat him up) I've been through the posts and you're not missing much. People catching up, getting aquainted, memories of first and favorite hunts. Craziness and goofiness! Lots of people coming around!

Where is my good friend TimeSplitter? TS Anyone? Well Im out for some chow with the fam, but later we can discuss the right and wrong strategies of using the bible.

1st lesson:

"It is Ok to use the pages in the Bible as Toilet Paper. I want you to have a clean butt so it is Ok to do so." says I.

The warm up continues... If we lose all our snow maybe we can bring the hunt to New York- They seem to be getting plenty of the white stuff!

Ian- Thanks! I've been looking at them, but it's nice to have all the options and features laid out in front of you like that!

U.S.- Howdy! I shudder to think what it will be like when the clues start! I don't know how I'll keep up and still get out to dig!

Although it's looking like it will be a physically easy hunt

More looking than digging, not as cold.

Dave Dahl says (according to the hard copy o'MomPress...) all the snow will be gone by Friday...

Howdy, Mr. Med Hunter! Yeah. I've laid off Trent for the time being. I stink I lost the previous round... Only Ebbert's coming and yust bringing a 24 xposure, disposable camera. Big bummer and a definite two-thumbs down...

Ian, where can I read the rules? Has anybuddy heard if we can print all The Clues, like last year, with the 'Press logo-thighy on the top? Or is this year different and we HAVE to have them clipped from the paper?

Mr. Med Hunter, I *think* you've the rules on your site, but izz this a leap year? Is there a Jan 32nd this year?????????

HiYa Green! You didn't lose, you made some good points and hopefully gave them something to think about.

Your Royal Highnesses... I was yust yolking. Trent xplained a few logistic thighys to me that I didn't understand as to why snow's needed for ease of lighting. Over all, the heart-felt concept, he was right in tune with us all, and everbuddy's on the same wave length.

Trent MORE than knows when he asks for my opinion, he's gonna get it! You should see the guy's ear plugs... Huge things!

Trent is only coming with a still-camera? no video? That sucks. And I think there will be a lot of more talk and dialogue with this hunt....

LOL! No, Kids, I said "Ebbert..."

There will at least two cameras again. Same MO as last year. All systems go!

I know you're yolking! We can always bring the hunt to them! They've been getting all our snow over there on the east coast!

There aren't spotters. I guarentee it.

I think there are spotters, but not full time spotters

Such as they probably check on it everyonce in a while to make sure it hasn't been moved

Mon, 01/07/2002 - 6:31 PM Permalink
tim_the_hunter

But it has been moved in the past, a little off from the actual spot.

where was that??

tim_the_hunter

I dunno by heart. I think it was moved at least a few feet at Conway. I am not talking about across a field, just being turned over by shovels.
