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.

jiggamatt, I mentioned Newell yesterday as many things seem to fit the park. But, honestly, I wasn't and DON'T believe it's there. I think we need to stay close to downtown St. Paul. Just my opinion.

I think Iam going to wait until next clue tonite to really start narrowing it down..

Clue Master

I feel that clue #5 is nothing more than stating that the park has on and off street parking. It'll probably be this years zinger clue.

WEREN, good thinking!!!!!!!

Treasure, why is that? I know they said the mounds were out of the picture but why harriet?

How come that's not in the rules froth, only Harriet is

Thu, 01/24/2002 - 12:26 PM Permalink
dave schneider

I think mounds

Harriett Island is in the rules for being off limits.

Some Nother Guy

I am thinking that the fifth clue could point to a park with a lot and streeet parking, but also the part will have an "amuse"ment park within.....

dave schneider

dont want any one to tare it up I would guess..

Nensea, Harriet was explicitly excluded in the official PP rules. Mounds is not officially off limits. Some folks just think it is.

Treasure Digger

BC is part of several people's list. But so is Linwood, Merriam, Como, Langford, etc.

IT'S NOT IN THE RULES BUT WHEN IT WAS THERE THE LAST TIME THERE WAS A BIG RUCKUS WITH THE NATIVE AM. AND THE CITY OF ST. PAUL SO THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT HIDE IT THERE ANYMORE

Definately think it's on the East side this year...BC and Mounds are close to each other which is why the clues fit both, just a matter of deciphering which one

Thu, 01/24/2002 - 12:30 PM Permalink
jiggamatt

yea, but that was the past, and it now says that th pp can terminate the hunt if it gets outta hand?
