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.

St. Anthony Avenue and Wilder Street, is the largest park. Its oak covered knolls provide a relaxing setting for summer picnics and winter sledding. Tennis courts, skating rinks, football, soccer and baseball fields within the park offer additional recreational opportunities. Merriam Park also has a gymnasium and recreational programs run by St. Paul Parks and Recreation and an outdoor Play area for kids. what do ya think?

This is clue 6 from last year.... Part of it sounds kind of familiar:

The prize is at a place with lots of space Where riding around can be fun But you'll have to move off base If you hope to be the victorious one

"Lots of space" refers to Como Park, one of the largest public spaces in St. Paul. "Riding around" refers to the rides at the small amusement park north of the medallion's hiding place. "Moving off base" tells hunters not to look on any baseball fields in the park.

TD I am in Eagan, I have a sitter for my 13 month old but unfortuately I have to pick her up by 10 or so I won't be able to go out after the clue tonight unless I go alone and leave her with my husband but I am a female and don't feel safe going out by myself....so I guess we will both be staying home tonight....

I think it is kinda rude myself but some people are just like that...they follow the "group" with out telling the group. I sometimes wonder if I should share certain things but I always end up sharing....

Clue Master

I think it's OK to lurk Randy. It's better they get an idea of what they're talking about before saying "It's at Como" 100 times, and filling up the board with really nothing to add. All we really do is try and point out the park, not the actual place to dig in the park.

I think snow will be gone by tomorrow night...suppose to get really warm tomorrow...I think it is in something inside of a log or a stick or a rock or something like that...not going to be out in the open especially with no snow cover.
