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 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....

You know Lisas Mommy, This site is full of info both good and bad. I thought that originally too but if you dont throw your ideas into the mix you may be missing something. You could just sit back and watch the posts but then you too are one of those people that are following the group.

Just a thought on the "hey, hey, you say" clue and the Como theory...As has been stated earlier by myself and some others, Willie Mays was known as the "Say Hey Kid", he was called that because he was known for saying, "Say hey, let's play two" as in a doubleheader. Could hiding it at the same park two years in a row be considered a doubleheader? My brain hurts...

How many lurkers do you think watch our discussion without having anything to add???

Hundreds.

Is that cheap ???

Naw

Is it rude???

Naw

or is it acceptable??

Sure it is. It's a public forum and we choose to discuss the hunt here. We could always make our own forum but, would that be rude?

It's not like people won't find it without this forum. As much as many people don't want to believe this.... by the time THE PARK is discovered it's simply a matter of who stumbles upon it first.
