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 just got home from Merriam and if it's 36 acres...I'm 15 feet tall. They have to have the wrong info on that site. Seems much closer to 10 to me.

Dave-BC is in St. Paul. There is one part by Hwy 61 that has caves and picnic areas. There is a park n rec area that is between Ruth and Winthrop and that is also in St. Paul. There is another between McKnight and Century that is in Maplewood. So PLEASE QUIT saying that BC is not in St. Paul.

Maybe I'm grossly over estimating how much area 36 acres covers, but it's not real big, Angie.

We had this discussion a while back but Mears Park is two acres, so the question then would be is Merriam 18 times bigger than Mears? It's possible. If it's not 36 acres it's not far off of that.

As for BC, it's a regional park, which means it's not run by the city of St. Paul. But part of the park is indeed within the St. Paul border.

Was out at BC today. A few diggers. Got filmed by "Cold Feet" film crew. Not convinced on BC. Merriam looked waaaaaay too small to me, but I didn't really walk around much.

Merriam is still my favorite though I still think Linwood is a possibility. Belevedere might be but I've never actually been there to see it so can't say for sure. I would say BC is still in the running, except for I don't know if you can see any sort of broadcast towers from there. I could tell you my Linwood theory though if you want.

Wouldn't it be funny if they hid it somewhere that they thought would be ok, only to have the police come by later and block it off?

Angie, try going to www.nahf.com and look for "No Time For Cold Feet"

Well Linwood is situated on a hill. On one side is a bluff with a steep drop but on the east and west it also slopes downwards. on the east side is a hilly wooded area, but far from that, on the west side as you go down the hill there's a parking lot and right next to that is the playground. And then it goes down some more to the south and that's where the baseball fields are. So it fits all of those clues. And then with the view it has, I'm sure you can see a broadcast tower somewhere as well as other things that are possibly in and on the air.
