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 surface again. :)

On time, too!

Here's a question for the veterans, how much does the start date of the medallion hunt fluctuate from year to year? What's this year's start date? Is it the 20th?

Yes it is the 20th, and It doesn't flucuate much.

How can I be a soccer mom when I'm male and I have no kids? Try noodling that!

Hehe, I know you're having fun, but how the heck did you come up with soccer mom?

If I'm a soccer mom, is Scribe my 300 lb husband with a hairy back?

I didn't know you two got married, but you have the description down pretty well.

What kind of tools does everyone usually use for the hunt. Obviously a shovel, but what other things? I've always used different shovels and rakes.

ThoseMedallingKids

You use what your imagination deems will be useful. Shovels, rakes, hoes, ice chippers, golf clubs, pooper scoopers, hockey sticks.... just be creative

I, Rushmore, use my brain...

tim_the_hunter

You Green, start off by using your brain, and then have the common sense to ignore your brain and just follow everyone else. Hehe, jk. You come up with some very, some very, eh... imaginative ideas.

You're 1/2-rite, Timmers...

I only wish I had the common sense to ignore my brain...

I can read more into a single clue than 25 o'us put together!

Every year, EVERY YEAR, I tell myself I'm gonna do what Terry says and NOT pick a park and make the clues fit the park... And every year I tell myself I'm going to listen to Greg (Sax) and NOT read so much into The Clues.

And every year I end up hanging myself...

tim_the_hunter

I do give you that. You are the queen of over noodling. ONe of these years your elaborate idea will be correct though, and we will be thrown off.

The movie draws you to the correct park. So you are in luck that the film crew is coming again.

ROFLOLPMP!!!!

Yeah. NAHF does make it to the correct park and by virtue of them getting there, then so will I! Prolly the only reason I was at Como last year!

Outta the mouth o'babes!

rush, i keep a post hole digger in my trunk. not necessarily for medallion purposes, as believe it or not there are 50 other weeks in the year, but its a start.

Tue, 01/08/2002 - 4:37 PM Permalink
tim_the_hunter

That is what I was refering to. NAHF had it right because they followed Jake and Steve, and me there.

Tue, 01/08/2002 - 4:37 PM Permalink

... And DDY, Terry, Inks, Eags, MJ, Marly and His Queen, The Camo Crewe, Mom & Dad...

And a host of others. Jake and Steve did not have the market cornered on Como...

THey all followed us, or the newer clues.

Tim, can you ever escape your groupies?

Tue, 01/08/2002 - 4:48 PM Permalink
tim_the_hunter

I really don't have groupies TMK, except for when you said you were gonna follow me so you could find the medallion before me.

Tue, 01/08/2002 - 4:50 PM Permalink
ThoseMedallingKids

Yep, just so I can hear you say "And I would have found the medallion if it weren't for ThoseMedallingKids!"

Hey Green! Let's not forget that i had the park right last year before the first clue!! It has to be on film somewhere...

Tue, 01/08/2002 - 5:01 PM Permalink
tim_the_hunter

This year, I am arming my self with things to break stuff. Like hammers, and a spade shovel for dirt clumbs. If the medallion isnt in what i break i still have fun!
