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 tried to strike up a convo or smile at some of you, didnt get much back. I had on a white duke hat, was standing around the PP for a bit until i left for the parks, anyone recognize that?

I saw the Medallionators big van, looked nice, like the artwork

Don't worry about it, 2k2. You're here with us, and you did get up the gumption to come down to MomPress.

Nope, I didn't notice the white Duke hat... But I don't look at hats, I look at faces.

Yeah... In green garb... With Como poking his head outta my jacket. And white Muffs for good luck! :D

there's been a few years where there wasn't enough snow, and they still found a way to make the hunt go into the late clues.

There is this spot at Mounds, as I'm sure at a lot of parks, where all of the fallen leaves have piled up before the snow fell. You could hide that thing anywhere under the leaves in that area and you would still need to seperate each leaf to actualy find it. Even without any snow at all. Those who've been there know what I'm talking about. There's this 50' dug up circle around a certain picnic table that was almost knee deep in fallen leaves. After digging through the snow around that area, it was pretty much the same on that whole side of the park. I'll probably walk around there tommorrow kicking around some piles.

Mounds is not a "park n rec." Ittiz simply a "park."

The Clue Writer is not gonna tell us twice, in two different clues, The Med's hidden in a St. Paul Park.

"park n rec" means xactly that - a park and a rec!

Ain't gonna be at Mounds!!!! :D

There is not a single "Mounds" anything rec center - not even a candy bar - listed by St. Paul Parks and Recreation by the name o'Mounds. Goes from Marriam Park to North Dale.

Ain't gonna be at Mounds. :D

You know how it is? Until you are Totally convinced it IS the correct park, You take your park then fit it into the clues. That's what I usually do until clue 7 or 8 when it reverses and you then fit the clues into the park like it should be. Right now I've been noodeling so much I look around my yard and make them all fit. Planes, Radio/TV antenneas, flags etc.

Heeeeeeeeelp!

This is true, Mounds is controlled by/carred for by Saint Paul Parks and Recreation.

Not all parks are recs, but all recs are parks! :D

Here's the link:

Now, tell me if you find "Mounds" on it.
