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.

No, Mac. But it looks like I'll be swinging by there 2day. I'll know more later...

My schedule's gone all to hell now that folks are at 50 billion parks.

Crap... another thought that leads me to COMO - as much as I hate that idea..

"So not just any fool" Remember the line "fool me once-shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me!"

GREEN.., Maybe the clue writers meant that one for YOU?

PWM, sounds like it!!! And funny you should mention that... As I was driving home last nite, that's what *I* thought!!!

Marley, give me a break. ("Which arm, green?") Ittiz not just due our stuttering vegetable of a Clue Writer that I think Como. There are specifics in the clues that point to that park.

oh, god, pwm, you're right. green has had her fair share of the limelight in the press before!

although since not just any fool will be able to find it, everyone turn to the back pages of your treasure hunters guides. look at all the parks with no maps. my money says its in one of those. steve, next year's edition's gonna have to have maps for everything! lol!

Ittiz a duality o'rec, nothing more. Means drive your car.

To me. To me. I stress that that's my take. Does not mean I'm right.

Oh. Otay. Glad you're not laughing at dome/mode, double division, toing and froing, and my dualities!

Phillip, if it were me, I'd take the whole week.

When the gods call, I must yield. Ittiz a religious thing, you know.

Morning All!! Question-- Could they put it in a Match Box and then Bury it in the Sand?

Yeah, I want to take the whole week Green... Boss says two days is ok..

There are no litter boxes in any St. Paul Park.

No.

Green can't be a spotter.. She spent an hour last year talkin me into Battle Creek. A spotter would never spread DISINFORMATION!

So what are spotters supposed to do anyway?

Carl The Hunter

I ust had a brain fart (and boy does in stink in here) may of the larger parks Como, HF, Crosby, others??? have adpted a no-mow policy returning the Grass to prairies (budget cuts I believe)

Fart 2: Maybe the stuttering is actually indicitive (2 point word) of dual meanings to clues.

Phillip, you're lookin' a titch peaked. Have you taken your temp lately? I bet you've got achy bones... Ache all over. Headache, nausea...

Yup. You're pretty damn sick, buddy.

DanielleMaria

I'm not talking Litter Boxes green-- how about sand boxes- ya know where the slides and swinsa are at parks?

pwm, the general theory is that spotters are out there to a) know when the medallion's been found, b) ensure that hunters are searching and not destroying c) if you're green moving the medallion from phalen to newell (or was it como?). they travel in packs of 2 to 4 at nite, and sit in their cars appearing to read the paper at lunch time.

Danielle, the only thing - only thing - The Med will be buried in is snow, leaves, stuff like that. Never will you have to dig below the uppermost crust o'terra firm.

#1 Commandment o'Hunters: Search, do not destroy.

Eags

Why couldn't it be under sand in a sandbox? That terra isn't firma and is meant to be dug up...ittiz not destruction. What's your take on that?

Fri, 01/25/2002 - 8:49 AM Permalink
Phillip Diskerud

Sethmon he has been checkign out this site to see where hunters are the other day he was talking about it.

Would that be destroying? Playing in the sand?

green, there is a poopy can and poop bags at a/a. so in a convoluted kinda way that is a litter box.

Hhhuuummmm... I really don't think so. Where do you draw the line? (Annapolis...?) How far down is down? I still think it would rite on top o'the sand.

Well, have to go open up.. I will come back to the desk and check back in a little bit happy noodling.

I don't see why it couldn't be buried- haven't you ever walked along the beach and Tripped over a stick or rock or something?

green

Yup. (I trip on gum on the sidewalk...) You've a point, Danielle. I'd go sandbox for tripping in, but never ever the beach of any park, particularly in a year like this when ittiz been so warm. Too dangerous.

My opinion. Yes. Yes. OK? OK?
