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.

And don't forget - there's the Rehash Bash in the Park where the medallion now sits...on Sunday, February 3rd....usually around the noon hour. It's a potluck picnic sort of thing. Always fun to rehash the clues and dine with other like addicted folks!

Hey Randy. A diamond in the rough. Diamonds are formed from compressed coal. There's a fire pit in Phalen that was donated by the east side LIONS club, that would have charcoal in it. A group of lions is a pride (carnival hunter's pride, clue #3). Also, in clue #2 "have no fear". Fearless is another term for lionhearted. See where I'm going? You can see antenna from Phalen, lots of other stuff too...

Hello everyone. Glad I finally decided to join the club! Merriam looks good today. Lots of people out there and spoke with some of them and rev. some new ideas... Merriam has both the iv tower and the space needle in view. There is a re. center there a couple of good hills to slide down and a few baseball field. Also a school (with a flag of course) and several other good qualities. A friend of mines lives over by Battle Creek and said there is a lot of people over there as well... Mixed thoughts still

Terry I don't know if I could bear the shame if it was at Como since I refuse to dig there.....:-) I simply refuse to beleive they would be that cruel

Thank you Lisa's mommy, I agree with you 100%

Lisa's mommy - I like that they are extending this hunt. There have been too many short hunts recently - so I'm keeping an open mind and not crossing Como off my list. Of course that list is about 50 parks long - but Como isn't near the bottom.

Frosti...I am with you to some degree...a little deep in my opinion...at least in years past , I have dug so deep and tried to get multiple clues from each clue...when all along their have been minor clues in A SAID clue that would either indicate side of town park equipment etc.....any I am going to run for a bit

BBL I will see you all 2night....

Violent J You guys are awesome...keep it up...I love it!

Thanks Terry Valentine. I was out at Mounds last night and seen a few people gathered around some cars and wondered if any of them might have been one of you guys. Its so much fun doing this hunt every year, something nice to look forward to after Christmas.

I plan on scouting and doing some initial walk-throughs of some of the parks on my list - and will dig once I have the park narrowed down.

I was just messing with you TMK you didn't have to redo your list....

Fri, 01/25/2002 - 12:37 PM Permalink
Terry

Last Chance 007 - It has been found at night - but usually during the day. I don't know if that's because it's easier to see during the day or not.

I just got back from Indian Mounds park. At least a dozen searchers and the film crew again. Down the hill (and away from the woods) is a huge patch of cockleburs and tall wildflowers (in the rough). I till like Merriam more, but had to search that rough area.

Also; Diamond in the rough = Coal Could it be in a can of SKOAL? (prolly not, tobacco is NON-PC)

Tonite's clue will be the A-bomb of clues, so the 9-5 crowd can have a shot over the weekend.

It's no problem LM. I just wanted to let some of the hesitant people know how many of the Cooler Crew are downtown waiting for the paper. I know last night was your first time down there waiting for the paper, and meeting people from the Cooler Crew. And I think you had a good time. You also met up with people to dig with, which makes it more fun later on in the hunt, and also for future hunts.
