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.

But the extra people mean extra business and if the business doesn't pay for the help, then one would have to question how they stay in business in the first place. If we wanted a private room, they could hit us with a fee, but they can't charge us just to show up. But I'm thinking if we don't tell them, then we're almost guaranteeing a bad experience. Maybe better yet I'll just walk over there after work tomorrow and talk to the person I know who works there and get her opinion.

Allison, I've an idea. Don't call. I think it can be taken care of.

I know it's an issue. I think a simple, non reservation type anonymous call might at least give them a heads up...and they can then prepare or not prepare as they see fit.

It would be similar to having the Xcel Center call them to let them know what time a concert of game would be starting or out.

So anyway, I've been pretty busy with my singles club and Mason lodge and other groups I'm involved with, so it's been hard to spend much time here. But the 18th is my last day of work and then I'm getting laid off, so at that point I should have lots of time for hunting and filming and posting.

Ian- Thanks for the coffee! Drank it all sloggin through 400+ Posts. Liked the palindromes!

Allison- good to see you! Are you planning another post carnival hunt? Last years was a good time, and I think I would have found it if I hadn't had to go out of town!

Green- it was good to hear from you!

GOOD MMMMOOOOOOORRRRRRNNNNNIIIIINGG!!

Hiyall! Sure is good to see everyone here gearing up for the HUNT! I was here lurking on the OLD board a couple weeks ago, and it was heating up then! Glad that the PP got us the 2002 board early, although I suspect Allison is right about how many posts there'll be before the thing even starts....

I'm thinking that "Dad" and I should be able to at least make an appearance at the Pre-Dig thing - hope to see some new faces there this year (as well as some familiar ones!!).

Anyhoo - best get going...thinking that coffee's gonna need another refill here pretty quick. Have a great day!

How much snow do y'all have left in St. Paul? I heard it was in the mid 50s yesterday in Mankato!

I'm sure this question has been asked and answered in past years, or maybe even this year, but there would be way too many posts to slog looking for it...so my question is: was there ever a year when there was no snow for the hunt? If so, how and where did they hide the medallion?

Liquor Lady

not much snow left now and my guess is alot more is gonna melt today. I don't know if theres ever been a hunt without snow, I havn't seen one yet since i've been digging.

Frosti

Lots of posts about hunts where there was no snow. The med has been hidden in everything from dirt to garbage from the sounds of it.

We have very little snow left, and with overnight temps in the 40's last night, we're not going to have any very soon.

the closest i've seen to getting any snow is sunday night into monday morning but they said it was going to be verry light snow.

ouch ll. there's something about your own kid's puke that's supposed to keep you from throwing up yourself. so when you almost do you know its bad.

Hey timmy the hunter if Allison Wonderbra is the best clue noodler in St Paul Than youre in a world of hurt Last year Wonderbra kept on and on on about DeSoto st and whatever that crack infested park was but he blew it last year big time! I called the park and location check last year cooler for yourself. This year again I will call the correct park before anyone else. Maybe he was distracted last year by the hopes of fame from the movie production,it sure seems like he was more interested in the movie crew than the cooler crew. Now ABC is going to be here to cover the hunt so Wonderbra will be occupied trying to get his face on the tube.

It's probably best we don't go there. However if I should cut my foot off while digging, I'll look for you.
