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 one would force anyone to sign in...and they can use their cooler handles. Not like we would know who we are by our real names anyways...well except for a few of us. It would just give us a head count.

I did do a quick head count at one point early on. I figured about 75 then, and there were a few others that came a bit later.

Well I'm back and done catching up on posts and messages and email and such. But now I'm starting to feel pretty tired.

I was almost the last to leave the rehash bash. I left about 4:15 with only Cluemaster and his daughter still there. Actually come to think of it, they left at that point too, so I guess there wouldn't have been anyone there at 4:30.

Ter, where'd you hear the CC buttons are becoming collector's items? (I said they would be, five years ago!!! LOL!!! And everybuddy looked at me like I've two heads!)

Like BIG collectors items, like on e-bay? Or just around here?

I don't think they've gotten to be an e-bay item yet....just have gotten some forwarded emails from Greg Sax of folks looking for them...and they've wanted all of them.

It was if she was driving on the wrong side o'the road...

Allison, son... You're starting to get a rep for shutting places down... :D

'98s are gone. That's right. They'll be the most coveted, but I'll never sell mine. It's when this all started...this meeting other hunters face to face.

I wish the finders had shown up today. That would have been sooo cooler to meet them.

I think I've two... And like you, Ter, there is no way on this earth I'll part with mine. Nope.

To those of us - like you and me - that were a part o'the beginning... They're worth more than just about anything.

The spotters were in the grey car. They are always watching me.

I hate to leave anything early. You never know what you might miss. Plus I remember some people saying they might get there late, but I figured if they weren't there by 4:15 they weren't coming. I guess I wasn't entirely correct.

Hey DD! Those spotters are simply everywhere!!!

DDave, I truly believe ittiz ME they're always watching... They keep moving the damn Med!

Ter, he's a typical 16 year old, but pretty sweet kid. I really enjoyed talking to him at "Bury'em" and then at MomPress. And his mom is JUST A LOVE!!! Very, very nice lady. They were very gracious winners - even Stat Man - on Friday.

Speaking of really nice 16 year olds. Tim the hunter didn't show today. I was hoping to see him. He was sooo bummed that the hunt ended early.

So anyway, I suppose I should remind everyone who didn't get their fill of the hunt that the Mock Hunt will be coming up in a few weeks. I post the clues on my site, mail them to the members of my site, at least the ones I have valid addresses for, and I usually post them on here as well. The prize isn't that big, hardly anything at all actually, but for those of you who say you're in it just for the glory of the hunt, here will be your choice. And I promise that I will hide it before the 1st clue and that once there, it will stay there until found! hehe.

Terry--I understand Mr. Tim had a church function. Yes, I think he is a very mature young man. I was nowhere near that settled at his age--and possibly not at my current one.

I can't remember what got in the way here for that hunt last year, Allison, but I sure hope we get a chance to participate this year.

Hey J! That was a very sweet note you guys left.

DD - that's right. I had forgotten that. He is a very settled guy for his age. He's been raised well. His parents have to be very proud.

We were gonna leave it attatched to some Faygo, but all we had was some nasty Diet Root Beer from a concert, and we didnt wanna leave yall some whack, flat stuff to drink, so we just taped it to the window, knowing whoever showed first would get it.
