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 didn't say I was having a good day. I was just commenting on the weather. There's not a cloud in the sky, the sun's getting stronger as the days grow longer and is shining, shining, shining!

I noticed yesterday my lilies are starting to come up... What a beautiful day. I should go out and work in the yard. In a t-shirt.

Hay, Eags!!!

About 7:00, I'd guess. But you know, we'll be there arguing, I mean discussing, where Ittiz gonna be hid long after The Clue comes out.

JOE!!!

You missed yours, too, Eags, your special one, like I missed mine.

How about a road trip medallion hunt? We've still got full snow cover here, and I doubt that even a few days of melt will hurt it much.

I guess we've got some legwork to do, eh? Get Mom Planet to declare this area a sister city, and get her butt up here and hide the medallion. Something tells me she aint gonna buy it. But I can dream.

Good point, Ares.

Nah, Eags. Ain't gonna happen. MomPress ain't gonna buy in to it.

Hhhuuummm... I just thought o'sumpin...

San Jose *is* a sister city. Midknight-Rider paper... Can't remember the name o'the paper rite off the top o'my head - funny name. Inee-hoo... Used to be a Med Hunt out there, too. Of COURSE, I'm sure it never had the history ours does - our is "so special." But, there was one and they had to stop it cuz those fruits and nuts couldn't behave and dug everything up and destroyed and were just generally rotten and bad. Not like us perfect folk here in MN, you know?

Well, my fiend used to live in SJ and hunt... I'll have to ask her what ittiz like to hunt w/no snow. It doesn't snow (or rain) in southern California, you know. Maybee we can get some ideas of what a Med would be hidden in when there's no snow...

Me? I think I'll bee pretty suspicious if I see an orange lying around some park...

I love the computers here at school! hehehe

Sprydoggy- That wasnt my words, I was showing him his bio from www.nahf.com I was asking him who he paid.

And by the way, we (Jake Steve and I) were there after clue 6, before the clue you refer to was even out. And yes, it is on camera.

Hell yeah, that would rock, everyone would all of a sudden start showing up at parks, for a couple weeks in the middle of winter, dressed in costumes and stuff. It would look like Halloween

Just cuz you have a cane doesn't mean you're old.
