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.

Good Morning!

Allison - It's always wonderful to read your thoughts here. It's nice to see someone put such deep thought into things. I agree with that what-it's-in clue from last year. It was a tricky thing. It sure fooled me.

I guess it all really means there are no "rules" except those in the mind of the hider/clue writer.

See yaz all later!

I'm going to try to put terry's top ten on the back of my shirt but I may have to shorten the first two a little bit so I can fit them all on.

One of an ancient race of ice men who crossed the land bridge over the Bering Strait into North America. Back in the times of the wooly mammoth.

Fine all you guys can turn on me like a pack of wolves Jake inge Thx 1138 and few others had accused me of lying about calling the park and location, and all I said concerning Allison was he was way off and was responding to a previous post that Allison is the best in the cooler. Ihave given Allison plenty of credit in the past but last year he was preoccupied with the film crew if he can't admit that that's fine. I had the impression that we are here to help people look in the right location and that's all I was doing, I was not trying to keep things to myself. ARE YOU READY THX1138 and JAKE INGE LAST YEAR POST # 19,746 I called the park and location the facts are there I can't believe you guys would cause me to slog thru 20,000 post to find it but I did. But I had to defend myself from the slander of being called a liar ALSO nobody has said to Allison that they are sorry to hear he's being laid off well Alison let me be the first and Allisison I apoligize if I reacted to harshly, but lets face it we all particpate in the pride of calling the right location. I was at conway and was happy you called it that year. These other's accused of lying so I was upset

Like Ares and Green were saying how nice it is to call the right park it's close to the finding the 10,000 So it's not about ego it's about let's try are best to call the right park. Last year credit has to be given to people who called it like STEPPDOGG post # 19,158 "Como", The Shoveler post #19,204"heading out to Como soon see ya'll there" Emmy and Hannah's mom post # 19,226 "leaning towards Como" Ares post # 18,857 "leaning towards Como" Regg post #18,887 "leaning towards Como #2 on his list later post switched Como to #1 on his list Good job Regg! Leah Logan was at the frog pond post #19,092 hey she was still in the right park. And of course Brandon Spry who called the park AND location POST #19,746

Is this a bad time to say good morning?

Just a quick point on the topic Mr.Spry. Some of us called the park and were at the park waaaaaaaay before we posted the park.We also use other forms of communication other than the computer.....I have found that it is inefficient to try to post and dig at the same time,although some may be more talented than I.:)

But in the end it was none of us that found the damn thang anyway!

Well, with the great warm weather we're having, the medallion hider must be going crazy. What shall I do, where shall I hide, in what should I hide it in,.... The snow's almost completely gone. We should gather and do a snow chant to bring in the snow. Shovels are waiting to hunt. Help!!!!
