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.

Marnin', Leelabell!

The "deep enough to shovel" is a quote from the weather guy... I wonder what he considers 'shoveling' depth? Sidewalk purposes it has to be like 5" for me! LOL!!!

Treasure Digger, your entry must be postmarked by Jan. 20. SO, mail it before the first clue comes out and you'll be OK.

You guys ever worry your postcard(s) won't get there....?

I got four buttons, mailed them all [postcards]. And I'm thinking, "What if they don't get there?" How do we *know* they've been received?

Suppose we could drop them off... Maybee I will next year...

I guess it comes down to faith in the USPS.

Or send them insured and registered. Then they gotta sign for them!

Frosti, "You're a better man than I, Ghunga Din."

I've no faith but in me and The Hider(s) when it comes to The Hunt. I bet my postcards are languishing in some "Where Gonna Skunk THEM" pile as I type...

Green..you can't just bring 'em in. Believe it or not, they emphasize the postmarking of each card. Perhaps we could buy the Foundation a fool-proof date stamper?

Lets take bets on snow depth by next Saturday.

Have any postal workers every found the medallion? Maybe they're in cahoots with PP to not deliver the postcards and defraud us of our extra $5000.

One more conspiracy theory...

"Winnebago" Bill Gralish is so afraid of his not being registered, that he mails cards from different postoffices.

Steve! Bill does what??? That's hilarious. It's interesting to note that he worked at a post office for a long time.

A round for everyone spyrdoggy? Rumors are there may be over a hundred people there. You may need to find the medallion just to pay for that!

no matter what the snow forecast is, the temps are going to stay warm, which means more diggers, i mean searchers with the lack of snow

I just chased my 'mail person' down to get my four postcards back. I'll mail one today from the post office, drop one off downtown P.O. tomorrow a.m. Then wait two days to send the others.

David...and everyone else. Giving out your interpretations of each clue opens you up for scrutiny, so beware. Besides, what really is the benefit of being the first to post the true park? It's not like predicting the amount of snow that we'll have on Saturday.
