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.

Okay, yes, I have it set up. All of those intending to go to McGoverns, email coolercrew@hotmail.com to help give us a better idea of how many people will be attending. Please include who you are and the number of guests who will be accompanying you. Thanks!

Kids, why toss a bogus request out there that wasn't necessary? That wasn't very nice.

Bogus request? What bogus request?

Yup.

The information you're asking from people is not needed. At least for the purposes of the 19th, The Pre-Dig Gig and The Cooler Crew. You may want or need it, but otherwise, for legit purposes...

Ittiz a bogus request.

Just thought it might be helpful to have a good idea of how many people were going to McGoverns

Green he was trying to help figure out how many people were coming... I was the one that asked.

If you're curious about the numbers attending, then ask for a show of hands - here.

But don't use the royal 'we' when not needed. Unless you qualify it with, "... ,me and Tim,..."

No one setting up The Pre-Dig Gig is worried about attendees, or no shows.

And as a side note...

No one that ever sets these Cooler Crew get-togethers up would ever ask who someone is. E-mail addresses suffice.

And that you can take to the bank.

Been working on work-work here tonight. Trying to be sure I have all my ducks in a row - visions of them floating on orange juice - before I need time off for digging.

I've gained another obsession the past couple of years. Aurora Borealis Hunting...and if anyone is interested and under clear skies, find some dark sky location and look towards the north. You just might get lucky to see a fantastic light show tonight. All the indicators are up for a good chance of finding those lights!

I'm going to get ready for some night sky viewing...might as well get used to being sleep deprived, right?

Goodnight and SCDs everyone!

TMK's good intentions about McGoverns were r-------------shot down by Green in a MAJOR way!! If anyone has doubted that Green is the Matriarch of the cooler, guess again my friends!!! TMK- it was a good thought, if you hadn't done it, I would have. And Green, never lose that edge the makes you, uniquely you!

Rush, ittiz not a case of me being the Matriarch o'here. But a case of continuity and trust.

I, as only one or two others, have dealt with folks here for going on five years. Many people here are very private and that has to be respected.

There's an amount of trust and credibility that has been built up. That is not to be jeapordized or threatened.

Good intentions are good intentions...

In my mind, good intentions would have asked first... As in: "Do *we* need a count for the 19th? I'll set up an [e-mail] account and PASS ON THE INFO."

I am NOT the "Matriarch" o'this Cooler. I am, however, very protective o'The 'Crew and this Cooler. I am very protective of The Hunt...

The "Matriarch"? Don't put that on me, Rush. The title could well go to you should you get your drawers in a knot.

This Cooler, The Cooler Crew, Cooler Heads... Ittiz all a collective effort. I'm just one piece o'the puzzle (ROFLOLPMP!!!) that spoke up.

Alright! I'm here!

Just been out checking for clearing. Seems we have some cloud cover here.

If you have clear skies, you need to find dark skies...no street lights or other light pollution. Let your eyes adjust to the dark for a few minutes and watch the northern skies. When the aurora is active, you may see glows, arcs, curtains, rays, anywhere from the northeast to the northwest. Sometimes closer to the horizon but often reaching to the corona overhead. Often there is white or green tints...and if you get really lucky, there's rainbow colors or red.

Crap.

I see that all the time when I drink! LOL!!!

Seriously, should I drag Brown out to the northern parts o'around here? Or izz the cloud cover too much?

Gods, but I want to see the BA!!!! I think ittiz so funny you're into that as I've kind'a been for years, but never knew how/or have been able to see it.

YOU GO, GULLFIEND!

Green! If you are so protective of the hunt, why do you keep accusing them of moving the damn thing from Phalen to Newell in 2000?

If you were protective of the hunt, you would be trying to downplay these conspiracy theories instead of making them up yourself. I have come to expect this kind of thing from you though, full of contridictions.....

Green - check the skies. Are they clear by you? If so I'd head out and check it out. No guarantees, but I have software now that gives all sorts of information. The indicators are up. The moon is new so won't interfere. Find a dark sky location, let your eyes adjust and watch. With any luck, you'll see it.

Jake, you Bone-Head!

Protection o'you, and all udders, has NOTHING to do with the friggin' Spotters/Hiders/Writers moving The Med!

Moved Med = Moved Med. It was done. Else Yours Truly would have found it in PHALEN in 2000, PRIOR to it being moved.

And don't give me doggie poop, MISTER! You were there for FAR LONGER than you'll ebber ADMIT.

Know where your phone izz?
