The Allison Wonderland
The Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt is part of the St. Paul Winter Carnival every year. While the prize can only go to one winner, The Allison Wonderland is dedicated to the community spirit of treasure hunting. Here, not only will you find out about the Pre-Dig Gig, the Rehash Bash, and various other social events, but we also discuss the clues here in a team effort to decipher them (albeit not always successfully). This is a place to discuss ideas respectfully, report on what's happening "on the ground", and provide each other with useful information. This is a public group so expect that anything posted will be seen by everyone.

Re: Hunting
Nancy Moe...loved, loved your story. Hope to see you at rehash!
Re: Explanations Are Out
I believe both are free. The ramp is a free ramp and if you do find a spot on the street, that is free too. Just don't park in El Burrito Mercado's lot.
Re: Thoughts on the Clues
I do sometimes wonder how I would handle this message board if I ever did become the clue writer. Would I just "retire" or use it to actively throw people

I am not going to reveal my age, but you will probably figure it out from what I am going to say. I have been hunting the medallion for 48 years, and have the

Re: Thoughts on the Clues
Thanks again to David and the group. I was so busy this hunt I was only able to get out last weekend to dig for a few days and I spent that entire time
Re: Thoughts on the Clues
Great recap. Maybe a little generous, but that's okay. If the PP was smart, they'd hire David out to do the clues. Add to that the confusion he could cause on
Re: Explanations Are Out
Ha! Highland is long past due, great guess! I think I'll put my money on the Turtle Lake Open Area in Shoreview, just to stick with the mission impossible
Re: Thoughts on the Clues
David...you are too kind in your grading. I believe he made a mockery of a wonderful tradition. Does the CW troll your website? I hope he does!

Re: Explanations Are Out
You must be a poker player :) Another game that's easy to say "F this I quit" and then coming crawling back. I think the gripe is that that was essentially a
Thoughts on the Clues
Prior to the explanations coming out, I was thinking I might give the clues a grade of B overall based on what I thought they meant. I thought the structure
Re: Explanations Are Out
I'm with you, Rose. I don't even mind a twelve clue hunt if there was a snowball's chance in hell that it COULD have been found. This time it just wasn't

Re: Explanations Are Out
I hope you're right and next year is at least a little more accessible. And I agree, winning isn't the goal (as nice as the cash would be). Knowing you were
Re: Explanations Are Out
