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.

I just took a look at the hunt info, and am digging further into the past year's clues and circumstances of finding. The medallion wasn't found at Highland any

Oh okay gotcha! Thanks very much for the info but that's a wee bit late for this early to bed critter. However - i have the entire week off work next week to

Re: Thoughts at Clue 4
Talking it over with my father, it could be that the Scottish thing is a red herring--we had Archie, you can pull Dudley Do-Right slash Rocky and Bullwinkle
Re: 2015 Clue #4
Afton Waters. It appears we've been chasing the same white rabbit - A Winter Night, another poem written by Burns, piqued my interest for its mention of
Re: Allison Wonderland Park Pool Clarification
Well for future reference, people do gather at Gabe's pretty much every night of the hunt because that is where the early editions of the paper are sold.
Re: Allison Wonderland Park Pool Clarification
That is where the paper is released I guess I am assuming people still meet up there maybe about 10. Others? Are you up there? When? About Central Park I will

So let's take what we do consider to be relatively solid intel. I think we feel confident that the park in question should have either a playground or ball

Re: Thoughts at Clue 4
I don't think it's silly at all. I think it's actually a distinct possibility. We'd have to revisit each of those hunts and the circumstances in which the
Re: Allison Wonderland Park Pool Clarification
Change me to no guess before clue 2 also. It is not showing up or I posted in wrong place. I'm finding this web site to be confusing. Is it that slow to show
