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: Thoughts at Clue 4
I don't think anyone expects to actually find it on the playground, so I'd say it still works fine for a clue. But it could also refer to the baseball field.

The hunt is about to begin. We have but little snow and even that is likely to decrease in this coming warm spell. We have a cluewriter we're still feeling
Re: Another song theme?
Interesting alphabob!
Re: Clue #1
Could also be a reference to what it's hidden in--bound up in something, or in something with a picture of a rabbit ("bound"-> something that rabbits do). On
Re: 2015 clue #2
I just realized that the clues this year are back to the old rhyme scheme (a,a,b,c,c,b). They weren't that way the last few years. I suppose it is meant to

My only issue with Mounds is that the playground is under heavy construction (large mounds of dirt and orange construction fence). I feel like they wouldn't
Re: Clue #1

wedged Clue 2
Clue 2 is obvious reference to Phalen, more of a stretch for Swede Hollow. This line sticks out to me - so I took the literal meaning of "our word", applied to
