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 so far
I know they are off-limits, but the general area the CW is alluding to, plus the ice climbing accessed there. It is also a place of "nature."
Re: Thoughts so far
Even if it didn't, the fossil beds have been off-limits when it was there. But this cluewriter likes to put us in the area, so who knows.
Re: Thoughts so far
Does anybody else think that the "jumble" referred to in clue #2 could be the fossil beds in Lilydale? That thought crossed my mind. But, I think that parts of
Re: Thoughts so far
Clue 4 seems to me to be more problematic than the others when it comes to picking the park. So either there's one park that fits all of them, or something
Re: Thoughts so far

Re: Thoughts so far
Could the "famous happy holiday pair" the CW is alluding to represent the pair of Lilydale-Harriet Island Park? I think the CW is throwing us off with the
Re: Thoughts so far
I would have to agree that it is unlikely at Crosby for various reasons. First and foremost I feel as though the clue writer is relatively clever and
Re: Thoughts so far
But what about Clue 4? Are you just chalking it up to being the what it's hidden in clue? It would fit with the red herring theme of the hunt, but it seems
Re: Thoughts so far
Also, Crosby has a part of the trail where there's a tree with lines on it to mark the heights of historic flooding events, and a sign explaining the park's
Re: Thoughts so far
Hidden Falls I think might do the trick. Hidden Falls and Crosby are quite nearly the same park, so Clue 2 would draw us to that area, but then we have to pick

My 5th pick is Harriet, even before your summery David. The view of the cathedral is good.
Thoughts so far
I know last night's clue has a lot of people back at Crosby. I'm not there myself. That's primarily because of Clue 4 which I believe refers to the Crashed
