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: Park pick
unless of course you choose to pick Rice park ;) When logic follows experience, it is likely to be valid. When experience derives from logic, it is bound to be
Re: Park pick
Yes, you get one pick per clue for every clue that you feel like you have a worthwhile guess to make. (once we feel like we know the park and it has all 20
Re: Red herrings and bluffs
can we seach in harriet island or is that not allowed, I feel like I recall something about this not being allowed..... When logic follows experience, it is
Re: Red herrings and bluffs
Hey David. I'm going to go back to Highland for my fourth pick.
Park pick
David, I'm not sure if we get more than 3 picks. If we keep going my 4th pick is Upper Landing.
Re: Red herrings and bluffs
Well, for starters- dont google "cheating stunt"! Im taking another look at the clues. I did notice that the words high and tech aren't hyphenated. Maybe a
The Lesson of the Conway Mock Hunt
I knoiw many people disappear after the Medallion Hunt and don't stick around for the Mock Hunt so I'd like to recap a bit of what happened this year as it may
Re: Red herrings and bluffs
David, I was totally going for the long shot on that one! Remember several years ago when we actually were digging over there.... Kellogg though, you didnt let
Re: Red herrings and bluffs
To be honest, I don't think I can in good conscience recom,mend you pick Rice Park. It will never be in Rice Park with all of the other Winter Carnival
Re: Red herrings and bluffs
......but I still really like hidden falls and battle creek. DO have to get one vote in there though for a total outlie, so I will stick with rice park!!!!
Re: Red herrings and bluffs
this is my thinking as well, I think that the clue writer is taking a bit of a different tack from last years "obviousness" by having the medallion hidden in a
Re: Red herrings and bluffs
I think Clue 4 probably rules out Horton anyway. ________________________________ From: Molly Widstrom To:
Re: Red herrings and bluffs
I kind of doubt it. Not knowing the area or the hunt history much of the clues would go over their head anyway. If there is any cross marketing going on,
Re: Red herrings and bluffs
Indeed they can't give us all bogus clues as that wouldn't be a treasure hunt, it would just be a hoax. I think Crosby was a red herring. They referred to
Re: Red herrings and bluffs
If this is what you mean by the Bare Honey place - there isn't an actual honey store or anything in the area by Horton. I used to live in that neighborhood
Re: Red herrings and bluffs
I wonder how much thought the clue writers put into as far as trying to entice the multitudes of outstate fans of the red bull event to spend some of there
Red herrings and bluffs
So, here are my thoughts. The clues so far seem to have a fake "planted" reference to parks that we can clearly eliminate (Newell, rice, Horton maybe too if we
Re: Frank could be the other pair with Bing
Not quite an anagram. Though we think it is still a reference to the crashed ice event.
Re: Frank could be the other pair with Bing
Alfa Bob - there's a Frank Sinatra park in Hoboken. But that's a little bit outside of Ramsey county! ;-) I'm a HUGE Frank Sinatra fan, ask me anything you
