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.

Thank you David for hosting this site year after year. And a huge thanks to Pioneer Press for creating this beautiful experience for us year after year!
This hunt was a humdinger for me. I truly thought the clues were leading us to Como (Oh No!) or Central Park.
What I truly enjoy about these hunts is the camaraderie that exists between hunters. We get to reconnect with the people we know only from doing the hunts year after year. 
Our triplet children, who are now 18, have grown up hunting with me. They are allowed to "play hooky" from school and they enjoy the hunt as much as I do. We are all relieved and happy for the person who finds it, as we can go back to "real life", but ever hopeful that the next hunt the puck will be ours!
We will be moving to Tennessee when the school year ends, so this may have been our last hunt. Unless some kind hunter is willing to let me sleep on their sofa for a week... that would be wonderful!
It has been an honor meeting some of you. We are California born and raised, Boston strong for 10 years, family living in MN for the last 10 years, soon to be in the warm comfort of the south. The hunt is imprinted upon the fabric of our lives and we will be telling our grandchildren our stories of life here in the beautiful, freezer box, of the mid-North in the years to come. 
Blessing to all of you we've met along the way and happy hunting for years to come!
Rebecca Gibson and family
David (husband), Grant, Elijah-Max, Charlotte, and Benjamin (our children)

Thanks David for hosting this clue board another year.
It was good to see you at the predig and meet your girlfriend. Congratulations on the Winter Carnival scavenger hunt and sadly l will not make the rehash bash because my SUV window will not be fixed by Sunday. It was one of the trickiest medallion digs that l can remember. The snow was also tough and the weather temperature was a match!

Thanks again, David, for keeping this site up and running, especially this year while you were/are busy with the Winter Carnival scavenger hunts. And your insights to the clues were most helpful.

Alphabob I agree with using futsal! I never heard of it. I still think the cluewriter picked 3 or 4 parks and made sure most of the clues matched in all of them. I was always haunted by chin and chain, but up till Saturday I felt Como and Central fit better. I was sure the pirate ship seized the silver and gold. This year was the biggest brainteaser ever. I am so happy it was not thrown in a snowbank again.

I formatted the clue explanations and attached them here in case anyone wants to see them all together. I need to remember for next year......don't go too deep. The person who found the medallion this year said they kept it simple - wade= beach and hill has to be by the beach.  hahahaha.

Well, I got a couple of clues right. But, 'futsal?! C'mon!
And Clue 11 would have pushed me over the edge.
