Oops! It looks like the sign for Benson Bay is maybe just for the name of the community there. But, at the trail head is this sign. What if the medallion is

Yep, Alfabob. You and I are on the same page. That's exactly where I'd be looking. Maybe 20 feet (hard to gauge distance) west of the north most of those three

I saw that, too. Also saw the trails crossing (on Google satellite view) to form an "x" in an open area just north of the Hugo/Overlake Avenue intersection.

Yes. I've not signed up or registered to it, so I could never post to it, but I have been able to read discussions. Not today, though.

Great noodling guys! I think I have to hang up my hunting hat. With the weather and not being close to WBL, I think I may not be able to get out to the right

FYI the island is called "cigar island". Thanks for telling us it's north of there but south of the county line. It feels like we are finally honed in on a

In Clue 11, is LIT short for Literature giving another nod to Hugo? And is FLIPPING CARD meaning a sign is inverted? Or is there a "star" sign around? I also

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.
