Re: Thoughts on the Clues
Great recap. Maybe a little generous, but that's okay. If the PP was smart, they'd hire David out to do the clues. Add to that the confusion he could cause on

Ha! Highland is long past due, great guess! I think I'll put my money on the Turtle Lake Open Area in Shoreview, just to stick with the mission impossible
Re: Thoughts on the Clues
David...you are too kind in your grading. I believe he made a mockery of a wonderful tradition. Does the CW troll your website? I hope he does!

Great recap, David! Thanks for all you do for the group! Sent from my iPhone
Re: Explanations Are Out
You must be a poker player :) Another game that's easy to say "F this I quit" and then coming crawling back. I think the gripe is that that was essentially a
Thoughts on the Clues
Prior to the explanations coming out, I was thinking I might give the clues a grade of B overall based on what I thought they meant. I thought the structure
Re: Explanations Are Out
I'm with you, Rose. I don't even mind a twelve clue hunt if there was a snowball's chance in hell that it COULD have been found. This time it just wasn't
Re: i think i saw clue writer or the hider or rehider
mjb7575..... Or is this a joke like the hunt turned out to be?
Re: Explanations Are Out
I hope you're right and next year is at least a little more accessible. And I agree, winning isn't the goal (as nice as the cash would be). Knowing you were
Re: Explanations Are Out
I don't post much, but I totally agree with this comment DJ. I don't think you should quit, get out there next year, could be your year. Thanks again David for

mjb7575 Interesting...What did he look like? Short, tall, stocky, glasses, beard???
Re: Explanations Are Out
David..do you know how to combine the 2016 albums I uploaded? I clicked on the 2016 hunt to add to and it just made more 2016 albums. Tried to find a way....
Re: Explanations Are Out
I have not read the explanations, but simply want to say if a hunt goes to the last 12th night clue, tell you where it is hidden, it was a failure on the CW's
Re: Here it is...
Great Pictures, surprised we weren't in the background, haha. Thank you for posting and everyone working together helping. We weren't up to the last night but
Re: Explanations Are Out
DJ, I totally understand your frustrations. I've been there. I started hunting a little bit in 98 and really got into it in 99 and those were both incredible
Re: Here it is...
I just uploaded many photos I took during the hunt. They are in 3 different 2016 albums and not sure why they got separated, but can not seem to combine. I
Re: I Survived
I'm glad to hear that! If it isn't going to be one of us, I'm glad it was at least some real fans of the hunt and not just clue 12 opportunists. Lori To:
Re: Explanations Are Out
As I said in a post last night, I don't think it was remotely possible to find this medallion until Clue 12. You might have had the city at manitou, and the

Just watched conference live on Periscope. While they apparently weren't veterans like most of you on here, they did appear to participate in this with the

Apparently all three were from Minneapolis and originally from Wisconsin. They'd been hunting for 10 years but were not part of any group as far as I can
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.
