I don't think it's silly at all. I think it's actually a distinct possibility. We'd have to revisit each of those hunts and the circumstances in which the

Am I remembering that "heights and watery sights" was used during the '08 IM hunt?? I don't have the clues for that one printed anywhere anymore. I just have

My only issue with Mounds is that the playground is under heavy construction (large mounds of dirt and orange construction fence). I feel like they wouldn't

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.
