It may not seem like it, but we will have Clue 1 in our eager little mittens just 6 weeks from today! So you surely also know that means the Pre Dig Gig is

Re: 2015 Clue #3

I'm not going to buy the Archie to comics to Cosby to Crosby line of logic, but I did have a different thought leading to Crosby. Archie (Arch he) and

Re: 2015 Clue #3
Okay, what's the connection to the comic book Archie and his pal Jughead? Are we reliving the 2004 hunt in Phalen? Is the medallion wedged into a PLASTIC green
Re: 2015 Clue #5
There is also a Highland Drive near Snail Lake. I've been searching to see if I can dig up what grain was farmed in Vadnais Heights, and while I've found some
Re: 2015 Clue #3
How soon we forget. The botched Phalen hunt was based on an Archie (arch) comic in which Jughead finds the medallion in a green donut (if I remember
Re: 2015 Clue #5

Re: 2015 Clue #5
There is a computer game called "a grain of truth" I do not know anything about it so I still need to read. About storytelling.... A Grain of Truth -

Another song theme?
I know it's too early to read much into clue 1, but everyone's heard of the song, "From Rags To Riches", I presume. Here are the lyrics to Tony Bennet's song:
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.
