Re: 2015 clue #2
I just realized that the clues this year are back to the old rhyme scheme (a,a,b,c,c,b). They weren't that way the last few years. I suppose it is meant to

Re: Thoughts at Clue 4
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
Re: Clue #1
It could, of course, mean just the opposite. It says "don't cast about", therefore it could be a park with a lake that cannot be fished, or even no lake at

hi Genavieve, i'm curious as to your Central Park choice - do you have any specific reasons or just hoping it's the park? I myself would be extremely happy if
Re: Allison Wonderland Park Pool Clarification
I would like to pick Swede for my park. I am leaving town so that will be my guess for the remainder of the hunt and I am sure it will be found before I
Re: Clue #1

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.
