Re: Red herrings and bluffs

Re: Red herrings and bluffs
I wonder how much thought the clue writers put into as far as trying to entice the multitudes of outstate fans of the red bull event to spend some of there

Re: Park picks
If I just missed it, then it's no problem to add it. So then I have you with a Cherokee pick, a Crosby pick, and a Harriet pick.

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.
