Thanks David for hosting this clue board another year. It was good to see you at the predig and meet your girlfriend. Congratulations on the Winter Carnival scavenger hunt and sadly l will not make the rehash bash because my SUV window will not be fixed by Sunday. It was one of the trickiest medallion digs that l can remember. The snow was also tough and the weather temperature was a match!
Thanks again, David, for keeping this site up and running, especially this year while you were/are busy with the Winter Carnival scavenger hunts. And your insights to the clues were most helpful.
Alphabob I agree with using futsal! I never heard of it. I still think the cluewriter picked 3 or 4 parks and made sure most of the clues matched in all of them. I was always haunted by chin and chain, but up till Saturday I felt Como and Central fit better. I was sure the pirate ship seized the silver and gold. This year was the biggest brainteaser ever. I am so happy it was not thrown in a snowbank again.
I formatted the clue explanations and attached them here in case anyone wants to see them all together. I need to remember for next year......don't go too deep. The person who found the medallion this year said they kept it simple - wade= beach and hill has to be by the beach. hahahaha.
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.
