Here is the new clue:

Clue #5
Things looked rosy, a pocketful of posey. We remember it all too well. We were happy back then but beyond our ken: It soon would all go to hell.
And here are the previous clues:

Clue #4

We’re moving ahead, no oncoming dread.

Our future’s in our hands.

This new term is about what’s firm

Let’s avoid the shifting sands.

 

Clue #3

No time, old sport, to play and cavort.

Pursue the grail with your schemes!

Out at night? Then follow the light

To cross the way to your dreams.

 

Clue #2

Stay away from links and risky hijinks.

Disturb not ground, tree or trail.

Don’t wait for last clue to know what to do;

This year you’ll figure or fail.

 

Clue #1

Be it turmoil endemic or global pandemic

It’s been a tough year for us all.

So rather than punt, we renewed this year’s hunt:

Join us, it’ll be a ball!

 

Don’t be odd, stay in your pod.

Keep six feet away from strangers.

Wear a mask when on your task

To keep all safe from dangers.

"no oncoming dread" anagrams to "nodding near Como".  A bit of a stretch maybe...OH NO

We have 100 team slots for each of the three hunts and all 100 have been filled for the parks hunt now. I'm in the process now of confirming reservations. If you want I can put you on a wait list as we may yet have a few spots open up, or you can do one of the other two hunts.

You do actually get all 30 at once. You have 10 days to solve as many as you can, though one is a tie breaker and the first team among those with the highest score that gets it, breaks the tie. Thus it would be wise to do that one first. Otherwise you can do them in any order.

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.
