The word choices definitely had me looking at meter - which David points out is very strict this year.

Speaking of the HF ‘07 hunt- perhaps “Join Us” is suggesting another “level land” —> cLEVELAND kind of hint.

The medallion will not be hidden on the State Capitol grounds, at Como Zoo & Conservatory, Rice Park, Mounds Park, under any skating surface, on a golf course, under or on any artificial turf surface, or at any construction site.

I'm afraid I don't know exactly. I would think you should have it by now. I don't know if they use a tracking number or not. I would say the best thing is to contact the Pioneer Press though I don't see any specific contact information on the site where you get the medallions.

Noted. What do I do if I never received the light up medallion I ordered. Ordered it on the 12th. Got the email conformation and all but the thing never was mailed to me?

I do think IMP is a little crazy because I'm pretty sure it was marked as forbidden territory in the rules this year.

Is it crazy to think of IMP as an option? We’ve been told 6 feet here, 6 feet there, all year. Well when you are buried you go 6 feet under so they say. And for the second part of this clue I think the CW is saying it’s already being given to you. Just a thought. I know it’s a separate thread and will probably get lost but I’ll throw 10 on Indian mounds.

I'm feeling Hidden Falls on this one. The syllables on this one are an unusually strict pattern 10-7-10-7. That could also be taken to mean 07, 07 if you just take the last digit of each. That was the year it was at Hidden Falls and Jake found it on Clue 3, which might be what "Don't wait for the last clue" is referencing. If so, the "ball" from Clue 1 could be the balls on the power lines there.

So I'll move 10 to Hidden Falls.

Clue #2

Here is the new clue:

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.
Here is the previous clue:

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.

I've been so busy this week and weekend that I can't remember now if I've made a guess yet. So as of now I will put 5 on Lilydale and 5 on Bruce Vento.

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.
