The Allison Wonderland

Anyone find it strange that clue 7 has the word high in it and clue 6 has the word land in it, oh yeah and theres a chateau highland rehab center right over there?

Can I change mine to 5 matoska 5 WBL regional?

Here is the new clue:

Clue #8
Get up and go, leave your chateau; Heed the call of Winter you hear. Tackle life this way to be happy and gay And find you a treasure most dear.
And here are the previous clues:

Clue #7 Count down from eleven and you’ll be in heaven Flying high as would an eagle. Look down from above to find what you love Then sniff out the prize like a beagle   Clue #6 Escape the heat, cook and eat At this playland far from the masses. A place to recover or even take cover – Life here was slow as molasses.   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.   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.

So as we close in on Clue 8, here is where the pool picks stand on Clue 7. There is a definite lack of a favorite.

Some of the random names and parks you see on there are left over from last year as I didn't want to recreate all of my formulas in Excel.

Ahh, sometimes you get a countdown on some of those newer cross walks, mostly near the city though, but maybe out in the burbs areas? But would those start at 11? I've seen them count down from 20 and then actually get audible with spoken numbers for visual impaired. So just a thought to look for some advanced cross walks nearby, and across the street, your heaven...or ie.. the part of the park your looking for?

After being out today and reflecting on the clues again it’s obvious to me now ( fool me once , won’t get fooled again) that the clue seven is imploring us to hunt from our homes and then get out and hit the snow.
Basically asking us to go on google maps (flying high eagle look down = birds eye view) and find stuff that fits the clues. Folks will remember they used this type of clue last year with the three bodies water clue.
I guess they get points for telling us to do it now. The evolution of the hunt I suppose.

'Follow the light'?

Spent some time here this afternoon, not alot of room but it could definitely still be there. Not alot of actual digging alot of walking and kicking snow though.

Someone mentioned somewhere that 11 (eleven) anagrams to levee (minus the n).

Look down from above ro find what you love?
See area from a hill? Or as mentioned streets decending. Highest point in elevation is at the ammunition plant in arden hills unfortunately 

5 Central
5 Cono

Apollo Heating & Air Conditioning by Keller?

Countdown from 11 - you'll be in heavenSpace Rocket Launch!Space rocket slide someone mentioned - brilliant!What other rocket correlation do we have...?Flippster

I noticed eagle street above Harriet as well. There is a plaque there that has a statue of snoopy (beagle) and Charlie Brown. However gatsby does fit WBL therefor I’m going to put 5 votes on matoska and 5 on Harriet 

I think you are correct about WBL, however there are other 11 streets around. I found one downtown that connects with eagle street/parkway that points to Harriet across the river. I will put 10 down on Harriet clue 7 since there is little interest in Harriet on your park pick. There are also 11 sport fields in Como so that has me kinda wondering. The Gatsby fits WBL though.

10 on Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary

Sniff out like a beagle----First Flight Finishers?? Take it with a maragita and grain of salt. I was convinced it was at Boyd Park until clue 4.  :)

I'm feeling like it has to be White Bear Lake and now I'm thinking West Park in particular. It is right next to another park which is basically a beach. That would make sense as to why they would say "avoid the shifting sands". There's a couple of things I can't quite fit but that's ok because usually if all the clues fit perfectly, you're in the wrong park. So I'm moving all 10 guesses to West Park in White Bear Lake.
