The Allison Wonderland

1 week Cluey.... See you then

This years clues will start a new decade
and will lead to someplace that God Made
A pun on the year, will make you see clear
and hopeful insight as to where it has been laid

Good luck to all, in twenty twenty
And 1 thing's for sure, there's snow a plenty
Will a shovel dig or be it hung from a twig
or will you have to tread ever so lightly

Como, Phalen and Highland they seek
Or will it again be at Battle Creek?
Or some unknown park will the X mark
To me half of the clues are all but Greek

Soon onward we go, out into the cold
The first few days are for the young and bold
For us old timers, were mostly whiners
But years of knowledge we hold

So bundle up when out on the hunt
Hopefully we wont get a huge cold front
And if you happen to see, a coin in a tree
Let out a howl or maybe a grunt

I would just like to say to all Good Luck
And wisdom to you so you wont run a muck
Get right your bearings, and no red herrings
& Come back to this board when you get stuck!

God Bless

The Hunt is just nine days away now. If you've been busy celebrating the 16th day of Christmas and haven't paid much attention to the January calendar yet, let me give you an update on what's coming up:

• Saturday, January 18th Noon - The Pioneer Press will be having their own version of a Pre-Dig Gig at the Bad Weather Brewery in St. Paul. The PP will be there selling their buttons which will be registered. You can get more info at http://www.badweatherbrewery.com/events/2020/1/18/pioneer-press-treasure-hunt-party 
• Saturday, January 18th 6pm - The actual Pre-Dig Gig which will be at Joseph's Grill in St. Paul, just across the river from downtown St. Paul.There will be a pasta bar there for $17 inclusive or you can order off of the menu. We will have a private room, though after a while we pretty much just take over the place. Buttons will not be for sale there as far as we know, but you can get in on the park pick pool the annual Cooler Crew picture.
• Sunday, January 20th - The official start of the Treasure Hunt even though Clue 1 will be out the day before in the early edition of the Sunday paper.

Feel free to reply to this message if there's anything I have forgotten. 

I made my way to the group!!!!
2020! The hunt is upon us!!!

Yyyeeah, the HUNT is almost here! I'm navigating around and liking your new rabbit hole David! 

When I am on the site, there is a menu on the left side and under "Messages" I see a link for "New Topic". Are you able to see that? Also it does appear that everyone's first message is moderated and if I approve that one, then you are automatically unmoderated going forward.

Got myself signed up, signed in, and all that fun stuff.  Thanks for getting this set up David.

I know one can reply on the site, but do all newpostings need to be done by email?
