Welcome to the 5th Annual Allison Wonderland Mock Hunt!
The treasure was found just before 9am on Wednesday, March 10th, by Me2. She will get a prize around $290 plus a variety of other goodies. It was found in Marydale Park on the north side in a pit under a tree near lamp post #12.
The wrap up party will be Saturday, March 13th at 8pm at Fabulous Fern's.
I work at 11pm and need sleep before the clue tonight. Hope it's still out there...
Only 3 and a half more hours until the next clue. Will it prove useful to anyone? Will it be found before then?
too busy
I wont get found, it is too big of a park
Do you mean it's close to the 1974 spot?
Clue #8 Then Alice did see Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Like goofs standing very still as if they were unaware
Then alive they came, saying to win us this tiny game
You will first have to perfectly eliminate every last pair.
you need to figure out this clue to understand...
yes ian...is a great little noodle on clue two...
kosrc =rocks..
I just did it..myself...man that is just pure awesome and kinda fun...
Poor little kitty just sitting out in the cold all alone. Won't someone go and find it already?
I'm heading out shortly :)
Liquor Lady to the rescue!
Poor little kitty just sitting out in the cold all alone. Won't someone go and find it already?
I'll go out and get it for ya, just tell me where it is ;)
UNJOE..for the heck of it and i'm bored....
Jakes at Marydale
Well in a little over an hour either everyone will be at Marydale or no one will be.
or somewill still be stuck at work or at home...
no luck :( I had lil' roaster with me so I didn't stay long, he was a mess by the time we left.
Wasn't it a beautiful day for a walk in the park?
yes it was! I hope it's just as nice tomorrow.
So now I hear on the news that a Masonic Lodge in Istanbul was bombed today.
I got a strange feeling from 6pm to 915pm i'm going to be very "giddy"
I wonder if the mason lodges are getting hit due to the "angels and demons" books or the "da vinci code books"
there's a mason lodge up on white bear I passed by, with a realty for sale sign in front of it.
Thought that was weird...
The lodge in SSP is being torn down to make way for condos. It is a nice old building too.
they claim there is hidden money in most lodges...hmm....
that's unfortunate, I wonder where all the masons are going?
Hello from up north!
Thought for sure someone would have found that kitty by now...but it makes more sense that the fish is pointing the wrong way. It just adds to a conspiracy theory.
I can't believe the timing that we got up here in time for the clue!
wheres allison
beautiful baby diggin'!!!
Clue #10
The Gryphon told of a mystery in treasure hunt history
And the paradox of it was really quite twisted
Surely it’s forbidden for the treasure to have been hidden
In a park before it ever even officially existed!
And the previous clues:
Clue #9
To the left or to the right? Oh what an awful plight!
Which one was correct Alice could not quite say.
After she went to depart, she finished at the start,
Though a catfish in the middle pointed the (wrong) way.
Clue #8
Then Alice did see Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Like goofs standing very still as if they were unaware
Then alive they came, saying to win us this tiny game
You will first have to perfectly eliminate every last pair.
Clue #7
Alice took a second look, "This must be the wrong book!"
Thought she, as she spotted seven dwarves sitting on a perch.
Perhaps if she stopped to chat they'd help her find the cat,
But only one was able to give her a hint of where to search.
Clue #6
Alice walked a mile, going round about for a while
When a caterpillar spoke, blowing smoke rings quite nifty.
He said, "Who are you? Are you looking for a clue?
Then perhaps you should search between fifteen and fifty."
Clue #5
Alice was curious to know, which way she should go
When she saw the Cheshire Cat and smiled to herself.
He just gave her a grin, and then disappeared again
Saying, "Look for me near a road that crosses itself."
Clue #4
The March Hare and Mad Hatter each grabbed a platter
And offered Alice a cup with all their usual glee.
"You make it quite well, what's your secret, do tell?"
"We simply gather up the rain and stir in the tea!"
Clue #3
Hearing of the slithy toves and mimsy borogoves
Made Alice ask for a dictionary from the porter.
But when he gave her a tome as big as a home
She asked if there was any way to make it shorter.
Clue #2
Alice's adventure had begun before she saw the rabbit run,
In an outdoor setting having some biscuits and tea.
Go now and don't be late for your very important date.
Dining and cooking you'll find figure most prominently.
Clue #1
Only those with habits like chasing white rabbits
Look in Wonderland trying to find this treasure, alas.
Vanished is the Cheshire Cat. Which park could he be at?
You might start with a peek through the looking glass.
I tried doing a post...a "congrats from the cooler crew...."
cute!!!
oh sorry "handsome"
He is very cute! Cute is ok when they're babies. :)
;)
As for where all the Masons are going, well they're getting old and dying off and not many younger people are joining to take their place. At 36 I'm still one of the very youngest members of my lodge. I joined in 1997, and I think only three others have joined my lodge since. In the 1950's there were around 60,000 masons in Minnesota and now there are only 20,000 and even at that, the average age is around 65.
yep..my dad is 80..he keeps telling me to get interested....
Maybe we could get all the treasure hunting guys into one lodge and then have Masonic treasure hunts!
I'll be in a park at 920ish..i'm going to feel really stupid if i'm in the wrong park..
allison want to go hunting
With a little research one should be able to pinpoint the park now.
Yes!!!! We're still in the right place!!!!
allison want to go hunting
Do I get to keep the prize money if I find it?
If you spend it at Buggs
Talk about conspiracy theories!!!
Allison want to go to Buggs
do i need to go to buggs instead of the park...at 920pm then..heck its a lot closer to my house..since buggs is only two blocks away...
I was at K-Mart today and when I was checking out I looked up at a TV screen by the service desk it was showing the movie Alice In Wonderland!
ooo, Freaky!! must be a sign!! get out there OT!
I know. I thought the same thing. But I was actually on my way home from the park so didn't go back.
I know what your going thru OLDTIMER... I never knew all the little alice in wonderland things around me....
I almost forgot to post this..I told ME2 about it...my daughter asked me about the catipiller and what was it doing....."big bong like thing"...I had to tell her...but she's only 3....
I just said he is smoking and not healthy to do that....but geez ..its a disney remake book....
