The Allison Wonderland
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.

Clue 3 re-interpreted
I'm no real hunter, but clue 3 had me going back to different ways to interpret it. I don't know yet how the other clues would fit with this theme. Let's say
Re: AW Park Pick Pool
Mine feel delayed too. Anyways, I'll be scoping trout brook tonight before clue 6 to see how it feels.
