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.

Re: 2016 Clue 11
If you can get there beforehand, Matt, I'd recommend it. I was there for Phalen. 12th clue mad dashes aren't fun. Granted, hopefully you'll have a head start.
Re: 2016 Clue 11
I agree this is very close. I wonder if "fly straight as an arrow" suggests directly across from the runway at Benson. That would bring us just slightly north

Awesome! There were a handful of people that walked that path and went other ways, a lot of folks are in the boat launch area, I personally think if you look

Re: 2016 Clue 11
which trail head exactly is this? Is that from the parking lot facing the trail headed East into the neighborhoods? If you're out hunting, I've had a thought

Re: 2016 Clue 11
Don't know if you can read the sign. It says Benson Farm Prairie Restoration. I like this area for most/ all of the clues since clue 6. Don't know how the clue
Re: 2016 Clue 11
Oops! It looks like the sign for Benson Bay is maybe just for the name of the community there. But, at the trail head is this sign. What if the medallion is
Re: 2016 Clue 11
Yep, Alfabob. You and I are on the same page. That's exactly where I'd be looking. Maybe 20 feet (hard to gauge distance) west of the north most of those three
Re: 2016 Clue 11
I saw that, too. Also saw the trails crossing (on Google satellite view) to form an "x" in an open area just north of the Hugo/Overlake Avenue intersection.
