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.

Say, didn't the science museum used to have a putt-putt golf course behind it at one time? If so, that could possibly tie in the "Fore"? Sent from my iPhone
Re: 2016 Clue 3 Thoughts
Great thoughts David! One of the things I wanted to keep in mind is that the last time it was at Como, they were giving us the park right away in the clues.
