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: 2024 Park Pick Pool
Michele, I think everyone could use some help with publicity! lol I have lots of things going on all year that could use some boosting. I'd be happy to talk about it (but it will have to be next week or after the hunt probably)

Re: 2024 Pioneer Press Medallion Hunt Clue #4
Como park has the most lights missing from copper wire theft. Thats probably too obvious but would steer people there to look.
2024 Pioneer Press Medallion Hunt Clue #4
Clue #1
At last it’s time for vexatious rhyme
To goad you to fortune and fun
Here’s a clue: Something old, something new
Off you go! The race has begun
Clue #2
This is the year of the pioneer
An enterprise first of its kind
An event historic we feel euphoric
Like a park hunter grasping the find
It’s the 175th year since that newsman came here
With his press afloat he did embark
He’s got his own county, a majestic bounty
That he’s got in common with the park
Clue #3
The search for gold never gets old
This year, add beer can and gnome
Sincerest flattery or idle chattery?
Our treasure sits atop the loam.
Clue #4
You set out to search, but had to lurch
Because the sunlight has expired
For your hunt to go great, it’s okay to stay out late
If you’re able to get lights wired
I missed yesterday! 1/23/24 park pick
I'm going with 5 Bald Eagle-Otter Lake and Hause Park in NSP
