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.

It seems like we just finished with the holidays (wait, we did just finish with the holidays!) and already the start of the Hunt is just two weeks from today!
Re: Park Picks
Yes, I will probably do a pool again, though I don't always see people to give them their winnings. But it has been fun to do anyway. I don't necessarily
Park Picks
Hello Allison and all. Happy New Year! David, will you be doing a park pick pool again this year? Any park preferences yet? Hope we get more snow soon,
Re: 2015 Pre Dig Gig

Re: 2015 Clue #3
Anyone see any anagrams in the clues yet? There was one in Clue 3 in 2004 that spelled out "It's Phalen Park". 2009's Swede Hollow Clue 6 also had one.
Re: 2015 Clue #3
Actually, the clue doesn't say "nature's arch". The first line mentions an arch and the second line mentions "nature's work" above the trail. One could make

I'm not going to buy the Archie to comics to Cosby to Crosby line of logic, but I did have a different thought leading to Crosby. Archie (Arch he) and

Regarding the Gervais Grist Mill noodle, I think that's more likely warning us off Phalen--Gervais Lake is part of the Keller/Phalen chain of lakes, and is
Re: 2015 Clue #3
Okay, what's the connection to the comic book Archie and his pal Jughead? Are we reliving the 2004 hunt in Phalen? Is the medallion wedged into a PLASTIC green
