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.

When I thought council I was thinking Mounds or Cherokee, just because that is a blatant stereotypical reference to traditional Native peoples customs.
Re: Pathetic explanations!
Yes, Unbelievable! It makes me not want to even bother hunting anymore. I think the CW thinks they being cheeky, but in reality they just are pathetic...I mean
Re: Why we SHOULD have found it sooner...
I did hear some people say that the word council made them think of a tribal council and that made them think of Cherokee. I think I had people picking
Why we SHOULD have found it sooner...
Alright, ridiculous Archimedean references aside, I have the reasons why we could have (if not should have) tracked on this a lot sooner. I know I am
