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: Pathetic explanations!
Anyone else notice that the explanations list "anchors away" as an acronym, as opposed to an anagram? Add that to the misspelling, and to the east vs north

I showed up at the scene moments after the find this morning. I spent precious time earlier trying to anagram "spotting a fence," coming up with the
Pathetic explanations!
Unbelievable! I just got back from the hunt after finding a spot that really explained most of them accept "Holidays" and 2 to go. I was sure it was there off
