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.

Potential Future Clue?

Interesting, and kind of google proof as I can't get any kind of website with an address to come up. You just have to know it's there. L. To:
Re: Updates
This may have been posted already- if so, sorry. There is a "bare honey" shop in St. Paul about a block away from Horton park.
Re: Clue #3
I think those are just slightly too small. My wife uses them all the time. Good thought though, and I think we should explore it. There is some unusual
Re: Clue #3
Excellent analysis, David. I'm inclined to agree. Part of me wonders if we should expect bits and pieces of things from years past. They have a lot of history
