Re: 2022 Clue #5
I think it could just mean something like a river bank, not necessarily a border park

Re: 2022 Clue #5
That's definitely a park on my radar!
Re: 2022 Clue #5
What do you think of Silverwood Park? Partially in Ramsey County.
Re: 2022 Clue #5
Not me! Lol
Re: 2022 Clue #5
Kristen, we're you the one that yesterday I stopped in a blue car and said atleast I don't have to look there now?
Re: 2022 Clue #5
So that may rule out a bunch of parks if you're thinking border means on the edge of the county line. I'm still torn between a park in New Brighton and Lilydale. I question if they would hide it at Lilydale with one of the trails closed and landslide warnings posted everywhere. Cherokee is still in play. Although border could mean many things like near a Taco Bell? Just thinking out loud here. Lol
2022 Clue #5
I fell asleep last night before the clue came out, but here is the daily posting nevertheless:
Clue #5
When the buttons showed up, we screamed out ‘what?!?’
Still, we didn’t cancel the order
So when we hid the puck, we pushed our luck
And hid it so close to a border.
Clue #4
An item hot is the current lot
Of at-home tests for COVID
Ours is nice, in block of ice
Inside the medallion's hid
Clue #3
Far from the path that leads to a bath
The treasure waits so alone
Step out of the dark and go to the park
But avoid obstacles of cone
Clue #2
Get out of your bed if you want some hunt cred
Don’t wait ‘til temps hit the 30s
With the prize as your driver be a vigorous striver
For success means a life of ease
Clue #1
From delta to omicron, what a marathon
Getting from last year to this
Strap on your mask, get down to the task
Let fresh treasure be your bliss
Re: 2022 Clue #3
Re: Ford Plant
Not suppose to be done till this summer or fall I believe
Ford Plant
Just for the record, even though one of the kids' parks on the south end looks completed, the entire property is fenced in with "No Trespassing" signs.
Re: 2022 Clue #1
Ease was also used in 2009
Re: 2022 Clue #1
Hmmm. Edgerton fits the "ease" clue.
Re: 2022 Clue #1
Eileen Weida Park is the one I saw in my mind's eye. I popped over there on my way home to refresh my memory. It is tiny - no bigger than a city block. There is a cluster of Norway pines but I can't envision that representing any type of obstacle.
Re: 2022 Clue #3
I think you're on the right track. "the path that leads to a bath" = a road or trail that directs you toward a lake or river
Re: 2022 Clue #3
Just going back a few years...
2012 at Tony Schmidt the word treasure was included in clue 1, 2 and 32014 at Como, used in Clue 1 and 22015 Snail Lake used in clue 2 and 3
There are many years the word is used multiple times, but these are the examples of it showing up multiple times in the first 3 clues.

Re: 2022 Clue #3
Is it unusual to reference the word "treasure" in 2 of the first 3 clues? I'm thinking that there is a reason behind that. Couple that with "ease" and "ice" and it's steering me to a particular park that would be "fresh" and "out of the dark."
Re: 2022 Clue #1
Another way to interpret Delta & Omicron is their Greek letter symbols. Delta is a triangle, which often signifies an arrow point. Omicron is a lower-case "o" which is more ambiguous. Perhaps the bullseye of a target? A park with an archery range?
Re: 2022 Clue #4
It is highly unusual for the CW to be so blatant about describing what the puck is hidden within. However, this clue does NOT say that it is encased within a testing kit. And it's not at all unusual for it to be encased in ice. The clue associates one "hot item" with another - one that we're all searching for.
Re: 2022 Clue #4
A hot item can also refer to a couple… or something stolen.
But I think a double entendre with the hot item ( COVID test box) with a park that could be a couple kinda fits.
Lilly/Dale perhaps?

Re: 2022 Clue #4
I think it is meant to be read this way:
An item hot, is the current lot of at home tests for COVID
Offhand it sounds like just a what-is-it-in clue. Although if it is, that adds significance to "the treasure waits so alone" as that would not be such a clue. Maybe it's a reference to 1st St?

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.
