10 for Frogtown Park and Farm. Many clues fit there; you have to cross over Dale when you drive from downtown, there used to be an old dirt trail, Calvary cemetery is right next to it, there is a hill - if you climb it you have a good view of the city. It also has a sliding hill,  “yield” would be the farm produce. Water and field - you need water for the farm and on and on.  It is a cool place - I took students there to work the farm last year. It is a very diverse population of people and all different kinds of food, which would be something important to MN.  
Anyways, just noodling but I am going out of town til Monday so wanted to share my noodles.  Thanks. Jone

Re: 2025 Pioneer Press Medallion Hunt Clue #1

Sorry for being a bit late on the noodling. Here's what I'm thinking.
  1. Santa Ana winds come from Nevada and Utah. So possible street location.
  2. Hills are glowin to me means stay away from the city
  3. Beast = East, maybe
  4. The last line feels like it is a lyric from Bob Dylan. Would we say he's from North or North East Minnesota?
An out there idea, Bob Dylan used pseudonym Jack Frost so I'm thinking North St. Paul eye sight of that giant snowman.

Just some current noodling - Pike Island fits some clues.

  • If the Bob Dylan reference was for the movie “A Complete Unknown”, that could mean a new park. I don’t think the medallion has been at Pike. 

  • Pike was originally a sacred place (a refuge) for the Dakota people until it was bought for Fort Snelling

  • Military reference could refer to it being part of Fort Snelling and the history of the island being used for various military uses, including an internment camp.

  • Pike is part of Fort Snelling Park which isn’t in Ramsey county, but Pike Island itself is in Ramsey.  The clue of “in and out” could refer to being in and out of Ramsey.  You need to park in Hennepin and walk into Ramsey to get to Pike.

I’m not convinced on highland - that said all of highland used to be fort snelling’s “military reserve”. That would work for refuge here and the song I suppose.   also I believe you mean edgecumbe not edgerton the point remains…

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.
