Salem may fit the "life internal heat infernal" clue.  Salem witch trials - those found guilty were burned at the stake.  Innocents killed would presumably go to heaven.

There are churches in the area, though there are churches most everywhere. Maybe it's a reference to "salvation"? As in the Salvation Army used to own that site I think. It could be something in the park too as I have yet to ever go there.

Heart of hearts is a phrase used in Shakespeare's Hamlet.  Hamlet is a tiny settlement smaller than a village.  St Anthony village perhaps?

The third line has me stumped - clearly refers to the choice between heaven & hell.  Thoughts?

Silverwood seems inevitable—but solves involving Crosby/Hidden, Hansen, and even things like Furness Park were all very intriguing.

CW could've gotten a lot of extra play out of something like "saintly" (St. Anthony/St. Paul) or "high five" (artwork/highway) if they hadn't so specifically referenced "arts" in this latest clue, but I get that it was probably time to do so.

Recovering from the whiplash lol — back out tonight and tomorrow, hopefully.

Another reason to stay away from that part of the park is the lake itself.  "Path to the bath" could mean a path to the lake or the bridge across it.

One of the roads is blocked off, not by cones but….. could that be the cones reference? Or reference to the sign “ Restoring Native Species Project” so cone could be a pine cone for tree or seedling?? Grasping here

I'm in agreement with all of this. The bath trail a few days ago was the first clue for me.
But what's the cones?

Path to the bath is in reference to the Forest Bath Tour that is available. That path is just inside the entrance to the left. So you want to be away from there. That’s my opinion LOL

Mother Earth makes sense, the high view school, New BRIGHTon out of the dark, treasure = silver, the art, The roads, Silverwood sounds like a winner, or one huge red herring. But so many things add up now. Good Luck everyone. I'm 2 hours north, no threat here...But this seems still too early to be on THE park so quick...right? But wow...it adds up!

Could “that all of us spring from the mud” be e reference to Mother Earth? There is a reference to Mother Earth in Silverwood….I cannot tie in driver,or current, unless it’s pertaining to electrical… or driver means driven to find it and striver means a long or vigorous walk?

I'm definitely on Silverwood.  Clue 6 convinced me.  "Ride this rhyme for a trip through time" seems to reference the bicycle silhouette bike racks and the nursery rhyme Hickory Dickory Dock.  There is a dock onto Sliver Lake there.  "Stone circles" seems to reference the brick/flagstone foot path that circles the outdoor stage/amphitheater. David put me onto New Brighton in translating "Fresh," "out of the dark" and "life of ease."  The "border" reference clinched it for me.  I think the reference to 30's means the street address is in the 20's.  That steered me away from Emerald.  I still believe the repeated use of "treasure" was referencing Silver - Silver Lake, Silver Lake Rd, Silverwood Park.

The path to the bath is not by the beach (that is over the border). It’s actually almost opposite that in the park.

Definitely Silverwood. I don’t think over the County Line. They do lock the gate at night, but easy to walk in. I talked to an officer when I was parked at the beach park last night and she had no issues with walking in. They also perform weddings here if that makes a difference to you with last nights clue. The Forest Bath trail is totally unique. It’s a great park!

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.
