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?
2022 Clue #4
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: Clue #2
kinda rehashing things and it seems like alot of people have forgotten that "Bliss" seemed like a pretty big word a day or two ago. There are some pretty great synonyms for Bliss that put river parks especially back in front of my mind again
Re: Clue #2
Good luck!
Re: Clue #2
Using David's hint, I was able to fit every clue thus far to one park pretty nicely. If tonight can fit there, I'll be out hunting tomorrow!
Re: Clue #2
I feel like "street" cred is important--I like the idea of "Strivers Row" and also that each clue may be about a street.....
Re: Clue #2
Re: Clue #2
I think it depends on how you look at clue 1. I had another thought today that I haven't seen anyone post yet in here or the other forums not sure if I'm ready to share it yet.
Re: Clue #2
that word "ease" really makes me think of the two county roads that run parallel Cty Rd E and E2 which basically puts Tony Schmidt back in my head. I'm going to have to look and see if those two roads extend over toward Silverwood park in New Brighton. The other thing that keeps sticking with me with "ease" or "E's" is that Cherokee has the double "ee" there. It's alot thought to think one word would be so important.
Anyone think there's much to this "ease" thing?

Re: Clue #2
Perhaps the clue is saying you need to drive to a park located between 35E and 35W.
Re: Clue #2
That's a good thought, The Street Where You Live book that talks about the streets.
