Re: 2022 Clue #3
One of my interpretations is a similar simple explanation:
Far from the path – in the middle of a field or open area
Step out of the dark – not in the woods
Waits so alone – by itself, not under a tree/picnic table
Cone – construction, or used in sports training (refers to sports fields)
Bath – maybe simply a bathroom
One interpretation: There’s a path that leads to bathrooms. The medallion is quite a way off that path in an open field (not in the woods). The park has sports fields, and it’s not on them.

I have a link on the website for sending invites. But maybe that is just because I am the moderator. Otherwise you could give them the link to the website ( theallisonwonderland groups.io Group ) and they could ask to join. Or I think they can send an email to this address: theallisonwonderland+subscribe@groups.io

Re: 2022 Clue #1
Saw something on the internet about twitter social media claiming 'delta omicron' is an anagram for 'Media Control'! Look it up.
Don't know if that means anything.

Re: Clue #2
"Cred" def. refers to 'street credibility' or street smarts. Maybe the clue writer is telling us to 'know our streets' and some/lots of these clues refer to street names.
Re: 2022 Clue #3
It would be bold, but how does an island feel?
There’s a couple of lakes that have islands only reachable by foot in the winter- don’t wait for temps to hit the 30’s.
I guess they probably wouldn’t since if they did the hunt would be SOL if the ice got unsafe… hmmm

How do I add people to this group?
Re: 2022 Clue #1
"Strap on your mask, get down to the task" could be a reference to what a baseball catcher or hockey goalie does; both wear protective masks and have to 'crouch down' to perform their respective tasks or jobs. Could mean there are hockey rinks and/or baseball/softball fields in the area where the medallion is hidden.
Re: 2022 Clue #3
The treasure not being wrapped in anything does make sense. At first I was thinking "fresh" might actually allude to what it was hidden in, but now I feel pretty certain it is referencing a new park.
Re: 2022 Clue #3
"The treasure waits so alone" could mean that the 'medallion' is not wrapped in anything.
Re: 2022 Clue #1
I'd be more concerned about the E's (ease) than the D's and O's personally.
Re: 2022 Clue #1
A large portion of it is. I can't imagine hiding it in the dog portion, though.
Re: 2022 Clue #1
Nevermind, just found it!!!
Re: 2022 Clue #1
Maybe I missed something or another post, but what is significant about something starting with D and ending with O?
Re: 2022 Clue #1
Isn't Arlington Arkwright a dog park? I wonder if "fresh treasure" = dog poo LOL
Re: 2022 Clue #1
Eileen Weida Park is bordered on the west by Desoto St. Burr St borders on the north. Burr could reference "don't wait til temps hit the 30s." Desoto is a vintage car model - referenced by "driver" in Clue 2? Not sure if other clues fit here though.
Re: 2022 Clue #3
Is this too simple an explination?:
"far from the path that leads to a bath" meaning it's not in muddy/swampy/wet areas
"the treasure waits so alone / step out of the dark and go to the park" it's in an open clearing away from trees
"but avaoid obstacles of cone" avoid areas under constructions or marked off limits (traffic cones)
In the past the first few clues are pretty basic "welcome to the treasure hunt" "follow the rules, win a prize" "it's in a park in ramsey county"
Re: 2022 Clue #1
yes. it also goes by edgerton park.
Re: 2022 Clue #1
I believe the park with Desoto is Arlington Arkwright.
Re: 2022 Clue #1
Desoto is a St Paul street that begins with D and ends with O. I seem to recall it bordering or intersecting a park. Need to refer to a map.
