Re: 2022 Clue #3
I'm thinking there is in fact a place where pine trees are legitimate obstacles.

Re: 2022 Clue #3
That makes sense. I'm reaching here. Obstacles of cone = burial mounds? Probably not...

Re: 2022 Clue #3
It says obstacles of cone, so it is plural.
Re: 2022 Clue #3
There’s an old bath house, still standing, at Highland. I think Phalen had/has one too?
Re: 2022 Clue #3
“The” path to “A” bath is vexing.
Re: 2022 Clue #3
cone - pine trees - very good! Singular only to rhyme with alone.
Construction nearby? Avoid the orange cone s?
Public bath house back in 30s maybe...beach or ? Someone said Harriet had one..., interesting, any others?
They ALWAYS put in history. Those parts I never figure out.

Re: 2022 Clue #3
I was thinking “obstacles of cone” might mean pine trees
Re: 2022 Clue #3
Clue 3 made me think harriet but could be red herring...public bathes were the river and the cone. As I find it interesting they say cone, singular
Re: 2022 Clue #3
On a similar track - a park with swimming ( beach or pool) but far from that section of the park.
Eg at como but far from the pool, or at Phalen but far fromThe beach
Cone I’m going to have to sit with for a bit.

Re: 2022 Clue #3
"waits so alone" makes me feel like its a quiet, unused park generally so no big pavilions, nor playgrounds or ball fields still with river ties -- Lilydale does make sense
Re: 2022 Clue #3
The bath part makes me think of Harriet Island which was originally used as a public bath when it became a park. Far from that could be Lilydale.
Possibly a bird bath? A path that leads to the river or a lake?
Construction cones?

2022 Clue #3
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
hunt cred anagrams to "thunder", now there's a noodle for you river believers - you're welcome
Re: Clue #2
Yeh...I was looking for the next line ending instead. I was tired when the clue finally came out last night.
Re: Clue #2
It was shortened to rhyme with “bed”
Re: Clue #2
Did anyone think cred meant something else? Why was it shortened?
Re: Clue #2
I think Pike Island is the place you need a state park pass to get to and thus it probably won't ever be there. Unless that changed?
Re: Clue #2
Is Pike Island considered public land? That section of the state park is in Ramsey County, but I've never heard of anyone hunting there.
Re: Clue #2
Two rivers overlook is right there too right?
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.
