That made it easier. Thanks for the maps. I pulled up the 1924 map, however his railroads went by many of the parks. It did seem to knock out the far western ones however.

Hi David - cool site you have here, saw you linked to it from Facebook.
oldmaps is nice in a pinch but the U of MN can’t be beat for old maps. www.lib.umn.edu/borchert will get you many old St. Paul plat maps, old street names and alignments- some greater Ramsey county. https://apps.lib.umn.edu/mhapo has aerial photos of the area from the ‘20’s onward. I probably place too much importance on old stuff ( like the streetcar noodle that was bupkis) but it’s where my interests lie.

I don't think the streetcar noodle was bupkis. It's still a cornerstone of my Phalen theory. I didn't post it here because it was your theory but you can if you like. I thought it sounded better than any other explanation for that clue that I have heard. David B. Allison

There's an old streetcar that ran between Lake Como and Lake Phelan, Though rather than going straight like Wheelock park way does, It went down Dale, and At Summit started a steep decline into downtown St. Paul (plummet), before following E7th street and climbing the Bluff, proceeding up arcade and Forest streets before reaching its terminus at Lake Phelan. It seemed odd to me that something might plummet before it got to the bluff, but if you follow this track (11 on the map) - couple with its circuitous rout and starting and stopping like a streetcar would it seemed to make sense.
Once at the summit, it did quite plummet Before it got to the bluff Starting and stopping, winding and hopping It will eventually lead to the stuff

Best interpretation for Clue #6 that I've seen!

I had been hoping I was alone in having noticed the #11 route! Shhh!

This was on the PP FB site posted 5 hours ago:
PLEASE READ AND SHARE: To ensure we are respectful of sacred landscapes within our city’s public spaces, Saint Paul Parks and Recreation has requested that Indian Mounds Regional Park is excluded for the remainder of this year’s hunt. We can confirm that the medallion is not located within the park, and out of respect all hunting should be directed elsewhere. Good luck!
