Re: The Hunt for the Golden Beer Can Clue #5

Good catch. What I posted was copied from the master copy. The brewery then takes it and makes up the version that gets posted there. They must have accidentally capitalized interstate, but it wasn't intended to be.

Good Evening-I have been noodling the capital letters in the posted clues on Facebook. I notice the word Interstate is capitalized on Facebook but it is not below. Can you tell me which one is correct? The clues mentioned “letters” so I’ve been keeping my eye on any letters that seem to stand out. Thanks for any clarification. Kim

The Hunt for the Golden Beer Can Clue #5

2 years 2 months ago

We're on Clue #5 if you've not seen the latest one yet. Clue #6 comes out Thursday at 6pm at St. Paul Brewing.

Clue #1

From all throughout our realm we call treasure hunters home to St. Paul

To invite you each, one and all to seek our golden can of beer.

On public land is where it hides. Let city limits be your guides.

Prepare to take a lot of strides if you’re going to walk from here.

 

And thus St. Paul Brewing extends this invite to our darling friends

Where your hunting success depends on finding water of three kinds.

There’s a happy end to this tale if you stay off the beaten trail.

Articles provide some detail, but not the ones that cover finds.

 

Clue #2

Even with all the time you’ve got, a picnic this pursuit is not.

We’ve picked a rather rustic spot that doesn’t evoke the city.

You’re not going to need a ball, no vendors there as we recall.

Really, mostly nothing at all, but with snow the hills are pretty.

 

Clue #3

While our can sits on ground quite dry, a changing current is nearby.

Paddling might help you should you try, but no need for you to get wet.

Catalogs you may disregard, and getting letters can prove hard

But count an old-styled postcard as what people would love to get.

 

Clue #4

Since it’s not easy being green, blue and purple it sits between.

Just lying in a sylvan scene where many more trees used to grow.

If it helps you determine where, look in a park that’s far from square.

Because there’s a lot of land there we can get by without much snow.

 

Clue #5

Best not to take the interstate when going to town twenty-eight.

But finding a Montville estate puts you in the right neighborhood.

There’s a definite point to start, but from that path you must depart.

As you’re walking it would be smart to gain sight of water and wood.

Julie, I'm afraid that totals 11 guesses and you only get 10.

Are you sure about Indian Mounds Park? That's actually excluded according to the official rules.

I didn't see your official post explaining your yearly points-driven Park Pick Pool. So I'll just piggyback on your post right here. But first I want to thank David for running his PPP once again and for help in promoting my Cooler Crew PPP that takes place at the PDG this Saturday. I've been running the CCPPP since I started it 24 years ago. There's usually pretty good participation which has only been growing every year. It keeps me pretty busy so Alex has been helping me out in recent years. With that, I'll put all 10 of my eggs in Trout Brook to start my guesses this year. 
Hope to see you at the PreDigGig or out in THE park. 
Happy Hunting!

With so little snow, College seems unlikely, but one must be true to themselves!
