2006 Allison Wonderland Mock Hunt

Submitted by KITCH on
Clue #1 
Thar's stories told thar's pirate's gold 
Stolen from ye olde martyr's stock 
To make yer haul, go search St. Paul 
You'll find the key is in the lock 

Clue #2 
The Chinook wind blows, and the gray sky snows 
As weary pirates seek shelter from the storm 
Just how much treasure will make yer pleasure? 
Thar’s a lot nearby but it shan’t make ye warm 

Clue #3 
A pirate must spy the stars with an eye 
And whilst navigating stay ever alert 
Misery'd prevail, if ye try to set sail 
In a ship aimed towards the rich Shepard's dirt. 

Clue #4 
“Grub at six bells,” the pirate yells, 
Zounds matey, tis nearly time for dinner. 
But ye must wit which spot to sit, 
Ones nearby might help make ye a winner. 

Clue #5 
A fire all aglow in me bungalow 
Tempts a pirate to spend me time in port 
But I’d best set sail and catch a strong gale 
To avoid me fateful, dire day in court. 

Clue #6 
When pirates sail by the sweet lorelei 
Aye, a careful prayer they must be keepin’ 
For her tempting call could well end it all 
And with the dead soldiers they’d be sleepin’. 

Clue #7 
“The way that be best to open ye chest 
Is to use a key”, the old pirate yawned. 
Disappoint it may, would you perhaps say, 
To be findin’ out the key had been pawned? 

Clue #8 
Tis a chain methinks fraught with many links 
That’s meanin’ yer close enough to smell’er 
Ye’d be no dummy hunting this mummy 
Aye, lest ye panic and go run yeller. 

Clue #9 
Skeletons sit silently, having not died violently, 
They’re simply sleeping through the winter days. 
Listen closely my dear, they say “Treasure is near, 
Buts if ye shall claims it, ye can not stays.” 

Clue #10 
Tis a park ye pursue, t’would be easy to view 
If’n ye knew the street whereby cars buzz 
But you’ll do just fine if ye get in line 
With what be the interstate that never was.

As far as I know, it's just a big swampy area and not really a park. I used to live right by that when I was a kid and again when I lived in those apartment buildings on Western.

Seems some of the Park and Rec people have been giving some people at North Dale a hard time. One of the employees there told Jake something like this would have to be cleared through the Parks department. Which then makes me wonder, if that is true, does the Pioner Press indeed tell the Parks department which park it will be at?
Tue, 02/21/2006 - 8:42 AM Permalink
KITCH

why would it need to be clear'd??

its public land...heck...we got caches everywhere...

but jake looks like a prevert by the flower gardens with the girls working out?
Tue, 02/21/2006 - 8:46 AM Permalink
Clue Master

Well Jake wouldn't be given a hard time if he wasn't looking through their cars. :chagrin:

I don't think there's enough snow for any hardcore digging.

I should also mention I ahve a meeting from 1-2 today and won't be able to answer my phone.
