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.

"Tis a chain methinks fraught with many links"

Could that be McDonalds, or some other chain of eateries... :chagrin:

There you go. Just tell the park people you're out there picking up trash and cleaning the park. How could they complain about that?

I love hunts close to my house, it almost like cheating with all the knowledge of living in a place your whole life. Now if I can just get some time to go dig.

they complain anyway. jake and me2 were told again that we can't do this sort of thing without telling parks and rec about it. just so there's enough parking for the little old ladies who come to the rec center to do whatever it is they do there. i say bs to that.

I would have told them to call the police if I was not welcome on public land, and explain it to them.

that's exactly what i would have done too, tim. me2, cm, tmk, marley, and i all had a run-in with the cops in cherokee when jake hid a coin up by the high bridge. some of the neighbors had expressed concern about our presence there, and called the cops, which i can understand. but when we explained to them what we were doing, one of them took off so fast, you'd have sworn a donut shop was being robbed. (i don't remember. were you there that morning too?)

One could always park on the street if need be. Come to think of it, that place has always been sort of uptight. I remember when I was a kid they gathered up all the kids playing on the playground and made us pull weeds from the baseball field.

tim_the_hunter

yeah I showed up just after that happened.

then marley found the chocolate covered mess.

nothing like the night when the cops showed up at Mounds...

that's where we were all parked.

you're kidding about pulling the weeds, right?

Been there. I also remember having like a half hour to skate after school/before dinner and them always wanting me to shovel off both rinks before I started.

I could be wrong, but I think tonight's clue will get someone close enough to find it.

yeah but within an hour?

we are all soft from small town hunts after all

hope you are wrong...

I'd like one last chance...

Look at Kitch. He sucked it up and came up with a good noodle.

Hmmm, somehow that sounds wrong.
Tue, 02/21/2006 - 12:22 PM Permalink
KITCH

ya but I'm still a little Disappoint it

wouldn't it be nice to know that someday I may be right....

look on the bright side. you might know in 5 hours that you're right :smile:

I have a feeling that if Kitch doesn't win, he will play an integral part in the victory of whoever does find it.

So says the oracle.

took out all the spaces. Good if you're looking to decrypt a message.. however the punctuations should also be excluded then, and possibly the line breaks.
