Clue #1
We are starting anew, alack and alas,
Seek out the treasure surrounded by grass
Search the city built on seven hills
Combing the area should cause you no ills
To be first you must start with the last
Putting it all together could be a blast
To decipher the code pay attention to signs
Hacking the order to our deceptive lines
Clue #2
It was bright and shiny when it was brand new
Now only a few years later it has a green hue
And when you are standing at the treasure's home
Even more prominent in the distant is another dome
Clue #3
If you're searching for a place to park
Best opt for the side that's rather dark
To shed a little light on the hiding place
Remember its vintage located on its base
Clue #4
Bank on the fact that it got a new name
A directional dilemma with historic fame
A compass will confuse if traveling by land
Or head North by water to see it firsthand
Clue #5
Here is a tip, so don't blow your stack
Seeing it's top will keep you on track
A landmark in the skyline will be erased
Known is the fact that it will be replaced
Clue #6
If you are searching for a big double you
It's metal members form one out of view
An elevated crest resides between it and thee
Eclipsing the river below by some degree
Clue #7
Right hand green, left hand red, lead to our med
In our game, you win if green and you lose if red
Now quit pretending, it could take you until dawn
Especially if when you get back the city is gone
Clue #8
A pair of firsts win nothing but gold
Ponder a move that would really be bold
Causing no fear with this little twist
Suppose you find a floor that doesn't exist
Clue #9
Maybe by now, you know it's all a numb3rs game
Mastering the letters bring forth a false name
Map Guy has not covered our most coveted ground
A number in thousands to the far East can be found
Clue #10
The honeymoon is over; it's a common phrase
Maybe you'll catch on, one of these days
Smack, it will hit you right in the mouth
Just go to a bus drivers wife in the south

Where I come from, that would be considered a treasure of its own....
oh yeah....
and I'm gonna need them back, too.... I have a gas station robbery planned for tomorrow.
except a goofy lookin red SUV thing pulled in, and sat there, while we walked around....
we thought it might have been a spotter.... but then we just realized that thats just silly....
spotters dont even exist (supposedly).
:wink:

Very Cooler use of the Big W. I'm glad it found it's way into a clue since it's a big part of any hiding spot. Thanks
