Special "Thanks" to Me2 for helping get the kick-off together!
Happy hunting!
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

------------"Im a Rock-Star - Think I Aint"-------------
I thought I would also let people that dont know what happened---
On friday night about 5:30 Ares,me2,cm and I were at Cherokee talking getting ready to call it a night for it was dark.When Jake should up at the park and said that we should leave so he could check on the coin it was for our good and his .So we did.Jake then called me about a hour later saying that the item the coin was in was there but the coin was not and he had put something in the place of the coin.(in a post from ares I found out it was a wad of duct tape he had replaced it with)So I go to the park at sun up(6:00am) and around 7:00am I find a diaper by the highbridge in the bushes and pull it out it has a small piece of duct tape wraped around it this is what made me pull it out of the bushes and check it.I put the diaper on the cement and smushed it with my foot.No wad of duct tape and no coin nothing is the diaper I felt.So I left it on the cement slab by the power box.About 7:30 artemis showed up and I was still over by the bridge and showed her the diaper.So then we keep checking around looking for "the thing".Around 8:00 8:30 Tmk showed up and we talked and then we went back to looking.1/2 hour later art and tmk meet on the sidewalk and tmk says he seen a diaper by the power box but aint checking it with his hands but it looks like nothings in it.Dont know if he smushed it with his feet.Art said that she would go with him with her stick and pick at it but they didnt.Around 8:30 or 9:00 me2 then ares showed up and tmk had to go to work.We all talked for a awhile and did a little looking and at one point decided we should search this one little area together(cause I had searched the cliff real good)and if we found it we would call it a wash.Around 9:30 or 10:00 Mr Med and his son showed up after we talked a little Mr med went looking for Ian's Cache.So then JAke calls about 10:15 and talks to Ares then Me2 then me then ares and while ares was talking to jake he said that Marley had found a diaper by the bridge with duct tape on it.I dont know what Jake said but Ares told me I should go check that frecking diaper again maybe.Tim the Hunter and his dad showed up as I busted over to the bridge and grabbed the diaper (still laying out in the open on the cement by the power box)and ripped the diaper open to find a FLAT square piece of paper with duct tape around it with the message from jake.So then I walk back to where everyone was talking and told Ares to keep his fifty dollars and we all walked over by the bridge where the diaper was found and talked.We came up with a plan to mess with Jake a little by not telling him it was found.Wow what a hunt.Whew!

Nice to see you again!
Marley, Artemis, me2, ares, Tim and Tim's dad.
Nice to see all of you in the park. I realized after I left that I probably didn't properly introduce myself or my son Michael.
We had a great day in the park and the weather was perfect.
Note to Jake:
You should not jeopardize the hunt by checking whether the treasure is where it is suppose to be during the hunt. Take a hint from the PP. If the treasure isn't where it is suppose to be, you go downtown and find two unemployed people having coffee. Take them to the park without hats and gloves in below zero temperatures and surprisingly they find the treasure where hundreds of people have been for 10 hours.
Maybe by now, you know it's all a numb3rs game

St. Paul is host for the nation's biggest winter celebration, and in 1986 the largest ice palace ever built during the St. Paul Winter Carnival – constructed just down river of High Bridge – captured worldwide attention. Xcel Energy employees regularly participate in the festival and some have served on the winter pageant’s royal court.
