Barefootguy's Hunt for the Golden Egg

Submitted by Clue Master on
Clue 1: 
Hey treasure hunter, don't be a punter! 
Stay in the eye of the pig 
Search high, search low, but make sure as you go 
Destroy nothing while you dig 

The puck has been concealed, so here's the deal: 
The treasure is not all that I've hid 
Three eggs of blue shall give you a clue- 
Old hiding places do bid 

Clue 2: 
You could have a lot of fun 
Noodling clues and channeling bards. 
Have a seat and something to eat, 
Riches for you could be in the cards 

Clue 3: 
Con artist I am not 
Nor will I guide you to the spot 
Ma always said to bring plenty of kiwi, 
Cloud 9 awaits at a former Mounds spot. 

Clue 4: 
Have yourself a splashingly good time 
Find a place for the kiddies to play. 
As you look around in the park you have found 
Where a city ends is where you should stay 

Clue #5 
Numbers, numbers. Numbers galore! 
Sit on 16, 18 by 24 
12 and 13 can help you a ton; 
But 13 is helpful in more ways than one 

Clue 5 1/2: 
Across from Obbs is the place to be, 
Go to the bluff top where the path makes a "T" 
Down the left path between 70 and 100 paces, 
Look to your left and you're off to the races. 

Clue 6: 
Go you and forage, don't get discouraged 
As you hunt and search and comb 
Get your melon to a former HF dwellin' 
Take your big car to a former national home 

Clue 7: 
Go to the brink, don't stop and think, 
As your quest begins to wane. 
Walk, don't run, as you're having all this fun, 
Take a jaunt down lucky lane 

Clue 8: 
As this hunt nears its final bout, you might be getting worn out. 
I'd help you if I could 
If you don't want to miss, just remember this: 
An ocean wouldn't help you, but a... 

Clue 9: 
As you grow hunt-weary, stand up proud! don't beg 
The final clue awaits you, hidden in an egg 
Get downtown now, I know this won't bring me many cheers; 
The clue can be thine if you look inside a historical sign 
In the eastern corner of the park known as Mear

The extra clue will be a clue to the whereabouts of an egg. Also, I took a risk and checked the hiding spots of the eggs at about noon today and they're all there. I did not check on the treasure, however. Also, if someone finds an egg, I would prefer that they call me and let me know whether they're keeping it or leaving it. I won't post who found it.

Clue Master

I marked the damn spot Becksie! :chagrin: :wink:

#1 & #3 were fine clues for that BFG. Most everyone knew where Tim found his treasure. I didn't think we needed an extra clue for that egg unless that clue is a decent one. :ooh:

I just don't have any time whatsoever. :frown:

I just wasn't sure that I had the right spot since I hadn't been there before. The last part of the clue from that year said to turn north down a path, but there are like 3 paths that go down the hill and I wasn't sure which one was the right one.

It was the one in the middle. Did you see an Ice House can by a tree? :smile:

ummm...I saw an icehouse...didn't see no eggs.

no eggs :frown:

It's there, between 70 and 100 paces from where the path leading up the hill meets the path that runs along the bluff top.

Fine, I'll even give you guys another hint: forget between 70 and 100 paces. It's 90-odd paces.
