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 Ice House was full. That's not littering. That's a donation. And I figured whomever drank the Ice House would pay it back by removing the Schnapps.

(and you know I remove more than I bring in at every place I go) :chagrin:

I thought I had a tick in my pants so I trapped it with my fingers through my pants - off my thigh- from HF all the way into work - trying to figure out how to get it out of my pants before getting into the office - figured out that it was a clump of lint at the bottom of my pocket!!! :eek: Im itchy just thinking of em- scared to take my clothes off now! no melon to report :frown:

I couldn't find the Mounds egg either. I only had about 20 minutes of daylight but I covered a lot of ground. Enough to see where all of you guys were looking anyway. Unfortunately walking through sticker bushes with a suit on isn't a smart thing for your clothes nor shoes. :eyeroll:

take the suit off, CM :grin: that should be fun...

I will tell you that you won't have to get any stickers on you to find the egg at mounds.
Wed, 04/25/2007 - 7:06 PM Permalink
barefootguy

You could probably reach it without even leaving the path.

Clue Master

That's what I thought too. Did you happen to check on it?
Wed, 04/25/2007 - 7:15 PM Permalink
me2

yup as far as Mounds, we all searched along the pathline as far as I know- obviously not well enough
Wed, 04/25/2007 - 7:17 PM Permalink
barefootguy

I checked on it yesterday around noon, and it was still there. It was actually exposed, probably from the storm the other day, so I covered it up again.

If the mounds egg hasnt been found by the time I get off of work tomorrow at 5, i'm gonna go claim it.
