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 treasure hasn't been found yet, just the first blue egg.

You really shouldn't give clues until a posted time to give them out. Not very fair.

I'm ok with it...

I'm sure BFG was getting as frustrated as the rest of us on this one...

as for myself...what the heck was I expecting...just to walk up and pick it up???

I don't think extra clues are needed (although they help) but maybe BFG is a little anxious...this being his first hunt. Also, I didn't even hunt yesterday due to another commitment...so I went out at 6:30 this morning and went in late to work. I usually can't hunt until after work.

BTW, it wasn't 90 paces for me...and then you also have to guess which path to the top you want to pace out the distance from, as there are several. It took me 45-60 minutes to find it.

I'll say this much...it doesn't (to me, anyway) give any more "pointed" information than any of the other clues. I guess I was hoping it would :frown:
