Clue #1 You've joined the hunt for the regal runt
To prove searching does pay
Don't dig a hole or knock down a pole
And the golf course is out of play
Last year Jake took home the cake
With a clue a bit off level
This year we'll rinse off all our prints
Lest this hunt go to the devil
Clue #2 The point of all this is so that you won't miss
Your big chance to grab all the cash
Now gather your guys and a gal who is wise
You'll have to do something quite rash
Clue #3 We've scanned the county to hide our bounty
And keep you on your toes
It may sound risible, but our puck's invisible
Although it might just stick to your nose.
Clue #4 How fun is the snow how far will we go
You really ought to go see
Get up for the mission and not just the wishin'
Get into the game-it's all free
Clue #5 There once was a clue that drove you-know-who
To threaten a heinous act
We'd use it again but we're afraid of his pen
My friend, that's an unfortunate fact
Clue #6 All ye who look should honor the book
As one who stood for hope
Much was built in the name of the kilt
Look sharp now and never mope
Clue #7 If you should go look high then low
One could see it from a bower
If it's your bent you might seek a tent
To protect in case of shower
Take note of the wood and do what you should
To extract the prize for yourself
Build a bridge to your dreams as high as they seem
Leave nothing behind on the shelf
Clue #8 Look at the buck to acquire good luck
In finding the grail this year
Link a jar,a line, a star lawyer divine
While crying in your beer
He won, then lost and the nation was tossed
Into strife that was far from civil
The point I'm making is yours for the taking
Believe me - not the message board drivel
Clue #9 This name brings tears, elation and cheers
And occasionally even outrages
It sits on walls and rides the halls
And fills a dozen pages
The hills are alive and you'll have arrived
Refrain from the very injurious
Be bold and be brave but your skin you must save
What's off-limits should frankly be obvious
Clue #10 Look for the sight you hope is just right
You're doubtful and you're torn
Make the rounds for what rhymes with grounds
And part of a rose with a horn
Through flames and flow this park where you'll go
Is the site of sacred relics
Stay away from these and the cliffs if you please
Or you'll be in a heckuva fix
Clue #11 Air and river sounds lead all to Mounds
Far from the graves take your entourage
Twixt Burns and Thorn, an icy pathway is born
Across Mounds from a gray house and tan garage
Hell no fury hath as those on the wrong path
Mounds and Warner form a woodsy perimeter
The path not official contains footprints beneficial
Some 300 trudges in - quest for a quitter
This trail you must follow goes down a narrow hollow
Under a fallen tree to an old rusted drum
From here you must search for a hillside path perch
Wherein lies the center of fun

that is of course if I find it alone..
I have no problems with anyone :smile:
I live to love people!
maybe a mitten or two along the way :wink:
the rules stated it was NOT on the state capitol grounds
and a clue refered to a dome
I dont get why they change the rules every year
I can see having base rules and adding to them
like keep Harriet and the Capitol grounds off limits and add to the list but not include or exclude different things each year.
the rules coulda said to stay safe away from the edge of cliffs but it doesnt - instead if mentions ice rinks?
maybe it has to do with staying away from Excel because of the ice skating thingy.
I'm guessing that clue #1 or 2 will say something about the figure skating championships taking place on and in the city of ice. People look into every word as we know and many might chip away at whatever they see.
My mom actually found the Cottage Grove medallion covered in 6" of water in the middle of a pond. :eyeroll:
They are surely going to ref. the Figure Skating.

What year did they stop using the treasure chest?
..... and can you hook a sista up with a couple of those????
We apologize for the hunt's delay, But we've hid the loot in a different way. To find the coin you must be clever, But shall we say "Better late than never."

Darn it why did I mention Highland, two years in a row :wink:
I was talking about getting an auto-hummer.
Good job anyway Jake!
I was only trying to brag :frown:
