2008 Roseville Golden Rose Hunt

Submitted by ares on
Clue One 
It’s time to search let’s start the new quest, 
The golden medallion hunt is truly the best. 
With everyone out searching the air and ground, 
For in 07 it didn’t take long for it to be found. 
We’ve hidden it well to make the journey longer this year, 
The search for gold is in a park let’s just make that clear. 
Coordinate 45 N 

Clue Two 
Remember to search both high and low through this thick plot, 
The medallion is waiting in it’s resting spot. 
The search goes on oh what a prize you will get, 
It will be in a place close to a sun set. 
Coordinate W 93 

Clue Three 
Trees and paths will lead you to the place, 
Don’t stray too far or you will be out of this race, 
With the GPS in your hand, off you will go, 
The fruits of your past labor will hopefully show. 
Don’t get frustrated I know it’s a hassle. 
You are a little ways off if you are searching a castle 
Coordinate 1` N 

Clue Four 
Water, trees, ball parks and field, 
The search continues unless you yield. 
By now you know it’s sure to be by one of those places, 
Be sure to get your water and go by the Oasis. 
Coordinate 10` W

yep, and I wish I had time (and my car) for any of these hunts. I'm not too worried about roseville though, I've found that one once, though not in the way that I'dve liked. Columbia Heights is nice, 750 bucks. Good luck with that one Ian. I almost had it last year.

Oh well.. next year I'll hopefully be better situated.

or is it go by Oasis to Langton? spent a half hour looking for that nice map that lays out the city by the coordinates, they gave it away two years ago...of course couldn't find it, can't every find anything but it's a lot of fun looking....

so is anyone going out tomorrow morning? was thinking of picking up the clue in the morning and giving it a shot, anyone game???

gotta find my GPS now so i can get some coordinates

I went all around Langton yesterday. Really loved the north end of it with the Applwood trails and the castle playhouse in the yard on the corner of the trails, both the upper and lower next to the pond. Scoured Oasis today. Grabbed some caches and enjoyed being outside rather than in the lab. Looking forward to tomorrows clue

HUGE thanks to BFG for figuring out the discrepency with the GPS coordinates...and thanks to Mucky for even inviting me to be any part of the hunt...it was an honor to be in the vicinity of the winner!

Thanks ! (maybe next time I'll start helping at clue 4!)

Posen! Missed ya at the 1st clue reading at central this year. I was there, though mainly because my car was in the shop so I was stuck here in the cities instead of vacation.
