Clue 4

As you prepare to set sail on

your voyage

YouÂ’ll have to make an

important portage.

Floating along your

lucrative quest,

Steer your vessel to the

parks of the west!

No we didn't find it.

I starting to think its buried in the snow, ugh.

I have no problem digging all day for the one and only medallion but not for Dunn bros coffee.

Duh, found it. So let's do a little recap....

Clue #1

Sheldon's wrench is now lost in a park on the prairie.

Eden is sure, the place for your query.

The hunt is now launched for your pleasure today.

Come hunt for the wrench where we all play.

Clue #2

You'd see a pop fly, and skaters skate by

As Children jump and play.

I hope not to rile you up,

But you may walk your pup

In the place where your rusty prize lay.

Clue #3

The lake named after Jonas

was once Caroline for his wife so dear.

For the hunters abound who know this

It's no use to look around here.

Clue #4

As you prepare to set sail on your voyage

You'll have to make an important portage.

Floating along your lucrative quest,

Steer you vessel to the parks of the west!

Three more to go.

Ooops.....Sorry. Rookie mistake. :sheepish:

Let me reiterate.

DUH! Dopey me. I found Clue Four on the Dunn Bros site.

Now, where is that copy of the Hunter's Official Protocol and Etiquette Manual you promised me at Rehash :smile:

Well we have been looking right where it is supposed to be but its not there. I'm a little perplexed, it shouldn't be this hard.

Maybe today's clue will help.

use a pitch fork and probe the snow. It should 'clink" when found. Or borrow a metal detector. I think someone here has one...

I brought a tool today so I can probe the snow, don't have a fork but a rake should do.

Well I just got back and my suspicion was correct its buried in the snow. That is a little aggressive for $150.00 worth of coffee.

I of course spent 30 minutes digging cause i know the general whereabouts but the snow is nasty. Going to have to wait until tomorrow.

Clue 5

Ahoy ye land lovers

please take a bow

Are the clues making sense to you now?

In a town filled with lakes

of water sky blue

You'll only find the booty

if your diggin is true.

There is only 2 clues left and I know roughly where its at.

I hope to end this thing today, my wife loves Dunn Bros so of course I will dig for her, I just want to know I can go out there and dig it up quickly.

I am excitedly following Mr and Mrs Brass's coffee hunt. Too bad it's not Starbucks though, I am so addicted to frappucinos. I am even a Sbux gold member. Lame, huh?
