2012 Allison Wonderland Mock Hunt

Submitted by Clue Master on
Clue 1: 

Oh how we shudder when flakes start to flutter 
For the poor treasure is covered with snow 
Oh how we shiver with hope but a sliver 
But in truth, to heights of glory you'll go. 

Clue 2: 

In personal lore, those who came before 
Sit near in territory forbidden 
In medallion lore, a singular score 
Gives a clue to where the loot is hidden. 

Clue 3: 

To connect the dots, go line up your shots. 
You’ll have to travel a bit but not much. 
When you’re in the clear and the coin is near, 
There is water you can see but not touch. 

Clue 4: 

Though you might pledge to live life on edge 
There's value powering up the middle. 
For the spot is marked where you're double parked. 
See if you can figure out that riddle. 

Clue 5: 

For finding the puck, just look to the buck. 
It will give a clue to the hidden stash. 
X will mark the spot if you spy its slot. 
Stay under three and you can win the cash 

Clue 6: 

How do hunters know where their shovels go? 
Do we dot the landscape with snow divots? 
As an advisor I'd say dig wiser. 
Check your books. On that your success pivots 

Clue 7: 

Searching to and fro, best to go in slow. 
Take a leisurely walk and do not run. 
You shan't have a care out there in fresh air 
Where day or night you can bask in the sun 

Clue 8: 

Some places to play keep boredom at bay 
 But seeing three thousand might make me wince. 
Let's ourselves excuse, maybe get some booze. 
We'll spend the prize to party like a prince. 

Clue 9: 

If you need a spark to find the right park 
Seek one that has a variety of sports. 
But don't stop to play, instead I would say 
It would be best to look between two courts. 

Clue 10: 

Go give it your best while out on this quest 
And you may qualify to be knighted 
But if you digress, this you must address. 
As it may prove you’re beyond nearsighted 

Clue 11: 

Come on now, with aid you can still get paid. 
Crying o’er naught will always yield zip. 
Your fate will be sealed out there in the field 
Where there’s nothing else on which you might trip.

Bwah, great, now you jinxed it!

So far so good, I cross my fingers every day I drive it. Granted, I really don't drive too far every day. I'm close enough to work now, I'm considering walking when the weather permits.

wow, 45 msgs...thought it was found. Guess not.

I think it will be found when the 3 yr olds mother washes his dirty pants and finds it in the washing machine. Just my 2 cents. :goofy:

I went out at lunch and saw 1 guy from aw's group(Kyle?) looking. No one else exept a city parks girl picking up trash. Told her to check the trash before tossing it in case she picked it up. Told her she could win $100. She thanked me and assured me she would check the stuff shes picking up.

I did go out late last night to try and verify the presence of the treasure. Unfortunately, I was not able to. The fact that I couldn't find it in the dark doesn't necessarily mean it isn't there, but it certainly doesn't bode well. There were signs that someone had been searching in that area already. So that implies that it did indeed wander off somehow and is no longer in the park or that possibly it got stepped on and covered up and will be nearly impossible to find. That leaves something of a dilemma at this point.

To be honest, I don't recall the exact spot it was hidden, only roughly. I thought I had hidden it in such a way that you wouldn't really notice it unless you were actively looking for it, but if you were looking, you would see it once you got close enough. That much is clearly no longer the case. Yet I hesitate to end the hunt simply because I wasn't able to find it in the dark. So I think this will be the plan.

Based on what I have told you here, you can decide for yourself if you want to keep looking or not today. I will still release the final clue tonight at 6:30 and we'll see what happens then. If it's not found by midnight tomorrow, then there's probably no point in continuing the search another day and we'll have to call a mulligan. I thought about putting out another medallion last night, but there's no guarantee it won't disappear also.

If it comes to that, I think we will have to have another hunt. I'm open to feedback if people want another full fledged mock hunt, or if maybe a one day showdown of some sort on an upcoming weekend would be better.

I prefer another hunt myself but let's see if we cant find it !!

Headed out now. Finding the puck when the hider can't proves its the hardest hunt yet. I wanna find the hardest hunt myself. Can't call it off. It's too nice if a day to do that.
Wed, 03/14/2012 - 5:15 AM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

I just came into possession of some evidence that the medallion is still in fact out there and in its original hiding spot. I can't say what the evidence was exactly but its pretty definitive. So the hunt is on and clue 12 will come out at 6:30 if it isn't found before then.

Does that evidence mean it was found. I left and came back out after the post. Everyone that was here is gone.
Wed, 03/14/2012 - 7:45 AM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

It wasn't found per se, but it was located by an outside party. It is still in the same spot.

Heh. Did anyone see a white rabbit running through Conway?

If anyone wants to meet me out there text or call me. Sounds like a small needle in a giant haystack.

Indeed, I just confirmed that Rob found it. It was hidden in the grass in line with the two poles of the basketball court roughly in line with the house that has a wreath on it. I will post the explanations to my Yahoo group if someone can copy them here.
