2016 D-Rex & D-Ng Medallion Hunt

Summer's warmth -- pale in intensity,
Daylight shortens each day.
We embrace the darkness,
Won't you join our soiree?

The air becomes cold and dry,
It's quite the wake-up call.
Life starts all over again,
When it gets crisp in the fall.

Public land our medallion awaits,
Private? You must not trample!
Within this fair city we solidly state,
You’ll find it's more than ample.

The story -- be it short and sweet,
will challenge both your wits and feet.
Let’s begin the D&D Hunt,
The treasure is yours to reap!

The sun sets on a red horizon, night winds fill the air.
Globes of light dot the sky, pause to stop and stare.
The puck is hidden in plain sight yet cleverly disguised;
Only those with careful eyes will happen upon the prize.

Searching for a place to strike some gold, perhaps this could lend a hand?
Think of a Hoosier who came to town and rose to a position of command.
There's that feeling you'll get when you look to the west.
If you're the first, you'll win the medal -- for this we can attest.

Gaze up to the heavens, look to the skies, you'll get some help from above.
Have some patience, say a prayer, look to the city you love.
"Saints be praised!" you might say from atop this perch.
Your journey begins where pavement ends; thus begins your search.

Slowly descend, reach out a hand,ensure things are steady -- don't hit the skids!
Travel not too far, or you'll end in a place meant for kids.
Oh, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run,
Posted signs will draw you near the spot the pucks hidden.

Don't let bad weather bring you down, up on your feet, explore!
Twisting streets at crossings meet, at this bend you'll score.
From stately house to fowlish pond, winding roads and hill,
There's still time to change the road you're on, two signs gladly fit the bill.

Maintain your health, don't get sick, or you'll need to be on the mend.
Need a lift? Spirits down? Onward and upward, my friend!
Take a break if you get winded, no need to go all the way.
At some point step off the path, enjoy a comfortable stay.

Something, something -- stairs! plus Led Zep and Summit's beer.
Railing, steps, bending down, bronx cheer, hey look what's under here!
Built a billion dollar Empire - Railroad Magnate, what luck.
Bought a super duper magnet for just under a buck.

From the top of the hill at the crest the city, make your way down the stairs.
At a stop, step off the block, and search for a unique pair.
Two signs entwine that shouldn't be--yet here they do exist!
Look behind the light above, an iron will couldn't resist

Walk or drive, it's your choice, from Summit Avenue begin.
Down the stairs by J. Hill's house, or Irvine for the win.
At a break in the stair or where three roads combine,
On a lamppost at a crossing, twin street signs you will find.

Pleasant is a step too far, at Irvine & Irvine you should be.
Once you're at this corner, the lamppost you shall see.
Behind the post, on the rail, cleverly in disguise
A box is stuck, magnetized, and inside it, the prize!

Now you've found it, hooray for you! Our contest is at an end.
It's been our pleasure to host this hunt, enjoy Halloween, my friend!
