As stated last week, you’ll be headed eastbound
But alter course before the coin is found
If early evening takes you on your quest
You’ll like this spot for its lovely sunset

Dusk, that is…eventide, beautiful

Just keep on track, don’t turn yourself around
The tips will come, and we hope they won’t confound
Here Mother Nature serves variety
In landforms present through eternity

Clue 3
Throughout this locale, see the trees in threes
Look to the north to view as many as you please
And down on the ground as on bended knee
You’ll witness the effects of a double-boughed tree

Wind, that is…crooked growth, nature’s plan

You’ll note an abundance of landscape and signs
Stoic red branches with bushes intertwined
You’ll want to be on foot as you head out through the park
Notice all the foliage sprouting out of the bark

Clue 4
Now venture to the west where the water meets the land
Straggly tall grass mingling with the frozen sand
Now a place of quiet and serenity
But often bursting forth with wild activity
Fun, that is, water sports, families!

Make a plan for your hunting—Searching high or low?
Ready for a climb, or stay on the path of snow…
Saplings line the forest edge, and sparse amenities
Provide the outdoorsman with life’s necessities

Clue 5
Come and join in the search going north by northwest
We want you to find it and we know you won’t rest
Scan scenery ahead for protruding trees
Dig down through the ground and that’s where it will be

The prize, of course. You have won! Turn it in!

Thank you for searching; we wish you success
We gave you the clues and you all did your best.
This verse marks the hunt’s finality
So come back next year to this locality!!!
