As we head to the Avenue numbered right by Rudolph Johnson,
Then on the east side of town is where we’ll be walkin’.
To find the street of an equal number you will land,
If you count down to Victor, then as his name you will stand.

At the corners found numbered by Rudolph and Victor,
Walk southeast but be careful of this endless winter.

Straight between the old lucky mare’s footwear,
And the ballfield you’ll find the treasure you seek there.
Through oaks, maples, firs to look to for the spot,
To find the cedars with their hidden jackpot.

If you’re reading today then my clues have not found,
A reader in whom both history and courage abound.

Just west in the cedars is buried your goal.
