So, you’re back on the trail of the medallion after a couple years of rest. This year one thing to remember is that facing east best, but first you will need to head west.

As you approach it should be obvious where to halt. If you pass by, it will be your fault.

As you reflect on hunts of the past, this year you will need to adjust. For being open to an imposter is a must. They are not all sus, this one you can trust.

Like a great detective on the trial of the medallion with a mystery you are trying to unfold. Don’t let the clues lead you down the wrong road. Some may lead nowhere, sometimes they will end, and sometimes they go cold. One hint I can give you is that this is where Robert Frost would have strolled.

Goats roamed in and goats roamed out. Some old goats would come here to blow off some steam before roaming about. The place has changed, but it is still the same, it is now near my route.

In life there are many parallel paths you can take, although some may not be grand. One of mine is like driftwood that just washed up on the sand. But you will find me farther inland.

Pushing left or pushing right my hiding spot will be unsealed. As it swings open, I will be revealed. I
am hidden in something that is meant to be noticed, in it I am concealed. Orange and black point the way
as you walk away from the bay.
