It’s there, below it, but you must first believe it.

Three in a row? Say it ain't so!
Three hides with height, three birds in flight.
Three platted areas of old,
but only one will lead to the gold.

The official meaning of the clue.

3rd treasure in a row hidden off the ground, 3 birds in flight are on garage on adjacent property. If you look back at Wahkon history, the three original platted areas that eventually made up the city of Wahkon are Lawrence, Pottstown and Wahkon, some of our clues reference streets on the Pottstown Plat

To unwrap our mystery
Look closely, study your history
The main thing to find
Is a tree of the right kind.

The official meaning of the clue.

Telling you that you will need to look closely and for something to unwrap. Tree is a double meaning referring both to it being hidden on a tree and if you look at the old historical plats and find the right kind of tree - Pine - that would put you in Pottstown on the street perpendicular to the trail the treasure was hidden by.

Stay to the right going west - is that for bikes?
Or stay to the right going east - is that for you?

Line up from Onamia to Isle - but it won't be on it.

The official meaning of the clue.

Refers to the signs on the Soo Line Trail as well as signs on the highway near the treasure area. Also, the first letters of the first three sentences give you Soo and the last sentence starts with Line, together giving you Soo Line.
