2022 Wahkon Days Hunt for the Lucky Lure

Walkin talkin… there’s a treasure hunt a knockin
Wahkon Days 2022 is about to start rockin!
In just two days the stages will be set
Parked and ready for the quart and quint-et.
In the mean time don’t miss the clue du jour
Welcoming you to pursue the Lucky Lure!

If you’ve participated in our treasure hunts past
You know all the rules, from beginning to last
But if you’re new to our game you might need extra hints,
it will only be found on public property, within city limits.
Look up, look down, take a second look around
Its almost 50/50 whether its on or off the ground

Suspended but still animated,
I’m a deep diver, an excess survivor,
Ascended to somewhere terminated.
A lesson learned every year,
To study the clues, but not to confuse
Word play with what seems so clear.

Remember no climbing while out scouting the lure
There’s a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings

While out scouting on this historical trek
If you find our stash you can cash the check
With your excess winnings buy some real estate
And then take your honey out for a roller date.

Still in the dark about where the treasure is parked?
Lets try one more word game to help get you sparked!
You might find a blaring pickup with a trainee helpful,
Turning a phrase with 3 into 5 could make you successful!

Its Sunday morning and one thing we know is true
the lure has not been found and its time for the final clue!
Lets recap the prior clues and what you should have learned so far…



In clue 2 we allude to the height of our hide,
name the closest street, second, and reference city pride.
The other key word, Public, could be found on the sign nearby.

Clue 3 describes our lure, a deep diver that was salvaged from the beach, and its position suspended in the air
The acrostic word play gives you alley, to be fair.
In clue 4 we wanted to remind people to be safe,

As the song lyrics bring up the obvious title, Stairway,
And the missing 4th line alludes to the next line in the song, not so obvious, in a tree
The historical tour mentioned in clue 5,

can be found on cityofwahkon.com,
gives you a glimpse of days long gone
and what you could do near the treasure.

And clue 6 tells you to go to street view in Google maps
The Boy Scout can recycling trailer nearby was prominent
Its no longer there, but hidden by the tall grass the stairs remain

Clue 7 was a tough one, but if you figured out the anagram
With everything else, could have the treasure in hand –
The three words to anagram - blaring pickup trainee
Turn into five helpful words – public parking in a tree
