The 2015 hunt’s upon us and tougher than ever
To unearth this medallion, you’ll have to be clever

Public lands, trails and fields are all fair game

As you embark upon your search for the prize
Focus on public spaces of significant size
With city map in hand and 61 as a dividing line
Stick to the east, and where activities intertwine

It’s Day 3 and time to continue your walk
Stick to parks with water, that tip’s a lock
Checking high lands and low ground, you need not get wet
You’re closing in now, that’s a sure bet

Kingston is site of the fest, but Highlands the loot
So off to that park perhaps you should scoot
The splash pad’s a blast, but far from it you’re best
Instead take a winding stroll toward the west
