Submitted by Administrator on
2017 Hi-Way Golden Puck Logo

The first puck has been found, but the hunt isn't over.

We'd like to congratulate Steve and Jeannie Worthman for finding the first Hiway Gold Puck so amazingly quickly. The married couple found the puck, hidden in a free-trade coffee bag in Carver Lake Park, after just one clue posted on Friday, February 24. You can find out more in the press release.

Because we'd like to keep the fun going, we are hiding another puck to continue the hunt. Hidden somewhere on public land in Ramsey, Hennepin or Dakota County is a second gold colored hockey puck. New clues about its location will be announced every Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. from March 3 – March 31, 2017.

FIND THE SECOND PUCK AND WIN

$1,000

If you are the lucky person to find it, you will see a code and a phone number for you to call on the puck.

Legions encamped upon its lot

The official meaning of the clue.

“Legions encamped upon its lot, Weapons of war they had not” indicates the “army” that stayed there did not carry guns or weapons. Salvation Army camps provide children, some of whom come from challenging family situations and living conditions, with a safe place to play and learn, hence the clue “There young comrades found safe quarters, a retreat from life’s shells and mortars.” The puck is hidden in Silverwood Park, a one-time Salvation Army camp, located in St. Anthony.

Harmony and chaos in nature abound
Forage for gold that waits to be found
The hunt you’re on need now take shape
