We beckon all Warriors who seek our bounty
At the finest institution in Winona County
Upon this Homecoming ’15 season
A hunt worth pursuing with good reason
Keep in mind spots forbidden, and you’re off to the races
Steer clear of permanent structure and out-of-reach places
Many seekers, you must dodge
The prize you seek bear camouflage
Narrow your focus when beginning your quest
Your first hint comes, not east nor west

The winds away have blown”
