2012 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt - Tony Schmidt Park
2012 Clues 

So its back to the drawing board for next year 
to find a spot so deep and drear. 
Harder to reach all you whiners 
than those buried Chilean miners. 

Next year's clues will inspire dread 
requiring knowledge of languages dead, 
Higher math rocket science 
disbanding every hunters alliance. 

I take your leave. I bid adieu. 
I go in search of the perfect clue. 
Prepare to hike hard dig deep and delve. 
Will have a grand party in 2012.

I went around looking for those myself tonight. My guess is the press just assigned some people to go hide them, and they just went to parks and tossed them out quick. That's why people that do find them find more than 1.

I'm hoping they have another batch to toss out before the weekend, otherwise I doubt I'll be seeing any of them.

I started out on the maplewood side of battle creek myself tonight. I had a good feeling that it might be there. However, I think it's going to be another hide in the woods, and there are a lot of woods out there.

Treasured lore still makes me think the CW is referring to an infamous past hunt.

Like Chair-o-key or COcoa MOcha, or the Green doughnut incident....

Also a road interfacial could be Railroad.

Perhaps it was just my experience but we went down by the playground/shelter at BC and there was a very nice man driving a flat bed tow truck scouting out the parking lots? I didn't know what he was doing, so to be safe: we parked elsewhere!

I think they might toss out some more this weekend because if there is a 1000 out there not a lot of people reporting them here or pp boards they are reporting them but not any wheres near 1000 yet hell I dont think I have heard about 200 yet!

Also, in Clue #4, some words are inappropriately capitalized.

All caps spells Brewwr or alternatively Wwebrr

Were you in a red car? That was MarleyKing's brother Scot. He does roadside assistance/towing work. He had a couple calls at BC today (and he's a treasure hunter, so...)

OK, this one's a little harder (for us feeble minds anyway).

All I'm getting right now is the rhyming ends of the stanzas....brighten/lighten and crackin'/trackin'

Probably "get crackin'"

If it's treasure you're trackin' ??

    Except Conway has no trees at all, and there hasn't been much snow until recently. I was there for that hunt, found in ice in the baseball diamond/hockey rink I believe.
