2012 - Tony Schmidt Park

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 don't like it, but it does help pass the time until the clue comes out.

darkest land could refer to being hid in the woods maybe?

I wondered that too. But, I can't figure out the link.

Maybe. It just bugs me.

Another 20 minutes to see what arrangement is the unscrambled version of the clue.

Btw, I'm pretty sure the McKnights were Scottish not Irish.

The darkest nights are away from the light pollution of metropolitan areas.

good luck charm makes more sense to me...

maybe clover, horse shoes, rabbits foot, etc

I wish I was at Gabe's tonight instead of slaving over a hot stove! :frown: Great to meet a few more Coolerheads last night. See you out at a park, eventually. That darn brunch! WTH was I thinking?!!!

I still like my non-BC dark horse park, but we'll see if I'm still saying that 15 minutes from now.

BTW, I saw more hunters there than at Tony Schmidt when I drove by both of them after work. Also saw the woofing dog. :smile:

Isn't Shamrock pretty small, although the clues fit.
