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 was back by the swamp on the ?east? side earlier and there was a skunk smell. If anyone found my daughters snow man out there she is praying you won't wreck it I assured her nobody in the CC would touch it but can't say for sure about anyone else.

Bathrooms right next to gazebo right next to dumpster right next to porta potty - just be patient for the real clue - If I was able to stay up tonight in the park I'd still be waiting by my car or wherever is a warm spot out of the wind

first part is something like

I'm in awe of the abilities of those that can unscramble these clues and make sense of them prior to the real one. Even if it's off, it's fun to see what they come up with. Passes time too.

With some help from my Yahoo group:

Benches, gazebos, and tables galore,

Sit to admire the view from the shore

Now if you are taken aback

Then you my friend are on the right track

Track was used in a previous clue, wasn't it? Too painful to look em up now. Sorry.

But the second stanza might send you away from there.

Clue No. 10

If you are now taken aback,

Then you are, my friend, on the right track.

Benches, tables, gazebos galore

To sit and admire the view from the shore.

But yours is not to sit or rest;

To scramble and search will serve you best.

Respect the land where people dwell.

But follow your nose to the nearer end smell.

That's nice of you. I need to find some with sterling silver hooks. I have a metal allergy. If it's not gold or silver, I can wear them about 10 minutes.

end smell? ... makes me think of farts or poo :lipsealed:

Zactly - they're not going to give a hiding place on 9th clue - this is more generic B.S. about the park - but it does look like they are describing the lake shore side and not the Ball fields, if that helps

Yeah, sounds like they're just describing the park better. As best I can figure (like I can figure anything), it's not going to be on the lake side of the park. But possibly south of the railroad tracks?

"nearer end smell" = rends Elmer Lane

Rends- To tear or split apart or into pieces violently.

Park, park, park...but I do think this may be putting people closer to the open area across from the beach.
