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.

CLUE NO. 11

Read the right sign then look up to the sky;

You'll be wired in then and won't go awry.

You're getting close, you're doing just fine.

With what you will see, this rhyme should align.

A sign about a fine under the power line?

I think the sign is the elmer anderson trail sign. Follow to the power lines and go up the hill

The name of the song is awesome considering that we talked about Yoda in the early clues. PP quit reading our board.

nope. keep digging. I just wonder how far along the line you need to move. The line goes all the way across the park. Id try 60 paces, 60 yards?

I don't want to go to bed. I want to go out to the park.

But if I am to survive tomorrow, I need some shuteye.

Goodnight and SCDs!

I hope to wake up in the morning and find that a coolerhead has found it.

Looks like the fervor is dying down a bit on this side, there is a hulluva lota hiding spots, tall grass, down trees, plenty of leaves...Don't know that its a productive time to dig right now, but since I'm short on battery power on my laptop I better get out there and dig (or somehow convince Marley that its ok to leave and come back in the morning).

Just got back. I like the west part of the park under the lines from th elmer andersen sign. The ravine was buzzing below. Lots of fun. I hope I have the opportunity to go out tomorrow. One more scramble would be great!

The funny thing is I worked on the scramble on a cocktail napkin at the bar at the bowling alley on County Road E. The bartender thought I was nuts I think...talking to myself and scribbling on a napkin. :goofy:
