2006 Allison Wonderland Mock Hunt

Submitted by KITCH on
Clue #1 
Thar's stories told thar's pirate's gold 
Stolen from ye olde martyr's stock 
To make yer haul, go search St. Paul 
You'll find the key is in the lock 

Clue #2 
The Chinook wind blows, and the gray sky snows 
As weary pirates seek shelter from the storm 
Just how much treasure will make yer pleasure? 
Thar’s a lot nearby but it shan’t make ye warm 

Clue #3 
A pirate must spy the stars with an eye 
And whilst navigating stay ever alert 
Misery'd prevail, if ye try to set sail 
In a ship aimed towards the rich Shepard's dirt. 

Clue #4 
“Grub at six bells,” the pirate yells, 
Zounds matey, tis nearly time for dinner. 
But ye must wit which spot to sit, 
Ones nearby might help make ye a winner. 

Clue #5 
A fire all aglow in me bungalow 
Tempts a pirate to spend me time in port 
But I’d best set sail and catch a strong gale 
To avoid me fateful, dire day in court. 

Clue #6 
When pirates sail by the sweet lorelei 
Aye, a careful prayer they must be keepin’ 
For her tempting call could well end it all 
And with the dead soldiers they’d be sleepin’. 

Clue #7 
“The way that be best to open ye chest 
Is to use a key”, the old pirate yawned. 
Disappoint it may, would you perhaps say, 
To be findin’ out the key had been pawned? 

Clue #8 
Tis a chain methinks fraught with many links 
That’s meanin’ yer close enough to smell’er 
Ye’d be no dummy hunting this mummy 
Aye, lest ye panic and go run yeller. 

Clue #9 
Skeletons sit silently, having not died violently, 
They’re simply sleeping through the winter days. 
Listen closely my dear, they say “Treasure is near, 
Buts if ye shall claims it, ye can not stays.” 

Clue #10 
Tis a park ye pursue, t’would be easy to view 
If’n ye knew the street whereby cars buzz 
But you’ll do just fine if ye get in line 
With what be the interstate that never was.

Mikey - It's good to see you again. I was thinking just yesterday that you'd been missing from these parts.

skeleton crews are a reference for everything (including boating), just being short staffed.

the covington inn on the island runs with a small crew.

A skeleton is a framework also. Either an unfinished structure or an open sided basic frame. Kind of like the amphitheater on Raspberry Island. Maybe that could be considered a skeleton and it's waiting for summer concerts.

We're back from looking. Too dark and cold to find stuff. Time for more noodling and then going out to look in the morning.

Isn't that wrap for preventing bark splitting from freezing/thawing cycles over the winter?

We have 3 clues left...and I suspect that we're still all over the place park wise.

Clue 5

It hardly seems appropriate

This time of the year,

But knowing this means

The treasure is near.

Refers to Summer Ave. which leads to the park.

Might be. I thought it was so deer and rabbits don't eat the bark in the winter.

Definitions of bong cooler on the Web:

The bong cooler or evaporative cooling tower is a bong-shaped device that is used to cool water to sub-ambient temperatures via evaporative cooling. These coolers are generally made of ABS or PVC pipe, have a diameter of a few inches, and are a few feet in height. A cold air intake branches off about 2/3's of the way down, and the area below it forms a large reservoir for the water. ...

There's gotta be some sort of word key in at least two of the clues. I'm tired of racking my brain on figuring out which words and which word game. There's just too many roads to go down.

From all the deer I've seen up north, they don't eat the bark from the trunk - but the younger branches - and hostas - and tomato plants - and bird seed.

Terry

I've looked for that too. I have found a couple things that might lead somewhere - but it doesn't go anywhere in the long run.

I keep looking especially at the clues with the key in them...thinking that's a hint of some sort of word game...but I can't find it.

There are some word games of sorts, though perhaps not as complicated as you might be thinking.

this hunt is reminding me more and more of that scary hunt me2 had at that playground/former cemetary...

I swear to god we saw a ghost cat out there one night....

man.... if we're being lead to another haunted park, or someplace near a cemetary, I'm gonna freak.....

especially if its that "Angel Of Death" cemetary off of Jackson.... I've had too many bad experiences in that place

Damn....
