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.

jake and I hit coon rapids and northdale-

also becksie popped out there!

I found it coincidental that the park we liked in Coon Rapids was on Northdale Dr.

theres a bell on harriet island and in every church (cathedral)

eye glass to see harriet from Cherokee

binoculars at ND, Highland, Mattocks

caves along cherokee and mounds and hidden falls -lock at hidden falls - could be attached to a combination lock - the clue could have a combination/ code that needs to be broken.

nice dinner bell find tim.

oh and he hasnt said its IN a park- I am thinking its on city property not a park.

maybe pigs eye monument above fountain cave

how about near the First Bank building or can see it

if your sitting in the right spot you can see the 1 downtown and then its hidden near that spot
Wed, 02/15/2006 - 6:55 PM Permalink
Terry

I don't see that connection. What makes you think the First Bank Building?
Wed, 02/15/2006 - 6:58 PM Permalink
me2

Ones nearby
Wed, 02/15/2006 - 7:02 PM Permalink
Terry

Oh.

I was thinking that meant places to sit...as in multiple seats, picnic tables, whatever.
Wed, 02/15/2006 - 7:06 PM Permalink
me2

But ye must wit which spot to sit,

Ones nearby might help make ye a winner.


than he could have said "its' nearby

the way its worded makes me think the number 1 is relavent

Funny how differently these can be interpretted.

When a person has a choice of where to sit, that means more than one.

But I see what you're saying too.

And I want to know who Raymond A Bissonette is/was that those tennis courts at North Dale are named for. It probably has nothing to do with the clues - but it's bugging me and I can't find anything that makes sense.

Maybe it's multiple diners or restaurants nearby.

Thanks. It's just one of those things that you think should be easy to find - but turns out quite differently.

If anyone was curious, no one has called yet to say they've found it, though some people have been out looking.

Chinooks—Warm West Winds

the word "chinook" itself is translated from the Chinook dialect as "snow-eater."

Chinook Wind is a flower

which was kind of fitting since we all now know that the park it was at really isn't a park at all :smile:

Or stay away from the Shepard Road end of the park.

Or simply saying it's along Warner Road instead of Shepard.
