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.

Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary: This 35-acre nature preserve is being developed on downtownÂ’s eastern edge. Contaminated soil is being removed from the area that housed a railroad shop and yard for nearly 100 years. The city has decided, for now at least, to seal the front of the historic CarverÂ’s Cave to protect the site. Work is under way on a link from the Bruce Vento Trail to downtown along a separate path and streets.

soil was removed???

She was drowned in suicide

faithless lover cast aside

This is how she came to be

Lorelei of the sea

Hopes destroyed she wanted to find

certain death peace of mind

Now you wonder who is she

Lorelei of the sea

Many tales I've been told

of sailors having died

After seeing a mermaid known as

Lorelei

Faithless lover that is me

and she siren of the sea

Next time that the seagulls fly

Don't you cry sweet Lorelei

Seagulls fly

when mermaids cry

Those tears won't dry

for Lorelei

Seagulls fly

when mermaids cry

Those tears won't dry

for Lorelei

The guilt is mine I was untrue

the question is what am I to do

All I know is I got to try

try to find sweet Lorelei

Make amends for what's been done

cause I believe that she's the one

And I will go where seagulls fly

try to find sweet Lorelei

Seagulls fly

when mermaids cry

Those tears won't dry

for Lorelei

Seagulls fly

when mermaids cry

Those tears won't dry

for Lorelei

There she is I hear her cry

asking me if I will die

There ain't nothing I won't do

for you, Lorelei, Lorelei

Seagulls fly

when mermaids cry

Those tears won't dry

for Lorelei

Seagulls fly

when mermaids cry

Those tears won't dry

(oh, I'm coming for you)

for Lorelei

Seagulls fly

when mermaids cry

Those tears won't dry

for Lorelei

Seagulls fly

when mermaids cry

Those tears won't dry

for Lorelei

(oh, I'm coming for you)

(oh, I'm coming for you)

When I think of lorelei my head turns all around

As gentle as a butterfly she moves without a sound

I call her on the telephone, she says be there by eight

TonightÂ’s the night sheÂ’s moving in and I can hardly wait

The way she moves, ooh-ooh

I gotta say

Lorelei letÂ’s live together

Brighter than the stars forever

Lorelei letÂ’s live together

Brighter than the stars forever

Her eyes become of paradise, she softly speaks my name

She brightens every lonely night, no oneÂ’s quite the same

She calls me on the telephone, she says be there by eight

TonightÂ’s the night sheÂ’s moving in, itÂ’s time to celebrate

The way she moves, ooh-ooh

I gotta say

Lorelei letÂ’s live together

Brighter than the stars forever

Lorelei letÂ’s live together

Brighter than the stars forever

By Styx - as in branches :eyeroll: :chagrin:

I was actually out in one or the other park for about 4 hours, I think! Didn't come up with squat. Well, actually I've found a Rolling Stones CD, a golf ball, and a football
