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.

I believe you. I think I seen her taking a standing leak next to me in my restroom. She picked up the guy next to me to make room for herself. :confused: :worried:

I was out at the park today. Saw an A&W bottle. I thought it was a sign, but I didn't find anything unfortunately.

I saw an A & W bottle at como while looking for an AW hunt, but I didn't find the medallion :frown:

Just finished writing up all the explanations. Now we just need someone to find it. Not that today is the greatest day to be out looking for it. I suspect there will be more people looking tomorrow.

allison- do we need to know how to swim to find the medallion?

I think the rules were pretty clear about not going in or on water.

Here is your new clue:

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 findinÂ’ out the key had been pawned?

And the previous clues:

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 #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 #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 #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 #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 #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.

A missing key.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Sat, 02/18/2006 - 4:12 PM Permalink
Terry

So if the key is missing in clue 7, it got pawned after clue 1. Hehehehehehe
Sat, 02/18/2006 - 4:15 PM Permalink
Randahl

frog pawned.

w00t

fricken so knew it!!

I think there's a cipher in the clues that you need a key to solve.
Sat, 02/18/2006 - 5:08 PM Permalink
Terry

If the key is gone, all that's left is the lock.

OT - You may be right about that.

I'd rather have cider, than cipher at this point....hot apple cider

damn its cold outside....

becksie

It's really not that bad out...I've been out most of the day and early evening, too.

Not like last night...it was COLD! but I was out anyway, and lived through it

KITCH

pawned off>>>fake??

or loaned out??

I'm kinda wondering about a fake key...
Sat, 02/18/2006 - 7:44 PM Permalink
Terry

I bet the treasure is in a pawn shop somewhere!

I have looked at these clues and noodled plenty - but this key thing - or lack thereof - has me stymied.

I have thought about key to my heart, a locket, a lock, a key hole that is empty, and mostly what I think is feasible for a hunt is that the treasure is hidden inside a locket or the lock on the river near the Ford plant is key. The one other thought is that key shaped window at North Dale that is keyless.
Sat, 02/18/2006 - 8:39 PM Permalink
Wicked Nick

that key shaped window has bothered me, for whatever reason, since it was first noted......

I've only checked the place out for a short amout of time..... I dont know what to think about it...

was watching national treasure tonight, they talked about seperating the key from the lock...

we need to hook up ---again

Allison Wonderland

No one has called to say they've found it yet.

It's possible today's clue may come out a bit late. I have somewhere to be from 3-6 and if I don't get out early, I'll just have to post the clue when I do get home which shouldn't be too much later.

I second the early clue suggestion :goofy:

If the Pioneer Press can do it to begin the WC hunt, surely AW can do it too...

hmmmm...I'm wondering if we would find a clue at "northdale" that tells us to go somewhere else...

Terry

So I was all set to spend the day out hunting - and now the dang furnace isn't running this morning. First step is to replace the thermostat. If that doesn't do the trick, we'll be calling in the furnace guys - and on Sunday that isn't cheap.

Argh!!!!!

sounds like the furnace problem happens to a coolercrew during every hunt lately
