2011 Allison Wonderland Mock Hunt

If you're not planning to be at the Rehash Bash, you can still register by sending me the money via Paypal to this email address or send me an email and I'll give you an address to send the check to. 

I expect we'll get a big turnout this year so there should be some good competition. 

Clue #1

It seems the PP had trouble you see 
With many cries of things that went afoul 
Were attacks baseless? You might think tasteless, 
Some considered throwing in the towel. 

With a hunt cut short plans had to abort 
The poor kiddies just did not understand 
But no need to fear, a new hunt is here 
The Mock Hunt by Allison Wonderland 

Let's be obvious, not so devious, 
And say plainly it's in a St. Paul park. 
Buried in the snow, you might want to know 
At least ten paces to the closest mark 

Clue #2

If this hunt's taxing, maybe relaxing 
Would be nice off in a warm floral home 
But like the big fall where once they played ball 
You will not be able to spot a dome. 

Clue #3

Hunters get surly when hunts end early 
Leaving them hardly time to sit and eat. 
Yet a reminder, a two time finder, 
Well you'll see that he has no time for cold feet 

Clue #4

Prove you're not knaves where towers by graves 
Loom ominously on the horizon 
Don't focus on wealth, take care of your health 
An ill body can cause you to wizen 

Clue #5

If treasure you seek, make your move oblique 
You can no longer go to the castle 
To show expertise stay close to the trees 
And finding the coin will seem quite facile. 

Clue #6

Digging in the cold or panning for gold 
Is a hard way to come by quick riches. 
Pick up a guitar, become a rock star 
Soon you’ll be surrounded by…ladies. 

Clue #7

A great house of law is not made from straw 
Yet the pulse of a building can be stilled 
Its stones not eschewed, their purpose renewed 
For here yet is land on which to rebuild. 

Clue #8

With some derring-do and a fearless crew 
You could find treasure out on the open sea 
But you’ll come up short if too close to port 
So go starboard and stick around for tea. 

Clue #9

So where do you go with all of this snow? 
You might be driving in circles by now. 
Best look for a boat, one that does not float 
And steer away from its snow covered bow 

Clue #10

On a snowy night, by a street lamp’s light 
From up on high we bid the coin adieu. 
There will be no hints for we left no prints 
You see, that night, the medallion, it flew.
