Dispatch-Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt — January-February 1983

Somewhere here
In Ramsey County
Is the wonderful
Royal Bounty.

To some our clues
May sound like mumbles,
But that's the way
The cookie crumbles.

Right close by
Within the city
Lies a treasure
That's mighty pretty.

You can have fun
If you're a swinger
Please pay attention
Cause this is a zinger.

Bid no trump
And take your trick.
This will help you
Make your pick.

Folks got there
In Packards or Reos
Here's a double clue
For Toms, Dicks and Cleos.

Snowmobile folks
Are strictly verboten
This is a clue
That's well worth notin'.

He ran for governor,
But didn't make it.
Here's a clue
If you'll only take it.

There are enough trees around
For a crew of loggers
But in modern times,
It's better for joggers.

If in school you get all F's
This is what you're doin'.
But play your hunch, pack a picnic lunch
And go on with your clue-in.

A mushroom shape
Is in sight nearby.
A great place for
Picnics or a treasure to lie.

In Phalen Park's cold picnic ground
It will pay to look around
Search near a small, not shapely tree
Where a packet of cookies waits for thee.
