Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt — January-February 1994

BoreasRex

Clue #1

Find the treasure at your leisure,
The search really is a lark.
But while enjoying winter's pleasure,
Remember to look in a park.

BoreasRex

Clue #2

Look around on public ground
To find the cherished bounty.
You'll be more lost than found
If you depart from Ramsey County.

BoreasRex

Clue #3

It's painted white and its size is right
For what you have in mind.
And if it comes within your sight,
You'll have a valuable find.

BoreasRex

Clue #4

Trees that grow but stay quite low
Will steer you on your way,
As will benches where people go
To eat on a summer's day.

BoreasRex

Clue #5

It can be a strain on the brain
To search for carnival treasure.
But if you seek elevated terrain,
Good things will come in due measure.

BoreasRex

Clue #6

A house for the old rises out of the cold
To serve as a monument on high.
As does an arch that's really quite bold,
So you'd better start looking nearby.

BoreasRex

Clue #7

Parking lots and games for nontots
Should attract your probing eyes.
You'd also be smart to seek out spots
Near the elongated name of a prize.

BoreasRex

Clue #8

An expanse of snow is where to go
To find the treasure round.
But as you search both high and low,
Don't tread on golfers' ground.

BoreasRex

Clue #9

If the winds blow and the goin's slow
And the search has left you glum,
Seek a road that winds to and fro
And you'll feel new knowledge come.

A proper spin will help you win
As you go searching here and there.
Think of something round and thin
That often flutters through the air.

BoreasRex

Clue #10

While going about your chosen route,
Consider water both old and new.
This will help you ferret out
The treasure hidden from view.

A place of games and a ring of flames
Will guide you on your mission.
And if you think of proper names,
Something French is a good addition.

BoreasRex

Clue #11

When the day turns dark and gray
And your luck seems truly awful,
You'll be headed on your way
By thinking of something lawful.

If all along you've been in the wrong,
Now's not the time to shed a tear.
Nor should you sing a doleful song
Instead, you ought to hum here.

BoreasRex

Clue #12

Hark! Hark! Head for Highland Park
To a field just north of the police station.
And if you're exactly on the mark,
You'll have cause for celebration.

Search if you could for a taped piece of wood
That hides the object of your pursuit.
And when you find it you'll feel mighty good
Because the winner takes home all the loot!
