Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt — January-February 1996

BoreasRex

Clue #1

Come one, come all to the medallion ball,
Our hunt for the Treasure is free.
You'll do best to stay in St. Paul
And avoid private property.

BoreasRex

Clue #2

One thing to mark as you start this lark
Is that the wintry sanctum of this lode
Can be found within a public park;
Think of it as Tobacco Road.

BoreasRex

Clue #3

Make it your goal to win some dough
As you struggle along this quest.
But don't stray too far from H2O,
And please lay your litter to rest.

BoreasRex

Clue #4

Often the host will shout his toast
As glasses are raised in the air.
You'll find the reward you covet the most
If you make this a can-do affair.

BoreasRex

Clue #5

If you are wise you will surmise
That these clues hold a secret name.
But don't always believe your eyes
For we're playing a tricky game.

BoreasRex

Clue #6

Somewhere the Treasure awaits your pleasure
Near a place for biking and hiking.
So search for the trophy at your leisure
And you may win a prize to your liking.

BoreasRex

Clue #7

Name a notable black man and he'll help you track
This terribly perplexing mystery.
You'll find one of his works not far back
From the place where you ought to be.

BoreasRex

Clue #8

Once you know how to go with the flow
You'll never meet a deterrent.
If you want your wallet to grow
Think of two kinds of current.

BoreasRex

Clue #9

Though you may ponder where to wander
Don't worry about losing your way.
The treasure is somewhere out yonder
And finding it is child's play.

The next thing to know is the first place to go
And that makes sense when you look on high.
But to press this quest you'll need to stay low;
Just keep your eye on the old guy going by.

BoreasRex

Clue #10

Help from a queen or king isn't the thing
That will make your chances increase.
If you really want to start profiting
Take a hint from a lesser piece.

Expect to recover an object whose cover
Bears the lusty old legend "Skoal."
You won't need to look for any other
If winning the reward is your goal.

BoreasRex

Clue #11

Something past that just didn't last
Will give you a helpful clue.
But you'd better start moving fast
Or the winner won't be you!

Pursue the prize with open eyes
And be wary of any turbulence.
Keep this in mind and to your surprise
This clue will make superb sense.

BoreasRex

Clue #12

Something past that just didn't last
Will give you a helpful clue.
But you'd better start moving fast
Or the winner won't be you!

Pursue the prize with open eyes
And be wary of any turbulence.
Keep this in mind and to your surprise
This clue will make superb sense.
