Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt — January-February 1998

BoreasRex

Clue #1

The season has begun for wintry fun,
And here's what you need to know.
If you want to end up as the lucky one,
A St. Paul park is where you must go.

BoreasRex

Clue #2

In the neighborhood are water and woods
And lots of scenery all around.
So if you want to find the hidden goods
Look for a place with high ground.

BoreasRex

Clue #3

Roses don't bloom in winter's gloom,
But a "Rosebud" could still give pleasure.
So watch for a place where kids like to zoom,
And you just might take home our treasure

BoreasRex

Clue #4

A large object in view will help guide you,
But first you'll have to crack our code.
So here's a demo of the mode to pursue,
As you hunt for the mother lode.

BoreasRex

Clue #5

We'd be the first to say that a place to play
Can make any winter more pleasurable.
City streets will also show you the way
To riches that are almost immeasurable.

BoreasRex

Clue #6

If you're on the wrong track don't blow your stack,
Just look for a plume of smoke in the skies.
With this in view, you'll soon be back
In the hunt for our valuable prize.

BoreasRex

Clue #7

If you just don't know where to go
Here's a clue to aid your decision:
The medallion that promises lots of dough
Is near a line of double division.

BoreasRex

Clue #8

To keep up the pace and win our race,
There's no need to wander to and fro.
Instead you should look near a place
Where three pyramids rise over the snow.

BoreasRex

Clue #9

To unlock the door and be at the fore
Of the crowds traipsing across our city,
Some advice you simply can't ignore
Is to think of the person who runs a committee.

BoreasRex

Clue #10

A cape and a whip can be really hip,
Though we don't recommend such attire.
Consider this a worthwhile tip
If it's treasure to which you aspire.

BoreasRex

Clue #11

To stay in our game and earn some fame,
you'll need to find the right zone.
Just stay near locals which claim
A sugary loaf and yellow stone.

BoreasRex

Clue #12

Your luck will be nil until you go west from a hill
near Chippewa Avenue and Wyoming Street.
By a pair of trees is where you might have a thrill,
But avoid the ravine or you'll lose out on the treat.

Now peer through the trees until you can see
The Capitol dome gleaming far to the north.
Then look down for a sock stitched with "Old Navy"
And our treasure you'll at last bring forth.
