Clue #1

The time has come around again
For using all your cunning and ken
To unravel Boreas' befuddling clues
Circulated in the PiPress news.

Within our realm explore and search.
No private properties besmirch.
The treasure rests in a public park.
On a course for golf, please leave no mark.

Clue #2

It's time to get this off our chest:
Mix treasured lore into your quest.
Triple score provides a clue;
So do the colors red and blue.

Clue #3

Crack the nut and find the treasure.
There's a place to cook and a place for leisure.
A road there is that's interfacial.
Bag the treasure if you're able.

Clue #4

"Woof" says the dog. "Babble" says the brook,
And here is wisdom on which to make book:

Exactly as a Roman should do

This clue will brighten up your way.

Let us stop the haw and hem
And get you looking for the gem.
Incorporate thinking outside the box.
Sort it out as you like it - opportunity knocks.

Clue #7

Search the land through darkest night;
Follow the crowd to the treasure's site.
Wear warm clothes, and don't come to harm.
And bring along your good luck charm.

Clue #8

Many there are in many a park;
Find the right one, and you're close to the mark.
Think big, and you'll be right in the game
When you spot a place with a special claim.

Clue #9

From miles around they came to stay
A night or two, then on their way
To reap the riches fall can yield --
The delicacy of a watery field.

BoreasRex

Clue #10

If you are now taken aback,
Then you are, my friend, on the right track.
Benches, tables, gazebos galore
To sit and admire the view from the shore.

But yours is not to sit or rest;
To scramble and search will serve you best.
Respect the land where people dwell.
But follow your nose to the nearer end smell.

BoreasRex

Clue #11

Read the right sign then look up to the sky;
You'll be wired in then and won't go awry.
You're getting close, you're doing just fine.
With what you will see, this rhyme should align

BoreasRex

Clue #12

In Arden Hills, in Tony Schmidt Park
Is the treasured place to which you embark.
Here at last will end our tale -
Up hill from the Elmer L. Andersen Trail.

Follow the trail past pavilion and slides
Just in the woods the treasure hides.
Keep well away from marshy lands,
And do not dig in playground sands.

The wires are up, the treasure is low,
Your back is up against a pole.
You see the pines near dead ahead?
Six paces from them in a leafy bed.
