Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt — January 2013

BoreasRex

Clue #1

So last year's hunt proved pretty tough,
Filled with red herrings, bluster and bluff.
Expect more reprise in this year's hunt.
Use high tech gear, but no cheating stunt.

The outer limit is the Ramsey line;
On public land you'll do just fine.
Don't hunt in a place where you play a round.
Don't dig deep holes or tear up the ground.

BoreasRex

Clue #2

Giving the clues away for a song
Turned out to be so very wrong.
So, with apology quite humble,
We'll stick to mixing clues in a jumble.

Hunt alone or council for luck,
But only one can find the puck.
Finder decides with whom to share
Like that famous "Happy Holidays" pair.

BoreasRex

Clue #3

Walk your dog or jog a bit.
Grab your honey, park and sit.
Ride a bike; exercise the kids;
Winter allows what summer forbids.

BoreasRex

Clue #4

Ups and downs are the treasure hunt story.
Fun for all; for one some glory.
If you're not clever and can't see the rhyme,
Yellow mashed rice is well worth your time.

BoreasRex

Clue #5

Nature does what nature wills
And gobbles up man's silly frills.
"Don't fence me in" might be the song,
But spotting a fence won't lead you wrong.

BoreasRex

Clue #6

"Think outside the box" was last year's clue;
This year another shift is due.
Get schooled in time - think bark on a tree -
Wheel of fortune implies you foresee.

BoreasRex

Clue #7

Whatever may be your political bent,
For this year's hunt thank the 1 percent.
One for the money, two for the go,
Look for the medallion under ice and snow.

BoreasRex

Clue #8

Yon a car wash cuts to the chase,
And equal rights define a place.
Down under there's ice; don't bruise your buns.
Calling a doctor will help you tons.

BoreasRex

Clue #9

Sneak a peek at our simple rhymes,
Which could lead you to better times.
A second idea from a subtle clue --
Pause a moment for a heavenly view.

He worked for the homeless, the great outdoors,
And little creatures who run on all fours.
As best to say - "He was a good man."
Study his path the best that you can.

BoreasRex

Clue #10

Hark, ye lovers of woodland creatures.
Cheekiest? Rumpiest? Judge their features.
Gopher or chipmunk; squirrel or rabbit --
Find their home, a park they inhabit.

BoreasRex

Clue #11

The end draws nigh, no time to be wary --
“Hark cheekiest gopher” and not sanctuary.
When “you are here,” you're in the right place;
The treasure lies near, in an icy embrace.

Don't trail away from Boreas land.
Search generally east from where you should stand.
If you want to survive, if you want to thrive,
Now is the time to revisit Clue Five.

BoreasRex

Clue #12

We've reprised a location; it's Cherokee Park.
Near a fence that's embedded deep in tree bark.
From the Bruce Vento Trail, near Annapolis Street,
Between sidewalk and woods is the path you must beat.

Nested under the snow the treasure is found --
From the fence search 10 feet on the ground all around.
With treasure in hand and button in tow,
The Pioneer Press is the place you must go.
