Coldest's Lost Treasure Hunt — May 2013

MedallionMilitia

CLUE #1

Once again the time has come,
Let the hunters hunt, and have their fun.
Don't tear up the park or private property.
Answer the clues correctly you'll receive prosperity not poverty.

Red herrings love to distort, figure them out don't be sold short,
Obey the rules of the game and don't be a poor sport.
May is the month of flowers, but can still bring rain,
Play in it if you must, but taking shelter might bring some gain.

CLUE #2

If you remember to have fun, it wont matter who lost and who won,
But give it your all, and swing hard to hit the home run.
I'll be frank the treasure is naked, to some this may be taboo,
Dig and search for a machine then you wont be so blue.

CLUE #3

It's very clear, some clues can cause frustration,
But do not fear, this park has plenty of recreation.
Use your brain, think link and chain.
Find one germane, to a european lane.

MedallionMilitia

CLUE #4

The clues may have you going to and fro,
Go against gravity, then to prosperous heights you will go.
Trek hard to find this blessed grove,
Use cremation, then rebirth to help find the treasure trove.

CLUE #5

Make the right pass to claim the cash,
But do not travel, keep it under control.
You can stay hot, using a bending shot.
With a great assist, you might be able to score the goal.

CLUE #6

Pick up the slack, you must stay on track,
Don't catch the red herring disease.
To help find the prize, it would be wise,
To ponder a certain type of cheese.

CLUE #7

Be smart don't fall for my bag of tricks,
The booty is hidden amongst the leaves and sticks.
If you understand my pitch, you might strike it rich,
But your palm won't be the only thing that's giving you an itch.

MedallionMilitia

CLUE #8

The great tales of yore, you need to explore,
To get you in position to score.
To claim the dough, you will need to know,
The founder of the five eyed flow.

MedallionMilitia

CLUE #9

Simple and plain, some downpours need help to drain.
If the body of water floods, it will destroy the terrain.
If your dazed and confused, you can help restore the balance,
Just connect a ring with the bird of fire's talon.

MedallionMilitia

CLUE #10

To wear the crown, you must put your racket down.
Forget the sports, retreat to land that's wooded.
If the park's still unknown, I'll throw you a bone,
Do like Kris Kringle, but don't get sooted.

MedallionMilitia

CLUE #11

Oh where, oh where could the treasure be?
Look for a place where your dog can run free.
Hiding it with the dogs would be rather heartless,
If your searching for treasure you should stay barkless.

A medallionless park should attract your appeal,
So should Poison Ivy, and the Man of Steele.
Using two streets to make a parks name may shed some light,
But if you can see the ark, I would say your right.

CLUE #12

You fell for my trap, looks like I'll have to draw you a map!
Arlington Arkwright Park is where you should be at.
Start at the south end of the soccer field,
Look to the woods, then the trail is revealed.

Hit the trail hard, climbing to the top is key,
The treasure lie's near, about 10 paces from the barkless tree.
Right next to the rotted log is the end of your venture,
Then you have found, Coldest's Lost Treasure!
