We must stay clean, to combat Covid 19
Sanitize and wash your hands much often.

With no delay, the 20th of May -
Will not derail - our hunts staying on track.

Or will Josh and his gang go back to back?

FINAL ENCOURAGEMENT

Avast ye! All hands hoay!
It’s time to gather your men for battle.
Ready the Cannons and give no quarter, there’s a new king in the saddle.
You will have to climb Jacobs ladder no stunts,
No hornswaggling in this hunt!
Heave ho it’s time to go,
Who will challenge the sea dog Josh and his band of mangy pirates?
Or will you just give the treasure to the tyrants?
It’s time to settle the score, board your Man-O-War,
Be heavily armed and set sail.
Because in Coldest’s Lost Treasure, dead men tell no tales!

CLUE #1

We welcome all, to our main treasure hunt ball.
Go hit the parks and enjoy the spring sun.
Within coexistence, please keep your distance.
Follow all guidelines and respect everyone.

As Covid raids, and 2020 fades,
We all strive for fun and distraction.
Try not to panic, in this world of magic.
Connect with a supernatural attraction.

A bird full of rage, and a spike uncaged,
Will guide you along more than a few steps.
Whether small tyke, or old like Mike,
This would be a hotspot to place your bets.

MedallionMilitia

CLUE #2

We all need protection, to avoid infection.
The treasure is social distancing, you should too.
Solve our mystery, with a little wizardry,
Merlin and his forest leaves behind clues

MedallionMilitia

CLUE #3

You’re in for a treat, if you can find your beat.
Your journey will be so sweet and perfect.
If you inhale one mana, you’ll go bananas!
Just jive on down it will all be worth it

MedallionMilitia

CLUE #4

If it’s treasure you’re trackin, then stop the slackin.
It’s sitting pretty just as you like it.
Lots of trees and hills, should conjure your thrills.
But you should only stand for the right fit.

MedallionMilitia

CLUE #5

Our great northern waters, will get you hotter,
If you time warp back to the days of yore.
Do not back down, earn your Corona Crown,
Within a park south of 694.

MedallionMilitia

CLUE #6

While online scoutin, link a few nearby mountains,
To be inclined to feel a bit cocky.
Go dive straight in, for a Splinter Lake win,
Perhaps your journey won’t be so rocky.

ALTERNATE PATH – CLUE #1

A little bit of thought, is better than not.
But it will still take much skill to find it.
Aye aye captain, the crowd be clappin,
Jump ahead so you won’t have to grind it.

In quarantine it waits, for you to place.
The year it was found will give your sprint a burst.
It wasn’t built in one day, but bricks they lay.
Be sure to be the one who gets here first.

CRITICAL CLUE

Regain your bearings, and dispel the herring,
Keep your search within the city of St Paul.
Here the Druids dwell, and conjure their spells,
The power of the oak beckons and calls.

In your craziest dream, a single sunbeam,
And a maid of rubber are primed for inspection.
You found our oak forest, time to floor it.
This amulet guides and offers protection.

CLUE #7

When in the kitchen, it helps to pitch in,
When serving up some sticky black bats stew.
Not to your delight? What a wasteful sight!
A delicacy only for a few.

MedallionMilitia

CLUE #8

A site for sports, but they had to abort
Other decisions and plans were made.
Its hard to tell, if you’re under my spell
Maybe some training will help you get paid.

MedallionMilitia

CLUE #9

Can you wonder of a land, that be so grand?
With mystical hills and treasure to unearth.
The druid’s magical oak, could bring hope,
If you fail you’ll still get your penny’s worth.

MedallionMilitia

CLUE #10

Still spellbound by herring? Please no swearing!
Confine your search to the city of St. Paul.
Sitting on the ground, the prize is safe and sound,
Where the hills roll and where the oak grows tall.

Beneath your prized grail, lies the Bridal Veil.
Nature holds secrets and treasure to boast.
Site of an old rec, will aid your treasure trek.
Finding 18 tires will get you pretty close.

CLUE #11

Feeling shifty? Then let’s end this swiftly.
Shake it off, you’re not out of the woods just yet.
Go set your mark, in one of the oldest parks.
On Merlin’s hill, near his tree, you’ll be set.

Follow the theme, of your wildest dreams.
Ready for it? End game is in sight.
In this section, look for protection.
Mobilize camp, just don’t stay overnight.

Treasure is callin, where Yggdrasil has fallen,
From it’s branches the treasure was flung.
Over the leafy site, shines 3 rays of light.
But these riches are only for the young.

CLUE #12

Looking for me Jewels? Then head for Newell!
Welcome to the land of Midway Heights.
Current events, have us all perplexed,
So we changed the clue time due to frights.

Start your treasure trot, from the parking lot.
Warp on over to the basketball court.
Find two green tables, near a stump if able.
Head east up the trail don't come up short.

Stop at the fallen limb, and start your grin,
Head to the left up the leafy incline.
Look to the leaves, near a protective sleeve.
Find Mr. Rough and Ready and get in line.

MedallionMilitia

ALTERNATE PATH – CLUE #2

Under your noses, the city of roses,
Is where the Critical Clue has been hiding.
Focus on a race, to find the secret place.
Near a skilled man with a horse for riding.

Look for May flowers, to feel empowered.
This time the prize is hidden off the ground.
Come take a trip, on Mr Jone's ship.
Now tell me, do we have a new Triple Crown?
