Treasure Hunt committee member Margaret Craig points to the location of the rabbit hanging on a chain link fence south of Edward C. Solomon Park.
2010 Treasure Hunt Clues and Comments:
1. Posts and poles, they're all around.
Between two of them the rabbit'll be found.
Some brace fences and some hold signs,
Some rise high to carry the lines.
We'll lead you to it, you know we will,
And finding this rabbit will give you a thrill. |
Self explanatory. |
2. To describe the area: some yellow is there,
A type of warning, so you need to beware.
If you see this color, you're on the right track.
Keep your eyes sharp to stay ahead of the pack. |
Yellow warning sign, in this case one with a left arrow warning of a curve ahead. |
3. A ways from the yellow, look for a T.
It's easy to notice, since it's big, you see. |
The big T is the T intersection of 60th and Bloomington Ave, west of the rabbit's location. |
4. Not far from the T, a sign you'll see.
It's meant for your car and where it can be.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no,
But violate this sign and you could pay some dough. |
Below the yellow warning sign is a snow emergency sign. |
5. From the T there's a street that definitely curves,
Going too fast would rattle your nerves.
Before you get there we'll tell you now,
You just passed the rabbit, holy cow! |
The rabbit was between the T intersection and the curve. |
6. To narrow it down for a better a chance,
There's something you can see with just a glance.
We bet you'll notice a fence in a wink.
Yes, it is made of sturdy chain link. |
While in the area, including the T intersection, look for the fence. |
7. Are you at the right "T"? We sincerely hope so.
It's avenue sign has an "n", "t" and also an "o".
Without hesitation to the fence you must go,
Follow along but take it slow.
The rabbit is there but not real low,
and when you find it you will be aglow! |
The T intersection is 60th and Bloomington Ave, with Bloominton having the "n", "t" and "o". |
8. By "between" in clue one we mean exact,
Equidistant, 23 paces as a matter of fact.
But where is that T? You want to know.
HPDL's most southerly park, we're telling you so. |
This clue tells where to look. The rabbit was exactly between the pole holding the yellow warning sign and another pole. It led to the winner. |
9. Along the south edge, a sign and a pole,
And if you're facing east, you're on a roll.
Come back a ways, we told you how much,
The hunt will end with your final touch! |
Even more precise, in case someone did not find it with clue 8. |
We hope everyone enjoyed participating in the 2010 treasure hunt. Please join us again next year.
