Found in Hidden Falls Park by Audrey Seidl and her brother-in-law, Larry Graber. Hunt background and clue explanations will follow when possible.
Clue 1
Hidden in Boreas' Rollicking Realm,
Lies his treasure chest.
A road's nearby and if you're sly,
These clues will solve your quest.
Clue 2
Boreas' treasure's in Ramsey County.
Will you be the one to find his bounty?
And if you really want it all,
Confine your search just to St. Paul.
Clue 3
Safety first has been our rule
Ever since we went to school;
Don't risk your neck in dangerous pursuit,
For even a child could find this loot.
Clue 4
Don't trespass on your neighbors lawn,
It's not private property the treasure's on.
But you can see a river or a lake,
And that, my friends, is the route to take.
Clue 5
Less than fifty yards from the nearest road,
Will lead you to the treasure load.
Add up these clues, day by day,
For a thousand dollars you may take away.
Clue 6
Boreas' loot is hid near trees.
To guard it 'gainst Vulcan's thieves;
Underbrush lies here and there,
We hope you find the treasure's lair.
Clue 7
From the treasure's site you can see,
The father of Watersthe Mississippi.
Join in the spirit of Carnival fun,
Seek your fortune that's under the sun.
Clue 8
From the spot, there's in your view,
An elongated object for a clue;
And if it's clear, there can be seen,
What one could call a structure of green.
Clue 9
The spirit of Florence, not too far away,
Was born in conflict, another day;
And if you need another clue,
Part of a tower's in your view.
Clue 10
At least three miles and perhaps more for measure,
From the Pioneer Press lies the Carnival treasure.
And if you really want a clue,
The river's between a smokestack and you.
Clue 11
Though signs say "No Dumping" without a fine,
Tin cans lie nearby to reflect the sunshine.
And if you manage to find this spot,
Take care, my friend, you're really hot.
Clue 12
In the base of a tree, among the root,
Is where we've hid King Boreas' loot.
The opening is covered with dirt and moss;
Throw it away with a mighty toss.
Clue 13
And here is the final clue,
Telling you exactly what to do;
Go south on Mississippi Boulevard, beyond Ford's plant,
Turn right down a road that has a slant;
Again to the right at the first ingress,
Then follow the road to the treasure chest.
We've had fun, we must confess,
Good hunting from the Dispatch-Pioneer Press.
