Clues
Clue #1
Published on Friday, May 28, 2010
The shoe is out there for someone to find,
But the road to get there is somewhat blind.
You can search high or you can search low,
The question is, which way to go?
Explanation:
This clue would suggest looking for public property ( Park) that is not really well identified if you are driving around. There is no little brown “City Park” sign along Boone to show the way.

Clue #2
Published on Friday, June 4, 2010
An interesting threesome fits the search
Choose the correct one or be left in the lurch.
Powering up may help you get near, I suppose
A seeming contradiction may give you its repose.
Explanation:
The threesome refers to the 3 parks within close proximity along the top of Boone Avenue. Powering up relates to the nearby power lines . In my mind , when you approach Hamilton Hills Park and then look down to see it , it is almost entirely in a vast hollow –not on a hill at all.

Clue #3
Published on Friday, June 11, 2010
Names are funny – they seem to stick around.
Put some together for the path to be bound.
Founders, settlers, heroes—don’t think too small,
For fear that your thoughts might run into a wall.
Explanation:
The first three lines attempt to get you thinking of street , and park names such as : Boone , McColl , Egan , Connelly , Hamilton , Windsor etc.—not all local connections. Putting some together properly could lead you there. As you now are aware of , the key word on the location was wall – the shoe was in a slit in a retaining wall.

Clue #4
Published on Friday, June 18, 2010
I slipped it in like it was made to fit.
The color even matched the narrow slit.
Thinking royally might be a boon.
A watch could point you there soon.
Explanation:
The final clue tells you it is hidden in a narrow slit that is not too wide or long , in something gray-silver The word boon of course is a play on Boone Avenue and point on Summit Pointe. Thinking royally might cause you to notice the intersection of Boone and Windsor Av. What does the word watch have to do with it? Well , Hamilton Railroad pocket watches were probably the gold standard for railroaders. I have my Dad’s Hamilton Railway Special on my dresser.

...some additional Comments

This was the 15’th year of the horseshoe hunt - hardly seems possible! Some participants have complained about not knowing when the shoe was found and kept hunting . All I can say is that we really have no control over that issue. If someone finds it and chooses to not turn it in until a later time, that is their choice. Just research the history, be outdoors, enjoy the hunt and have fun.
