Clues
Clue #1
Published on Friday, February 24, 2017
Tell no lie and you will honor
One who tossed a silver dollar
Forge ahead to seek your fate
A puck of gold somewhere awaits
Explanation:
Legend tells us that George Washington said “I cannot tell a lie.” Another legend is that Washington tossed a silver dollar across the Potomac River. “Forge” is reference to Valley Forge, the winter encampment of Washington’s troops during the Revolutionary War. The clues indicate the puck is located in Washington County.

Clue #2
More than peanuts are at stake
Find the puck to leave a wake
Of those who walked to and fro
Yet couldn’t find the bounty low
Explanation:
“Peanuts” is a reference to George Washington Carver, a prominent African‐American scientist and inventor best known for the many uses he devised for the peanut. “Wake” is a reference to water. “Bounty low” provides a clue that the puck is hidden low to the ground. The hiding place is in Carver Lake Park in Woodbury.

Clue #3
Slip, slide and swing on by
Shrieks of joy from small fry
Your path is hard yet leads the way
Find the puck and gold we’ll pay
Explanation:
“Slip, slide and swing on by” and “shrieks of joy from small fry” refer to a playground enroute to the puck. “Your path is hard” is a clue to take the asphalt trail that travels past the playground.

Clue #4
Have seat and sit a spell
Just ahead the puck does dwell
Near the place where waters flow
Your Hiway account is set to grow
Explanation:
A bench is located along the path. Those who sit on the bench will look in the general direction of the puck, which is located near a stream that runs through the park.

Clue #5
No cherries did it ever bear
Yet scars from blade it does wear
Fallen from its former peak
It hides the treasure that you seek
Explanation:
“No cherries did it ever bear” refers to a tree, specifically a cherry tree, which connects back to the first line in Clue 1. George Washington, according to legend, could not lie after chopping down his father’s cherry tree. Although not a cherry, the tree bears marks from an axe blade. The puck is hidden in the base of the tree, wrapped in a free‐trade coffee bag.
