Hunt for the Gold Puck

 
Hunt for the Gold $1K Puck

The first puck has been found, but the hunt isn't over.

We'd like to congratulate Steve and Jeannie Worthman for finding the first Hiway Gold Puck so amazingly quickly. The married couple found the puck, hidden in a free-trade coffee bag in Carver Lake Park, after just one clue posted on Friday, February 24. You can find out more in the press release.

Because we'd like to keep the fun going, we are hiding another puck to continue the hunt. Hidden somewhere on public land in Ramsey, Hennepin or Dakota County is a second gold colored hockey puck. New clues about its location will be announced every Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. from March 3 – March 31, 2017.

FIND THE SECOND PUCK AND WIN

$1,000

If you are the lucky person to find it, you will see a code and a phone number for you to call on the puck.

Clues
Clue #1
Published on Friday, March 3, 2017
Slapshot fast puck one was found
So back we are for a second round
Have faith to venture into forest n’ field
A mission in search of golden yield
Explanation:
“Have faith,” “mission” and “search” refer to St. Anthony, a Catholic priest, friar and missionary known as the patron saint of missing and lost things. St. Anthony is a community partly located in Ramsey County. The largest park in St. Anthony is located on the Ramsey County side, which is where the puck is hidden.

Clue #2
Published on Friday, March 10, 2017
Legions encamped upon its lot
Weapons of war they had not
There young comrades found safe quarters
A retreat from life’s shells and mortars
Explanation:
“Legions encamped upon its lot, Weapons of war they had not” indicates the “army” that stayed there did not carry guns or weapons. Salvation Army camps provide children, some of whom come from challenging family situations and living conditions, with a safe place to play and learn, hence the clue “There young comrades found safe quarters, a retreat from life’s shells and mortars.” The puck is hidden in Silverwood Park, a one-time Salvation Army camp, located in St. Anthony.

Reality brings some fortune and fame
They gave their offspring an unusual name
Point your journey in the right direction
Then add a check to your collection.
Explanation:
“Reality brings some fortune and fame, They gave their offspring an unusual name” is a reference to reality TV star Kim Kardashian and her husband Kanye West. The couple named their daughter North. “Point your journey in the right direction” suggests that the puck is hidden on the north side of the park.

Clue #4
Published on Friday, March 24, 2017
Harmony and chaos in nature abound
Forage for gold that waits to be found
The hunt you’re on need now take shape
To unearth the puck you’ll need to scrape
Explanation:
Silverwood features nature-inspired art throughout the park. The puck is located near a sculpture entitled “Ylem,” which the artist describes it as a depiction of the “harmony and chaos that exists in nature.” The sculpture is made of geometrical shapes, hence the reference to “shape.” “Forage” and “scrape” hint at the puck’s location amongst the leaves, twigs and branches found in the woods.
