Clues
Clue #1
Published on Monday, July 31, 2023
Bienvenido, willkommen, welcome, salut,
Time to brush off sunglasses and don your sunsuit.
Certainly no one this year by a bee will be stung,
There's no need at all for such surprise to be sprung.
Is it littoral, you ask, as it was once before?
An idea such as this you can surely ignore.
The wise seekers are steered by the stub they will take,
A wee little amble is all you need make.
Explanation:
The definition of littoral is “relating to or situated on the shore of the sea or a lake”. This line is telling hunters the medallion is not on a shore
There is a short walking path (“a wee little amble”) which connects The Provinces apartments parking lot to the location of the basketball net.

Clue #2
Published on Tuesday, August 1, 2023
Sip our Bloody Marys, High Noons or a Bud,
Concealing the riches, a repetitive thud.
If judicial it were, judges would have half a rule,
Let division like that now serve as a tool.
Grounds for diversion upon which you might travel,
Could possibly make that gavel man ravel.
Notice the doubles hooked to two singles each one,
Just less than a dozen puts you near 'nuf to run.
Explanation:
“A repetitive thud” refers to the sound of a basketball being bounced.
Refers to the partial court the basketball net is mounted on. If this court were a 'court' of law, the judge would have only half a court.
“Grounds for diversion” refers to the Rondeau Park playground. “Upon which you might travel” refers to the basketball term 'travel.' Figuring this out could possibly help hunters unravel the gavel man (judge) clue (ravel means the same an unravel).
The Park View Court Townhomes are next to Rondeau Park. Each townhome has a double garage door alongside two single garage doors.There are eleven of these townhomes, “just less than a dozen.” They are close enough to the medallion that you could run to it.

Clue #3
A wristband will get you all the rides you can mount,
Stout rump-resters to behold, seven to count.
A Foerster, one Karl, might be taken for grist,
If I'm not mistaken, you'll find in the midst.
A means of conveyance fixed in the sign,
Obvious to those who climb on the line.
The Ammsterdammers stove is almost the same,
Not all that deep but it carries their name.
Explanation:
There are seven sturdy (stout) park benches (“rump-resters”) in Rondeau Park.
Karl Foerster is a type of reed grass that looks like wheat, which is ground to make flour (grist). Karl Forester grows prominently in the midst of Rondeau Park.
Rondeau Park is on Jackson Street. The Metro Transit Bus Line, which is a means of conveyance, has a sign there at Jackson Street. This sign is obvious to those who board (“climb on”) the bus (“line”). “Climb on the line” also refers to the rope lines that are in the Rondeau Park playground.
The Amsterdammers are people from Amsterdam, also known as the Dutch. A stove is “almost the same” as an oven. A Dutch oven is a large cooking pot. There is a cooking pot that is like a Dutch oven only it's shallower (“not all that deep”). This pot is called a rondeau.

Clue #4
No longer the hamlet our forefathers once knew,
Yet an Adams, an Andrew or sawbuck times two.
Fiery capsicum nuptials, a strain you might rack,
At least 'til you consider that chap all in black.
That state of magnolias has quite a big one to tout,
Debate it they did ever since their flame went out.
Beside that fluvial old cooker's a clue,
Amusement is there, sliding into your view.
Explanation:
Rondeau Park is on Jackson Street at the intersection of Bryan Street. The famous names Bryan Adams and Andrew Jackson refer to the two streets. A sawbuck is a ten dollar bill. A “sawbuck times two” is a twenty dollar bill, which displays an image of Andrew Jackson.
“Fiery capsicum” is a hot pepper, “nuptials” is a wedding. These refer to the lyrics “We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout” in the Johnny Cash song “Jackson.” You might have to “rack “your brain about this line until you consider “that chap all in black”, which refers to Johnny Cash's famous nickname, the Man in Black.
Mississippi is known as the Magnolia State, the capital of which is Jackson. Jackson is a big city that Mississippi touts. The lyrics of the song “Jackson” say that they debated going to Jackson “ever since the flame went out.”
Little Canada Road is also named Old Kettle River Road, indicated on the street signs at Little Canada Road and Jackson Street. “Fluvial” means relating to a river. “Old cooker” refers to an old kettle. “Fluvial old cooker” refers to Old Kettle River Road.
The playground in Rondeau Park is “amusement.” “Sliding into your view refers to the playground “sliding into your view” as you drive on Jackson Street. It also refers to the slide on the playground.

Clue #5
If a bloke or an Aussie you'd find in a flat,
Deductive reasoning leads you near where it's at.
Could be a province, city, town or a state.
And then you'll use a little bit of your gait.
Populus genus like quintuplets times two,
Bitumen peninsula will be under your shoe.
Units Imperial reaching up to the sky,
Ten times ten in your shoes tells you about how high.
Explanation:
A Bloke is a British man and an Aussie is an Australian. They both refer to their apartments as “flats.” We can therefore deduce that apartments are nearby.
The Provinces apartments are nearby. “You'll use a little bit of your gait” again refers to the short walking path which connects The Provinces parking lot to the location of the basketball net.
Cottonwood trees belong to the “Populus genus.” The are two clusters of five cottonwood trees in Rondeau Park (“quintuplets times two”). One cluster is a group of five trees and the other is a group of five trees that looks like six trees because one trunk is divided making it look like two trees. They are “like” but not quite quintuplet clusters because one cluster looks like six trees.
One of the quintuplet clusters (the one nearer Jackson Street) is in an area that is surrounded by asphalt (“under your shoe”) on three sides, like a peninsula.
“Imperial units” are the system of measure that we use in the United States (inches, feet, etc., as opposed to the metric system). The cottonwood trees reach up to the sky. They grow about 100 feet tall. If you use the Imperial units of feet (which you also have in your shoes), and multiply it tens times ten, it will tell you about how high the cottonwood trees are.

Clue #6
Whatever could it be about In Flanders Field?
Unraveling it could mean your success is sealed.
Double header fluidly amounts to a bubbler,
This outmoded fount should not be a troubler.
A slobber of sorts with but one bucket to fill,
And an easier way of adjusting your drill.
Although mutable apex this locus does boast,
Mere fractional groundwork will encompass this post.
Explanation:
Googling “what is In Flanders Field?” will reveal that "In Flanders Fields" is a war poem in the form of a rondeau (a fixed form of verse based on two rhyme sounds and consisting usually of 13 lines in three stanzas with the opening words of the first line of the first stanza used as an independent refrain after the second and third stanzas). In Flanders Field is a “rondeau”.
In Rondeau Park there is double drinking fountain, aka “bubbler.” The word “fount” is an outdated form of the word “fountain.”
Dribble is a basketball term. A dribble is also “a slobber of sorts.” There is only one basketball net there rather than the standard two nets, so there's “only one bucket to fill.”
The post of the basketball net is adjustable, making it easier to adjust the height for working on your basketball drills.
“Mutable apex” refers to the adjustable height of the basketball net.
“Locus” means a position, point, or place. This place boasts an adjustable height of the net.
“Fractional groundwork” means that there is only a part of a court that encompasses this basketball net post.
