Clue #2
Published on Monday, January 11, 2010
Put on your best boots “oh don’t cha know”,
tennis shoe sports all covered in snow.
Skates much more useful this time of year,
and if it’s needed a warming house near.

Sheldon boot tracks all over the place,
oh really so many, he walked at this pace.
Round trees, fields and hills on Mr. Smith’s hike,
follow the paths and poke with a pike.
Explanation:
This clue gives some landmarks that can be found at Staring. There is wordplay involving Round Lake and Riley park, but they were tricks. The word round was intended to be an allusion to the ice rink.

Clue #5
Published on Thursday, January 14, 2010
Sheldon strolled onward for wrenches sake
when he came to cross a beautiful lake.?
From cold blowing wind he lowered his head,
he did not know but it was beet red.?

He show like an arrow, now on the fly,
aiming like you are at the “bulls eye”.?
You see, to some it’s just an old tool,
but not to the finder who’s nobody’s fool.
Explanation:
While many thought that the bulls eye reference meant to go to the archery area at Staring Lake, it meant to suggest the bulls eye pattern of Staring ice skating loop. Also, this park has a lake.

Clue #6
Published on Friday, January 15, 2010
If you're hunting with a friend or looking with a pal,
remember dear old Jonas on the Erie Canal.
The nearby was lake was Caroline in 1854,
now it holds the Captain’s name for all your treasure lore.

To find the magic wrench, to center court come forth,
to the free throw line the farthest to the North.
Shoot the ball in Sheldon’s boots with a perfect touch,
you’re close now to the prize which you love so much.
Explanation:
Jonas Staring was a captain on the Erie Canal before he settled in Eden Prairie. He originally named the lake after his wife Caroline. With this information, you could be sure that Staring was the right park.

If you stood on the basketball court’s free throw line, took a shot and missed just to the right. Your ball would likely have rolled right to where the wrench was laying. It was about a foot or two from the base of a tree in the center of the ice skating loop.
