Clues
Clue #1
Published on Saturday, February 16, 2019
Shoot an arrow, straight and narrow—for happiness take aim:
Namesake needles mark the spot; between bystreets, stake claim.
Our treasure cove is in the grove, near first responders’ quarters;
We planted flowers in the snow by frozen, sparkling waters.
Explanation:

  • "Shoot an arrow" and "take aim" are meant to suggest searching in a park with an archery range—Pine Tree Pond Park is one of only a handful in Washington County.

  • "straight and narrow" is meant to suggest the narrow valley that comprises Pine Tree Pond Park, and the (generally) straight path that connects its northern and southern sections.

  • "Namesake needles mark the spot" and "stake claim" are meant to suggest digging in the snow beneath the pine needles that marked each token’s hiding place.

  • "between bystreets" is meant to suggest searching a park in a residential area, off of main roads and between neighborhood streets.

  • "Our treasure cove is in the grove" is meant to suggest a park in Cottage Grove.

  • "first responders’ quarters" is meant to suggest the Cottage Grove Fire Department, situated at the northwest corner of Pine Tree Pond Park.

  • "We planted flowers in the snow" is meant to suggest a fake hibiscus flower buried with each token. When taken with the first letter of each line—S-N-O-W—it could be taken to suggest a final clue, hidden vertically within them:

  • The words "happiness," "bystreets," "responders," and "sparkling" contain within them the words "pine," "tree," "pond," and "park"—naming the tokens' hiding place, and positioned to align vertically when the clue is centered, as on the TC Treasure homepage.
