There’s no need to dig, no tools required
Don’t search private property or you’ll be fired!

We’ll give you a sign, take pity.
Choose the words you seek wisely, use care,

Clue #3
Published on Thursday, August 16, 2012
I can not tell a lie
Soon you’ll see the truth
A piece of vital art
Will make you a sleuth.

The park is a place for kids to play,
You can fish along Wahkon Bay,
Sun tan on a beach all day
Three are near the treasure I’d say.
Explanation:
“lie” and “soon” anagram to Soo Line, “vital art” anagrams to atv trail as well as referring to the sign being more of a piece of art, and vital to our clues.

Three words featured on the sign are “park” “fish” and “beach”

Another place sells bait, groceries

Clue #6
Published on Saturday, August 18, 2012
TV off! Shoes on! Get up, get outside
At the treasures location a good eye should see
Peek left, peek right, see across and to one side
You’ll find you’re where you need to be!
Explanation:
ATV can be spelled with the first 2 letters of the first 2 lines, both ways. “peek left” “peek right” refer to the “keep left” “keep right” signs along the trail and “across” loosely refers to the church and more specifically to a cross made of trees back off the other side of the trail that can be seen from the sign.

Clue #7
Published on Saturday, August 18, 2012
No clue where to go? Need more?
Leave it to… Alvin, Simon or Theodore
A tv show could open the door
But stick to your guns & check every crack to score
Explanation:
The tv show “Leave it to Beaver” (Theodore being the Beavers first name) refers to the beaver on the sign, and again “A tv” = ATV. “Stick to your guns” refers to the stick shaped almost like a gun that the lure is hidden in, check the stick carefully to find the crack the lure is tucked into.
