Old Blue Treasure Hunt
05/23/2002 03:31 a.m.
There's gold, I'm told
On Watkins Hill
But to find it now
Will take some skill.

212 degrees
To Highway 30,
But do be cautious,
Don't get dirty.

In "Case" you cannot
Find the "yellow,"
A white door's standing
Near the fellow.

From "yellow" to "silver
Round and bumpy,"
86 steps, yes,
Around it's junky.

From "silver" 116
Over to "red"
Stay away from
that messed-up bed.

94 north and west
To "Old Blue"
O'er the boneyard
Then you're through.

Eat and drink
When you are done,
That too is
A lot of fun.

Note: We did compass work with map and compass indoors to teach the skill and to find the place on Watkins Hill where they had to look further. The descriptive clues there matched the area well enough that they found the "gold" (pop and candy) in about 15 minutes and with a minimum of assistance. "A good time was had by all."
