BoreasRex

Clue #1

To cure Vikings depression try a new obsession
By taking part in our hunt through the snow
But if you hope it's a profitable profession
To a park in St. Paul you must go

Don't be a rapscallion and seek the medallion
In places of the improper sort
You're certain to cause a rebellion
If you go where golfers cavort.

Set your own pace and it could make you an ace
If your grasp of these clues is astute
So get yourself out and into the chase
And you just might win all the loot

BoreasRex

Clue #3

A tower or two should come into view
As you're making your careful inspection
But this hint will only be of help to you
If you look in King Boreas's direction

BoreasRex

Clue #4

Some places to gain relief from the rain
Will serve to help you as you're looking
Read this well and you just might obtain
A clue that will really get you cooking

Opposites attract and that's a fact
Even if your mood's cloudy and foul
This simple truth might help you extract
The prize being sought by all

BoreasRex

Clue #6

A well-trained eye is one reason why
A good hunter stays on the attack
This is a lesson you need to apply
If you want to be on the right track

BoreasRex

Clue #7

A pleasant scene and a turning machine
Might help you court our treasure
It's there somewhere in between
If you can make the right measure

BoreasRex

Clue #8

Find where kids play and you won't go astray
Especially if you spot arches nearby
This should make it easier to locate your way
Amid obstacles that otherwise mystify

BoreasRex

Clue #9

There's a place in our park for a leisurely arc
Find it and you'll be in the treasure's vicinity
Look also for colors that catch the eye
And remember you're not far from divinity

BoreasRex

Clue #10

A president or two will be of help to you
If you're becoming a bit downcast
But to fully appreciate this wonderful clue
Know that one is first instead of last

BoreasRex

Clue #11

For treasure lore and much, much more
Here's advice you'll never regret
To get near the place you're looking for
It would be wise to go with a vet

BoreasRex

Clue #12

It would really be cruel if you missed our jewel
Which lies in a pack of cards known as Ace
So get yourself out to the park named Newell
And go south of the pavilion to find the place

Look for a thing where two lovers can swing
We assure you it's our best search enhancer
Just go west 35 paces and you could be king
This, Regis, is our final answer
