The First Treasure Hunt Clues
The Clueasaurus Treasure
This is a fun treasure hunt that doesn't require a backpack
full of food and water. With a bit of smarts and some luck, you
might find wrap this one up with less than an hour out of your
car. You'll have a nice view as well. (This is one of the Fremont
County Challenges.) Enjoy!
Note: Take a photo of yourself at the "hole in the wall"
to prove you were there if you are going to participate in the
other hunts. Remember, you have to complete three treasure hunts
and submit the appropriate photo from each (see the contact page
for the email address) in order to win one of the books from
the "Treasure Chest."
The Treasure Hunt Clues
A drive above the town with the missing y
On a one-way road into the sky
Will take you to the ancient track
Of animals that will not come back
Pass them by and park the car
Get ready for a walk, but not too far
On the side of the ridge facing the town
You'll find a trail that will take you down
 When
you come to the hole in the wall
Climb carefully so you do not fall
Twenty feet up are parallel lines
A horizontal one topping the design
Count the vertical marks and spell the number
For this is the first clue to remember
Continue down the trail at a careful pace
Watching the wall that holds it in place
Soon you will find four letters alone
A line drawn under them, carved in stone
To the first clue add these four
And return the car to find one more
Drive past the high point, but not too far
To the place where it's easy to park the car
Walk to the eastern edge and look down
From here you'll have a view of the town
Look for the building that is bent
It will be the last place you are sent
Find the name of the street it faces
The first two letters fill the last two places
Claiming Your Treasure
Put the three clues together in lower case letters and insert
in place of the question marks to get the URL address of the
next treasure hunt page:

Special treasure and bonus: Within 50 feet of where the letters
are carved there is a small plastic liquor bottle with a dollar
bill inside it. It is somewhere in the rock wall. Keep the dollar
if you find it, and insert the serial number (letters lower-case)
in place of the question marks below to get the URL address where
a special gift awaits you:

Note: Though the standard clues are not likely to be
tampered with, and so you can always complete this treasure hunt
and eventually (with two more) win a prize, the bonus treasure
(the dollar and bonus) may be taken by the first to find it,
and so may not be available. I will make a note here if I know
it has been found.
Geocaches: There is a nice Geocache near the search
area (you'll walk within a third of a mile of it). It is called
the Skyline Ledge Geocache, and it has been there for over six
years. Here are the GPS coordinates:
N 38° 27.893 / W 105° 15.153
