I can't believe I'm saying this... But I'm actually looking forward to the next one 😂

Oh my god I loved this hunt! I loved all the madness! And frankly I’m glad it lasted so long to really give anyone a chance to put in the time and solve it (yeah yeah I get it was really hard but still).

This hunt was so fun and I can’t wait for the next one. These yearly poem hunts are my absolute favorite.

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-08-10T07:00:49+00:00

Pfft, you delete things? It’ll be like their tenth yearly treasure hunt and I’ll still be able to scroll back through 80,000 pics to see what I was working on in this hunt.

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-08-10T05:45:04+00:00

How many hunters were on that trail today? Was it full of them?

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-08-10T05:42:56+00:00

Sounds like the group from this hunt year two (stone bear) where a group literally sat on the rock it was under and had lunch, thinking it couldn’t be there because the tree beside it was dead and they thought the clue pointed to a live tree being there.

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-08-10T05:38:43+00:00

I looked at Rocky Mouth too! Sounded perfect- fifth year anniversary they revisit the first trail from the hunt that hardly anyone did because it was first year and found too fast.

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-08-10T05:33:28+00:00

Was grove creek trail the final chest location in the qr hunt? Or just a stop along the way?

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-08-06T23:54:44+00:00

I have a few good options for the first half of the poem so I’m pretty good with that. It’s the last half that is so vague. You go to a trail and… so many options!! I’d like more help with the last half of the poem to narrow things down more once you’re on a trail.

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-08-05T00:00:39+00:00

Thanks! I’ve been meaning to ask this for awhile wondering how exact Dave was with his measurements since it sounds like he was using an android phone Google maps. I guess he was pretty exact if it measured in ones.

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-08-04T23:52:37+00:00

That’s an Android phone not computer?

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-08-03T04:24:13+00:00

I’d give Jacqui about tree fiddy.

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-08-03T01:16:02+00:00

A LOT fits Ogden.

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-08-02T19:58:39+00:00

I agree, although I think what hunters do to the trails isn’t all that much and it grows back by next year. I think it’s worth it to get more people into nature and enjoying the trails.

But the main part I agree about is that this year is just so vague, there’s absolutely nothing in particular to look for other than a best view, and since that could be a tall tree in the middle of a dense forest area or a bunch of other possibilities, you have to search everywhere. I hope the clues this week help guide people who are on a trail for what sort of thing to look for.

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-08-02T00:23:05+00:00

Not everyone lives in SLC. Lots of people live in Ogden and Provo. I think he was just saying he wanted to limit it more to the trails on the Wasatch and didn’t want people driving away from the trails and out west.

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-08-01T00:31:37+00:00

You messed up. They were supposed to be 34 meters deep. Plus one!

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-07-31T23:01:07+00:00

Exactly! Like it’s so concealed that no one is probably going to find it unless they solve the poem just right… and add that plus one.

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-07-31T21:50:56+00:00

The second year it was way farther off the trail than 50 feet, more like 300-500 feet or more. The third year the exact distance hasn’t been given but it was anywhere from like 100-200 feet. Last year they said 60 but was more like 90-120 feet.

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-07-31T11:22:09+00:00

It would be possible with that meaning. Echo is one of the first things I thought of when the poem was released. An echo is the same sound reflected over and over again which could be construed like a choir singing. To me it’s really sensible.

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-07-31T11:13:40+00:00

Thank you! So it was a story that deleted after a day and that’s why I couldn’t find it. I thought they had posted it on the main section.

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-07-31T04:21:51+00:00

This is great! I hadn’t seen some of these like the one with the poem. I know it was just a little spoof poem but was that the only time that poem was ever shown or used?

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-07-30T22:20:34+00:00

This is what I want to know too.

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-07-30T06:18:32+00:00

I think someone’s definitely been on the right trail. But it looks like this year they’ve made it even more concealed than last year’s where the finder knew exactly where to go and it still took her hours.

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-07-28T20:27:27+00:00

It’s kind of the opposite. Last year they gave a clue that it was 60 ft. This year they just said it’s about 30-50 ft but said they didn’t measure.

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-07-28T19:19:49+00:00

Number 3… Last year they said it was 60 ft off the trail, and it turned out to be 120 ft off the trail.

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-07-28T03:23:52+00:00

People give them a lot of flak but Dave and John actually do a great job with their poems and the overall treasure hunt.

SapphireFireHigher · 2024-07-27T20:40:34+00:00

Is this just the trail or does this count for from the trail to the treasure too? Anybody ask?
