Clue #1    (available Thursday-Feb. 2)
WinterFest is upon us, where is our snow?
Our activities have changed, and the cold brings us a glow.
North or South of Crosslake, towards the sunset we face,
The treasure is waiting, now on for the race.

Clue #2 (available Friday, February 3)
Your Drive will have lakes on the East and West.
Find a good spot to park and rest.
The residents have all flown South, isn't that just ducky?
If you find the treasure then you will be quite lucky!

CONGRATULATIONS JOE CHASE and HOLLY SIEMERS! 
The lucky couple found the medallion at the base of a clump of trees just off the snowmobile trail near the Duck Lake Access.

Clue #3 - this clue was never released or seen by anyone, but here it is for those of you that were SO CLOSE!
Get out of your car or be on your machine,
To the posts down the trail which will be seen.
With trees all around, you will have to look down,
The medallion can be found, at the fork near the ground.
