Clue No 1
Nevada is full of mystery
But none so obscure as this.
To find where the treasure is buried
Read history to lift the mist. | Clue No 2
Four out of seven
Isn’t bad
Keep searching those
They’re treasure-clad. |
Clue No 3
It was ‘64 when
The fight was lost
Majority ruled
This name was lost. | Clue No 4
Way out in the land of the setting sun
Ol’ Bertha does explain
There’s a lovely spot - just the only one
And can be found in the refrain. |
Clue No 5
Fire nearly killed the town
Not once but twice, it seems
But it survived and some call it
A place live big dreams | Clue No 6
West from Ely
As the crow flies
Slide down the mountain
Searching for the prize |
Clue No 7
What was coming 'round the bend
with its rumble and its roar?
The power has been harnessed
Twain can't hear it any more | Clue No 8
A century old anchor
Marks the summit of the range
Where Whites Creek meanders
And paths interchange. |
Clue No 9
Would Huck or Tom
Give up the quest
Just because
They need a rest? | Clue No 10
Rising up
Above the people
It stands witness
As if a steeple. |
Clue No 11
If you think you’re the “cat’s whiskers”
You’ve got rocks in your head
Crystal clear is the answers
So get up and get out you lay-a-bed! | Clue No 12
Where the children meet
Can be oh so many, many places
A park, a playground, or at school
Wherever there are lots of happy faces |
Clue No 13
The arrows point
In each direction
But you must choose;
It is natural selection. | Clue No 14
Less than sagebrush
More than decomposition
Figure this out
And you’re close to its position. |
The treasure has been found!
