Hints:
1) 💘 A Halifax park, once an estate for royalty.
Now hides its secrets with quiet loyalty.
Past a lovers’ pond and winding trails,
Where whispers linger, and footsteps pale.
2) 🌲 Where Hemlocks whisper.
In a park where trees stand tall and proud,
In a park where trees stand tall and proud,
A treasure waits where a stream grows loud.
Then quiet again, as the trail dips low,
Where moss and shadow softly grow.
Seek the hollow where the branches entwine,
Far from the pond shaped like a Valentine.
The prize is tucked where the hush runs deep,
Guarded by a Hemlock, in nature’s keep.
3)💧 Where water runs & squirrels dash,
Seek not the stream, but where trees clashed.
An unmarked trail & hilly bend,
The gift you seek is near the end.
Look low, not high, where leaves fall,
The treasure waits amidst their sprawl.
4) 🪦 Where whispers wind through wooded halls,
Follow the Trail where the water calls.
When the ravine greets your stride,
Turn left where fallen giants hide.
A tree once mighty, now resting low,
By its branches, your prize will show.
5) ⬅️ Where roots run deep, and shadows play,
The Ravine Trail winds its secret way.
At trail’s end, don’t just look ahead.
At the trail marker, go left instead.
What lies within the hemlock’s gaze?
A hidden prize to end your maze.
6) In the ravine’s deep divide,
across from its stream is where I reside.
Left of the marker, your search must cease, to find the treasure and win your peace.
Look not to the hills, but close to the ground, where a giant has fallen without a sound.
