THE WINNERS

If you followed all your clues, you ended up here at Butler Lake and Flynn Springs.  Located inside Kettle Moraine.

This is the stairs Jack and Monster find at Butler Lake.  There were two sets of stairs and you have to pick the right one!

This is the firepit in the woods. It is a big factor in why I chose the last hiding place.  This was pre-fall, but I have checked and it is still visible!

This is the heart knot and the last step that was laid out nicely in the map.  From here you had to figure out the number of steps and last direction - and find it!

Ten steps west from the heart would put you at the rock that the treasure lay beneath.  In this photo, the heart is on the right and Sarah is at the treasure.

In the center of this picture is the mossy rock I carefully selected for the hunt, and this was before I covered it up!  This was very hard but if it wasn't, it would have been over within a week; and a good treasure hunt shall not be easy!

Sarah, Tim, and Keanu solved the puzzle and went ten steps west from the heart knot. With Sarah using Tim's rake, they could clear the ground and discover the rock!

This is the letter that was double vacuum-sealed inside the box along with $2000.00.  The winners split the money and met me at Kwik Trip for the last $500 and a photo. They are a fantastic, brilliant, motivated tribe of hunters that solved my every clue.  Good Job Keanu, Tim and Sarah!

The winners snapped a few pictures with me. It was dark, but it was so fun to meet the trio.

A big thanks to the winners and the great photos they shared from their adventure. Without them this page would not be possible. Very much appreciated!

From my group of Pirates to yours, we want to say thank you.  We have been planning this for years and are so thankful that you came with us on the adventure.  We had a blast and hope you did too.  If we smiled and made memories, we are all winners.  I hope to see you on the next adventure.
