The Winners of kayak Jack and the Triple treasure 2021

1/6

THANKS FOR ADVENTURING WITH US!

KAYAK JACK and the triple treasure hunt is officially over.  


The winners from all sections have come forward and you can see their pictures above.


In the next few weeks, we will put out a Revealed edition that will go over every single clue in the book.  It will be on Amazon and in paperback and digital.


For those that don't want to buy another book, we offer a brief snapshot below of each leg so you can see how close you were!


For those that want to know every clue, you will need Revealed. 


 But there are far worse ways to spend money than at Pirate Island - the more books we sell, the more treasure we can hide!


Thanks for coming on the adventure with us!  


And we hope you will join us on the next hunt.


Nathan Kippley




SECTION ONE

CARVER-ROEHL

THREE TREES ON THE TRAIL

PAST THE WATER

If you follow the clues correctly, you end up at Carver-Roehl Park in Rock County

PAST THE WATER

THREE TREES ON THE TRAIL

PAST THE WATER

If you follow the clues, you figured out that we went down this trail but ended in a big loop and the treasure was right by the parking lot.

THREE TREES ON THE TRAIL

THREE TREES ON THE TRAIL

THREE TREES ON THE TRAIL

In the book, Jack calls out three specific trees.  Each of the trees mentioned had a plaque on the trail, with the last and final one being the Red Oak.

THE PARKING LOT

THE PARKING LOT

THREE TREES ON THE TRAIL

Shortly after the Red Oak tree, there is a trail/washout, and that is where Jack ventured. Roughly twenty yards down the trail and to the right sat the treasure.  It was off the trail another fifteen feet and the marker faced away from the trail, making it impossible to see from the trail.

Shortly after the Red Oak tree, there is a trail/washout, and that is where Jack ventured. Roughly twenty yards down the trail and to the right sat the treasure.  It was off the trail another fifteen feet and the marker faced away from the trail, making it impossible to see from the trail.


In this picture we are standing with the treasure at our feet and looking towards the parking lot.  Just past the trees is the parking lot, and the starfish is forward and to the left before you get back on the main trail.







THE MARKER

THE PARKING LOT

THE STARFISH

This marker itself was hard to see and over time, it weathered and got worse. Leaves gather up and only made it harder, but that is part of the game with nature.

 We initially carved it with a rock, but we went back over it with a knife to make it deeper and more visible.

The treasure was hand buried directly below the marker.


"Jack grabs a rock and marks the spot,"





THE STARFISH

THE PARKING LOT

THE STARFISH

This is the starfish Jack ventured past on the way out of the woods. The treasure was about halfway between the last oak tree sign and the starfish. Our intention was if you walked that path a few times, you would find it.

The starfish made a great marker, and it is very close to the parking area.





SECTION TWO

GORDON PARK, MILWAUKEE

GORDON PARK, MILWAUKEE

GORDON PARK, MILWAUKEE

If you follow Jack, you end up in Milwaukee and where he parks at is Gordon Park.

ACROSS THE BRIDGE

GORDON PARK, MILWAUKEE

GORDON PARK, MILWAUKEE

Jack crosses the Bridge at the edge of the park and heads down by the river.

THE ORANGUTANG GYM

GORDON PARK, MILWAUKEE

THE ORANGUTANG GYM

If you stay on the trail, you go through a figure eight and come into what looked like an orangutang enclosure at the zoo, complete with a rope swing.  With this being one of the few things called out in the book, we thought it would be well searched and lead to finding the 372.  This section was very hard because of the vastness of the trail system if you did not find the 372.

THE TREE MARKER

THE TREE MARKER

THE ORANGUTANG GYM

If you walk behind the swing there is a small trail past this magnificent tree.  This small path is a short cut back to the main and only a few feet long.  Across the main trail from this tree and a few feet away was the small opening to the river bank. If you found this marker you were within 100 steps and just across the trail.  This tr

If you walk behind the swing there is a small trail past this magnificent tree.  This small path is a short cut back to the main and only a few feet long.  Across the main trail from this tree and a few feet away was the small opening to the river bank. If you found this marker you were within 100 steps and just across the trail.  This tree was marked 372.

"Marked by name and under shoe, 

within 100 of 372""

THE RIVER BANK

THE TREE MARKER

THE RIVER BANK

There is no direct clue to the river bank, only hints earlier in the section about Jack always being drawn to water, but we hope at this point you are thinking you're within 100 feet or steps of the treasure and take the closest trail which leads to the water.

THE ROCK PILE

THE TREE MARKER

THE RIVER BANK

If you looked in the rock pile, you would find the rock with KJ on it.  It was down between bigger rocks and if you did not stand right above, you would not see it.


The treasure was under this pile of rocks!

SECTION THREE

THE VIDEO HUNT

WE TRIED TO THROW YOU OFF

WE TRIED TO THROW YOU OFF

If you followed the slides from beginning to end, we hoped you found Baxter's Hollow.

WE TRIED TO THROW YOU OFF

WE TRIED TO THROW YOU OFF

WE TRIED TO THROW YOU OFF

If you found the zoomed in picture of this old fireplace you had gone too far on the trail, we did that as well as mix pictures from other fantastic places in the area.

THE TREE

WE TRIED TO THROW YOU OFF

THE LAST SLIDE

The second to last slide was of this tree.  We purposely took it from a different angle than when you first walk up to it.  This tree was only a few yards off the trail and very visible if you were on the right trail.

THE LAST SLIDE

THE LAST SLIDE

THE LAST SLIDE

The last slide was a picture of our fake rock with a pile of rocks.  This pile was directly behind the big tree.


The rock was not left there - that would have been too easy!


THE SPOT

THE LAST SLIDE

FORTY STEPS

This picture was not in the original video and for good reason.  I am standing right next to the treasure and looking back at the tree.  


My wife is counting the steps to the treasure from the tree.  We split the difference between her forty steps and mine to get an average.


FORTY STEPS

THE LAST SLIDE

FORTY STEPS

Here is where the rock sits with the check inside.  Forty steps from the final picture.  The only clue to this was that the entire video contained forty pictures.  In the last hunt we ended with a certain number of steps you had to figure out.  We showed what the rock looked like, and we put it forty steps from the last picture.  Our hope

Here is where the rock sits with the check inside.  Forty steps from the final picture.  The only clue to this was that the entire video contained forty pictures.  In the last hunt we ended with a certain number of steps you had to figure out.  We showed what the rock looked like, and we put it forty steps from the last picture.  Our hope was someone would try the theory or simply wander around the area long enough to find it.

SECTION FOUR

MARL LAKE

THE CRYSTAL RIVER

THE CRYSTAL RIVER

We hoped to send everyone to Marl Lake, even though the treasure was not there.

If you have never been to Marl Lake it is worth a trip with or without treasure.

THE CRYSTAL RIVER

THE CRYSTAL RIVER

THE CRYSTAL RIVER

In the book Jack was on the river when he realized the treasure was gone.  If you  venture across the lakes you will find the mouth of the Crystal River.  We intentionally cast doubt about where the treasure was lost throughout the story but the big clue was  supposed to be the cover of the book.  The cover was a picture of Jack and the treasure chest is floating past.  

GO LEFT

THE CRYSTAL RIVER

GO LEFT AGAIN!

We had put a header to always go left and there were two reasons for that.  One being two tunnels in Rural.  You must go left and portage.  To the right is a big drop over a small dam.  You will see the sign above the left tunnel and you will hear the roaring water to the right.

GO LEFT AGAIN!

LILLY PADS IN THE CORNER

GO LEFT AGAIN!

It's hard to grasp in one image, but this is the entrance to Humdinger's favorite, Hidden Lake (actually name is Junction Lake).  When the Crystal opens up into the lake there is the main channel or a small channel left, here is where you go left again.

LILLY PADS IN THE CORNER

LILLY PADS IN THE CORNER

LILLY PADS IN THE CORNER

The left path is a small loop back into the main lake.  Here in the corner the treasure was hidden.

This lake is not only Humdinger's favorite, it is also one of mine.  It is covered in beautiful Lilly pads, and nature surrounds you with almost zero development on its shores.

PICK UP THE WIN

LILLY PADS IN THE CORNER

LILLY PADS IN THE CORNER

When I was searching for a spot to hide the treasure there was a full can floating right there in the water.  We felt it was meant to be and we tied a water proof box down with a rock and then tied the floating can to it.  A treasure and a reward for picking up trash!

SECTION FIVE

BRUNET ISLAND STATE PARK

THE SHELTER AND THE BEACH

THE SHELTER AND THE BEACH

In our opinion, section five was the hardest to find the general location.  It has been our goal to let hunters at least get to the hike portion and then the hunt gets harder as it goes.  If you followed the clues, which were difficult, you found your way here to Brunet Island State Park.

THE SHELTER AND THE BEACH

THE SHELTER AND THE BEACH

THE SHELTER AND THE BEACH

Here is the picture of the rock and timber shelter with the beach behind it. This was a clue to confirm location.

TIMBER TRAIL

THE SHELTER AND THE BEACH

TIMBER TRAIL

This is the timber trail directly across from the parking lot and shelter.

TREE OF LIFE

THE GREENEST TREE

TIMBER TRAIL

After the statue crumbled last fall (the tall red half stump from previous pictures), no doubt this hunt got harder.  This is the tree of life and it was critical to finding the treasure.

THE GREENEST TREE

THE GREENEST TREE

THE GREENEST TREE

From the tree of life we send you east, but after you take a break, he changed directions, and you had to find the greenest tree.  Which we know is a very opinionated and vague clue. It made for a hunt!  If you look hard, you can see the shed through the trees and the greenest tree is the moss covered tree in the picture's bottom.

From the tree of life we send you east, but after you take a break, he changed directions, and you had to find the greenest tree.  Which we know is a very opinionated and vague clue. It made for a hunt!  If you look hard, you can see the shed through the trees and the greenest tree is the moss covered tree in the picture's bottom.

Many people asked if the greenest tree meant moss or leaves. We never answered, but when spring set in, the answer became clear as the leaves were still bare.

The tree of life is forward and to the left, just out of view, and the road is to the right.


THE MARKER

THE GREENEST TREE

THE GREENEST TREE

These are the actual markers you were looking for, next to the greenest tree.  This picture is recent. We moved all the leaves to check the treasure, and this is how we left it, but before that, it would have taken a rake to find.


The treasure was below the markers.

GREAT JOB TO THE WINNERS AND ANYONE WHO HAD AN ADVENTURE!
