Default Treasure Hunt Contest!

Lately I've been thinking - with winter fast approaching - that many folks will be putting away their machines and diggers and wondering what to do with themselves until the ground thaws...Well, I think I've come up with something that will keep us from feeling sorry for ourselves - and with Gregory's permission - I've "buried" a Lesche digging tool somewhere in the United States - in a super secret location known only to me - and it's up to all of you, my fine detectives of all things buried and valuable, to figure out where it is...

Very soon, I'll post the official Rules of the Hunt and the first clue...I promise it won't be easy - and everyone will have to reach down deep and use the Indiana Jones inside of you to locate this enviable item.

The winner will receive one new Lesche digging tool - heck, maybe even a sheath - so it accessorizes nicely with whatever the well dressed TH'er is wearing this season (or next season if you happen to live in the great white north and can't actually hunt until spring)!

This should be a lot of fun - and you may even learn a bit about history and geography in the process!

Stay tuned and Happy Hunting!

OK - here it is: The Hunt for EPC Guy's Treasure...

Buried somewhere in the continental United States is EPC Guy’s treasure. Your mission is to be the FIRST person to correctly discover its location based on the clues provided. The prize for discovering the treasure site will be a Lesche digging tool.
Once a clue is correctly answered, the next clue will be posted.

During the course of the hunt, the FIRST person who correctly solves the current clue will be awarded one point; at the end of the hunt, the person with the highest number of points will win a “Red Book” coin guide. Point totals will be posted as each clue is correctly answered.

The first correct answer to individual clues, as well as, the first correct identification of the treasure site will be determined by the earliest date and time that is stamped on your responses.

The hunt will contain seven (7) clues, unless it is determined that more are needed to complete the hunt.

To preserve the integrity of the hunt, the location of the treasure, as well as, the answers to the individual clues will be provided to Gregory in advance.
If everyone is with me…here’s Clue #1….happy hunting and good luck to all!

James Stewart and Marion Morrison changed their names; together they can start you in the right direction.

Good reasoning Beale - but not correct! The answer will be pretty evident when this is solved...and folks can guess as many times as needed until we get a correct answer to the clue...thanks!
