It was a close chase for riches, however.

As Donovan, Emma and their father were leaving the park, they met another group of pirates heading in. Arrg! While disappointed to see the treasure in young Donovan's hands, they were happy that they had made it to the right place.

Here's the story and riddle Donovan and Emma had to solve: Treasure Hunt # 7 - Oliver (The Great)

The answer to the riddle follows below:

CLXXI totale (171 total sidewalk squares counting from the North side of Conrad & Viola McGrew Nature Preserve.)

tre pause (Oliver is Italian, so this is translated as "3 pauses," or walking bridges on the trail that interrupt or pause the total count.)

Image

a V (Italian for "at V," which is two tree trunks growing out in a "V" shape.)

Congratulations again to Donovan and Emma, who are no strangers to solving my treasure hunts!

Apologies to jonas_opines, who suffered a wasp sting during a brave search for the treasure.

Check back next weekend for another hunt, all of you scurvy scallywags!! Yar!
