Step 1 – Listen to the music and determine who the artist is. The last name of this person is the park where the box is hidden. Be aware that the location is somewhat busy at times, so your discretion will be appreciated. Also, the place can get rather wet although I stayed dry in the placement of the box.

Step 2 – Now you know the artist. Find the first seven lines of the lyrics for the song and substitute them letter by letter into the numbers below. The quotes are to help differentiate words (I could have made this harder……..)

“1 2 3 4”  “ 5 2”

“6”   “7 1 6 8 9”   “6’5”    “10 11 3 3 6 8 12”

“6 8”   “3 13 14 2”    “11 12 11 6 8”

“15 1 2 8”    “6”  “12 2 7”    “7 1 11 7”  “16 17 11 18 19”     “10 2 2 3 6 8 12”

“6”   “9 8 13 15”    “6’5”   “6 8”    “7 17 13 20 21 3 2”      “11 12 11 6 8”

“6’5”   “6 8”    “7 17 13 20 21 3 2”

“’16 11 20 22 2”   “19 13 20’17 2”  “11”  “17 11 5 21 3 2 17”  “11 8 23”   “11”  “12 11 5 21 3 2 17”


Step 3 – The above exercise helped you create a key for the following encoded clues to find the box. Use the key to do the same substitution you did above.

“12 13”   “ 7 13”  “7 1 2”  “10 11 17” “ 22 13 20 7 1 2 11 22 7”  “ 16 13 17 8 2 17” “13 10”  “4 11 17 9 6 8

12”  “3 13 7”  “8 2 11 17”  “7 1 2”  “21 6 12 12 2 22 7” “21 20 6 3 23 6 8 12”.   “1 2 11 23” “ 2 11 22 7” “11 3 13 8 12” 

“11 22 4 1 11 3 7” “ 4 11 7 1” “21 2 7 15 2 2 8” “7 1 2”   “17 13 16 9 22”. “4 11 22 22”  “21 19” 

“11” “5 2 7 11 3” “22 8 11 9 2”. “11 22” “ 4 11 7 1” “16 20 17 14 2 22” “ 7 13” “ 7 1 2” “ 3 2 10 7”, “1 2 11

23” “22 7 17 11 6 12 1 7” “7 13” “15 13 13 23 22” “11 8 23” “3 13 16 11 7 2” “11” “ 7 17 6 4 3 2” “7 17

20 8 9” “7 17 2 2” “8 2 11 17”  “4 6 8 9” “10 3 11 12 12 2 23” “4 13 22 7”. “7 11 9 2” “10 13 20 17 7 2 2

8” “22 7 2 4 22” “7 13” “22 2 2” “11” “ 1 11 3 10” “21 11 3 23” “21 17 13 9 2 8” “12 6 11 8 7” “7 11 8 12

13 6 8 12” “15 6 7 1” “8 6 8 2” “22 3 6 5” “22 6 22 7 2 17 22”. “3 13 13 9” “6 8 22 6 23 2” “7 1 2” “21 6

12” “12 20 19”.
