Nevada Day Treasure Hunt 2021: Clue 6

Good morning seekers! We’re now in the second week of clues! I’ve gotta tell you, my family and I searched all weekend long and couldn’t find it! Have you started searching yet?

Here are the clues we have received so far:

Clue no. 1:

Making an appearance in 2016

Joining seven from before

This year it won’t be

The place for the score

Clue no. 2:

We are rooting for you

To find the treasure

Use your wings

At your leisure

Clue no. 3:

The medallion returns once more

To what is becoming a favored home

Not looking to explore new places

Or go too far to roam

Clue no. 4

The people from here

They managed to stay

Even though their home

Was taken away

Clue no. 5
Rogers and Christopherson

Were pioneers in their own right

Plunging into all twenty-two

To earn the limelight

Clue no. 6
Named for a Greek God

And earning notoriety

Guilty of baldness

Don't get anxiety

***

Clues will be given daily, Tuesday through Saturday, so keep your eyes peeled, and happy hunting! See the Nevada Day Treasure Hunt web page here.
