San Juan Triangle Treasure Hunt
“The greatest treasure is not what we find, but who we become on the journey.”
In the heart of the Rocky Mountains lies a treasure untold
A secret waiting to be uncovered, a tale to behold
The San Juan Triangle, a mystery in the woods
A place of adventure, where brave souls have stood
Mining history runs deep in these rugged lands
Stories of the past written in the rocks and sands
To embark on this journey, you must be bold
For the faint of heart, this quest is not meant to hold
Hidden in the forest, not buried nor deep
A treasure chest awaits, a promise to keep
Glaciation shaped the land, water flows nearby
But fear not, danger does not lie
No underground tunnels, no perilous cliffs
Just the thrill of the hunt, as your spirit uplifts
Follow your heart, but heed your research
The truth will guide you, on this adventurous march
Electric is the air, as the sunset glows
Ghosts of miners past, their presence shows
Mining relics scattered, a glimpse of the past
As you near the peaks, the treasure will be vast
So enjoy the quest, with wonder in your eyes
For in the San Juan Triangle, a mystery lies
A treasure hunt like no other, in the Rockies so grand
A tale of adventure in this rugged land.
