Yarrr - there be treasure in your cities, mateys

November 2nd, 2005

Here there be treasure. Aye, I know there’s no big red X on the map, ye blaggard! Go be watchin’ the video clues. Arrr.

Budget rent-a-car is sponsoring a nation-wide treasure hunt for four weeks, starting last week and going through the first 3 of November. Each week they pick 4 cities, in “North, South, East, and West” groups. Find the hidden sticker each week, and you win 10 grand. It’s only Wednesday, but I’m pretty sure that they’re in Baltimore, for “East” and I know they’re in Seattle for West.

Anyone got a little treasure-hunting in their blood? I have a feeling our friend Jon might be interested, especially since San Diego was screwed up in week one, so we already know they’re going to do a re-do there week four. I’ll probably be sending an email off to Carolyn to let her know about the mad dash for the treasure out in Seattle too. Her art is amazing, but hey, an extra $10g might help pay the bills.

The video clues on that site are fun, because you have a sense of “hey, I’ve been there” for most of them. I bet they’ll be hitting New York soon, and I’ll be watching the clues closely!

Happy Hunting!
