Medallion Clues for week 2

The outlaws had raced through Elysian

On the tracks going south they were freezin’

They parked their steeds late

In a shelter of eight

Then hid among pines for good reason


With the Younger brothers they’d parted

To follow terrain yet uncharted

They had to be wise

Or meet their demise

As through Waseca they darted


To lead their pursuers off course

They circled the county by horse

Biggest manhunt in history

So it’s really no mystery

The James gang ramped up no remorse


Did they weave their way south through a maze

Of pastures where horses could graze?

With a price on their heads

Did they roll north instead,

Netting excitement, and crazed?



Medallion Clues for week 1

There was a folk hero named Jesse

Whose wild life of crime was excess-y

He and his brother

Escaped to take cover

When a botched job in Northfield got messy

 

They camped near Waseca a spell

At least that’s what rumor would tell

The Youngers --arrested

The James boys—detested

They risked spending time in a cell

 

Of course, they were toting some loot

As the James pair eluded pursuit

The sought for MEDALLION

Slid from the spurred stallion

As Jesse dug deep with his boot

 

In the next weeks we’ll follow their trail

As the brothers avoided sure jail

In limerick style

We’ll cover their miles

And we’ll locate the coin without fail
