Published on Sunday, April 12, 2020
A tip of the top hat to the mock hunt godfather David Allison himself,
Who will be the finder to place this trophy upon their shelf?
The longest standing mock hunt writer still leading the class,
To find this treasure you must peer through the looking glass.
Explanation:
Tip/top = North. Top hat = Beaver Lake, a common material used to make top hats. Looking glass = Medallion disguise. This clue was absolutely a show of respect to the White Rabbit, David Allison himself, and also a slight rib jab with the mention of "Trophy on Shelf" as his Medallion is not a keeper, and that sucks... lol.
