Not Eisenhower, but readjusted, a 5 and a 3
O.K. now a 4 and a 2 then 0
Three you should see
Even before you're the hero.
Explanation:
Re-adjust 5 and 3 to 35, but not Hwy 35 (the Eisenhower Interstate system), County Rd 35 (Upper Afton Rd). Re-adjust 4 and 2 to 24 then add 0 to get the address 240 on the only mailbox on Battle Creek Entrance Rd , the three you would see before driving into this part of the park. You could also see three picnic tables from the hiding spot. Note- this clue tells you what park, which part of the park, and narrows the hiding spot if you figure it out.

Clue #8
Published on Sunday, May 18, 2003
This one is more than a two-stepper
I do mean this from the heart
So find a man as funny as himself
To get an early smart start.

Our coin has been out there
Since the beginning of time it seems
It's been out there so long
It's haunting my dreams.
Explanation:
The coin was hidden a little more than 2 steps away from the heart of the tree. Bill Cosby (B.C.) starred in the comedy "Himself". Smart Start is a cereal made by Kellogg, whose headquarters is in Battle Creek, MI. The beginning of time=B.C.

Published on Monday, May 19, 2003
Before we put you in
Another kind of mental trance
This should help you find your road
Learn phonetics to advance.

Keep in view the running stream
Remember Snow, Wizardry and Magic
Elements to button up it seems
Knowing not this park is tragic .
Explanation:
Phonetically spelled Batl Krek in the first letters of each line, also put in trance road at the end of the first few lines to give you Battle Creek Entrance Road. Wizardry Magic and Snow were the themes of winter carnival buttons 3 years (57, 70, 95) it was at Battle Creek.

Marleys 1st name and a short comedian
Combined to make a transportation show star
All these you can see from the brown meridian
And from the treasure one near, one far.

From the treasures eye
Seen is water on high
And another that falls
Near holes in the walls.

If zone 1 was evil
And zone 2 was a fake
4 and 5 bring your advil
well its zone 3 for criminey sake!

Battle Creek is the park
If you're still in the dark
Go now and you will see.

Picnic tables that number three.

Our coin is securely stuck
In a hole covered by compost debris.
