Welcome to the Official Conch Republic Bicycle Treasure Huntย
Before you pedal off into the humidity, here are some ground rules:
Safety First, Glory Second: Key West streets are narrow. Watch for distracted drivers ๐, roaming roosters ๐, and the occasional iguanas falling from trees ๐ฆ.
The Word Hunt: At every destination, there is a hidden word or letter ๐ค. Find it, log it, and keep it moving.
Eyes on the Road: Donโt be โthat guyโ staring at a screen while pedaling. Pull over ๐ฒ to check your clues โ as the Conch Bible clearly states, thou shalt only read thy phone when stopped in a safe place.
The Big Payoff: Limp, wobble, or swagger into the final stop with all the right words, log โem in your phone notes ๐ฑ (e.g., A1=xxx, A2=xxx), and then, at the very end, pluck the correct letters in the SH9 order to forge the secret sentence that unlocks your treasure ๐. Nail it and glory awaits; botch it and the Conch Republic will laugh you back into the sea, matey.
This whole huntโs stuffed with symbols and riddles. These little beauties โ โฌ๏ธ โฌ ๏ธ โก๏ธ โฌ ๏ธ ๐ โ are directions from one named road to the next, and this shiny fella ๐ก means youโre getting a hint. The rest is on you, my sandy-brained swashbucklers โ figure it out or walk the plank.
No pressure to finish in one day โ take a break whenever you need and jump back in tomorrow right where you left off.
