 Goldie 

 Staunton River State Park 

 Scottsburg, Virginia 

Past the cabins towards the river overlook,
is the path that Goldie undertook.

​

She ambled on to find Sweetgum,
wondering from whence this sign did come.

​

Ten more footfalls toward the lake,
Then a turn to portside she did make.

 

Now looking straight she did see a tree,
That was no longer where it used to be.

 

Twenty-six footfalls to this tree,
A crack in the middle she did see.

 

A puzzle piece of a wooden sort,
Hides what you consider of import.

 

She left a portrait for you to find,
Please rehide well, if you'd be so kind.
