This one has pickup lines, an argument about whether paragliding counts as transportation, a longer argument about whether a Caterpillar tractor counts as a big cat, three separate definitions of the word barrow, a game we stole from an improv troupe, and then, eventually, actual treasure hunt theories.

Clue 3 of the Bank of Utah Where's the Wallet Cash Quest is out, and Christian walked in with a solve the other two had never heard. The lonely soul who danced among the flowers is William Wordsworth, who wrote "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud." Alpine, Utah was settled by a William Wadsworth, and it started out as Fort Mountainville, a mud fort. A very muddy ville. From the monument at Legacy Park you walk straight up Main Street, no turns, to the Alpine Cemetery at the base of Cemetery Hill. A barrow placed below the hill. On Clue 1 he has moved off Promontory Point and onto the Golden Spoke monument at the Point of the Mountain, one letter off the Golden Spike and sitting right on the Salt Lake and Utah county line. Clue 2 still has us beat. Everything we find points at Lehi, and Lehi is a city, not a county.

If you are here for real solve work, there is a poem, an 1850 census, and a fault line in here. If you are here for five minutes on whether a tractor is a big cat, we have that too.

In This Episode:

• Caden explains the new no-gatekeeping policy: he does not believe in us, he believes in the audience
• The Golden Spoke, which is technically a plaque, which Christian keeps calling a monument
• Follow the big cats, and no, not the Cougars
• Christian calling his own confirmation bias out loud before the solve, because he and Caden both grew up in Alpine
• A barrow is a burial mound, a wheelbarrow, or a castrated male pig, and only one of those helps
• Hey Baby, a new pickup line segment that Christian swept in three rounds
• Christian goes on record at 72 percent

Listener challenge: there is exactly one trail in Alpine that shares a name with someone on the 1850 census carved into that cemetery monument. Christian knows which one and will not say it. Go find it and tell us.

If you send us a solve and you do not want us talking about it on the show, say so and we will not.

Next week, Christian's new segment: the Seven Habits of Highly Ineffective Treasure Hunters.

Clue one was a gentle lob right over the plate. Clue two came in and completely rocked our confidence. Caden, Christian, and Chad dig into Bank of Utah's second clue for the "Where's the Wallet" Cash Quest, and things get weird fast — is it about locomotives, automotives, or just plain old motives? Is Box Elder County still in play, or did we all fall for the misdirection the clue literally warned us about?

We revisit the Box Elder theory (sweet sap, unsettled territory, Promontory Point train ties), float a Weber County curveball, and yes, someone brings up Cache County purely because it lets us say "Cache my Cache Quest" out loud. Buckle up.

Got a theory better than ours? Send it our way — happy to read it on the show, or keep you anonymous if you'd rather just quietly be smarter than us.

Leave us a review! Every episode we pick a favorite and send that reviewer $25. Make us laugh, make us think, or just tell us we're wrong about Box Elder.

In This Episode:

• Caden's 5-year-best solve streak gets a shoutout (thanks, dude)
• Six-legged vs. eight-legged, and Highway 8 vs. Highway 6
• "We're cashing up" — an instant classic, we don't make the rules
• Locomotive → automotive → literal motive, a philosophical journey
• Box Elder trees have sap you can tap, and now you know too
• The Cache County pitch that may or may not just be brand loyalty
• A Utah trivia bonus round, because five words really can be "Under the Banner of Heaven"

We are back after a year and a half, new hunt, new poem, new pig. This is the Bank of Utah Where's the Wallet Cash Quest, $20,000 on the line, and we are already behind schedule.

Before we get anywhere near clue one, Chad becomes a farmer's market guy, Caden gets stranded in Chicago like Home Alone, Christian debuts a segment he did not run by anyone, and somebody says a word he cannot explain why he said.

Then we actually break down the first stanza and land hard on Promontory Point. Motive means locomotive. Connection means the two rail lines meeting. Box Elder County, here we come.

If you are here for the solve, it is in there. If you are here to watch one host go zero for the night on every single bet he makes, that is also in there.

Best review on this episode wins $25. Extra credit if your name is Janet, for reasons that will make sense about 33 minutes in.

In This Episode:

• Christian keeps calling you readers and will not be stopped
• A word association segment that makes no sense until it makes perfect sense
• How Long Will It Take, our new game with no rules and no clear winner
• A goalkeeper riddle nobody solved and a banana riddle nobody wanted
• The pig side quest, and the one they hid 50 yards from our office
• Tonksville, a real city in Box Elder County that we definitely did not make up
• Buy a zucchini, get a Cache Me Outside hat
• The entire preamble to the Constitution, performed live and mostly wrong
• Whether the ground under Utah Lake is going to liquify

Send us your theories on clue two. If you send an audio message we will play it. If you sing it, that is a guarantee.
