Update to this Quest

(New last haiku for you! North from tower: spruce Next to tower, look downward. Inside tree, treasure.)

Summer 2018 Update for the final stanza, after reaching the tower:

Last clue for you!

Take 25 steps North at standard pace, just away from tower’s base

Find a huge and old, old maple tree,

Trunks count one half and three.

At its base lies a syrup can sans lid.

Your treasure inside.

Be sure to place it back, well hid.
