2023 Syracuse Winterfest Treasure Hunt

Apologies if duplicative, but I didn't see a post about the medallion hunt yet. Always fun to discuss, even for out of towners:

Clue 1
“The Hunt starts today!
Within Onondaga County parks you’ll have to stay.”

Clue 2
“In order for the prize to be found,
you don’t need to climb or dig underground.”

Clue 3
“On the east side of town is where you should head,
If on a treasure hunt adventure you want to be led.”

Clue 4
"The next landmark on our adventure is a citrus-named rock-
Along it treasure hunters should flock.”

Clue 5
“Full of traffic and some sort of corner,
this intersection is the name of a president, treasure hunt explorer.”

It does seem to point to that area, whether Pratts Falls or some other park nearby
