Treasure Hunt in SF!
I've always loved treasure hunts, so you can imagine my excitement when I heard about the Diamond Dash treasure hunt. Theo and I woke up on Sat morning and headed to Crissy Field to participate. They gave us breakfast, t-shirts (advertising David Clay Diamonds), and then we were off! Different clues and riddles were texted to each pair and we ran around the area solving and answering the puzzles.
Theo and I solved the final puzzle reasonably fast and were headed to the area where the diamond ring was hidden when we got a txt saying that the diamond had been found, game over. Shucks. But we headed over anyways because it seemed like a cool spot to check out (Wave Organ). On the way, we passed a couple leaving the winning area and they told us they thought it was a hoax because they hadn't seen anyone with the ring and even the cameramen didn't seem to know who won. When we got to Wave Organ (really pretty spot btw), there were two other couples there, a couple photographers, and a couple of the game organizers. Theo and I were chilling on the rocks when suddenly we saw a guy from one of the couples bending down to pick up a box, saying something about how one of the organizers just dropped the box in front of him. The cameraman was right there and rolling as the guy pulled out the $15000 diamond ring, dropped to one knee and proposed :) Apparently he had been the first one there, but his girlfriend wasn't with him, so they were waiting for her to join him. Pretty awesome event!
