Not far from where the river bends, a narrow path begins its wending. It carries feet though shade and sun, past whispers of journeys already run. Connected at sixteen, then 'cross prairie's test, to where past wanderers found their rest. You'll find it there, 'long giant's path. where nature brought her awesome wrath.

The first clue shared by Outdoor Bank

“‘The Hunt’ encourages our community to get outdoors, spend time in nature as a family and explore all the amazing places this area has to offer," said Bobby Sloan SVP and director of Marketing at Outdoor Bank. “A $5,000 incentive never hurts, either!"

In addition to the treasure hunt, Outdoor Bank is offering new customers up to $200 in cash bonuses. The promotion lasts from Sept. 12 to Dec. 12.

Outdoor Bank started "The Hunt" in 2023. The bank said the treasure hunt is meant to encourage people to get outside and explore Manhattan.
