Euphemia’s Treasure
Euphemia was a young Scottish girl that dreamed of becoming the world champion Scottish Highland dancer. Her father, Kenneth, who played the bagpipes, challenged her to dance in different parts of the ancient woods of Springfield, now known as Smedley Park. Come, follow the trail that Euphemia traveled as she danced her way to greatness.
1. As you enter the park, drive all the way through to the parking area at the end of the road under the highway. Park under the highway.
2. Before the area became a parking lot, Euphemia would dance the Pas De Basque as a warm-up on the higher bluff between two willow trees. Stand between the two willow trees as she did.
3. At this point, Euphemia and her father would begin their walk on the trail, found slightly to the left while facing south.
4. Begin walking on the trail, which is marked with three golden dots on a tree to the left of the trailhead.
5. At the fork, follow the golden marked trail, which leads to a dirt path under the highway, where Euphemia practiced the Sean Truibhas.
6. You should see the continuation of the golden marked trail on the other side of the highway, where an old stump sits on the left of the trail. Here, when the stump was younger, Euphemia and her father would stop to enjoy their breakfast.
7. Continue on the trail where you will meet a highroad or low road. Choose whichever you prefer, as they will meet up shortly.
8. Follow the trail, until you come upon a crick, where in their day, flowed a fresh spring that would offer a cool drink to Euphemia and her father. At this point, Kenneth would instruct Euphemia to take the highroad away from the golden trail, as it would be more of a challenge and strengthen her legs.
9. They would follow the zigzag trail upward until they came across a fallen tree on the left whose exposed roots were splayed like a winning star. From that tree, Euphemia hid her first treasure.
10. To find the first treasure, turn away from the fallen tree and you will see the largest ash tree, which is marked with a square battle wound. Her first treasure is at the base of the tree.
At this point in Euphemia’s training, she had proven to her father that she had the motivation to become a champion Highland dancer. However, her father had one last test. In order to dance a perfect Highland Fling, she had to leap on the same spot continuously for the entire dance.
1. Continue along the unmarked trail onward and upward away from the star rooted fallen tree.
2. This trail led Euphemia and her father over a rocky crick, and then over a small rickety bridge.
3. They came across a fork where Kenneth told Euphemia to take the low road to the last practice spot.
4. Shortly after, you should see, as Euphemia saw, a glittering rock that overlooked the river and valley far below.
At this rock, Kenneth instructed Euphemia to dance the Highland Fling. To perform this dance, she would have to leap in the same spot throughout the entire dance, or fall to her peril.
As he knew she would, Euphemia performed the dance perfectly. She went on to compete in Scotland and became the world champion.
Years later, Euphemia came back to that glittering rock, and decided to hide her Celtic knot stamp.
5. Stand on the glittering rock looking at the river below. Turn to the right, and you will see three large rocks with one creating a table.
6. Euphemia hid her last treasure under this table rock.
As long as you have this Celtic knot stamped into your book, you will have the motivation to follow your dreams.

Special Note: If you are confused at the spelling of these dances, do not fret. Look them up on Youtube, and experience the Scottish Highland dances for yourself.
