WYOMING, MI – Joe Cramer, also known as the Wyoming Riddler for more than three decades, issues his final puzzle today:

Here’s the deal: Cramer has hidden a small, oval medallion out in the snow somewhere in the greater Grand Rapids area, and you can use a street map to decipher the riddle and find it. A mug and treasure of silver items awaits the winner.

And this is your last chance.

Cramer, who owns an auto detail shop on Clay Avenue SW, is making this 33rd annual treasure hunt his final one due to time and money constraints and family health issues.

“When I say that word (final) I think about all the yesterdays,” Cramer said. “That’s half my lifetime I’ve been doing this.

“The reason for it was so that people know about carbon monoxide and I have talked to people who were made aware of it and their lives are better now because of it. If I had been that aware, I wouldn’t have had two years of amnesia.”

Cramer started the hunt after suffering amnesia from carbon monoxide poisoning in the 1970s. He has written "Joe's Story," a book about his experience, and blogs about it here.

Last year's medallion was found on 50th Street SW at U.S. 131.
