Welcome to Little Joe's Treasure Hunt
Joe has taken some time off from his ranch work over the last few days to work on one of his little money making schemes. He’s had to keep his antics away from the ever watchful eyes of his pa, but he has managed to make himself quite a lot of cash this time round. Trouble is Ben has told him in no uncertain terms that he needs to get back to his real work or else! That’s left Joe with a bit of a problem, as he secretly stashed his gold coins all over Little Joe’s Junction and he’s asking us Boomers for help in tracking them down, and that's not just because he’s not been able to coerce Hoss to go along with his scheme this time. 
Of course he’s not asking you do this for nothing, as there’s sure to be a reward for your efforts.
Now we all know how mischievous Little Joe can be and he’s not disappointed us this time round!
It’s not that he doesn’t trust us, but he’s managed to lose track of the exact places where he left his booty and all he has is a set of clues that will eventually lead to the whereabouts of his loot! There is of course the added difficulty of his pa watching him like a hawk, which means he’ll only be able to leave us a couple of clues a day for us to follow over the next two weeks!Now I’m sure there are lots of Boomers who’d like to help out Little Joe so here’s what you need to do.
Come back to this thread on Monday June 3rd and visit each day for two weeks. Each day you’ll find two of Joe’s clues, which will take you on a journey around Little Joe’s Junction and will help you identify specific past posts. You’ll know you’ve found the right posts when you find this little bag of money
that Joe has hidden there. You need to 'collect' these money bags by making a note of the name of the member whose post the bag can be found in. You’ll also see that on the second clue there will be a question alongside the money bag, the answer to which will be the name of a Bonanza Episode. There’s no telling what type of question it’ll be - maybe a picture, a puzzle or just an everyday straight forward question! Who knows with Joe, as I’ve already mentioned we know how mischievous he can be!Please don’t post your answers in this thread just keep a note of them each day and then send them to me in a PM, as I've agreed to be Joe's coordinator for my sins
. Your answers need to arrive to me by midnight your time zone, Wednesday June 19th, which should give everyone plenty of time. At the end of two weeks you should have 28 members names and 14 episode names.Little Joe has agreed that everyone who helps him out and gets all their answers correct will get a share of his lost bonanza! So have some fun and earn yourself one of Joe’s little money bag badges as your reward, courtesy of our very talented Pegasus.
All clues and answers will be found in Little Joe’s Junction
Here's an example of what the clues will look like :-
1 – Find “LJ POD 11-16 Feb ~ 40 Years Ago” and see who made reference to liking “The Hunter”.
The answer to this is Calamity who wrote on Monday Feb 11th “I just love The Hunter and can't wait until you get there.” You know you'll have the right post as you'll find Joe's money bag hidden in her post. The next clue will be alongside that money bag and it will take you to another thread and past post in Little Joe's Junction. Again note the name of the poster and this time alongside the money bag icon will be a puzzle/question eg. “Name the episode where Joe asks Laura White to marry him?” - Answer - The Storm.
