The Unforgettable Hunt

By Heaven James

As the kinesthetic learner I am, our scavenger hunt was the perfect and most fun experience I have had 

in awhile. The scavenger hunt stretched our brains to solve clues, but also, stretched our bodies, 

venturing to our destinations. The first of the clues lead us to the Molly Brown House Museum. I had 

never been to the museum, but instantly remembered writing a paper on Molly back in 4th grade. I was 

so excited to finally get to go! The house was amazing and I learned so much about Molly. I loved 

learning that she would actually yodel out on her front balcony. It makes me want to step out on my 

front patio and give yodeling a go! The next clue lead us to the Capital building. I love the architecture of 

the building and had never known the stairs had any more meaning besides being stairs. The stairs 

signifying the miles above sea level of Colorado was a very cool addition. The next stop was to the 

Denver Public Library. The library is beautiful! I could have stayed there all day! I love books! Even 

though we weren’t able to look inside Jill Tietjan’s archives we were able to look at the inventory for the 

archives and that was just as fantastic! There were so many awards and certificates. I thought to myself, 

what an amazing woman! She’s achieved so much! It inspired me to achieve as much as I can and do as 

much as I can, to make a difference in others lives and my own. We then traveled to take a picture In 

front of the black American West Museum. I was shocked to see it as a cute house. The fact that the 

museum was a house made it feel more familiar. When we went in front of Coors Field to ask people the 

questions I was so excited! It reminded me of those Youtube videos I watch all the time, of people 

walking up to random people on the streets and asking them questions. The answers were surprising! 

The answers people gave would be really close at times and then way off at others. I had the best day 

ever! I’m so thankful to the Blossom Project for this unforgettable experience. I can’t wait for what’s to 

come!
