Longshot Magazine's treasure map: follow it and win $750

Over the weekend, the staff of Longshot Magazine (previously known as 48 Hour Magazine) hid $750 somewhere in San Francisco. Now they've revealed four clues on their web site — including this treasure map by Wendy MacNaughton — to help you find it. If you locate it, the cash is yours. So what are you waiting for?

  What am I waiting for?

  An excuse to go to San Francisco. Which, let’s be honest: $750 is not enough of an excuse. I’d be better off hiding $750 in Pittsburgh and hoping somebody finds it. “Somebody” being me. Which should be trivial, if I’m the one that hides it.

  Based on the map, I’m fairly convinced you could find this money in Frick Park, so they may still have hidden it in Pittsburgh.

  As an ex-analyst of maps, I can state that them’s some poor cartography skills there.

  Argh! I know where it is, but I’m not in the city! I suppose it’ll be found soon; probably already has.
