2007 North St. Paul Snow Frolics Hunt

Submitted by KITCH on

NSP Snow Frolics Medallion Hunt 

Clue # 1 
It’s that time of year again and we missed you too! 
The medallion hunt is back through and through. 
As always, public land on Castles Site is where you need to stay 
To get through the mountains of clues at bay. 

Clue # 2 
North or South is where we begin, 
The direction we go is the direction it’s in. 
The lake or downtown, we have recreation galore, 
Castle had a 520 trade plan when he settled this town. 

Clue #3 
His children’s paths cross where you need to go. 
They’ve left their mark here though they were gone long ago. 
Not all of them were named, just a few to be sure, 
But one of the four can take you by there. 

CLUE #4 
Bethel did it that’s for sure 
On the heels of Yamagata’s door. 
They must have heard of our music man 
To take a stab at our enduring plan. 

CLUE #5 

The final day is here and it’s time for the last clue 
This time of year, it’s Central Park for you. 
But wait! What’s that? It’s over there to be true! 
Nestled in the snow, just waiting for you.

I'm thinking Castles Site is the original land plot name of North St. Paul.

Perhaps this one's in the Urban Ecology Center. That used to be an old Sod Farm on some land plots...

I went and poked aroung Hause for a bit, then went to school. Afterwards I tried to find Castle St by 36. The only place I found was 2 castle Streets intersecting each other by some new houses, but the signs said Maplewood. Maybe I'll look for the other castle street tomorrow by the high school.

What are we looking for anyways?

Wasn't it a postcard last year?

Mr. Med Hunter

It's damn cold out there! The only way I'm going to find it is if I find it during my lunch hour.

Mr. Med Hunter

So did anyone else find the secret message on the North St. Paul clue page? Check it out! Just highlight the area above clue 1 or print it out to show the hidden text. It's way Cooler!

Clue Master

That's cooler! They showed that before. I wonder why they hid it now? Huh Thanks for pointing that out. Did you check there? :smile:

Mr. Med Hunter

Do you mean "under the garbage bin" or "on Jana"?
Mon, 02/05/2007 - 2:53 PM Permalink

Taking the first word from the first line, and the second word from the second....

"Its," "medallion," "public," and "the" ....anagrams to "Incompatible Sleuth Lid" which must refer to the double-brimmed hat Sherlock Holmes wore...so this will probably be a tip (of the hat) that it's near homes (Holmes).......must go crack a window and let the fumes out, now... :eyeroll: :worried: :sillygrin:

They posted the whole thing before. It wasn't hidden.

The 2006 Medillian was found by Jana Armstead at Silver Lake under the recyling bin that sits next to the spiral slide

This clue writer has never been that sophisticated before. But I like it!

"it at polar park" is the work of a non-sophisticated writer.

No that would be if they added the words 'or not' afterwards. :eyeroll: :coolfrown: :wink:

Clue # 2

North or South is where we begin,

The direction we go is the direction itÂ’s in.

The lake or downtown, we have recreation galore,

Castle had a 520 trade plan when he settled this town.

Northwood Park?

Well someone go get it, I can't, again, too much crap to get done (I swear I used to have free time for stuff I enjoyed doing).

a 520 plan is a typo, when theres been too much 4:20 planning. :cool:

Mr. Med Hunter

Well, that didn't quite go as planned. After walking the park I discovered that I had lost my cell phone. I tried to retrace my steps with no luck. So I quickly headed back to work because the only other place it could be is in the parking lot at work. Turns out that someone here found it just minutes before the plow came to plow the parking lot. Cell phones are evil!

So now it's in my pocket on vibrate mode - I sure hope someone calls soon!

so where did you go :wink:
Tue, 02/06/2007 - 11:41 AM Permalink
Mr. Med Hunter

I'd rarther not say where I've been right now. I'll be down in Austin for work tomorrow and will not be able to hunt again until Thursday. I really doubt that it will last that long.

If you find a trail of footprints going in one direction and being retraced in the opposite, you'll know that was me.
