2008 St. Paul Winter Carnival Medallion

Medallion Hotline 651-228-5547 

 


Clue #1 You've joined the hunt for the regal runt 
To prove searching does pay 
Don't dig a hole or knock down a pole 
And the golf course is out of play 

Last year Jake took home the cake 
With a clue a bit off level 
This year we'll rinse off all our prints 
Lest this hunt go to the devil 

Clue #2 The point of all this is so that you won't miss 
Your big chance to grab all the cash 
Now gather your guys and a gal who is wise 
You'll have to do something quite rash 

Clue #3 We've scanned the county to hide our bounty 
And keep you on your toes 
It may sound risible, but our puck's invisible 
Although it might just stick to your nose. 

Clue #4 How fun is the snow how far will we go 
You really ought to go see 
Get up for the mission and not just the wishin' 
Get into the game-it's all free 

Clue #5 There once was a clue that drove you-know-who 
To threaten a heinous act 
We'd use it again but we're afraid of his pen 
My friend, that's an unfortunate fact 

Clue #6 All ye who look should honor the book 
As one who stood for hope 
Much was built in the name of the kilt 
Look sharp now and never mope 

Clue #7 If you should go look high then low 
One could see it from a bower 
If it's your bent you might seek a tent 
To protect in case of shower 

Take note of the wood and do what you should 
To extract the prize for yourself 
Build a bridge to your dreams as high as they seem 
Leave nothing behind on the shelf 

Clue #8 Look at the buck to acquire good luck 
In finding the grail this year 
Link a jar,a line, a star lawyer divine 
While crying in your beer 

He won, then lost and the nation was tossed 
Into strife that was far from civil 
The point I'm making is yours for the taking 
Believe me - not the message board drivel 

Clue #9 This name brings tears, elation and cheers 
And occasionally even outrages 
It sits on walls and rides the halls 
And fills a dozen pages 

The hills are alive and you'll have arrived 
Refrain from the very injurious 
Be bold and be brave but your skin you must save 
What's off-limits should frankly be obvious 

Clue #10 Look for the sight you hope is just right 
You're doubtful and you're torn 
Make the rounds for what rhymes with grounds 
And part of a rose with a horn 

Through flames and flow this park where you'll go 
Is the site of sacred relics 
Stay away from these and the cliffs if you please 
Or you'll be in a heckuva fix 

Clue #11 Air and river sounds lead all to Mounds 
Far from the graves take your entourage 
Twixt Burns and Thorn, an icy pathway is born 
Across Mounds from a gray house and tan garage 

Hell no fury hath as those on the wrong path 
Mounds and Warner form a woodsy perimeter 
The path not official contains footprints beneficial 
Some 300 trudges in - quest for a quitter 

This trail you must follow goes down a narrow hollow 
Under a fallen tree to an old rusted drum 
From here you must search for a hillside path perch 
Wherein lies the center of fun

By default I'd say yes.

Also, does everyone know about the new park in downtown? I just found a cache there the other day. Of course they haven't had a downtown hunt in years.

Still, good to know your parks.

All I can predict is the drinking in Mounds part. :litesmile:

I like Mounds and Highland, but I still think the clue writer is going to throw us a curve ball because Jake blabbed about the park rotation thing at the press conference last year.

my gut says small park this year especially if the snow sticks around.

I had a blast last year at the Vulcan Victory dance and so I plan on going again this year. I am getting that crazy feeling in my loins again. There is snow on the ground and a chill in the air. . . it is time for me to take my bath! Then I plan on getting out the maps and getting ready to have some fun with the hunt. Hope that everyone has a happy holiday season.

So...

I went to Fratellones the other day to get the Garage Logic DVD for my step-dad for x-mas... and to meet Soucheray...

I got a pic taken with him, and had him sign the DVD cover/sleeve...

as he's signing it I say "Hey Joe, where ya think the medallion is gonna be this year?"

Joe: "I think we're lucky we still have a hunt"

I told him that I'm one of the CC, and he got a big smile on his face, and says "ohhh yeah!!! I love reading all those chat boards, and seeing what everybody has to say":

I think he was referring to the hell that is twincities.com, but who knows....

maybe we should send him a link and some directions to here....

I also told him about the Pre-Dig.... he seemed to think it was a cool idea.... a buncha hunters, getting together to celebrate the beginning of the hunt....

I'll post the pic in the pics thread or whatever, as soon as I can get to a computer that will let me do it...

The Hider 2008

"Where to hide it this year? I gotta be smarter than last year. Damn that Jake! Ha! a big park with woods and vague clues that remotely suggest it is in a park! That will get them. ... No, that's what I did last year and they found it right away. Damn that stinking Jake!"

"Maybe a new twist, a small park no one has ever heard of before. So small it isn't even listed in that stupid hunters' guide. No, no, no they will think of that. Damn that a**hole Jake!!

"Or maybe I'll hide it outside of St. Paul, Yeah, they won't expect that 2 years in a row. .. except they will, they always do. DAMN THAT HOMO JAKE!!

That's it! Homo Jake, Como lake. The path around Como Lake. They won't look there, and I can reuse all those great clues like L'Etoile du Nord, and Ann Bilansky.

I thought they asked Posen to hide it this year?

I mean, after he did such a good job hiding the second medallion in roseville (aka Posenville), it was just natural to assume he'd do it again.
