2008 St. Paul Winter Carnival Medallion

Submitted by KITCH on

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

Considering one member of Jake's team works right across the street from said statue, and another walks by it 30+ times a year for Wild games I am fairly certain we wouldn't have been at a disadvantage.

Any what's he holding in his right arm?
Thu, 01/03/2008 - 12:02 AM Permalink
KITCH

If Iceman, Regman, and (who I told Iceman to contact). I'd put this team even money against Me2, Jake and Tim.

I know this 3rd person would be a top player on any team :wink:

OT

His right hand is in his pocket but he's carrying a hat and his coat is over his left arm.

This weekend consists of checking all my flashlights, buying batteries, locating snow gloves and pants, pulling out my treasure hunters guide, and putting all the tools in my trunk. :litesmile:

I better get the number just in case!

I wonder what the collective loss of income/potential business all the companies we work for lose when the treasure hunt starts? How many people are mysteriously sick or use PTO?

2 or 3 years ago...

I got a flat tire the day after the hunt.

I was never so happy to have my hunting clothes, boots, and a lantern in my car...

It was sooo cold out but I was a happy camper changing that flat tire.

Lucky the flat tire came after the hunt and not on the final clue at midnight! :smile:

tim_the_hunter

You know not to talk betting with me.

You wouldn't really put them even money, you're just using that as an expression to show that you think they have an equal chance of winning.

If you care to prove me wrong I have $100 on it, if neither team wins it's no action...

tim_the_hunter

well we grew to more than 5 members a few years ago, so it was necessary for this hunt.

plus AW needs more teams to raise money.

I'm on Iceman's team too, so this mysterious 3rd person would actually be a mysterious 4th person. :eek:

So do we know if the 1st clue will be out in the early edition of the Sunday paper on Saturday?

Brassmonkey

Quick Poll:

Is the medallion hidden already?
Thu, 01/03/2008 - 11:39 AM Permalink
barefootguy

Probably not, I think Boxmeyer said once that back when he wrote the clues he would usually hide it the Friday before the hunt.

I doubt it.
