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

guise (gz)
n.
1. False appearance; pretense: spoke to me under the guise of friendship.
gather your guys = gather your guise = get ready for red herrings/misdirection
an outward or token appearance or form that is deliberately misleading; "he hoped his claims would have a semblance of authenticity"; "he tried to give his falsehood the gloss of moral sanction"; "the situation soon took on a different color"
Crosby gave us the park on clue 2
Phalen, clue 2 as well.
IMHO the PP boards are just trouble and nothing good ever comes from it...
maybe law low at 2-6am...cuz odds are booze is involved :wink:
We just scored a free corporate apt downtown at Galtier for the weekend. Thurs-Sun no more traveling back and forth to chaska!!!!!
I may not be fully recovered and my mind is still not thinking clearly but I can sit and page through map books had to go back to old editions to find it...I knew I had seen them in one of them...

Nope, I think they checked each other out. Keep searching, false alarm!

thoughts?
randy
I was just slogging through before laying out my 'revelation' that something "rash" to us would be to go outside St.Paul. (At least to the general hunting public {and to those of us south of the river} who typically 'expect' to be in a St Paul park.)
Stay away from the puck!
info on the northrup's
Using this city map http://www.stpaul.gov/depts/parks/rental-permits/rentalpdfs/2007%20lilydale%20fossil%20hunting%20map.pdf
This puts Echo cave, the brick ovens, a waterfall, and two fossil beds as things in play.
Note to self - Let the clues fit the parks, don't make the park fit the clues
Welcome back!
What about Florence Nightingale?..she was a gal who was wise and tended to the army of men as a nurse treating their skin infections.
Florence Nightingale had exhibited a gift for mathematics from an early age and excelled in the subject under the tutorship of her father. She had a special interest in statistics, a field in which her father, a pioneer in the nascent field of epidemiology, was an expert. She made extensive use of statistical analysis in the compilation, analysis and presentation of statistics on medical care and public health.
Nightingale was a pioneer in the visual presentation of information. Among other things she used the pie chart, which had first been developed by William Playfair in 1801. After the Crimean War, Nightingale used the polar area chart, equivalent to a modern circular histogram or rose diagram, to illustrate seasonal sources of patient mortality in the military field hospital she managed. Nightingale called a compilation of such diagrams a "coxcomb", but later that term has frequently been used for the individual diagrams. She made extensive use of coxcombs to present reports on the nature and magnitude of the conditions of medical care in the Crimean War to Members of Parliament and civil servants who would have been unlikely to read or understand traditional statistical reports.
In her later life Nightingale made a comprehensive statistical study of sanitation in Indian rural life and was the leading figure in the introduction of improved medical care and public health service in India.
In 1859 Nightingale was elected the first female member of the Royal Statistical Society and she later became an honorary member of the American Statistical Association.
Deck of cards has two Male face cards, the Jack and the King, and one female--the Queen. So in addition to chess references, we could also be looking for playing card references in the future.
who? Presented by the Sisterhood of the Sacred Corn Mother
why? to honor Mother Earth and explore ancient Wise Woman traditions
where? Lily Dale, New York, phone: 716-595-8721 fax. 716-595-2442
when? June 10-12, 2005
Wisewomen in Lilydale...probably a coincidence....
But there's four women in a deck of cards to eight men. So that would be plural women to me. Unless they're talking about decks of my cards where many are missing. :grin:
