2008 St. Paul Winter Carnival Medallion

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

Now... Would it be pushing the envelope to ask all of you that have DSL and cable to count to like 30 before scrolling down. You know, to kind'a even the field a bit?

Yeah. I thought it was. Oh, well! :sillygrin:

Sorry about posting the pictures in this thread. I will keep them to the pic thread from now on and only post a link to them. Hopefully that will load faster for the dial up peeps.

just change it to a smaller one, mine is 2k, or take it off completely.

It made a huge difference when I was in Iraq, but that was slower than dial-up.

Iceman, occasionaly pics are fine. Every once in awhile. I really was talking about the loady things at the top of the page. When you have to load those each and every time, ittiz sssslllloooow. You're fine. A pic here and there's nothing.

Sometimes it helps to get those pics when noodling. Helps to know if you're on the right track - which I'm usually not - or not. :smile:

I ran across printer's devil today. Thought it might tie in if one of the mobsters printed counterfeit money. Didn't see any reference to counterfeiting, though.

Here are my few noodles so far not much in the way of solid evidence yet but these are my thoughts.

1.Regal Runt - Just smaller puck

2.Are there any golf courses in Ramsey county that might have public land near them but not necessarily a park? Like an easment or whatever that would be owned by the city or county?

3.Point could be refering to there is something specifically pointing towards the direction where the med is hidden.

4.Haven't figured anything different out than what you have already noodled with the guys and a gal who is wise. My very first thought was Bonnie and Clyde but that is one guy then I thought of Ma Barker...Then for some reason I thought of Harriet Tubman

I'll keep noodling until the next clue comes out

Athena was a wise Gal (greek goddess of wisdom). Minerva was her Roman couterpart. I don't know that it fits, but it sounds cool.

I had done some noodling around that...but other than Marydale, Como or Phalen, there didn't seem to be much else.

But if you take Marilyn and a gathering of guys - you could have a parade and she has a column in the Parade section of the Sunday paper. :pbpt:

Okay, after relentlessly sloggin' through all these posts can we please comment??? Thank you!!!!!!

I (male half) like the idea someone posted about guys=guise=red herring.

Also, Harriet is looking good, but that isn't quite as rash as a park outside of St. Paul, or maybe not even a park since we haven't been told it's in a park or in St. Paul.

PilotsHatGuy

I agree outside st paul is a good posability. One can't count out any park at this point

Not remembering all the posts we went through but using the Ma Barker noodle has anyone thought of Barker = Dog Park = Arlington or maybe an off-leash area in other parks?

I also am keeping Keller in mind.

good idea hnt2mch - plenty of dog references in the 1st clue as well...

This was on the pp site. "regal also points to Earl, which intersects with Ivy at Phalen."

Poison Ivy being the rash in clue 2.
Mon, 01/21/2008 - 8:14 PM Permalink
Randahl

ivy runs to como east side as well

hnts2mch

yeah we were thinking maybe it was hidden in a dog turd which would reference back to regal runt or maybe more like a regal grunt :sillygrin:

several parks/ rec centers have several guy names for a street and 1 gal name.

I haven't figured out which gal street name is wise.

God I hope it's not at Arlington-Arkwright. Of all the dog parks we've been too that by far is the worst. Tons of poo there. We went caching there once. Ppppp-ewww. Plus people with unruly dogs.

When it was in Hidden Falls in the baby diaper, my sister still had

her wild game farm and she brought her CAT on a chain leash.

No one bugged us. Although the cat wasn't full grown yet just

6 months old and 60ish pounds.OMG we could of gotten in a lot of trouble bringing a cougar out hunting.
