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

The medallions clear, correct. Sounds like it's in a block of ice. Invisible.

Keller is not a large park, could they be bringing us to Phalen/Keller in general or do you think its just keller?

rinse off all our prints - seems to make me think it's near water - if you are doing a crime, and you want to get rid of evidence you toss it in the river - cause it will get rid of things faster.

also - am I forgetting a park with a golf course - not sure if i'm including or excluding at this point - but here is what I got:

Como, highland, phalen, (ponds) battle creek, keller golf course (at battle creek?)

This is the real clue. Spoon lake is part of Keller Park. We might have a winner folks

Sounds like the CW just gave us the northern border of the park with spoon lake and last night gave us the southern border with ivy=rash

oops I meant keller (phalen for golf course) not battle creek.. too lazy to edit

This'll totally get lost in the shuffle, but this clue is a guise! The clue just says it's in the county - NOT out of Saint Paul. Don't get sucked into a red herring and believe it says something it doesn't. Gather your guys - because the clue writer did.

Keller is bigger than it looks.

Remember it is on both sides of 61.

I think Keller just because they made a point of talking about the county, but that could be a red herring. Sophia Ave. (Sophia being Greek for wisdom) is near Keller, but actually runs into the north end of Phalen.

This is the 2nd refrence to a POLE. There has to be a flag pole in site.

Keller is a decent sized park. It goes from just north of 36 down to the northern edge of Phalen. It could be a mess there. Most of the lots are closed and unplowed this time of year.

and 61 is the old bootlegging route to go along with the gangster noodles.

stick to your nose - It's a trick! The most evident thing is right under your nose - it's IN St. Paul...

A 2nd reference? I think I'm missing it.

As much as everyone may think I'm crazy and stupid but Como is due- and they have the Space Needle at the Fair Grounds: The park is in 2 cities. But I do like the Spoon Lake clue;

I may of mis read it. But what I read was "It may sound risible" and when I thought of rise and pole I thought of Flag Pole. But I'm also Half asleep.

What am I missing here. How did we get Spoon Lake out of this clue?

I'm going to bed - but mark my words, put me in the movie - I say it's a trick, and it's in St. Paul.

I'm not convinced its specifically at keller, the last two clues have established boundaries of the north and south. Ivy=rash seems clear now but who knows.

Have you never stuck a spoon on your nose?
Mon, 01/21/2008 - 9:50 PM Permalink
tom

I think they are talking about how when we were kids we would stick a spoon to our nose and try and ballance it. The cheaters would stick their gum to the spoon.

I'm frustrated by this clue. Spoon is a very convenient fit, but I still think it is too early to give it away.

Could this merely be an "ice rink" clue. Puck and on your toes.

l and a mommy

I think that it could be a clear puck in ice or could be a special coin like a quarter that nobody would think to look for or its made to look like a chunk of ice...I really think its outside the city limits even though I don't want it to be. But if its true that last year Roseville got PO'd about it being in their park they might want to keep it in St. Paul and yet make us think its not....I like Keller the best right now to be honest I just think it might be to obvious and therefore improbable....I give up my noodle isn't working well tonight everything still seems probable.

I'm not sure that the rash necessarily refers to Ivy. I think it refers to the idea that they not only went out of St. Paul for a second hunt in a row, but they ventured into Maplewood which no one ever thought they would do again. But I do agree with Redbear that it could still be on the St. Paul side as it could be back in the mosh pit on the north end pf Phalen which would also be rash.

Puck's invisible if your blind ... Keller

I think this confirms Keller
