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

They're talking about this at the PP board regarding "stick to your nose". Interesting.

Fitting Hockey Sticks

It is very difficult to control a stick that is too long or too short. You will probably not be able to find a stick that is the exact right size. Buy the stick a little long so you can cut it down to the perfect fit. To measure proper length, stand in your stocking feet, without your skates, on a flat surface. Place the stick on the ground between your feet. Mark the stick where it touches your nose and have a professional cut the shaft

yup. I just did that 2 weeks ago...

I was also thinking (stretch?) that when you draw back your bow, your arrow(stick) is very close to/if not touching your nose.

I'm at home CM

I like the spoon thing, but I still think Harriet for now.

Now gather your guys and a gal who is wise = the Dr Justus statue and Wigginton whatever building=2 guys. Gal whos wise=Harriet = first permanent school in the city. Its also the cities historical gathering place. If you gather them (2 guys and harriet statue) it puts you in the middle of the field. Of course rinse your prints = showers and baths at harriet and the whole devil island thing is just too much of a coincidence for me. Rash also referes to DR Justus Ohage, commissioner of health. Thats the reason the baths were shut down. People got rashes from the polluted water. Plus all those knocked down poles down there.

I think its in the middle of the field at harriet. We should get everyone to do a line and rake the whole thing. That would be a rash measure to take to find it before clue 3 like last year. I think thats the message in clue 2 about being rash. Rash measure to find in 3 clues. The field is surrounded by the 2 guys and gal, and a flag pole

I'm just gonna ignore clue 3 for now.

Its probly just saying the new puck is clear if it is indeed Harriet. Gotta admit that I like spoon though. But how bout inside a old ski mask. Would that stick to your nose?

also no one mentioned a clown nose =stick to your nose

The regal runt may be a smaller med that would fit into this

2 inch clown nose Do they come in white?

Invisible could just mean its hidden inside so you can see it.

another thought on harriet is maybe its not on the level grass=off level and on the dike? Stretching that I think.

or stick to your No's=numbers?

I hate this clue!

I'd like Spoon better if it was bigger. There is the City portion across the road from the fishing area, but no off-street parking to get to it. Just a long sliver of woods between homes there.

South end of Spoon fishing area has an eagle nest watching spot. That's pretty cool, though. If the eagles are home.

hahahaha maybe they know redbear....

Sue this clue makes a king cake come to mind - they're talking about a "regal runt" and "lest this hunt go to the devil" - since a king cake has a baby jesus hidden in it.

Looks like someone posted the Spoon lake thing on the PP board, but it's getting only a lukewarm reception.

I was just going to ask that AW. I'm thinking that we all think this spoon noodle is too obvious but that might only be because we do this all the time. The CW might have just wanted to send people to Hidden Falls with the word invisible. Away from Phalen

When I was in NYC, my son Ryan was sending me the clues. When I first heard "regal runt", what popped into my head was Little (runt) King (regal) which is the meaning of the name Ryan. I had him check where Ryan Ave/St is in St. Paul. In St. Paul it is only near Irving, where it will not be hidden. BUT there is a Ryan Ave in Maplewood NE of Phalen, SE of Keller near the area that is labelled Phalen-Keller Regional Park in my map.

I don't know if this is what the regal runt refers to, but thought I would share... it is just north of Sophia and her guys.
