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

What's 1290 Arcade St?

Wayzata Park has fallen into disrepair. Can this park be added to the maintenance list for immediate attention? (Helgen)

The response below was prepared with input from Parks and Recreation and Public Works:

"Wayzata Park" is an area of public street right of way located along Wayzata Street right of way extended easterly between

Abermarle and the n-s alley between Abermarle and Rice Street and portions of Abermarle right of way extending south. Within

this right of way, there is a east -west alley, east-west side walk, north-south sidewalk, bushes,a wishing well,grass, and an

"Wayzata Park" sign. It is Public Works property, and therefore, is not included in the maintenance plan for Parks and

Recreation.

Public Works currently mows the grass in Wayzata Park and shovels the sidewalk. Since there is a public sidewalk in the right

of way, Public Works recently agreed to and proceeded to install a light to light the sidewalk area. Apparently Parks installed the

sign about ten years ago at the request of the community. The bushes and wishing well apparently were installed by the

community at some point in time. It is Public WorksÂ’ understanding that the bushes were maintained by an adjoining resident,

who has since passed away. The bushes, and mulch around the bushes, could use some maintenance. Public Works is willing to

work with Parks on this issue. If the responsibility for the maintenance is transferred to Parks and Recreation, they request that

resources to do so are provided.

It's like the clue writer is pointing us to Phalen. Lake Gervais is by county road C and then going south eastward it goes Spoon Lake Keller Lake and next stop, Phalen.

not a stretch, my mom and I were just discussing that.

im with you as a possibility

Love4Vino

maybe it's the california - everyone sues everyone mindset that I have.. (for instance there is no way in H E double hockey sticks) that a park and rec department would even consider for a brief second, flooding a parking lot to make an ice rink for kids to skate on.

no way - jose.

but - if *I* was in charge of a park department, and knew there were upteen hundred people that would be trouncing though MY areas of responsiblity during the middle of winter - I'd make sure the lots were plowed -just cause 1) I wouldn't want the yahoo's parking somewhere illegally that would cause more problems 2) having something happen that later could put my job in jeapordy cause the idiot sued.

just my 2 cents - i don't think plowing/not plowing can be an indication in this world today.

I was thinking similar, any parks that rhyme with "ought" that we should go see?

I did set the alarm - and then slept through it and woke up as the radio was going off after an hour. UGH!

And this clue when not really yet awake - Ugh! Ugh!

It was good while it lasted. Now I'm looking at this clue and wondering if I should try to make sense of it or go back to bed.

Everytime you do something that interacts with the server, you move to the top of the list, which is why you always see yourself at the top of the list. Over time you move down the list as other people have more recent hits than you. And if you haven't hit the server at all in maybe 10 minutes or whatever it is set at, you drop off the list completely. The site doesn't know what you're doing on your computer. It only knows when you interact with the server.

When one thinks of fun in the snow - sledding, skiing, snowboarding. Fits with the how far can we go.

The mission made me think of the Union Gospel Mission when I first read it.

Arcade could fit the games - but how many arcade games are free?
