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

"county" definition:
regional related and ......
Originally, in continental Europe, a county (comté, Grafschaft) was the land under the jurisdiction of a count (comte, Graf).
Counts are called earls
earl st by phalen
You have to pull the handle...
A+ on cross country!!!
we have the book at my work for around $22 I think.
but you can probably get it cheaper on amazon
"Get up for the mission" keeps sending me to The Launching Pad for more research....
Jake was right all along!! :smile:
#1: near a golf course
#2: the key to the clue is "Gal who is wise", so it could be Harriet Bishop, Hellen Keller, Hazel, Athena, Minerva, Sophia, Ma Barker
#3: the medallion is not hidden in anything, and is out in the open
#4: sled hill, games, play ground, ball fields
This leads me to Keller or Goodrich, Possibly Como, oh and I suppose Phalen.
Well that narrows it down.
In my usual wild goose chase fashion, I'm always looking for the
unexpected, unknown location or park. That idea that if I can zero in
on some arcane spot that fits perfectly, I merely have to drive out
and pluck the thing from it's hiding spot...like the year it was
found on the unfinished I35E overpass bridge.
Thinking about "see how far we will go", while first impression was a
sliding hill (and one of the hills in Keller right by the archery and
Hwy 61 was a big sliding hill back inthe day..if I recall), it still
could mean that it is far up north in the County.
For what it's worth, there is a Mission House Lane that parallels a
Seminary in New Brighton. It also buts right into a "Driftwood Park"
(google-able)......"Get up for the mission..."
You mention Kohlman Lake. When I was a kid that lake was owned by the
Kohlman family. Mr. Kohlman lived onthe property and rented boats on
Gervais. The whole area around that lake is swampy most of the way
to U.S. 61 esp where the KSTP tower is. I wonder if the lake is still
private. The map show no green but a little square of green on the
So. side of Co. Rd C is Kohlman park.
KITCH!! we had brass rail chicken tonight :grin: best chicken i ever had, I'll never buy KFC again!!
How far will we go? (Sledding hill that culminates at one of the bases of a baseball field as in how far will we go (which base?))
Is there still a baseball diamond on the corner of Annapolis and Chippewa? If so, the sledding hill ends in the baseball field.
Hmmmm...that even makes the Viagra references work (up for the mission) so that would make it home plate, right?

Went digging in Kellar today, pretty cold and the snow was 8 inches of crusty ice/snow.
ran into a park ranger, who wanted to know what I was doing... he said I "looked like one of them medallion hunters"....
we talked for about a half an hour... he was really into the clues, but had never hunted.... also said that he was working out there, during the 2001, and 2003 hunts....
and was VERY adament about the fact that the puck aint at Harriet....
he was saying that they have some kind of pipework going on, and other construcion, or whatever - and that they have orders to kick anybody out of the park, who looks to be medallion hunting....
- also said that the park service sent an e-mail to the PP, urging them to put something in the paper, as soon as tomorrow, telling us hunters that its not there....
I brought up Central last year, and how the Roseville City Council swore that it wasnt there... which shut him up for about a minute..... and then he goes "well... if its down there, we're in for a fun time, come clues 11 and 12"
