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

Don't ask me why I am so excited about that...
Irvine is Scottish. Gilfillan is Scottish. He was on like the first Saint Paul Waterboard or something.
Hill was from Canada and I can't find out the orgin of his name. He's the one that gave the money for Chair-O-Key.
Hhhuuummmm. If you break this clue down into three sentances and the first line is a sentance, then the second sentance is "As one who stood for hope much was built in the name of the kilt."
That gives things a much different meaning than I was getting when I combined the first two lines together.
So I'm looking for someone Scottish that like Gillette built a hospital or something. Some nice Scottish person that was looked at as giving hope...
What day are we on?
That does fit clue 5.
look sharp?
Rut-row. William Rush Marry'um was Scottish... He was a generous giver to the YMCA and St. Luke's Hospital.

<---------------------
night y'all
we got there right at 12:35, and it was a ghost-town.... nobody around at all.... we were there til like a half an hour ago....
we were supposed to meet people there.... and even checked all the other parking lots, but nobody ever showed up...
the torpedo, is a war memorial - "much was built in the name of the kilt" = built in the name of the killed
and fyi, the torpedo came from a ship, called the Swordfish... just something we found interesting
the fountain/wishing well isnt far from there....
I think they're just giving us bits and pieces of the park, like they have in the past..... to let us know that we're supposed to be at Como.... we havent been told where in the park yet....
what have we learned? be vague...
we cant pull a buncha stuff from one clue.... I see a lot of that stuff going on....
The basic concepts of the Tartan and wearing of the Kilt originated in Scottish and Irish Clans as early as the 10th century. The Philbeag, original Gaelic name, or Kilt features multi-colored stripes and checks. The patterns identify the Clan, Family or Regiment of the wearer. The Act of Union in 1707 temporarily united the Clans and factions opposed to the Act. The Tartan became a signet, nationalism and the ruling class saw it as the "uniform of rebels". This united the Scottish Highlands and Lowlands for wearing of the Tartan.
After 1715 the Government brought strict policing to the Highlands and Lowlands. Independent companies were formed. A large number of Highland gentlemen enlisted to serve. They brought with them their personal servants to attend them. These independent regiments became known as the Black Watch referring to darkly colored Tartans they wore.
A famous tale of a Highland company is told of the curiosity of King George V who hadn't seen a Highland soldier before. Three handsome privates were sent to London to be presented to the King. The King was so impressed with the skill shown wielding their Claymores and Lochaber Axes that he presented each of them with a guinea. Nothing could be more insulting to a Highland gentleman, but they could not refuse the gift. Instead they accepted it, and as they left, they flipped it the porter when they passed the palace gates.
In 1740, these independent companies became a formal Regiment. They developed and entirely new Tartan known as the Black Watch Tartan.
During the l800's the wearing of the Belted Plaid began to be exchanged for that of a Kilt. The Belted Plaid as a one piece six-yard long cloth belted at the waist with the remainder thrown over the shoulder. This style was beginning to be inconvenient. The new design became a Kilt with traditional pleats sewn in place, and the lower and upper section cut so it could be worn together or removed.
A law as passed in 1746 making it illegal for Highlanders to own or possess arms. In 1747 the Dress Act restricted the wearing of any form Plaid, Philbeag, Belted Plaid, Shoulder Belt or Kilt in public. Punishment for first offense was a six month imprisonment, second offense earned the wearer a seven year exile to an overseas work farm. The Bagpipes were also outlawed, considered an instrument of war. Only individuals in the Army were permitted to wear the Plaid. Consequently, many Highlanders enlisted enabling them to wear their more comfortable, traditional clothing.
The Dress Act was repealed in 1783, but it had succeeded in changing Highland Society. Many of the traditions and customs had been lost forever, wearing the Kilt was no longer considered a way of life for Scottish Highlanders.
With the growing feeling of Nationalism in Scotland, the Kilt is being worn more often than in the last 100 years. Many Scotsmen are rediscovering their roots and beginning to show great interest in reviving some of the old traditions and customs of the Highlanders. The Tartan Kilt is probably the most World-wide identifiable garment worn by any one group of individuals.
I'm outtie you guys. Have sumbuddy do the coffee and juices and all that, woodja?
