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

Getting back to the 3M noodle, it was just announced a couple of weeks ago that the oldest building of 3M would close and be sold, so after that 3M will no longer reside withing St. Paul city limits, Mostly Maplewood and else where.

The oldest section is right off of Arcade and 7th St.E. -- closest park is Swede Hollow but it's about 5 blocks.

I wish the hardcore hunters would let me into their gang, so I could gain some fresh perspective from real hunting professionals...

Im sure that Fred and company already have the medallion in their hands, and are just waiting til clue 12 to turn it in...

I tried to join again, but he denied me access....

I'm about 135 messages behind so I dont' know if this has been posted yet or not, but Saint Hope was one of the daughters of Saint Sophia. I don't know if that helps, but it's interesting.

Inasuitcase- I am here from time to time, but as people have said I am living up north now so I'm not as involved with the hunt. This is also the busy time for my job now, so that is taking away time to noodle things. I haven't had any really good thoughts, and what I have had I have posted.

Lord Faurquar got made at the clue from the Mirror and was gonna smash it...

Ferrets nobuddy came up with the guy wires idea because we were waiting for you! VERY good thought!
Fri, 01/25/2008 - 6:37 AM Permalink
KITCH

no..its not...

the red star is...

the black star is "capitol of st. paul location on all maps"

if you use google maps and put in just "st. paul, mn"...that location is a green arrow..

same thing on "live maps" etc..

btw..that exact spot is the middle of the street on st. peter and kellogg.

So, have we aced what #5 means? Seems to me with #6 #5 is now not the great leap Clue of 2003 or is it still and I'm just not getting the connection? Do we need to revist which Clue Joe was honked off at inorder to figure out #6?

Because ittiz always TRUE.

You are such a shyster, Mappy Gooey. You prolly got - or maybe sold to - those of kilt fame who have built so much, your invizabubble disappearing poof in the off year book-thighy.

Because I'm the sucker you always sucker me with the ONE BOOK each year that's gonna poof in the closet like in July/August.

Woe is me. :sad:

Cry me a river! I don't know why Mrs. Mapy Gooey doesn't like the Hunt! In 10 years I've paid for Hunter's first semester in a community college!
