13th Annual Rehash Bash and Other End of the Winter Carnival Festivities
Sunday, January 31, 2010
Newell Park Pavilion
900 N. Fairview Ave.
Saint Paul, MN 55104
11:30am-2:30pm
The 13th Annual Rehash Bash will be held on Sunday, January 31, 2010, at Newell Park, from 11:30am to 2:30pm. As always, its a potluck, and since we\'ve got the building, there will be plenty of power indoors for crock pots. Donations will be accepted to cover the $136 cost for renting the facility. MrMnMikey has some door prizes available. Since this isn\'t Super Bowl Sunday this year, if people want to stick around past the 2:30 closing time, we can start a fire in one of the fire rings.
In addition, many of us long-time Coolerheads are loyal servants of Vulcanus Rex. Join us for the Vulcan Victory Torchlight Parade, followed by the Vulcan Victory Dance. Information on the Parade Route is from the 2006 Vulcan Krewe. The best places for viewing the parade are going to be at the end of the parade route, as His Majesty, Vulcanus Rex LXXIII, the true King of the Winter Carnival, overthrows that other guy on the steps of the St. Paul Central Library, across from Rice Park

When January’s slanting snow,
Makes us dream of Mexico
St. Paul emerges from Wintery sleep
To search for treasure buried deep
Notice to every hunting battalion,
We have hidden the Pioneer Press Medallion
Where? You ask in husky shout,
That’s for us to know, and you to find out
Turn off the tube, leave your hovel
Grab your walking stick and shovel,
Whether you be giant or runt,
The only way is to join the hunt
For to the hunter belongs the spoil,
Hunt by day, or Midnight oil,
Hunt in boot and sturdy glove,
Hunt with pal, or old true love
For you who hunt each and every year,
We raise a lusty St. Paul cheer
“Good Luck”
And now, let us be blunt,
Get off thy duff, and hunt, hunt, hunt

All hail, O Fire King, of thee we sing
Thy blast of winter heat scorches
When ice was like concrete it would\'ve been so sweet
If the Vulcans plowed with their torches
Emerge from the den as we once again
Offer a bodacious bounty
And this tip to the frozen: bring thick lederhosen
To public land in Ramsey County
Clue #1 Video
Hear ye all crews, now come the clues
For this task I am the Czar
With each rhyming gift, this shape I will shift
Listen well to each avatar
Kissed by a Vulcan, she left him sulkin\'
\"Sir Soot, I\'ll not forgive these sins!\"
Her airs Elizabethan, her language, bleepin\' heathen,
Our mother once blessed us with twins.
Look high, look low, wherever you go
Follow a picturesque route
There are ways to travel away from the gravel
That keep you in hot pursuit
Code by Morse should set your course
To long dashes that dot the landscape.
You or your avatar should park your car
On your way to this great escape.
Take a westerly tack up from the stack,
A landmark most uncouth.
Figures grand in scale point to a trail
Of footprints left by our sleuth.
You\'ll want to go shopping where things are hopping
And storeowners once dropped anchor
Go down the main drag, but be sure not to lag,
You\'ll have plenty for which to thank her
Escape your troubles where the water bubbles
Or gurgles like a stream.
You may be chargin\' right up to the margin.
Look for a productive seam.
Down on the delta where there\'s no ice to melta
The purple horde raids a golden legion
Today before kick off the prize you\'ll pick off
If you search in just the right region
To find the seed, energy you need
In search for your clues to glean
What once was planted is taken for granted
Stored in one of fifteen
Not far from stones and ancient bones
Lay clues that are fit for Jim
Lure the egrets to yield all secrets
And you should satisfy him
Get your kicks by hitting the bricks
Admiring the trees and view
Be ever glad hopping pad to pad
Like amphibians in\'52
Stonehenge tumbled down near a crumbled town
Not far from the lights of the city
If you would hike away from the pike
You might stumble on something pretty
Upstream from the landing lay a place in good standing
Where people prayed, God willin\'
Now midst the cocklebur and rusted spur
Is nothing by murder and killin\'
This park is a sliver, from ancient beds to a river
In neither is the prize to be found
Look for the goods among timber and woods
Do not dig in the fossil ground
Go for a lark in Lilydale Park
Between Water Street and the river
The city boundary sign and the old rail line
Define the zone that will deliver
You\'re outside the pale if you\'re close to the rail
It\'s not to be found near the tracks
Be nice and cooperative, respect private property
On public land launch your attacks
Within this area lies medallion hysteria
A tangle near the river - not too close!
About four dozen paces from the waterline to places
Where you should tromp, dig and freeze your nose
Um, anyone got a baggie?

Anyone got a better link for the 1st one?
POST 1500
I'm thinking the 25th, 26th, and 27th.
What is everyone else doing?
I'm working the theory that maybe with the extra snow it could be hidden at one of the doomed rec centers to draw attention to the situation.
I also would love it if they would expand the search area to include northern Dakota county to include Lillydale, Mendota, SSP, and WSP. They could have I-494 as the boundary.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I posted this in the other 2010 thread, but I want to make sure it gets read. Like it or not, I've got every right to speak my mind.
Just had an interesting hour and a half. I was reading the "Invitational Thread" from the PF on the Cooler Crew website. There are a few points I'd like to make.
1. Tim, Brad, Jana, Jesse, Steve, Mikey (Anyone else i've missed you know who you are) = True Friends, never really said a bad word.
3. Terry V = Was mean, but it was warranted, and she was never afraid to say it to my face, which is why I have nothing but the utmost respect for her.
4. Liquor Lady = Your husband didn't like me from day one because I asked him "Do you know who I am?", did either of you ever stop and think that maybe I asked that in a polite way as in "If you don't know who I am, let me introduce myself."? Things taken out of context are a result of a lack of thought, try to remember that.
5. Trashing me for not taking pictures for Trent in 2004 = I'm not gonna go there.
6. Marley King = Where did you disappear to after Hunt 1, 2007?
8. Green = When you and Terry were calling me an alcoholic, who were you REALLY talking about??? I seem to be doing pretty well for having chemical dependancy issues, don't you think? By the way, where have YOU been?
9. TMK = Well, this one would take up 100 pages...
10. Lastly, I have to chuckle about how everyone did a complete 180 on January 23rd, 2007, and claimed I was "one of you".
Enough said.
Thanks for including me.
Plenty of snow this year.
My sister (Kanooty) and I keep calling each other with theories, game plans, top 3 choices, etc.
I don't want to do too much research, scouting before the hunt, otherwise I'll get burned out. I save that for the first 5 days since the clues are pretty vague anyway. But I do like to go over past clues and explantion to get my noodling skills warmed up.

It's a completely 'naked' board - no messages at all (save for Jake calling 1st Joe). Gotta re-register your avatars. Last one I believe was purged because it was a SPAM museum. Funny thing is, there's SPAM in there already!
Jake-
We're all sort of over internet fighting. It already sort of ran it's course.
Some of the people you are mad at are gone on their own, problem solved. Some others you don't care about at all, great! If someone you care about did something to piss you off, call them like you did with me and figure it out.
Save that energy for something more important like reminding us that you found the medallion.
