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

First Video - The Deed is Done 

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
Clue #1 

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
Clue #2 

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.
Clue #3 

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
Clue #4 

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.
Clue #5 

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.
Clue #6 

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
Clue #7 

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.
Clue #8 

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
Clue #9 

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
Clue #10 

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
Clue #11 

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

Or...park your car in view of the dashes (dot?) on your way IN to the main part of the park?

Watching the video clue, I was going to post that it was definitely Soucheray's hair and voice, and then he took off the mask. lol

Victoria Street near Como South Zone would tie in with the Elizabethan theme.

Gravel, paths with dashes. It's interesting that the clue writer seems to be giving us things to look for that you can't easily research online or in the Treasure Hunter's Guide. You have to actually go and scout out the parks.

Soucheray probably only gave them one take and stormed off - no way we'll see a 'revised' version of this video...

Check out my 'Clues and Nothing But the Clues' thread on the newer PP board - I add video notes to the clue itself... then lock it so it's not full of garbage replies - basically Joe Soucheray walks in front of the camera with some sort of duck/clown mask on, no voice disguise whatsoever. He makes it through the 2nd line before he gets incredulous, whips off the mask and stammers through the rest of the clue complaining about the whole thing... then storms off with a curse word or two blocked out of audio...

A figure walks out wearing a clown mask and starts reciting the clue. Then Joe pulls off the mask, tosses it to the floor, and complains about how stupid the clues are, he's been telling us this for 100 years he has nothing to do with it, and we're all going to be out freezing our butts off and he glares at the camera and walks off. Paraphrasing.

The thing that seems to set Joe off, and the point at which he takes off the mask is at the word "avatar".

[The material below is from a training manual used by U.S. Navy enlisted personnel studying for advancement to the rates of Radioman 3rd Class and Radioman 2nd Class (E4 and E5, respectively). This edition, dated 1967, was still around in the early 1970s when I used it. While it may provide a nostalgic look back for former Navy radio operators, much of the material on technique may still be useful for today's beginning amateur radio operators. Enjoy!

Does anyone else other than Navy use the code?

The clues do follow current events: ie last year Sarah Palin and the RNC; this year its focused on Avatar, although I would think the clues were written ahead of the movie....

I noticed this is the second time they've given us the Avatar reference...computer jargon or something to do with the new movie??

Here's all of what Joe says while he's reading the clue - if anyone wants to check it for accuracy, that'd be cool. My eyes are about done for the night:

"Code by Morse should set your course

To long dashes that dot the landscape

You or your avatar should (takes off mask)

avatar!

what?

you or your advatar?

av

you or your avatar should park your car?

on your way to this great escape?

I've been telling you people for a hundred years I have nothing to do with this.

These are outrageously poor clues.

My heart goes out to you people.

Your going to go out and freeze to death trying to understand..."

It almost looks like he said or came close to saying the F bomb again and maybe the video looks edited at that point, before Joe walks off screen.

Como has that U.S. Submarine Veterans of WWII monument (Trolley Zone). The Minnesota Viking Squadron, the memorial is to the men of the USS Swordfish SS193.

Viking Squadron: Viking in Video?

But where is the Favre reference!!

Trolley Zone also has the Historic Streetcar station and location of trolley tracks under two bridges. Homes are in there, maybe ck their addresses if wander over there. Green Pergola in this section. Found in 1990 here near a huge cottonwood tree.

Thanks to Map Guy.
