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
I was going to donate money to your recently lost member's husband, but my Mom had a massive stroke on Christmas Eve and all $$$ have to go there.
I've read your threads, and if I knew the area, I'd be noodling! I love snow and ice (because we don't get much of it!!!)
We are headed to Yarusso right now. be there in 15 min.
thoughts and prayers help too.
sorry about your mom. same thoughts and prayers coming your way.
hey, the snow tasted good out in the park today. Better than water sometimes. mmmmmmmm.
Becksies sister is here today - just got here from Texas!! Staying through the hunt.
goodluck in the card game
I just cant make it!! with as much sleep as I have had! I cant chance falling asleep behind the wheel!! I will fight to stay up tell clue but dont think I will make that eather!!
 :asleep: :asleep:
You or your avatar should park your car
On your way to this great escape. ***
Don't know your parks, but here in Texas we have pull-offs on what we call "access" or "feeder" roads, that leave the main road, where the roads are dotted and dashed, to lead to you the place to pull off, park your car, and view the scenery, And then, in some places, there are walking trails.
I know it sounds stupid, but I had to try just ONE NOODLE! :smile:
--KK--
word to the wise - HF is dark, at night. Dont leave your flashlight in the car, like I did....
Whoops!
Am waitng for my boss to send me revisions to my work, and thought I'd noodle.
I appreciate that nice comment. And I promise to keep my language clean (here at least!)
Now my boss is calling. CRAP.
I didn't get a chance to read the posts from today clue, but for some reason Arcade as a street reference came to me. The dotted lines reminded me of PacMan, and Avatar a persons name in a Video Game.
I'm sure it means something else. I also came to the conclusion that in response to Alisons post that the avatars would not be a clue, where the PP listed who supplied them.
 :cool:
KOPPERS COKE
EPA ID# MND000819359
Last Updated: August, 2009
Site Description
The Koppers Coke (Koppers) site is approximately 38 acres and is located in St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota. Koppers Company operated a coking facility at the site from 1917 to 1979, producing foundry coke and various byproducts such as coal tars and coal tar distillates. The company demolished all standing structures and removed storage tanks in 1981. The site was acquired in 1981 by the Port Authority for the St. Paul Energy Park. Office and light industrial buildings now occupy the site. Approximately 15,400 residents live within one mile of the site. The nearest residence is 100 feet away, and Como Park, a recreational facility, is three-quarters mile from the site.
Anyone know where the old Hamm Brewery was?
Sorry about your Mom. Prayers and good thoughts heading your way.
About an hour ago we thought about doing Yarusso's tonight for some apps, but got involved in other things here and so there went that thought. I hope we make it there tomorrow evening.
That Koppers Coke place stunk. We always accused my dad of letting one fly when we passed it along Lexington.
ok on my way to work to wait for the 5th clue and its my last night of work hopefully for the rest of the hunt...as long as it doesn't go to clue 12. clue 12 isn't a hunt its a massacre anyways. See y'all in a bit. Hope everyone is having a good time downtown tonight I'll be joining you tomorrow :wink:
Code by Morse. COde mo(u)RSE.
Your Avatar would be your PAR in golfing. Spelling isn't all there, but it sounds a like.
Botted lines could be Cross Country Sking at the Park.
The Global Harmony Labyrinth, Como Park?
Lots of concrete.
"We used our stencil technology, in which we mask off everything except the pattern, and then shoot it with polymer concrete. The lines, therefore, are concrete, not paint or stain, giving it much more durability, long life, and low maintenance.
The location is in Como Park, across the street from the Pavilion and within sight of the pedestrian bridge, not far from the beautiful glass conservatory. We faced a number of problems on this job, all of which we overcame beautifully. It really made me see our value as experienced labyrinth artists. Few people in the entire world could have done what we did."

Even if the Med isn't in Como Park, I am sure learning a lot more about it. I may want to visit this Labyrinth. Interesting.
If it's at Como, good luck to the digger's lottery winner. If it's along Como Ave, a little early to give away a small park-we'll all badmouth the writer a week from now.
BUT if we read the clue wrong...The best dashes and dots noodle I heard was the county line. I've got my own theory, and I'm looking forward to tonight's tidbit hoping a street will be given-seems it's time for that or the meaningless "what it's in" clue.
