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

They're trying to be cute. Nothing more. That was apparent when they had Soucheray do yesterday's.

If anything, they're serving to throw in more confusion.

When you take a westerly tack up from the stack does it lead you to the landmark uncouth or is the stack the land mark uncouth?

I'm not even sure if that park is still there. They recently redid 36 and there is now a bridge and exit ramp to Margret where that park was.

Could the figures grand be street names of really important people pointing to a park or a point in the park?

The video prior to clue the clue one video does say to listen closely to each avatar maybe the "mistakes" aren't truely mistakes they are the extra clues?

Is it in a park, for sure? Could it be along a trail, one you have to leave (park) your car to use?

There is the Schmidt Brewery stack - Landmark? Hmmmmmmmmm

West of that would be Highland.

I asked that question up above, Terry. No one seemed very interested. lol

Thanks for sharing that video. I always thought of that smokestack as a landmark but, honestly, I didn't even know it was gone. Life on the road...I notice changes more in the cities I visit than in the place I call home. Not so sure that's a good thing...

Did anyone look at that link I posted a bit back with the two stacks? Still trying to figure out what the stack in the background is.

I said that Right away and no one eavn looked at it I think!! so you me and OT are in the dark!

Maybe I missed that. At least it's a landmark of an unusual kind.

I've confused myself enough for one night.

Better get some sleep so I don't fall asleep at my desk tomorrow.

Goodnight and SCDs!

Isn't the brewery up river from the High Bridge?

That's why it is a good idea to repeat good noodles on here. Sometimes people are slogging so fast they miss things. And I know there are times I'd swear that posts appear that I didn't see before, like they are out of order from how I first saw them.

Night Terry. I'm getting confused now too.

he says pictures, not figures. which makes me wonder if its a mural we shoud be looking for.

was there a mistake in the first clue? I don't seem to remember one.

Here I am, still stuck along the river... Didn't they blow up a stack down there last year. Think some cooler crew even shot video of it...

Except the clue written out right under the video says Figures

Curious - why the new video? I know you posted a link earlier. Did it change?
Wed, 01/20/2010 - 10:42 PM Permalink

I think the written clue would be correct, rather than what the actor (and I use that term loosely!) says in the video.

I looked, it's the same video.

Okay. Just wanted to be sure I wasn't alone in my sleepy confusion.

Turning this thing off now.

number ONE...

KC0GRN

I guess if you go with the mistake theory in the video clues, most of the mistakes are things falling down.

Clue 1, his animal skin wrap falls down

Clue 2, her arm falls off, or down.

Clue 3, his walking stick falls down

Clue 4, Soucheray.. nothing much to say on that one.

Clue 5, the sheet falls down.

They changed words in Clue 3 and 5

I'm starting to like Hidden Falls... I liked Nick's noodle of the dashes and dots meaning the power lines with the balls.
