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
Singin' in the Rain. 1952 movie. Trying to get a street name from one of the characters, but nothing's hitting me.

Now, to find my wind/water proof pants.
thats what he reminded me of, an ole gold miner.
thats what Im afraid of. we spent alot of time at lilydale last year, before getting to SH, and in 2003 we were at harriet til 10 before they sent us to como. I can still fit everything at como, so I have a hard time going somewhere else thinking they might throw us back to como in the end.
its so slippery out there..
A friend and I went to the caves in Lilydale once in the winter, decided to take the shortcut and climb up the bluff to get home (I lived near Annapolis and Cherokee). It took us about 3 hours to get up that bluff in the snow and ice. Might be quick going down that hill today, but a long way back to your car!

Not meant to be worn indoors, could scratch floors or snag carpet.
But super quick and easy to get on and off your shoes or boots.
I wear them hiking the hills here in the winter.
It really is a beautiful park, with the frozen falls and all.
you need to go to down vento trail (south end of cherokee) just off annnapolis.....the path is not that bad in the summertime but its getting icey now...
I like the new avatar, btw, Eags. It's so you!
If it is too icy, and you are stuck home anyways, we should be featured on some lil snippets on FSN for Hockey Day today. We are going to be at our Public Affairs Office for a viewing of the game, and I was told that you may be able to see us too, maybe they will talk with us - who knows...
Of course, the hunt takes priority - but if you are stuck inside.... :grin:
Leads to the Ford Plant (long dashes are spurs at the plant).
Hidden Falls north margin yields a view of lock and Dam #1 where the water bubbles and gurgles. The dam could be the "productive seam" -- hydro-electric plant.
storeowners anchor could be the Donaldsons; Daytons; Fields; Macys et al where the bookstore now stands on ford parkway.
Figures grand in scale could be the power distribution towers that cross the river and then parallel the trail until exiting the south end of HF by the bridge.
Samuel H. Morgan was born in Duluth, Minnesota, on February 21st, 1911. He graduated from Harvard Law in 1936 and was admitted to the Minnesota Bar in the same year. He was a partner at the firm Briggs and Morgan, where he practiced law, focusing on conservation.
Morgan served as chairman of the Minnesota Council of State Parks from 1966-1970 and in 1967 he helped organize the Minnesota Parks Foundation. Morgan was instrumental in the establishment of Afton State Park, the formation of Lilydale Park and the formation of Fort Snelling State Park. He was also influential in a major addition to William O'Brien State Park, an addition to Lake Bemidji State Park, and the acquisition of the Fredrick Manfred house at Blue Mounds State Park. He died on October 17, 2000, in St Paul.
--Crosby sang it but definitely didn't write it... I don't think that's him singing in the video clue tho.
This year is the first year I've taken them out to truely dig...they dig abuot as well as they clean their room. :confused: There were a bunch of concrete blocks piled up near the river down by the Train Bridge I told them to dig up the snow and look around all of them I gave them each their own pile two seconds later they were like ok done..I'm like two swipes of the snow is not diggin' it up...They need some serious training.
this is the new hunt! we have to deal with it the are 4 clues now and they start on the 8th clue and go from there why over Noodle the clues when you dont have to!! ROB and jake made sure they wont have a fast hunt ever again!!
Use to be a family outing. Lilydale wouldn't be fun for younger kids like hunts awhile ago in parks.
But I still think the county line plays an important role in it... even tho the whole park is considered a "Saint Paul park" a big portion of it is not in Ramsey county, so it would have to be hidden in the Ramsey county portion...
if not, that would completely defeat the purpose of the rules of the hunt, and of clue 1.
Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo...
I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin',
Singin' in the rain
Dancin' in the rain
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
I'm happy again!
I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain!
I'm dancin' and singin' in the rain...
[ADDITIONAL VERSE]
Why am I smiling
And why do I sing?
Why does September
Seem sunny as spring?
Why do I get up
Each morning and start?
Happy and head up
With joy in my heart
Why is each new task
A trifle to do?
Because I am living
A life full of you.
