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
River Mile 839.50 — On the Water.
Note the double bridges going to it. Do they connect to Harriet, then? Never been on Raspberry.
Mystic Caverns was a cave gambling joint, dance hall, and speakeasy tavern from 1933 to 1934. Mystic Caverns had a polished wooden dance floor, a monstrous chandelier, kitchen, and tables with white table-cloths. The entrance of this cave is now obliterated.
The caves in this area used as night clubs included Mystic Cavern, Castle Royal, and The Cave.
Please get into line where you are supposed to. I left Yarusso's last night before many of you did and couldn't believe how many of you managed to get in line ahead of me! It's not like you didn't just see each other at the bar (and are going to see each other in the lobby). There were a bunch of you talking to CM and Me2 (that left Yarusso's after I did); I saw you just walk up to them, talk, but never leave! (except Iceman, who went back to his place in line once the doors opened) If it rubs another Cooler the wrong way, how do you think the non-Coolers in line feel about it? It gives us a bad reputation and is disrespectful to anyone who was there before you arrived...please stop!
That being said, I don't think it matters as much on the early clues. My opinionation (to quote LAmommy) is that clues 10 and up are the only ones that line placement could effect the outcome. Maybe that's folks reasoning? Not really bad intentions...
Either way, I will be more cognizant of this, thanks for stepping up :grin:
Now if they were only right...
:wink:
Eags, I read it as you need only see one of the 15. Because they say one of 15.
Perhaps these two 15s are the twins?
I agree!
I still think from the clues so far the 'Twins' reference is your best bet for a precise location - since 'Mother' blessed us with twins, I'd have to say it would be a NATURAL thing - like two trees or bushes side by side that are nearly identical. It's nearby.
--The twin transmission power line towers would be an obvious non-natural target. The two towers next to the wooden-rail fence parking area are RIGHT on the county line - 'Chargin' to the Margin'?
glean = angel
I thought it might have something to do with the "nun" that read the clues in the video, but don't know how it relates to any of the regional parks.
Take a westerly tack up from the stack,
A landmark
most uncouth.
And this to mean the 15 silo thingys -
Figures grand in scale point to a trail
Of footprints left by our sleuth.
Then they point at the railroad tracks (footprints) and you are now on the opposite side of the river as Cherokee/HI
right?
Could be so detailed down to a spific type of tree.
Horny Nuns, Male Blow-Up Dolls, One-armed Whores, Pirate Puppets, Irate Columnists, how LOW can they get? What DEPTHS will they SINK to next?!?!?! :wink:
Bascailly what I mean is, if there were no videos, I think our clue prdictions would be different.
I can't find a list...
Someone please find this thing... soon!

Granted == Crosby Farm Regional Park is leased from the Port Authority.
Spent sometime this morning talking clues with my eldest kid and his wife. That was fun.
Then I decided to stay away from this board for awhile and really do noodling with no distractions. From there we did some scouting.
It has always been my contention that one needs to pay attention to what is not mentioned in the clues as well as what is mentioned.
No clues about picnics, playgrounds, shelters. No "it's in a park" clue - only public land in Ramsey County. Not that parks aren't public land, but no other mention of park except related to parking the car and walk.
I believe that at least a real possibility is the Samuel H. Morgan Regional Trail. That trail runs from about Crosby/HF to downtown. At Shepard Rd. and Randolph is a gateway sign identifying the trail. Landmark brewery is very visible from there as is the one place that was going to be converted to condos but now sits vacant with the LIVE HERE sign in the window areas. There were people down and around there obviously hunting...but not in any one particular spot.
Other places we saw hunters: at sculpture park on Marion St.(lots of seams there), Upper Landing (cool place, will need to go back there in the summer), and Como.
