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
My guess is, it has to be either 1 2 3 4 or 5
It has to be in that area with the Omaha being number 15 and one of the original 15 bridges to cross the Mississippi and across from those grain bins.
Just narrowing it down is tough.
John has a great blog on bridges. This link has some details on the Omaha bridge 15 and some great photos. The Omaha's concrete slab has lettering on it:
C.St.P.M.&O. Ry and the C.M.&St.P. Ry. The C.St.P.M.&O
Link to Weeks' info on Omaha 15:
http://www.johnweeks.com/bridges/pages/r04.html
He said they used to skinny dip in Pickerel. No one in his group could afford swim suits. They used to moon the trains when they went across.
He always mentioned the bridge they went out on was right near Pickerel Lake.
Regional Parks:
St. Paul------ 8
Ramsey County--6
=================
14 (unless there are 9 St. Paul Regional Parks, then it's 15 total)
Total number of Ramsey County Parks = 15
Hmmmmmmmmm? 1 0f 15?
When you drive into L there is a sign that lists all 15 regional parks. Number 15? Harriet.

(44.933369,-93.115439"44.933369.-93.115439" is not a number. )
Catherine Pastik, widow of James Pastik, had this house built in 1891.
History
Catherine Pastik and her daughter, Annie, were the first occupants of 360 Emma Street. At one time many Czechs who worked as tailors and shoemakers lived on Emma Street, close to the CSPS Hall. According to the census records for 1900, 1910, and 1920, the Dolezal family lived here, while Frank Dalezal worked as a tailor.
"Sister Cities" are a big deal to city halls.
by exchanges of official gifts and delegations on important occasions.
These have enriched the cultural heritage of both cities, and have led
to the commissioning of the Paul Granlund sculpture Constellation
for the Nagasaki Peace Park in 1992, and master potter Richard Bresnahanï 1997
Global Harmony Platters.
I think Como has things to Nagasaki as well.
The best find of the day was a six pack of natural ice beer buried in the snow...
Just last week I wrote a blog post about the 2003 Como hunt, one of the most exciting/surreal nights of my life. I'm a little reluctant to share, as I don't remember what exactly was said the two times I wrote about witnessing the puck being found and took liberties with paraphrasing/ad libbing, but I assure everything is written as close to what I remember as possible.
SO, if you're interested in reliving the fun of the last clue of 2003 or are new to the hunt and have yet to partake in the final night of craziness. I give you my post...

Here's to hoping we're all holding our breath in a park in the middle of the night again.. Maybe I'll even be brave enough to say hi to someone with a cooler crew button.
I was there as well. With my older son who had pick-up truck. The funnest night. We still talk about it. We were at Harriet then raced to Como. All those headlamps in the woods like aliens.
Definately come say hi to me, girl! I would love to meet you :litesmile:
