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
(Transport / Railways) Also called spur track a railway branch line or siding
(Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Botany) a short or stunted branch of a tree
A lateral ridge projecting from a mountain or mountain range
An oblique reinforcing prop or stay of timber or masonry
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
1026 right now!Anagram= Unlink Arm riddle
 :grin:
and so does a bunch of others...it gets old...
If you got info to share "spill" it... help your own ...think about it this hunt is a mess and its going to get worse...
I'll try to start first....
remember when I talked about "code of morse" and "great escape" I thought it was a posssible spin on morse code using syabals
- if the word was 2 syabls
. if the word was 1...
well in that clue one of the lines spelled out "east"
all i know if if the crew doesn't work togethor now you will all complain later...this includes all members (imho)...
I agree i've gone my own way and pulled myself and others away as well...
I also noticed in the haunted places link that it says lots of murders and rapes have occured in Lilydale park. Maybe by murder and killin they actually meant murder and killin!
Looks like the area has been narrowed down.
Good luck to those out in the daylight. I heard the sun was to make an appearance today so hopefully that will help someone find it.
I am stuck at work.
May Coolerheads Prevail!
I have no more to say as I aced the place days ago and cannot add anything now that the clues are explicet to hiding place.
and agrees w/tmk about the scorched tree and the hollowed tree being a good clue 11 or 12. if it makes it through the day tonight (clue 27) will be crazy. i'll be diggering tree limbs on the ground today again.....see ya there!
I do think the 1 of 15 means to line up with 1 of the 15 silo thingies, maybe the first one on the left. Or line up with Bridge 15. Or some location where both line up?
But I have not been on site, so I don't know if that even puts a person in the right county, or makes any sense from what we think may be "line of sight" clues.
Posting this makes me wonder if the silos are actually numbered. I mean, if you went over there, would there be a number 1 on one of the silos? I'm guessing they have such a numbering system, in fact, my first full-time job was keeping track of warehousing info, including grains, I'd be very surprised if they don't.
I have, in the past, been PMed for sharing really good noodles and asked not to share that stuff so publicly. Funny thing is, usually 10 other people get it, and post it, within minutes. If it is that good that *I* get it, it is pretty obvious.
"I don't know of a marker relating specifically to a flood. I do know that there is a "geological marker" located on the east side of Shepard Road about a half mile south of the bridge. Also, most bridges have some kind of marking that shows clearances at various water levels. It is like a giant rule painted on the structure. I don't recall if this bridge has that given that it is a swing bridge."
Maybe check-out this geological marker for its numbers or description while roaming around at Lilydale on a mountain lion/cougar hunt.
Extend Drake to lilydale's Ramsey/Dakota county border.
park at the boat ramp lot and hike the trail away from pike (PICKEREL) northeast until the trail begins a sharp left turn to curve north.
I'm stuck in Fargo until at least tomorrow. Good Hunting!

Agreed with AW, don't mess with the snow. If it's buried just under the snow somewhere clue 12 it is. Downed trees/branches/anything need to be checked well. It takes a lot of time to do a downed tree but it's worth it, that's where they have been putting the treasure except last year with the stream.
if you dont want to hunt with someone or dont want to tell them then say so!! But on the same note if we are here to help out one another lets do THAT!!! other wise I think I will just start a Sub group and say the hell with it!! like The Camo Crew!!
but like them if you ask they WILL Tell and give you Ideas out in the park! I think we could have all been in a park alot sooner digging as a team then off not helping one another get to the right park and Increasing our chances of finding it!!
I have seen that there are alot of people that are not on here that I know have been on the boards and stuff but what ever! I dont care anymore!!
Good luck to all coolers that have dealt with my crap in the past and see you when I see you!!
