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

Are there many people going out to the bars tonight (Yarusso's or Burger Bar) or is everyone heading to the park before and/or after the clue?

I am going to set my alarm on my phone to get up for this call. I get up at 0500 daily (yes, I am a VETERAN -- US Army for 3 years, 79-82). However, getting older means getting up earlier isn't as easy. So...I'm going to catch a nap while you guys eat at Yarussos (which sounds fabulous) and noodle some more.

I only want to listen.

And thank you for the Warm Cooler welcome. (I think that's an oxymoron.)

Did you get my IM, lilslim?

I held a place for you, and would have let you in front of me had someone else showed up before you did. What I meant when I said that was that it was awesome that we were first and second in line. I could care less about the order. I haven't had a chance to read all 450 posts since the last time I was on here, but I can guess what has been said. What happened is that Reggie and I had a bit of a heated discussion with Steph (Lilslim) regarding the logistics of the conference call. At that time Nicole (Reggie's and my friend) invited us to get the clue with her group, and we thought that it would best for us to do that both to let things cool off between us and anyone who might be mad at us, and so we didn't have to force all of you into doing the call in a way that would make you uncomfortable. I can't speak for Reggie, but I have no beef with any of you and would like nothing more than for a Coolerhead to find the medallion. The way I see it, we are not working against each other, but rather we have our people 1st, 2nd, and 4th in line. I hope to see you guys out at the park tonight.

Something to keep in mind... if I understand correctly from last year.. Everyone will be muted while the clue is read twice. Then they will unmute everybody - BUT so we don't have 40-60 people talking at once you should put your own phone on mute unless you have something to ask or say to the others listening. Right?
Tue, 01/26/2010 - 6:49 PM Permalink

The way I see it, Cooler Crew is in 1st and 2nd spot in line.

there was a way to mute your phone on the system you hit like a number and it would mute you and un-mute you
Tue, 01/26/2010 - 6:51 PM Permalink
Tatergirl

If I remember right.. call the number.. the system will ask for a code. Once you enter it you should be in ... At some point you'll hear the person standing in line talking saying they are opening doors..etc

Just make sure you mute your own phone unless you have something to ask/say.

The message will tell you what the number is to mute when you call in.

I don't know how to mute my phone, but I promise to be mute.

Probably for the first time in my life.

You just hit the number they tell you and it mutes you, KK. Hit it again to unmute, as I remember it.

Side note: saw some guy giving some girl the ol' sham-wow in the park..never know what you'll see out there... :ooh:

Just a thought...but there is more than a handful of sleeping bags and pieces of clothing in the park..could it be that the puck is sewn into one and you must cut it open "at the productive seam" to get the puck...not a pleasant task to go through that gear, though.

I am so sad I don't get to go out tonight! I'll be out there bright and early in the morning if it's still out there.

My hubby does Urban Exploration and they scheduled a "mouser week" during the hunt (partially because it gives them something they can claim they are doing when caught in a park). He doesn't ask for much, so I had to give in and let him have this week. He's out climbing in some sewer right now...

Tomorrow, he'll be underground someplace and we'll have a sitter here (still working on that) so I get to go out, but not tonight.

Good luck! I hope one of you find it!

Kool I will ahve to go out with him some night I got a few people I go out with and one is a Ramsey Co. sheriff and it works out nice he flashes the Badge and they let us roll!! if we get popped!!

I think it will still be out there. There are too many amatures out there. I find it funny how people dig, they just shovel the snow to the ground and with it could go the puck.

We all know what to look for unlike the amatures of areas to hide it. And with all the woods, it will defently be there come Wedensday night.

Wow, My body aches like I cannot explain and I'm so tired. I hope it's found soon. Just woke up from a 2 hour nap and I think I could use 20 more hours.

but it seems like those amatures always manage to find it!!
Tue, 01/26/2010 - 7:46 PM Permalink
tom

I just got home from work, and have to work early tommarow, so I can' dig, or in my case hoe. I found a gardening hoe is a great tool used to find the puck. It allows you to sift threw snow and nothing will get tossed accidently.

I do have some triva in which I'm wondering if someone knows the answer to. Has the treasure ever been found so close to the release of Clue 12 that Clue 12 was released after it was found.

That happened just 3 years ago in Central Park, except for that technically it was Clue 9 as the final clue.

Allison Wonderland

I think tonight's clue will just say something like look by a big tree or stay close to the lake or some such thing. Not enough for it to be found at night. It may get found tomorrow. Either way this hunt will end in the next 2 to 26 hours most likely.

If we do go to clue 12, will it be a Thursday night Pity Party?

Rehash Bash is on Sunday at Newell from 11:30 to 2:30.

The Allison Wonderland Mock Hunt will likely be in early March, possibly starting as early as February 27th.

Yep, a couple years ago for hunt part 2 out at Central Park in Roseville. The people who found it were just poking around waiting for clue 12 to come out and stumbled on it. They turned the puck in after the paper came out, but before most people had left the paper.

Just a thoght out of bordom, next year the PP should up the price to 15,000 or 20,000 and make the money off of 11 PM text messaged clues at a a couple dollars a clue, and a late deliver at a dollar a clue.
