clue #1
Congrats to the finder, to all a reminder
To hunt hard from first to last clues
Medallion I is history. Now a new mystery
Begins -- strap on your hunting shoes
To some its demented, for all unprecedented
But hunters’ thirst must be quenched
Tell sister and brother we’ve hidden another
In a park where a body can be benched
Our 2nd prize? Don’t laugh -- 10-thou cut in half
So get out there even if it’s snowy
And as a special bonus -- some might say an onus --
A meal with our own Clueless Joey
Good hunting to you, let this be the first clue
Think of a woodsy retreat
It won’t be so hard if you channel the bard
You’ll get warm and smell pretty sweet

Well, "no time for cold feet" also can refer to dancing.It is on my daughter's danceline competition t-shirt. So I thought, hmmmmm.Everyone is focusing on the movie, maybe it has double meaning> And greet anagram is egret. A lake? Nature preserve nearby. Nature preserve and "natures lovers".
anagram for low is "owl" ; two bird anagrams from clues.

Hey everyone! We're new to this (second hunt) but we been thinkin Hidden Falls. K. here goes. nature lovers greet at Crosby, a mostly natural habitat as well as Hidden Falls (attached to Crosby). The kicker is that the south half of Hidden Falls is closed in the winter except to FOOT traffic. you have to walk unmaintained paths from north HF or Crosby to get to the puck. No time for cold feet!
Dersky, "2007 Pioneer Press Medallion Hunt" #191, 21 Jan 2007 8:44 am
I think the puck is near a cryogenics lab (hence the cold feet), near a nature overlook, along a nature trail, outside of a park, near a warming house, adjacent to a parking lot. Think I will go and pick it up now.

Could the nature lover reference be to Bruce Vento Trail?
The Bruce Vento Regional Trail runs from Maplewood to St Paul. It crosses the Gateway and continues south to the southern end of Phalen Park, then continues along Phalen Boulevard and through Swede Hollow to its terminus near Seventh Street. Another spur off of Phalen Boulevard continues west, going over a long bridge that crosses very active railroad tracks, and terminates at I-35E.

the each other to me leads me to think Como because many people have wedding pictures taken of each other at the arch that is filled with nature. All the flowers on the arch. no time for cold feet could mean the groom not getting cold feet right before the wedding.

thats good thinking. The zoo fits in with nature sort of too

ice and snow = on a new disc

but, "temperatures low" = a lower tree stump

I agree with Tim, in that KISS is best at this point.

Brassmonkey, "2007 St. Paul Winter Carnival Medallion" #1258, 22 Jan 2007 6:39 am
It looks like the oldest park in saint paul is Hidden Falls. This could also fit with clue 1. two nature lovers parks that greet each other, they share a border. Also the waterfalls would be on ice right now as they are frozen, and the ford plant is a long haul...
Brassmonkey, "2007 St. Paul Winter Carnival Medallion" #1263, 22 Jan 2007 6:53 am
The word low in clue one could refer to the bottom of Hidden Falls just like in 1993 when they said lets get to the bottom of things. ...

Interesting. With all this talk of old, Vento nature sanctuary is at the base of Indian Mounds park.
The park is older, and the mounds themselves are really old, but they'd never directly mention them in a clue or people would be messin with em.
KC0GRN, "2007 St. Paul Winter Carnival Medallion" #1342, 22 Jan 2007 10:41 am
I'm kinda liking Newell at the moment. It's one of the oldest St. Paul parks. Near that truck/railroad area.
Plus, it was the park where Kirk Condie found his first medallion (if I remember correctly). Maybe if the cluewriters don't mention him in a clue, they'll relate this hunt to him in a different way.
On a personal note, it would just figure for me, as I used to work less than half a mile from there, now this year I don't..
Then again, it's only the 2nd clue, so I'm sure I can be proven wrong.

Good catch, mrmnmikey.
Although I still like Hidden Falls (or that area), I keep coming back to the Bruce Vento Trail.
Clue #2 makes a couple references that keep this as a dark horse for me:
"Long haul" -- the trail is a 6.2 mile trek or "haul"
Clue #2 specifies St. Paul. Why specify St. Paul unless you want to contain hunters to St. Paul. In other words, the Bruce Vento Trail goes outside of St. Paul as well. So if you were going to lead hunters to the Bruce Vento Trail, you would want to contain them to at least the St. Paul portion of it.
Okay, I'm going to stretch Clue #2 a bit here. The reference to "ice" made me think about how the Trail crosses at Frost St. ("There is one major road crossing at Frost St.)
http://www.skateminnesota.org/trails/bn.html
Obviously, clue writers in the past have always enjoyed making St. Paul history part of the hunt. Bruce Vento would fit that bill.

If you want to use your anagram and mine together in the first sentence:

Lever- Lever 2000 is a popular brand of soap which brings us down 2 seperate paths: 1) 2000 (from the brand name) when the treasure was at Newell and 2) 2001 when it was hidden at Como in a dove soap box ....

I know that the Shakespeare reference could mean several things. Obviously Avon and Juliet are street names that come to mind.

Not to thwart ideas, but if one channels the bard, you may get the names of plays (Thanks, Nick) and if you take one, such as MidSummer Night's dream, the character "Puck" may leap out...this could be a simple reference to the Puck or hockey (benched), that is tossed out to help the noodlers get off-track with Strattford on Avon, Rose, juliet and others...I hope they would NOT give us too much solid evidence to go on (They now KNOW Jake exists, and must plan accordingly...)

A lot of people are mentioning the name Henry in relation to Shakespear.
Henry park = woodsey retreat
The poet is Robert Burns who wrote, 'A Bard's Epitaph'
The channel is English (st)
Burns and English meet at Indian Mounds at the same patch of woods that the capture the flag hunt from '05 or '04. Remember the cluewriter had to come up with this fast and he/she already had the Flag landmarks in recent memory.
The "benched' refers to supreme court justices William Douglas (pt Road) from Minnesota and Clarence (Thomas).
The warm and sweet is probably what it's hidden in.

Or Marydale...Mary (sister) Dale (brother)....I was in Merriam Park last night. I did not see anything but a lot of people had dug by the baseball fields.

A menagerie of fun wild and tame.
Its hidden in a box of animal crackers.

...the question that comes to mind with "A collection of fun wild or tame," is "What's a fun collection of wild things?" "What's a fun collection of tame things?"
Collection wild - Zoo
Collection tame - Carousel
To me I don't see it as substituting zoo or carousel for "wild" or "tame," but rather answering "What's a wild or tame collection? A zoo and a carousel.
And both fit the usual definition or thought of animals.

Or it could mean the rides...some are wild some are tame, like the kiddie rides.

standing figure of Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller was dedicated in 1907. The sculpture was donated by U.S. German Societies of Saint Paul and private citizens of German descent to commemorate the renowned German philosopher, poet, and dramatist, Johann von Schiller. He was born in 1759 and is known for his enthusiastic optimism. His works gave vitality to the lives of many Germans.

A menagerie of fun wild and tame..
Could they be refering to the xcel center? It would fit wild perfectly, and the old civic center used to host the shrine circus (menagerie).
The Bard on Flora with growing pains:
For never-resting time leads summer on
To hideous winter, and confounds him there;
Sap check'd with frost and lusty leaves quite gone,
Beauty o'ersnow'd, and bareness everywhere;
Then, were not summer's distillation left,
A liquid prisoner pent in walls of glass,
Beauty's effect with beauty were bereft,
Nor it, nor no remembrance what it was;
But flowers distill'd, though they with winter meet,
Leese but their show; their substance still lives sweet.

Tonight's clue will be
If you passed our test
And it's Como you guessed
the puck is almost in your hand
Como park is the place
Where you'll win the race
Get ready to strike up the band
It's in Como already
So keep your nerves steady
Beacuse Como is where its at
all these clues are the same
It's the Como Hunt game
the one with the swat means a bat

No, that's not it... I just got it hot off the 2:04 press...
I will lead you there, Fair and square
to the park where it is hidden.
My game is in the bag, I've been oh, so vague
It's not where you've been sittin.
To find the puck, you'll need some luck
and a compass, two or three.
Now there is one way, that you could find it today,
And that's if you'd have followed me.
I just marked the last 260 some messages as read.... so I dont know if anyone has posted this...
Im liking phalen right now (when do I not?... it is MY park, afterall)...
I think if its there, it'll be by the rec center area...
Cottage and Forest intersect, right there.... a Cottage in the Forest, could be the woodsy retreat...
flora with growing pains = poison ivy...
Ivy street is right near there...
theres hockey rinks set up every year.... they have baseball fields...
If you're loosely fitting stuff in, like we're normally supposed to... I think this has a good chance.

I can make a very strong case for Edgcumbe Rec Center.
Clue #1:
"thirst to quench" = drinking fountains
"body can be benched" = an unuasually high number of park benches suurond the kiddie park.
Clue#2:
The mural below shows a "menagerie of fun wild (animals) and tame" (children) in "summer and winter" scenes. The muralist first name is "IVY" (as in poison ivy the growing pain floral).
Clue #3:
Tennis Courts and Baseball fields = "swatter of orbs"

At the risk of working too hard to make the clues fit my park of prejudice, (Central), I wonder if the reference to re(volt) could perhaps refer to the high voltage power lines that run through much of the park. Could these possibly interfere with cell phone reception.? It is possible, too, that reiteration of "poem" reinforces the import of the reference to bard (Shakespeare), and his famous quote that "a rose by any other name would smell as "sweet"". Thankyou for the observation regarding the fire station.
