Clue #1 You've joined the hunt for the regal runt
To prove searching does pay
Don't dig a hole or knock down a pole
And the golf course is out of play
Last year Jake took home the cake
With a clue a bit off level
This year we'll rinse off all our prints
Lest this hunt go to the devil
Clue #2 The point of all this is so that you won't miss
Your big chance to grab all the cash
Now gather your guys and a gal who is wise
You'll have to do something quite rash
Clue #3 We've scanned the county to hide our bounty
And keep you on your toes
It may sound risible, but our puck's invisible
Although it might just stick to your nose.
Clue #4 How fun is the snow how far will we go
You really ought to go see
Get up for the mission and not just the wishin'
Get into the game-it's all free
Clue #5 There once was a clue that drove you-know-who
To threaten a heinous act
We'd use it again but we're afraid of his pen
My friend, that's an unfortunate fact
Clue #6 All ye who look should honor the book
As one who stood for hope
Much was built in the name of the kilt
Look sharp now and never mope
Clue #7 If you should go look high then low
One could see it from a bower
If it's your bent you might seek a tent
To protect in case of shower
Take note of the wood and do what you should
To extract the prize for yourself
Build a bridge to your dreams as high as they seem
Leave nothing behind on the shelf
Clue #8 Look at the buck to acquire good luck
In finding the grail this year
Link a jar,a line, a star lawyer divine
While crying in your beer
He won, then lost and the nation was tossed
Into strife that was far from civil
The point I'm making is yours for the taking
Believe me - not the message board drivel
Clue #9 This name brings tears, elation and cheers
And occasionally even outrages
It sits on walls and rides the halls
And fills a dozen pages
The hills are alive and you'll have arrived
Refrain from the very injurious
Be bold and be brave but your skin you must save
What's off-limits should frankly be obvious
Clue #10 Look for the sight you hope is just right
You're doubtful and you're torn
Make the rounds for what rhymes with grounds
And part of a rose with a horn
Through flames and flow this park where you'll go
Is the site of sacred relics
Stay away from these and the cliffs if you please
Or you'll be in a heckuva fix
Clue #11 Air and river sounds lead all to Mounds
Far from the graves take your entourage
Twixt Burns and Thorn, an icy pathway is born
Across Mounds from a gray house and tan garage
Hell no fury hath as those on the wrong path
Mounds and Warner form a woodsy perimeter
The path not official contains footprints beneficial
Some 300 trudges in - quest for a quitter
This trail you must follow goes down a narrow hollow
Under a fallen tree to an old rusted drum
From here you must search for a hillside path perch
Wherein lies the center of fun

The murder of Rev Elijah Lovejoy Parrish, an abolishonist in IL, is termed the first 'battle' of the Civil War. He was a newspaper editor in Alton, IL, and was murdered when he was getting his new printing press off the boat and upt to a warehouse.
Monkey, ya'thing Boxmeyer's back? With a VENGENCE. LOL!
Didn't the Knights Templar, Masons, have the holy grail? Or still or something?
Douglas was sure a runt. Squaty little guy.
goodluck out there everyone
Unless ittiz the dog park - but that just could'a been a thing in the park. Even though ittiz on the Maplewood side. Not making sense. Not awake.
Maplewood side o'BC. Could be the dog park or that could just be something in the park that just happens to also be on the Maplewood side.
Though the dog park would sure be more okayer to rip apart, I'd think.
Now I changed my mind.
Goldarnit.
Again, it would be rash to a) do Central, b) list parks where it isn't instead of where ittiz.
Possibly the last Clue will tell us the park and then a free-for-all dig.
I really think the park's being listed these past couple day, or nodded to, but it's a year of DOUBLE ILLUSION. Know what I mean?
That puts me at Chair-O-Key! LOL!
Up till 5 am noodling by myself
I have a T. Hunt hangover :sillygrin:
but not on the boards - just in the bar - heh
I get overload sold from 1 clue on one park and then the next day the clue is overload on another park and so on.
One could certainly cry in their beer at Obbs.

See you kids in the parks!
"Battle Creek Indian Mounds Regional Park"
"Indian Mounds Park is a public park in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The park overlooks the Mississippi River in the Dayton's Bluff neighborhood[1] and is part of Battle Creek Regional Park.[2]"
That would make this the biggest honkin' park in the county. And maybe make sense of all these clues that like keep repeating a theme?
Indian Mounds Park is an important and inseparable part of the Battle Creek Regional Park.
Whats the Wise Gal and the Guys mean for B.C.?
Does "Carver" elementary allude to "Masonry"?
Assistant secretary to President Lincoln (1864-65) who was an ordained Presbyterian minister and dedicated historian. At the beginning of the Civil War, Rev. Neill served as chaplain to a Minnesota regiment and later as an army hospital chaplain in Philadelphia. He took William Stoddard's land patent duties after William Stoddard became ill in 1864. On the day President Lincoln was murdered, Neill saw President about a commission for the Freedman's Bureau. He wrote later that "The President's capacity for work was wonderful. While other men were taking recreation through the sultry months of summer he remained in his office attending to the wants of the nation. He was never an idler or a lounger. Each hour he was busy."1
"Every month my impression of the greatness of President Lincoln increased. He was above a life of mere routine. In his bearing there was nothing artificial or mechanical," wrote Neill. "He was independent of all cliques. Willing to be convinced, with a wonderful patience he listened to the opinions and criticisms of others."2 Neill was also a chronicler of the President's human side, writing on May 31, 1864: "Yesterday four or five thousand Sunday School children, with banner and bands of music[,] marched by the President's House, while he stood at the window and received their hearty cheers with smiles..."3
Neill was a decade older than the older presidential assistants and had considerable experience in church and education affairs - while the primary assistants had a background in writing, journalism and politics. But like his colleagues, Neill was protective of the President.
One morning he told his doorkeeper that he should not be interrupted as he was much engaged. Senator Howard of Michigan, came and said he must see him. The doorkeeper could not disobey orders, and brought him to me. As soon as he sat down, he showed that he was in ill humor, and said: 'If it were his own son he would not act so.' Never having seen the Senator, and supposing him to be some agent to procure substitutes, I replied that if he continued to speak disrespectfully of the President, in his own house, I must request him to leave the room. He then said that he was Senator Howard, and that he had come to request suspension of sentence of a soldier who in a few hours was to be executed.
Entering the President's room, I found him very busy in writing, and apologetically said: 'Would not have interrupted you, but Senator Howard wants suspension of sentence, in a certain case.' 'Wants suspension! Well, that is a queer request.' Afterward he told me to write a telegram, giving the soldier's name, ordering suspension of sentence, sign his name, and send it through the War Department. I told him I would write the order, but preferred that he should sign it.4
Neill remained at the White House as an aide to President Andrew Johnson. Unlike Stoddard, whom he replaced, Neill was a moderate on Reconstruction policy. He later served as a diplomat in Dublin and president of Minnesota's Macalester College. It was one of several Minnesota educational institutions that he had helped found; he served as the state's first superintendent of schools. He was devoted to the idea of education which taught Christian principles but unalterably opposed to co-education."
This is the guy that first excavated the Mounds in 1856...
