2008 St. Paul Winter Carnival Medallion

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

who is Mary Martian?

I recall Julie Andrews making the role of Maria famous.

I've also heard of a Mary Martin, but I don't see her listed (at IMDB) as ever being in The Sound of Music.

Mary Martin was Peter Pan

Something quite rash? Skin you must save?

Names of poison ivy creams maybe?

Vitamin D is good for the skin... scar tissue saves it...

just trying to connect everything... :confused:

After viewing Die Trapp-Familie (The Trapp Family), a 1956 German film about the von Trapp family, and its 1958 sequel, Die Trapp-Familie in Amerika (The Trapp Family in America), stage director Vincent J. Donehue thought that the project would be perfect for his friend Mary Martin; Broadway producers Leland Hayward and Richard Halliday (Martin's husband) agreed. The producers originally envisioned a nonmusical play that would be written by Lindsay and Crouse and that would feature songs from the repertoire of the Trapp Family Singers. Then they decided to add an original song or two, perhaps by Rodgers and Hammerstein. But it was soon agreed that the project should feature all new songs and be a musical rather than a play. [1]

Wikapedia was where I got this from... I was looking for Maria and thought I had her name wrong when I saw Mary's name

Looks like she was going to be in the play.. I know Julie Andrews was the film.

See here's what bothering me... this clue screams IM, but try to noodle the other clues here. Not much or not easy. This clue is giving some street references but I can come up with a dozen street references for Keller-Phalen.

rides the halls, a hall monitor maybe?

The name brings tears, elation, and cheers

And occasional even outrages

It sits on walls and rides the halls

And fills a dozen pages.


That's the problem with "Indian"

It fits sooo perfect with the first two lines, but not at all with the last two... the way it's worded makes it sound like it's all the same thing

All I find is The Big Book too. There's a book titled Hope and Recovery that follows AA's 12 step program for sexual addiction. But best yet is Mike Huckabee's, From Hope to Higher Ground. Almost sounds like a clue. :smile:

A stretch..perhaps... but it fits every description (and most of you will know what I mean)

The name brings tears, elation, and cheers

And occasional even outrages

It sits on walls and rides the halls

And fills a dozen pages

is....drumroll,,, A child!

A dozen pages, at thirteen they aren't a child....rather a teenager... How about that for a new member of the cooler crew!?!

My parting words for the night, It's going to be in a small park somewhere, not necessarily in st paul. Instead they're leading us around on a wild goose chase by reading the clues on face value. Check small parks that might fit the clues and you'll probably have a winner.

Now to bed, later all

I wouldn't say anything if you know where to hunt in a park. But get your credit if you know the park anyway.

(unless it's a small one :wink: )

Hehe, that would fit nicely now wouldn't it

So we have Childs Rd., Ob's Bar, Thorn, Frank, Point Douglas, Earl, and maybe Bates and Burns depending on how much of a stretch they are to fit in...

Anybody else see an oval-like circle being drawn between all these?

Maybe tie in the beacon and the mounds themselves for points to consider inside the park that have been referenced
