2008 St. Paul Winter Carnival Medallion

Submitted by KITCH on

Medallion Hotline 651-228-5547 

 


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

where was everybody downtown?

got there, right after they opened the doors... didnt hardly see anybody....

the clue wasnt that good... cant see how everybody took off that quick, unless I was missing something and am no longer in the loop, or the "in crowd"

anyhow... we went to Mounds, anyways because some stuff fits...

walked up through the "wild flag" woods part of the park, near that sewer thing, and the star...

not much there, man.....

I dunno....

what parks HAVENT they sent us to yet? Maybe we should start there....

still a few cars there, as of like 15 mins ago....

this sucks...

feels like the 8 hours or so that we spent at Como last night, and again this morning, was all for nothing

If anyone knows anyone in a tan Chevy Blazer thingy that got chewed out from some idiot that was stuck behind them at the paper while they were double parked... tell them I am sorry I blew up.

Im probably not heading out in the morning.... as GirlBassist will need the car for work....

I'll definately be back out, tomorrow evening/night though....

I'd rather hunt at night anyways, pretty much.... and im seriously doubting that it'll be found before number 10 comes our way...

I'm hoping they go ahead and give us the park....

The Vietnam Veterans memorial is known as "The Wall".

Trying to tie clue #5 in with IM:

from 2003:Was it two or three, they seem not to agree

When St. Paul made a great leap.


There were originally 23 mounds at IM before the majority were destroyed.

I'm going to hit the sheets for tonight and get up in the morning refreshed and look at the clues again...I hate to feel like they are leading us around by a little leash laughing their @$$es off.

mystical_muzik

lol it's exactly what they're doing. 2003 everyone was thinking Harriet, then the last minute, they tell us Como, it's totally going to be one of those hunts. I can feel it. We're due for another Como, as much as I hate to say it.

How so?

Hey Z-man, you'd hate me then. Until we started meeting before the clue release, I would show up right at 11:00 and park in the middle of the street triple parking everyone along the curb. Then I'd stay in the lobby noodling only to realize that my car was left parked in the middle of the street all alone forcing everyone to go around it. HeH :eek:

The name brings tears, elation, and cheers

And occasional even outrages

It sits on walls and rides the halls

And fills a dozen pages.

Best thought is the name is a "Year"? I don't know how it rides a hall though.

I'm virtually driving around Mounds and found this cyclist peddling through the Burns Hwy 61 intersection. Notice the yellow light. Do you think he made it?

'mom'

Good Morning all. Needing the coffee this am. It's back to real life for this gal :frown:. Just as well. This last clue *does* sure make me think of Mounds, and I've been waiting for it to be there for YEARS. But I'm not sure that each clue makes sense there.

I won't see daylight today. Hoping I might be able to sneak a nap in this evening, so's to be ready for the clue later -- if the darned thing isn't found by then.

Good luck to all those venturing out for the hunt today!
