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

I drove through last night and not that many people were out there. The Camo Crew was there and then when I came back the other way they were gone. Battle Creak I only seen 2 cars there. I think people didn't know what to take from this clue.

Up on top is some great viewing- Highbridge, Childs road and 1st Natl Building. The scenic Overlook was interesting with it's shelf and it being right between the off-limit Indian Mounds(how far will we go). and the ridge along there clearly defined seperated hunters from fallers.

I especially liked the hill behind the mounds with the Fountain, I coverred the wood benches, but there were was a big cluster of pines I didn't get to finish-had to go.

I was sleeping. Didn't know if you were out "there" or at work when you werent' here when I got up.

I'm now up, CLEAN, and about to outty and go to my spot. Speaking of which, I xpect to see Spotters there. Prolly walking their dogs or humming some windy, mountainy kind'a song.

I read myself to sleep, and last night after I went to bed I was reading my Larry Millet book, Sherlock Holmes and the Red Demon and one of the footnotes to the chapter I was reading was, "Lumberjacks did indeed have a distinctive language of their own. A 'go-devil' was a two pronged wooden sled, much like a travois, used for hauling logs."

Thought it was ironic to read that during the hunt and finding a reference to go devil. Especially written by Millet. :cool:

Only "spotter" I saw was that Park rec.truck circling me. Poor guy needs a bigger lap-saw him ever 4 minutes or so.

What's the deal with the weather? Is it as warm as it's going to get today and temps drop during the day? Wondering how to dress for the weather.

The off limits clue could also mean they hid it the fathest park possable away.

Heading out in a little while, looks like the puck should be safe for another day though.

This is payback from the CW for last year.

I wouldn't be surprised if he is on the board right now laughing to him/her self :cool:

So everyone's set that it's at Mounds now? No more BC, Highland, Cherokee, Como, et al.?

I think you mean they are easily spotted! :cool:

Allison Wonderland

It's not at Mounds. It's not at BC. It's not at Como. Not even Phalen Keller. All I'm going to say is that if I and the rest of the people in the right park don't find it today, it's truly going to be a clue 12 for the history books.

I personally have not had time to sit down and fit all the clues to Mounds, Battle is still a viable option for me. The Indian references and tent wordings are similar to 2006 battle clues if you ask me. I will try to fit mounds this afternoon when i sneak out of work early.

tom

I don't know why they will make Indian Mounds too obvious in this clue. If so, the Coca and Moca clue finally can stp down at being the all time easiest clue.

I was thinking this last night... there's that song... oh ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low road.. and I'll be in Scotland before you... just thinking, the whole high low thing, Upper Afton... Lower Afton still keeps coming to mind.. especially with the kilt, all the Scotish references...

'ppreciate the kind words, but I'm stickin with Mounds... this hunt's been so all over the place, on a day like today with the weather being so nice I have to make up my mind on a park and just go with it

CM, "one who stood for hope/ much was built in the name of the kilt"

I took that to mean Hopewell, and their mounds all along the Mississippi that they built for their dead

Clue Master

It always fits there AW. I'll stop by to see the Big W that keeps you guys there but I'm headed to Mounds afterwards. You should have that place all dug up by now.

Back in the game a little -

It sits on walls and rides the halls

And fills a dozen pages

"rides the halls" - I think means a school? meaning, the halls of a school?

Also, on the "pyramid" theme, the 3M building turns the lights of their building into a christmas tree around the holidays. But from BC because of the trees, you would only see a pyramid.

Yes... lol around the holidays, it always reminded me of a xmas tree
