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 don't know if this is getting us anywhere - but it's more fun than just waiting for the next clue - and we might find the perfect combination.

I've not been sold on Swede Hollow either.

I've not been 100% sold on any one park yet. Harriet Island and Indian Mounds have been my favorite parks thus far - though Keller was an early good one to munch on awhile.

This will be clue 10. Hope we get a more definate park clue.

Como would be okay at this point.

Ya know, the more I thought about it (especially after checking it out yesterday) Swede Hollow makes no sense whatsoever. Especially with these clues and the real possibility of it going to clue 12. It would be the biggest disaster in the history of the hunt.

cake -wedding cake?

Now gather your guys and a gal who is wise - wedding party? (nah she's nuts)

shower - wedding shower?

Build a bridge to your dreams- wedding? bridging?

buck -dollar dance?

This name brings tears, elation and cheers

And occasionally even outrages

Part two of this Clue (that rhymes!) says once you've figured out the first part you'll have arrived where the Med is.

When #12 comes out, ittiz gonna be a long time before anyone gets to this spot. There is like zip, nada, goose egg for parking. We'll have to come in from two different ways and ittiz gonna be a hike. They're fixing our wagon for the cell phone, sitting around and waiting, mad rush.

I've been wondering how "Indian" brings elation and cheers, and I suppose if it is a sports team name it could.

I'm getting visions of Tony Schmidt - crying in your beer and all that.

Gonna be dang cold. The last time the med was hid there, it was bitter cold. There is a rail road something or another there to tie in with the rails.

Tony can be an award. Tears, cheers, etc.

I need to go froing for a wee bit. Need to get things set for the morning so I don't have to think about that process when I'm still half asleep.

See yaz in a wee bit.

Have we considered this possibility? there is actually alot of coincidences for the way the clues fit along this trail

http://www.skateminnesota.org/trails/bn.html

Bruce Vento's middle name is "Frank," by the way...

actually lends some more credence to my earlier thread about Harvest park - this runs along the western border of it and I didn't even know

Just trying to find any other ideas before the new clue comes out...
