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

Interesting theory! So would the med be in a park, or along the trail?

I've been thinking more and more that it's not in a park at all, along the trail yes.

MY g/f is convinced it's at Harriet because of Scotts wife's name, plus there's an anchor there (Borow) and of course the skyline.

I'm still going with my gut feeling on the BV trail. They said we'd have a long way to go. I think it's at a point where ther is no parking, so there will be quite a hile to get to the spot. Either that or more likely there is minimal parking near the spot, so the first one there will get it, and the rest of us will have a huge hike to go on.

I just had a kind of 'holy shit' moment - pardon my French

Anagram: "Rides the Halls" = "Shelter Ash Lid"

I like the hangs on walls and fills 12 pages to mean a Calendar, but there is still a lot of Gobbledeygook in this clue

Now, how about one for "sits on walls and rides the halls"?

These clues are jacking us all over the place. I sure hope its not in the damn Frog Pond.

There were some folks digging in the frogpond sometime in the last couple days. I was thinking it might be a good spot. LOL!!

So instead of getting anything ready for tomorrow, my daughter called and we talked for quite awhile - so I'm off froing again.

Good anagram btw!

i'm feeling musical--so if you like Rush, or Simon and Garfunkel--and the words of the prophets are written on the Subway walls, concert hall...

Checking out the news right now...YIKES!!! 9-degrees for a high, windy, and a sprinkling of snow. Oh, yeah, we're going to find the medallion now:) Bring on the blizzard!!! (IMO The CW and Mother Nature are in co-hoots:)

I love Simon and Garfunkel. Thanks for the musical ride down the halls.

Graffiti is on walls and down halls and on rails
Mon, 01/28/2008 - 8:24 PM Permalink
Terry

That is one conspiracy theory I believe whole heartedly.

About2Burn

Hey Dave, I was feeling musical earlier too, I noticed a note, and a song, but unfortunatly not Rush or S&G - RUSH Rocks again in May BTW

I really think I'm onto something with this trail - I've now narrowed my search to 6.2 miles, and I'm finally at that point of I know it's here, that I haven't gotten yet in any of the parks.

Mad_Dach5und

And in the naked light I saw...10,000 people maybe more...

People digging without listening...people grumbling, people drinking....

Graffiti could = hieroglyphs

Off topic, but have you ever really looked at some of the graffiti on the sides of boxcars? Some of it is really well done. I see a lot of it when I walk the levee here in SSP. The artists even sign their work.
Mon, 01/28/2008 - 8:30 PM Permalink
Terry

I have noticed that. Honestly, there is some super talent out there.

hoestly, I've been in Como since Thursday. The thing with Como, is that is a big park with a LOT of amenties. And it doesn't matter what made me think the medallion was in Como--it's just that I made it fit. And this is clue 10 coming up, so I'm thinking if it's in Como--they pretty much have to say as much, as Como is huge.

So, If it's in Como, remember, I said so last week. And if it isn't, remember that I told you today that it's not.

And in the frog pond zone, at 8 pm, there were maybe 8 people digging.

So were they in the frog pond or just in the area?

I was in the frog pond in 97, LOL!

Would that not be a kick in the place the sun don't shine to have it show up there?
Mon, 01/28/2008 - 8:41 PM Permalink
Mad_Dach5und

I grew up in southern MN on the Mankato rail line - the coolest thing I ever saw was a 'flip' animation made up of graffiti painted across about 8 boxcars in a row - that took some serious time and talent.
Mon, 01/28/2008 - 8:42 PM Permalink
Terry

Thinking of graffiti...most of what is found now is gang related. Remember the discussion about Ma Barker earlier in the clues?

two people in the actual pond, checking all the shelves made by the rocks forming the wall of the pond.

Gotta sleep, gotta work, see you all tomorrl\ow

If Horton hears a who - no one will be more surprised than me.
