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'm sorry I put the rest of the people on board with me...
I was afraid I could have convienced more of the coolers if I really had pushed it and explained my ideas.
but I want to point out just a few as I needed to dump it off..

but the reason I didn't like mounds was I still can't believe the clue writer is going to get aways with calling out indian mounds with terms like Injuin and 'save your skin'
I like it a lot
The cluewriter is following the same MO they've had since 2003. Pick a large park in St. Paul, lead people on a wild goose chase (or not, sometimes they've been nicer about it, but not this year), then finally name the park on the 9th or 10th clue. Pick a large patch of woods, hide the puck in a large downed tree.
I've come to a couple conclusions for next year(s). 1. Skip anything outside St. Paul, the hunt's just too big to support anything out of the city limits where the Press could be held liable for damages (and yes, I know last year's 2nd hunt didn't follow that, but it was beyond precident) 2. 9 out of 10 times, the hunt will end at one of the big parks in St. Paul, concentrate on those, if it's a small park, you won't know until it's over anyway, or you get really, really lucky on figuring out the clues.
I don't think either is right.
I think injurious is just there to rhyme with ob vious. And I thought save your skin was in reference to how the Indians stayed warm during the winter. Or Burns
But they could have used her as a reference to Native Americans in general to point in the park. She is as widely known as Geronimo.

The wooded area that borders that entire south side of the streets is all Mounds Park.
BC begins on the other side of 61, across from Pigs Eye.
I took this to mean any park with Ian and Kitch in it...
If I find it I will need to borrow someone's clues. My kids took my sheet that had my clues tape to it to show a friend, at school, and it did't come back home. The DVD has really perked up my kids interest. watching all of you act just as passiontly talk about it has got them fired up.
Today is our day to find it. get out there cooler crew and dig, dig dig. Hope one of us finds it today.
Thoughts? Please post in the rehash thread.
 Also thanks for finding my phone Leelebell!!!!
And thanks to the diggin chicks for a booster when I needed it!
You babes rock!
You know I drive a silver Jeep Cherokee right?
Over 40 people were roaming various parts of the park on the 19th.

Please don't quit. We need you at IM to increase our odds vs. the shmucks.
Ian get's a free pass because he's spent more time digging this year than most of the crew has in their entire life.
Cyclopse fits with the clue about the Buck (back of dollar)...
But sucks since I am busy with appointments at work all day and have class I can't skip tonight!
if it is not found does the guy who picked the park for the parkpool get the money?
FIX FIX! :angry:
:wink:
Mikey, go south!
Riding the rail was a punishment of Colonial America in which a man was made to straddle a fence rail held on the shoulders of two men, with other men on either side to keep him upright on the rail. The victim was then paraded around town.
I blame Kitch!
Although in truth the clues do fit Kellogg better than they fit IM, until this last one that is.
