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

Sorry you are bummed about the hunt Mucky.
I wish I would have had more time to noodle this year - I'm just bummed in general that January is such a busy time for me to free up my nights for thinking.
Point douglas forms a point with Clarence at Burns, next to Ogg's Bar. Could be on Star Hill. Or just into the woods from Star Hill. And there is a foot bridge there that crosses Warner/Great River rd.
this was posted by someone named hidiver or something like that.. I just want to make sure he or she gets the credit for that noodle... so I was thinking about star lawyer,and when they mentioned the whole Clerence thing.. I thought of none other than.....

Again, I don't know if this has been noodled yet or not, if it has I'm sorry.. lol I just don't have enough time on the internet to go back and slog thru everything.
I don't think I'll take much of the first week off, but I'd like to have the final few days of the hunt to get out more.
And I will miss you out there Who is going to give me the Mucky Hugs!!! That I love in line I do understand some of where your coming from!! but I love having you out! with us YOu should come Tape the mass kayos out in the park From your VAN!!!
as far as tomorrow night been there done that way too many times...was scared to death at Como, watched at Phalen, did the 10 hours in line for Roseville...don't need to do that any more.
didn't happen.
Treacherous walking conditions out there too!
Last night I slipped and fell. Head hit first. I think it's OK. Today my elbow is aching.
I know I've seen and heard a few people who have loved the clues and the hunt this year, but in the past almost everybody who was out looking was having a great time.
Let's just hope it's not a sign of things to come. I know I'm still heading out, braving the elements for my small chance at doing something nobody in my family has been able to do in 50+ years of hunting.
How's parking there? Better off parking off Warner (back) entrance?

No.. it's in Indian Mounds Park. Somewhere in the woods on the East end of the park, possibly in view of obbs bar and the pedestrian or high bridge.
That you can quote me on.
I think he may be onto something, but I think it confirms what green was saying... NOT Swede Hollow
Hey, with all this new job talk, I wonder if I should go down to the press and ask if they're looking to hire a new clue writer.
I'll make sure it's a fun hunt, and none of this giving the park after a nice weekend nonsense.
hahahahaha
:sheepish:
Wish I was there to hang with ya'll. Has the Vulcan dance happened yet? or is that next weekend? bummed I'm missing it. Did just find tickets home in April for $175 - going to see if I can work it into my schedule.
It sure was lonely in Como last night. Until today's clue, I really had a sure-fire explanation as for why it was there, and now that's completely evaporated!
I needed to find it last night, as I have no free time this evening to hunt.

Well - that is south of us a bit (albert lea to red wing), but should things shift, the evening could be a bit of a trick. Be careful out there today/tonight, and stay warm.
I could either go back to bed, or come on down. Hard to decide,
So, I've got a lot of points at Keller and Como, and NONE at Mounds.
I found a tea candle last night, and insisted on breaking it apart!
Shoot, have a GPS in your car and record your tracklog as you drive around, that would look interesting too.
Now if only I could tie medallion hunting expenses into a tax deduction....

Question re: the conference call - do we need a separate number for the call moderator?
I am going to try to use my blue tooth thingy. I hope I am loud enough. I'll call in at 10:45 to check my sound. If you didn't do this last year, the best thing is to be quiet and just listen to me read the clue. I'll repeat it a bunch of times and then I'll start trying to direct people to the right spot if I can figure it out. Last year, Tammy had lots of maps and stuff which helped to direct people. I'll try to replicate, but like I said, it is easier with two people to manage the phone, the maps, the paper, etc.
Also, after 10:45, please don't call me direct. Instead, call into the conference call.
