2008 St. Paul Winter Carnival Medallion

Medallion Hotline 651-228-5547 

 


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

If youare asking about the clue 5 reference to the 03 hunt, I am going with leelabell (cuz she's so smart) on that it is Bilansky Point. Down by Bruce Vento Parking area, where the 2 creeks/streams (Trout and something) met.

I love mounds :smile:

But there seems to be some doubt in the medallion central. Steve Bush appears to think (or is trying to lead you to) Swede Hollow.

You know, I don't really remember that.

This has been a change for me this year with regards to the hunting. Before I was more interested in finding the medallion. This year I'm still interested in finding it, but the time available for it is limited. The time spent with the friends that I've made and the people I've come to know is more important now. Ten years ago I didn't know anyone. I was just new to this all, being a lurker, having no clue what I would be getting into.

The hunt is the high point for us, what we all look forward to. But we all look forward to it for different reasons. With the relationships that we've made, it's taken on a new meaning for us. I had a hard time not crying watching the No Time For Cold Feet DVD when Santa Dave was on there. I enjoyed seeing *Mom* and the girls this weekend, and having their oldest daughter remember playing together at rehash bashes in previous years. Now she's grown up and having her own noodles. The time I'll have to spend with people in person will be less now, but perhaps that will make it more special. I think that's the big thing, is making the hunt fun and special for each of us.

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

WESTERN Bower.. a bird....

Wait, make that two... not sure one could pick me up when I die of hypothermia and exhaustion...

Torn as in torn between; undecided between two; one or the other.

But, it does rhyme with "thorn."

Kids - odd how when I watched the documentary, I smiled from ear to ear seeing and hearing that voice of DDY's.

Its been more in not seeing his jalopy or having him meet up with us in a park to hunt that I miss and get a bit sad about.

It was wonderful seeing you this weekend. We do miss you.

why can't you get in on the confrence call? Doesn't your Brother have a cell phone? Why not go out catch up with someone else who has a phone and listen in on the call?

I do have to clarify, for most of the part seeing him it brought a smile to me. But there were certain times that it was hard because I knew there were just going to be the memories, and no new ones to add.

It was great to be seen and see you all. I'm looking forward to AW's hunt.

Okay, Conrad. But I've still got my bets on the bower you dug out as a kid.

This is a crazy night with the wind howling - and we have good windows, stuff blowing and banging stuff, our street lights are out all up and down the block and yet we think we're going out to a park to find something invisible?!?!

We are all nutz.

We'll wait a bit yet. I think we need to put some go juice in the tank too.

I'm not 100% Mounds. I am 100% BCIM Regional Park.

I got to thinking today, that sign we saw yesterday had "runt" on it: little pig. Not to mention "sight" - eye.

And all the other things I've said.

I guess we'll see. But I'm still lower than upper at this point.

Has anyone thought about the Mason link referring to the retaining walls at IM or the Cemstone plant you see from the lookouts?
Tue, 01/29/2008 - 7:31 PM Permalink
Terry

I had thought of that one huge retaining wall, but didn't want to mention it in case someone got the bright idea to climb it looking for a shelf.

I watched someone yesterday "clear the shelf" of the retaining wall right by the bridge that goes over Warner. They didn't find anything.

I thought mason had to do with some temple that visible from the park? Could be wrong though.

No, that's what everyone is thinking... I just had a different noodle after being out there.

That lodge is visible. Many things that masons could be and probably are in Mounds.

I am looking forward to the clue explanations after this one has been found.

LOL, yeah I cant stand retarded people doing stupid crap like that - they're risking their lives and in the process risking ruining the hunt for everybody else. They're either usually drunk, or a teenager (or both).

Something just got blown and hit the window here. Scared the bejeebers out of me!

For those out hunting tonight, watch for flying objects.

I'm still a little young to be saying things like "dag nab kids", but in this case I'll make an exception.

What Terry say? "Stupid is as stupid does"?

Just nature weeding out the stupid. Organ donors.
