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

OT

Goes to show how clues can be interpreted differently. I never even thought about Fred St. Just Bedrock. But the result was the same.

Here's one !!!! Don't know how good it is...

"Will it go 'round in circles"

Is the song you must sing,

If you are to play this game

To find the sought after "thing" :eek:

The lyrics to the song repeat, "Will it fly high like a bird in the sky. Will it go 'round in circles". I thought of the eagles nests on Pig's Eye.

hidden falls cause of the circles in the sky?

OT

So now I'll guess Harriet Island or Lambert Landing because of paddle boats.

brasscat

Your right phalen

What made you think of that?

wondering if it was my same thought process?
Thu, 01/17/2008 - 10:14 AM Permalink
regman

I guessed Phalen because the song was #1 the same year the medallion was hidden at Phalen. It probably wasn't what you were thinking, but at least it got me to the right place :smile:

This should be easy!

No need for a walke talke

think of the origin of sake

to really make your day

If you need a boost,grab some juice

you are only a kernel away.

What goes round in circles... wheels

Blah... Kernels make me think of linear algebra :smile:

Brassmonkey

linear was a summer class for me one year, ick.
Thu, 01/17/2008 - 10:20 AM Permalink
regman

Yeah, Brasscat. Once you told me I was right, I noticed the Wheelock thing and thought that it was a more likely solution than mine.

cool cool just shows to go many different ways to get to the same place :smile:

Yeah, BM.. I might have to take an advanced linear algebra class this summer :barf: I don't mind calc or analysis, but I don't find linear algebra to be very interesting.

Hidden Falls? monkey?

Acorn?

Brassmonkey

Yes regman, awesome
Thu, 01/17/2008 - 10:31 AM Permalink
Brassmonkey

I outlined the streets,

Rice St, County C, and gave Acorn with only a kernel away.

Good job
Thu, 01/17/2008 - 10:32 AM Permalink
regman

Yep.. hey, I actually got it right for the right reasons this time.
Thu, 01/17/2008 - 10:34 AM Permalink
Brassmonkey

Solid Job. these are warm ups for the real deal.
Thu, 01/17/2008 - 10:36 AM Permalink
Brassmonkey

does anyone want one more?

I have a little more lunch time left.
Thu, 01/17/2008 - 10:36 AM Permalink
OT

I was heading in a different direction. Saki is a character in a Wii game. So I thought maybe Wheelock again.

Brassmonkey

This little clue should surely do

If you think how a golf ball is made.

you will become near when your reasoning is clear

especially with a helping house maid.
Thu, 01/17/2008 - 10:44 AM Permalink
regman

Here's one:

at the puckÂ’s location I will hint

think clearly, without tint

use the skill of your mind

and the treasure youÂ’ll find

Haha.. lets see who can guess each other's first!

brasscat

Knowing his work with rodents

Should bring you to an obscure place,

It don't matter if you think of sausages or motels

These thoughts will end your chase.

Brassmonkey

oh no three to solve, lets finish these before anymore.

Reg, I feel like its an anagram...
Thu, 01/17/2008 - 10:51 AM Permalink
brasscat

sorry guys i should of checked the board before i put one more on here :lipsealed:
Thu, 01/17/2008 - 10:51 AM Permalink
regman

no, BM.. I would never make you do an anagram
Thu, 01/17/2008 - 10:51 AM Permalink
brasscat

BM I think I got part of it a golf ball is made of rubber bands... so a band shell is part of it?

The other half is Merry maids?
