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 cant seem to get my mind from Guys and Dolls
where the girls are called Miss Adeliade and Miss Sarah
Luck Be A Lady
it amazes me how newer the place looks with the siding and additions.
But almost every year there seems to be history with Native somehow..
Our caves were full of artifacts down by the river.
and of course that's what Mounds park is all about.
if it hasnt been mentioned yet.... her name was MISS Harriet Bishop
does she have a connection with any other park?
like her honeymoon house is across from Irvine Park.
Did you know they Holed up in Roseville
Or so I was told by my Grandmother years ago.
Now I'm trying to research what she told me
and I can't find anything on it.
Yes but I can't remember
Anyway both SSP and WSP are Dakota county.
And an inadvertent personal Joe!
could be harriet, crosby, hiddenfalls
why would they give this to us on clue 2?
seems too easy
The Karpis-Barker gang became one of the most notorious and prolific criminal gangs of the 1930s. They did not hesitate to kill anyone who got in their way, even innocent bystanders. They began robbing banks and hijacking mail deliveries, but with the influence of Karpis in the criminal equation, they turned to the more lucrative field of kidnapping.
In 1933 they carried out their first kidnap. The unfortunate victim, William Hamm, was a wealthy Minnesota brewer and was ransomed for a startling $100,000. Shortly afterwards, Minnesota banker Edward Bremer, Jr., was also kidnapped and his ransom brought the gang even greater money at around $200,000.

William Hamm.... Hamm Brewery... Swede Hollow!!!
Something about not such a White Christmas...
Was blatantly obvious on clue #2
Wouldn't put it past them to do it again.
I'm going to hit the sheets.
Goodnight and SCDs!
I was trying to tie in knocking down poles there... even though I am very sure that it was only intended to be a search don't destroy clue...
goodnight everyone
I was gonna go in to work for a bit tomorrow but I think I will be out hunting instead - besides tech. my office is closed due to the holiday anyhow. :wink:
Crosby was much bigger than Harriet though, thats why I think its early to give it to us
could be Hidden Falls again with Minnehaha (the girl)
I need to go drive...
"The Ma Barker gang planned its two most notorious crimes, the kidnappings of William Hamm Jr. and Edward Bremer, at separate apartments within four blocks of each other near the corner of Grand and Dale. Dillinger lived just down the street, at the Lincoln Court Apartments near Lexington and Grand. He and his girlfriend, Billie Frechette, shot it out with FBI agents on Lexington Avenue in March 1934. Just two months before, the Barker gang had kidnapped Bremer at the corner of Lexington and Goodrich, only two blocks south."

This could tie in to alot of historical places since St. Paul was such a haven for gangsters.
Nice find tatergirl!
I really like the mobster idea...
(I'm still slogging so forgive me if this has already been mentioned)
Hints from Helouise? Dear abby, Condy Rice?
smartest woman Marilyn Vos Savant if you base it IQ-wise.
Vos Savant was listed in the 1986 to 1989 editions of the Guinness Book of World Records under "Highest IQ."
Maryland ST (merilyn)
A "wise guy" is slang for a gangster or mobster
So a well known female ganster that has strong historical ties to St. Paul is Ma Barker and her "boys" as they were known. Lots of areas this could tie to.
 Now to narrow it all down...
rinse off=showers
go to the devil= devil island
Point (on the) Miss
gal who is wise (Hariette Bishop)
all the male boat names- I dont see where it says there has to be only one gal/boat
