2008 St. Paul Winter Carnival Medallion

Submitted by KITCH on

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

My Favorite Things from Sound of Music. "Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes.." Tying that in with "it might just stick to your nose".

a bit off level = 'live to baffle' or 'evil to

if its the similar medallion - one of coolest things I ever did with it was take a shower.... my point.... it was beautiful and clear and practically invisible. I think it could be under water.

I know this picture doesnt do it justice because you can still see it but Ive never seen anything make me feel like I was holding something out of Lord of the Rings before- so precious

I like PhalenKeller, but still early. I like it because of the archery ranges, a woman who is wise(keller) The golf course. the stream and the wtr. Also like the fact that there is frost st. As far as the puck is invisible, I think it might be that they just hid it in ice or nothing at all, so dont bother to look for a package

I'd still be amazed if these clues are that specific yet. Unless the cluewriter wants a quick hunt, or they are that confident in their hide holding up, I just don't see them naming the park yet.

From the press boards, i think this has been covered.

The name Sophia in Greek means WISE, WISDOM.

If you look at the northern area of Phalen you'll notice notice a group of streets (ALL GUY NAMES: Walter, Frank, Edward, Ripley, Gordon) and they all surround SOPHIA St.

OK, so the board has slowed down a bit for the day. I'd like to take a poll on who is slogging at work and who is slogging at home?

I'm at work myself

If it's something I have to set, then I know I'm set wrong, but I don't have a pop-up box. Any other way I can become visible?

Just got back from a drive through of Keller, Phalen, and Spoon Lake. Ran into Zephrys at Spoon Lake. Saw maybe 3 searchers at Phalen. None elsewhere.

I was wondering about that. Asked Zehp, but he didn't recall. Parking lots were plowed out completely, curb to curb. Since we haven't lived here in many years, I don't now what's normal? Spoon Lake is not plowed.

Home. But I wouldn't consider myself to be noodling.
Tue, 01/22/2008 - 1:29 PM Permalink
KC0GRN

I don't think they're plowed because of all the construction work that went on in that park this year.

If it's there, there might be a dual purpose meaning to the "keep out of construction areas" rule...

I'm at home, but just got up from a nap. But I woke up from a dream that I had come home from vacation and forgotten to go back to work! It was so real, I woke up and was confused and thinking, wow, I got home from vacation in July! :sillygrin:
