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

AWESOME info from PP board:

Gillette Razors former CEO was JAMES M. KILTS

Well that would certainly seem to cement the Gillette argument.

Do remove no snow Phalen Park.

That also works

That anagram has something to do with Phalen Park. But is it telling us to dig there, or not to dig there?

Just got a call from Chris Digger. He and Jake saw someone who claimed to find it but wouldn't show it to them. They're not sure if it was real or not but we have our first claim of the year that it's been found.

    You have to remember, last years hunt counts as 2 years worth of hunts and considering with as popular the hunt is now it has to be a big park.

    Anagrams have been popular with line 4 on clue 6 but this is my take on it from last night.

    Look sharp now and never mope

    Move snow on rode Phalen Park

                     -

     The word rode (Rod) means. A rope, one attached to the anchor of a small boat.

    Phalen has a boat house and landings on the lake but did not find a thing today hunting. Also looked at Como, nothing. It's a stretch but all to their own..

     :grin: :grin:

    Do remove no phalen park snow = At Keller or maybe somewhere else.

    Has anyone anagrammed all the other clues? Maybe they are giving us a NOT for each one with a golf course. :goofy:

    Big G

    Well, if this is anything like the Phalen hunt, these clues are basically "phalen" "phalen" "phalen", etc. until the last clue. Blech.

    From the PP boards:

    The heinous act is absolutely a reference to Soucheray's comments. The reason why they would use it again.. and why this time it's Phalen and not Como.. Soucheray made reference to a School in his comments. If you know anything about the history of that school (as I do since I went there), it was originally called St. Andrew's. The french school name that it had in 2003 translates to "Star of the North." This school was moved to a location on the south side of Phalen Park on Arcade St..... Much was built in the name of the Kilt.. The original name of the school, St. Andrew's, is also the name of the golf course that the British Open is played on.. and guess what.. St. Andrew's is in Scotland. Meaning that the school was original "built in the name of the kilt"

    The book reference is for the school, not a library.

    Stop your wishin.... What do you wish on? A star.. The name of the school is currently Star of the north.

    regal runt. obviously this is a reference to the poem written by gustafson. The name of phalen's hockey rink is "Gustafson Phalen."

    Get on the mission.. this is a little hazy, but if it is a reference to Mission impossible star Peter Graves, it would suggest that there are graves that are visible from the location of the medallion.. Zion Cemetery is visible from the school. Also, Peter Graves was born in duluth.. and duluth street crosses Ivy on the east side of the lake.

    Stick to your nose.. what do people stick to their noses? a spoon. Less than half a block away from Gustafson Phalen arena, California street comes to an end. Look at any map and tell me that the end of that street doesn't look EXACTLY like a spoon. It points directly into the school that is "Built in the name of the kilt," and directly into the boundaries that were referenced in the first few clues.

    Last night only one person could get access to the wireless signal at a time. Not sure why that was.
    Fri, 01/25/2008 - 3:13 PM Permalink
    Big G

    Ah yes....but that would be if they still lined up the clues to match an exact point. Definitely some good thoughts there!
    Fri, 01/25/2008 - 3:15 PM Permalink
    Big G

    an exclusive club....HA! that's awesome. if they ever refer to the book in the clues...well...i guess we'd all have to buy mappy a drink!

    Big G

    what are the thoughts on doing something rash? I like the wise gal and guys thoughts on referring to the streets, but what would you have to do that is rash at phalen? you know...besides trying to scale your way down a huge hole in the ground. :wink:
