2008 St. Paul Winter Carnival Medallion

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'm heading for the covers. I need to be horizontal and get some shut eye.

Goodnight and SCDs to coolerheads everywhere!

Leave the lights on - others will come later.

I'll leave some hot chocolate on the stove.

I anagrammed the last line of the clue (with BFG's help), but don't have my notes with me. I'll try to reproduce it here. It doesn't make a ton of sense, but maybe someone else can do something with it:

None Benefit The Highland Shovel

or

One Benefit Then Highland Shovel

Or something like that. I'm tired.

I'm trying to decipher devil. One of these clues has a cypher crying out the park name.

The best anagram I came up with for the last line that relates at all to this clue is:

Highland is not even bent, Elf He Ho!

LOL

If it's your bent you might seek a tent

I see the 'a' still in there

seems to be another anagram

anagram or perhaps a reference to a street / business nearby?
Sat, 01/26/2008 - 12:21 AM Permalink
40below

Some anagrams for that line:

Choose Two Acres, Net Profit (that would be an awfully small park)

Neat Crew to Choose Profits (I'll volunteer!)

Choose a Tit Tree, Cop Frowns

I don't think there's an anagram in that line, lol

Yeah, my wife said there was a decent amount at Phalen/Keller, about two dozen that she saw...

Off to bed, hopefully I'll dream up the answer to all of this instead of the offbeat medallion dreams I've been having, lol

Sorry I had to run out on everyone at the PP tonight, but I had a hunch I just had to run to and check out right away. It didn't pan out, but I just HAD to check it.

You didn't think they'd dawdle this long, and then give it away for the masses who come out on weekends did you?

I like Maple wood out of this clue too.

I'm only been hunting for 3-4 years. Some of your that have been at this longer, how often to they have a clue that is not # 1 or #12 that is 8 lines long.

My first thought when I saw that last night was that Phalen/Keller was wrong and they were providing more information in this clue to try to get the masses into the right park.

Is that possible?

this may be way out there but another word for bower is arbor: there is some senior living apartments by marydale named Arbor pointe apartments, not sure if any of the other clues would fit there, I'm not hunting this year, just don't have the time or gas money for it. thought I'd throw it out there just in case :smile:
Sat, 01/26/2008 - 6:15 AM Permalink
OT

Maybe bower refers to an archer and not a structure.

Then guise could ge-eez.

I'm thinking... Baseball field.

"Take note ofthe wood and do what you should to extract the prise for yourself. Leave nothing behind on the shelf."

Home run, 'clear the plates.'

Lina and I are looking to get out and about with the little one today. Got a few ideas to check out, but I'm wondering where everyone else will be today so we can stop by and say hello...

Terry

Hey Stallion - I think we will be at Phalen/Keller, Wakefield, BC, Cherokee and Highland - in no particular order.

I've got to start posting more. I can't believe I only have 24 posts...

25 with this one!

MedallionStallion

Yeah, we are thinking along those same lines. Also Swede Hollow, mostly because Lina wants to check it out, but also because she had an interesting thought regarding Sinnen St. and "Devil" from clue 1.

Anyone think about that the MN State Motto is (in French) "Star of the North"? Could this be why the CW wanted to use that clue again? Instead of reffering to the school this time reffering to the state motto?
