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

Nope, It was the year it was in Oreo Cookies

I"ll never 4 get that year

Brass Monkey had the puck that year and I made him throw it away.

I knew it was at Phalen but never grasped the clue

"They got there in Packards and Reo's

Package of Oreo's

I just took the clue as One of the Oldest Parks In St. Paul ( because you were driving in a Packard or a Reo car )

Monkey was only 3 years old.

Dug at Keller most of the day. West of 61 started at spoon lake and worked my way south.

I found an old safe that had been broken into and dumped in the park. I still have the dial, I wonder if the crooks rinsed off their prints.

I found a beverage bottle. DNA. I. have never heard of it. it is some kinda wine cooler. has a big pink fingerprint on it, which is what I saw fisrt, got my heart going.

I was thinking you pitch a tent, so i thought of a pitcher's mound, pitching horse shoes, a pitching wedge...

I didn't see anyone at the parks

bossard park in WBL has an Arbor drive by it. not much else fits.

Oh, thanks. Big help!

NOT.

Tim who? Where's membership fees and donations?

Never mind. I'll figure it out myself. Had I known what to do I'd not have asked in the first place.

back from dinner, I see the oroeo story has made its way to the board.

Green, you feel Battle is the choice. My wife and I were there yesterday. we were the only ones there. It does make sense. hopefully tonight will tell us the park.

All slogged up and getting ready to head down to Matty B's too in a few.

We scoped out Central too, Keller, and Highland, and Linwood (hey, it's my park pool pick, had to check), nothing sang out "it's here".

Mad D -- you may be onto something.

It's really eating at me that there's been NO mention of "park" or "St. Paul".

Green - it is exactly what we were told to have people do. I don't have those controls. That is controlled by Tim or Mark at Ableminds.

BTW - he is on the wall and I have contacted Tim. I have also egrammed Conrad and welcomed him and told him what he might expect as far as getting full access if he doesn't have it already.

I'm seriously tempted to bail out on Matty B's

- I missed my morning coffee while scouting the park, and I now have the no-caffeine hangover. Feels like someone is pulling my nose and the back of my skull off at the same time.

There's disc golf, a lot of ground to cover if looking 4 the puck

It's off of County road C

County road C and Rice Street is the nearest big intersection

It has a nice playground for kids

It has hockey rinks

at least it did last time the puck was there.

It's a nice park

Close to me

I'm for any park close to me :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

I *see* C is the way to go, to my way of thinking. Hhhuuummmm...

I don't know how to find things on The Internet and tweak them and do things with them like with Photoshop and all. Digger did my avitar for me because I don't know how to do stuff like that, like you.

Conrad's been spending days out there. I think he's close but needs to move just a titch south and west a wee bit.

I did initially, but when I drove into it today, just wasn't looking like what I thought this last Clue should look like. I spent all my time there last year. Gorgeous park. You feel like you're way out in the boonies. I really like Acorn. Just even for General Porpoises.

Might as well drop in and say hello. Checked out a few parks today, but nothing really stood out. If there were a golf course at Swede Hollow I'd probably feel pretty stongly about that park, as a bunch of other stuff fit.

Drove by Phalen, Keller, Wakefield but only saw a few people out there and nothing really stood out to me.

Was going to head out to Matty B's tonight, but the kid's nap schedule just didn't work out. So now we're going to hunker down and watch Sopranos for a couple hours till the next clue hits...
