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

The problem with this masonic temple and George's bar theory is the fact that I drive past the Masonic temple on Plato every day on my way to work, and it's probably a half a mile away from Harriet

I was thinking the same thing, it seams too far. Unless this clue writer decided to finally pull his thumbs out of his $$$ and give a historical refrence to something you can see from a distance.

Masses will come out tomorrow. Cherokee/Harriet

I'm gonna hit the hay. Kids going to wake up in six hours and I have the morning shift...

Gknight everyone! Here's wishing everyone dreams filled with strange masonic symbols and signs. You'll wake up thinking you just came out of the movie American Treasure only it was the Medallion you were hunting for and George Washington hid it in a St. Paul Park 200 years ago to keep it safe from the invading British. We all have a lot to be thankful for because if the Brits were hiding the medallion every year the tabloids would have a field day...

Can you tell its late for me?... :goofy:

Plato turns into Walter [Walter Mondale]. You may be able to see the Masonic Temple from Chairokee.

green - Cherokee isn't any closer, but I guess you could see the place from -somewhere- in Cherokee

I was reading some of the clues from the 80's & 90's today - They were SO much simpler and yet they weren't overly easy, just enough to make things interesting

Damn internet!!! I'm convinced that's why this CW is tormenting us. Just look at the last line of the clue!!!!

This refers to a dollar bill. I can't see that it means anything yet, but it ties a lot of stuff together.

The wing feathers of the eagle numbering 32 and 33 represent the highest number of degrees conferred on a Mason passing through the Scottish Rite.

Your electrical problem sound like you got a serious short in the trailer hitch lights fixture. If you haven't checked your fuse box(es) for burned fuses, I would do that first - the lights are still off because one of them is probably overloaded & melted. If you have the melted wires cut apart and sealed again, you may just need to swap a fuse and save yourself a trip to the shop - for now.

Electrical stuff like that usually rears its ugly head in a factory recall - I'd check any /all recall web sites - you may have a free repair coming your way.

The Mason–Dixon Line (or "Mason and Dixon's Line") is a demarcation line between four U.S. states, forming part of the borders of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia (then part of Virginia). It was surveyed between 1763 and 1767 by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon in the resolution of a border dispute between British colonies in Colonial America. Popular speech, especially since the Missouri compromise of 1820 (apparently the first official usage of the term "Mason's and Dixon's Line"), uses the Mason-Dixon line symbolically as a cultural boundary between the Northern United :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

well it was in the harness that holds all of the wires where a trailer can be plugged in. we cut that off, replaced all the blown fuses because they kept popping because of short, but still no tail lights. So, we're going to replace all of the bulbs in case they blew because of the short.

If the clue writer is giving us a Masonic Lodge refrence; the more I think about it its to Como Park. This clue writer does not use landmarks in his writings, he's a person that loves to write. He's not going to say you can see this, he's going to give something as an example and its your job to relate it to the park.

Mason "The Line" Dixon (born November 21, 1982), played by real-life boxer Antonio Tarver, is the primary opponent of fictional boxer Rocky Balboa in the 2006 motion picture Rocky Balboa. His nickname references the historic Mason-Dixon line. Dixon bears a resemblance to real-life boxer Mike Tyson due to his ability to knock people out early. :smile:

Mason & Dixon, an epic postmodernist novel by Thomas Pynchon first published in 1997, centers on the collaboration of the historical Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon in their astronomical and surveying exploits in Cape Colony, Saint Helena, Great Britain and along the Mason-Dixon line in British North America on the eve of the American Revolutionary War.

Intermingled with Mason and Dixon's biographies, history, fantasy, legend, speculation, and outright fabrication, this novel offers not "the" story of Mason and Dixon, but "a" story of Mason and Dixon through the narrative focal point of one Rev. Wicks Cherrycoke, a reverend of dubious orthodoxy, who attempts to entertain and divert his extended family on a cold December evening — partly for amusement, and partly to keep his coveted status as a guest in the house.

I don't think you can...... you can see 3M from battle creek, right there off of McKnight, you can see the 94 bridge from there...

I think that Awadas is closed - they use to have one in Woodbury too - that one closed about 2002 I think. Their triangle-shaped window logo design did look suspiciously like a masonic symbol.
