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

However, *I* would never kick him outta MY bed for eating crackers or any...
Oh, never mind!
Sex on two feet. Yup. Yummy.
OK, couple things..
1. No 3M from Cherokee... I've been all over that park and I know for a FACT you can't see 3M from anywhere in it
2. Anybody think this clue references Lexington?
In a renowned speech, Humphrey told the 1948 Democratic National Convention, "The time has arrived in America for the Democratic Party to get out of the shadow of states' rights and walk forthrightly into the bright sunshine of human rights," winning support for a pro-civil-rights plank in the Party's platform.
Is there something in BC? for a buck?
Where would that fit into our clues?
Of Mason jar's
Oh! SCOTT....
I just need to stay calm. In a few days this will all be over and the mind will be outta the grips of THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
And no more temper-tantrms! :sillygrin:
Believe it or not, Ripley street runs into lake Palen on the Northeast edge...
aside from maybe Get into the game (Metrodome), its all free (Humphrey)
but that's quite the stretch
it's just like saying "Believe it or not, our puck is invisible"

"Doe, a deer... A female deer."
No, bears. Otay. UNCLE Ittiz CoNo. Now, can we just go there and find the damn Medallion????
A young representative from Minesota named Hubert H. Humphrey led the fight for the plank. So successful was Humphrey, that Thurmond, and others, bolted the Democratic Party, to form the Dixiecrats for a time, as a short pause on the way to the Republican Party.
For many of us who had any feelings about the Vietnam War, Humphrey represented the worst that any politician could descend to, even worse than Lyndon Johnson.
Yet, upon my more mature reflection, the political scene in the United States just passed Humphrey by. This, of course, is always happening. And we are the lucky ones who see this, and take precautions.
Humphrey died of cancer. It was known months before he actually died. He was being treated as dead long before he was dead. And he knew it.
I remember a news report of him, at the unveiling of a statue, near the end. He was quoted on the toll chemotherapy taken on him, and on what remained of his life.
He said, "There is so much left to be done."
Hubert H. Humphrey, one of the great political tragedies of our age.
Did someone here point <shudder> (that word's gonna drive me nutz in the ensuing years like dome, demo, mode do now) out Jack Frost is the "Jr." king; King Boreyourass the "Sr." King? I think they did, or something close to it. That came up over on Mom Press' boards.

metroDOME. The concerventory has a dome.
I'd rather do Como than BC though
Interesting - I have met Seitu Jones a few times related to things in our neighborhood.
BC rather than CoNo.
Then toward home, decided to do a loop around Marydale. Pulled in the dead-end street just past the playground, maybe Geranium, and Em says "Look! A tree bent over like a tent!". So I did a 360, ran into a snow bank, and pulled my front bumper cover off on one side. Of course, I didn't know what I'd done, just that there was this horrible scraping noise....figured I'd lodged a branch under there (underwear)....her "tent" turned out to not be much of a tent, more like a brush pile, but it was sort of down in a small depression.
What put me to drive through there was the high and low clue, sometimes you think of "over hill and dale". So we turned east on Maryland, and pass Kent St. and realize that rhymes with bent and tent.
Nothing remotely related to Washington (buck), Mason, or Lincoln. I am WAY sleep deprived over analyzing!
