13th Annual Rehash Bash and Other End of the Winter Carnival Festivities 

Sunday, January 31, 2010 
Newell Park Pavilion 
900 N. Fairview Ave. 
Saint Paul, MN 55104 
11:30am-2:30pm 

The 13th Annual Rehash Bash will be held on Sunday, January 31, 2010, at Newell Park, from 11:30am to 2:30pm. As always, its a potluck, and since we\'ve got the building, there will be plenty of power indoors for crock pots. Donations will be accepted to cover the $136 cost for renting the facility. MrMnMikey has some door prizes available. Since this isn\'t Super Bowl Sunday this year, if people want to stick around past the 2:30 closing time, we can start a fire in one of the fire rings. 

In addition, many of us long-time Coolerheads are loyal servants of Vulcanus Rex. Join us for the Vulcan Victory Torchlight Parade, followed by the Vulcan Victory Dance. Information on the Parade Route is from the 2006 Vulcan Krewe. The best places for viewing the parade are going to be at the end of the parade route, as His Majesty, Vulcanus Rex LXXIII, the true King of the Winter Carnival, overthrows that other guy on the steps of the St. Paul Central Library, across from Rice Park

First Video - The Deed is Done 

When January’s slanting snow, 
Makes us dream of Mexico 
St. Paul emerges from Wintery sleep 
To search for treasure buried deep 

Notice to every hunting battalion, 
We have hidden the Pioneer Press Medallion 
Where? You ask in husky shout, 
That’s for us to know, and you to find out 

Turn off the tube, leave your hovel 
Grab your walking stick and shovel, 
Whether you be giant or runt, 
The only way is to join the hunt 

For to the hunter belongs the spoil, 
Hunt by day, or Midnight oil, 
Hunt in boot and sturdy glove, 
Hunt with pal, or old true love 

For you who hunt each and every year, 
We raise a lusty St. Paul cheer 
“Good Luck” 

And now, let us be blunt, 
Get off thy duff, and hunt, hunt, hunt
Clue #1 

All hail, O Fire King, of thee we sing 
Thy blast of winter heat scorches 
When ice was like concrete it would\'ve been so sweet 
If the Vulcans plowed with their torches 

Emerge from the den as we once again 
Offer a bodacious bounty 
And this tip to the frozen: bring thick lederhosen 
To public land in Ramsey County 

Clue #1 Video

Hear ye all crews, now come the clues 
For this task I am the Czar 
With each rhyming gift, this shape I will shift 
Listen well to each avatar
Clue #2 

Kissed by a Vulcan, she left him sulkin\' 
\"Sir Soot, I\'ll not forgive these sins!\" 
Her airs Elizabethan, her language, bleepin\' heathen, 
Our mother once blessed us with twins.
Clue #3 

Look high, look low, wherever you go 
Follow a picturesque route 
There are ways to travel away from the gravel 
That keep you in hot pursuit
Clue #4 

Code by Morse should set your course 
To long dashes that dot the landscape. 
You or your avatar should park your car 
On your way to this great escape.
Clue #5 

Take a westerly tack up from the stack, 
A landmark most uncouth. 
Figures grand in scale point to a trail 
Of footprints left by our sleuth.
Clue #6 

You\'ll want to go shopping where things are hopping 
And storeowners once dropped anchor 
Go down the main drag, but be sure not to lag, 
You\'ll have plenty for which to thank her
Clue #7 

Escape your troubles where the water bubbles 
Or gurgles like a stream. 
You may be chargin\' right up to the margin. 
Look for a productive seam.
Clue #8 

Down on the delta where there\'s no ice to melta 
The purple horde raids a golden legion 
Today before kick off the prize you\'ll pick off 
If you search in just the right region 

To find the seed, energy you need 
In search for your clues to glean 
What once was planted is taken for granted 
Stored in one of fifteen
Clue #9 

Not far from stones and ancient bones 
Lay clues that are fit for Jim 
Lure the egrets to yield all secrets 
And you should satisfy him 

Get your kicks by hitting the bricks 
Admiring the trees and view 
Be ever glad hopping pad to pad 
Like amphibians in\'52
Clue #10 

Stonehenge tumbled down near a crumbled town 
Not far from the lights of the city 
If you would hike away from the pike 
You might stumble on something pretty 

Upstream from the landing lay a place in good standing 
Where people prayed, God willin\' 
Now midst the cocklebur and rusted spur 
Is nothing by murder and killin\' 

This park is a sliver, from ancient beds to a river 
In neither is the prize to be found 
Look for the goods among timber and woods 
Do not dig in the fossil ground
Clue #11 

Go for a lark in Lilydale Park 
Between Water Street and the river 
The city boundary sign and the old rail line 
Define the zone that will deliver 

You\'re outside the pale if you\'re close to the rail 
It\'s not to be found near the tracks 
Be nice and cooperative, respect private property 
On public land launch your attacks 

Within this area lies medallion hysteria 
A tangle near the river - not too close! 
About four dozen paces from the waterline to places 
Where you should tromp, dig and freeze your nose

Escape your troubles where the water bubbles

Or gurgles like a stream.

You may be chargin' right up to the margin.

Look for a productive theme.

Ok, now I feel like the Pig's Eye puppet,with green holding a sword to my throat.

I joined Able Minds during Swede hunt

Born 1st year of treasure hunt

Grew up in Como area

green says I have to share, I'm not trying to change anyone's minds,these are just my thoughts, send your complaints to green.

Get your map and Streets book

I think it's at HI-

St.Paul was first called Pig's Eye,James Goodue wanted it called The Epistle of St.Paul-Avatar #6 Goodhue cut the name from Pig's Eye. He later ranted about the crooked city streets like Jesse Ventura did.He proposed capital punishment for the road engineers.He ran a ferry to West St Paul from 1850-1858.

1st vulcan king was Delos Monfort-Fire & Ice book

Check Delos St above HI, also ends at Bellows

Delos avoided a run on his bank by going to St Peter (St) city for cash.

Avatar Pre clue-I am the czar-Peter the Great was a Russian czar- St Peter St. Czar also means Caesar- part of Wabasha was renamed to honor

Ceasar Chavez

lederhosen- across the river from HI there is an old cut stone reddish building- it was the Germania (sp?) Bank. it had a huge statue of a German goddes above the door, it was taken down during WW1 to cleanse the city of German influence. Name is still carved in building-it's by Qwest and West.

Avatar #4 Soucheray in a chicken mask-there was a bar called Mamie Porter's Chicken Shack by the Bucket of Blood Saloon and the brothels.Or today, right below all that and the Science Museum there are 4 Phoenix looking birds-they live for 500 years,burn and rise from the ashes.

Avatar# gangster - criminals could escape St Paul across the river, police couldn't cross the border, used to be Dakota Cty before it was annexed to Ramsey.

If the Elizabethan, heathen is real, could it be Rosalie Bulter? Anyone remember her? I think she was on the city council from West St Paul.She looked so prim and proper but was ruthless.

I will add a few more later

The edge part has me thinking any park that borders the edge of Ramsey County. So could be Lilydale, River Blvd, Battle Creek, etc. Could also refer to Phalen, much like the famous green doughnut was right at the edge of St Paul and Maplewood

That would go along with someone's (i think Kcorn) noodle about how on maps borders are designated with dashes and dots.

Cherokee nears the border

Or margin could mean the river's edge.. so Harriet and Hidden Falls would still fit.
