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

they're closing Sylvan?

sad...

I hit my first homerun there, back when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade, playing for Duluth & Case.

I like the video clue twist as well as many have mentioned already. Makes me wonder if the first video had anything in it. As for the clue itself, most likely only says Ramsey Co. Also the first part obviously references our current warm streak, maybe reminding us that they don't write the clues a month ago, but edit them up to the day they publish it (aka, they could throw us off course if we seem to be getting close).

WHat the heck does this mean... really?

you didn't see the streets of mpls and st. paul after the christmas snowstorm and then the freezing rain. defintely made me wish the vulcs would have plowed with their torches.

For all the mess the roads have been since the Christmas snow storms, it would have been nice had the Vulcans, or anyone else for that matter, had used torches to get rid of the ice...especially on the side streets.

I think there is a bit more than Ramsey County within the double clue. Also note that it is not very often that we have a double clue for the first clue. 2008,2001,99,91.

Excluding 2007 2nd hunt due to them playing catch up.

1st clue is ok up there, but can we have a link to the rest of the clues when they come out on a differnt page. Too much scrolling otherwise.

The puck could be hidden in a thick German stocking.

Kinda early for the what it's hidden in though.

last snow storm it was warm and the city didn't plow right away. They waited a day because we were getting more snow. By the time they plowed all the slush was frozen ice on the roads and it's still there. Only starting to melt now.

Could be indicating that they hid it a while ago and it is almost certainly frozen in ice now...

There's a German St. in Maplewood. It kind of leads into Goodrich Golf Course which is adjacent to Goodrich Park. Doesn't seem too likely though. There's a Germain St. in St. Paul that goes into Prosperity Park, though that doesn't seem like a very likely place for it either.

and quite possibly forget everything you noodled because of the drinking so it'd be all new noodling anyway.

lederhosen is Bavarian/Alpine clothing more specifically. Maybe Battle Creek up in the area of the ski jump?

Thanks Terry, 3m, and Ares... That helps out immensely.

Although I keep singing to myself "of thee we sing" like to the tune of America the Beautiful.

 I wonder if my subconscious self is trying to tell me something'

Tell you what, Lederhosen doesn't look to fashionable. Don't think I would have them in my wardrobe.

When I first watched today's video, the guy in silhouette introduced it. Now he's not there. Anyone else notice this difference? I thought he mentioned something about paying attention to the avatar that was reading the clue. Seems odd that a viking character is reading it. Maybe also part of the clue?

me and Penny had that discussion this morning about the "of thee we sing". She said it reminded her of the song "we 3 kings" of orient are..christmas song. We have 2 kings...Boreas and Rex...who's the 3rd?

I thought of america the beautiful...

BTW, This may be the 1st time I've gotten her to actually noodle a clue...

Thats a good point. He said listen carefully to the following avatars...then the viking showed up. Are there going to be different characters in each clue? The 1st guy seemed like Alfred Hitchcock

The link in post 330 that I posted earlier today still has the bearded guy introducing the viking. I'd link it if I knew how.

Thanks to this first clue, i'm going to start using the word "bodacious", a lot more...

the still shows the viking, but as soon as you play it it goes to the other guy. Anyone have the transcript of what he says as an introduction?

I have listened to it a few times and I think I have the script. Please feel free to make any corrections.
