If you're not planning to be at the Rehash Bash, you can still register by sending me the money via Paypal to this email address or send me an email and I'll give you an address to send the check to.
I expect we'll get a big turnout this year so there should be some good competition.
Clue #1
It seems the PP had trouble you see
With many cries of things that went afoul
Were attacks baseless? You might think tasteless,
Some considered throwing in the towel.
With a hunt cut short plans had to abort
The poor kiddies just did not understand
But no need to fear, a new hunt is here
The Mock Hunt by Allison Wonderland
Let's be obvious, not so devious,
And say plainly it's in a St. Paul park.
Buried in the snow, you might want to know
At least ten paces to the closest mark
Clue #2
If this hunt's taxing, maybe relaxing
Would be nice off in a warm floral home
But like the big fall where once they played ball
You will not be able to spot a dome.
Clue #3
Hunters get surly when hunts end early
Leaving them hardly time to sit and eat.
Yet a reminder, a two time finder,
Well you'll see that he has no time for cold feet
Clue #4
Prove you're not knaves where towers by graves
Loom ominously on the horizon
Don't focus on wealth, take care of your health
An ill body can cause you to wizen
Clue #5
If treasure you seek, make your move oblique
You can no longer go to the castle
To show expertise stay close to the trees
And finding the coin will seem quite facile.
Clue #6
Digging in the cold or panning for gold
Is a hard way to come by quick riches.
Pick up a guitar, become a rock star
Soon you’ll be surrounded by…ladies.
Clue #7
A great house of law is not made from straw
Yet the pulse of a building can be stilled
Its stones not eschewed, their purpose renewed
For here yet is land on which to rebuild.
Clue #8
With some derring-do and a fearless crew
You could find treasure out on the open sea
But you’ll come up short if too close to port
So go starboard and stick around for tea.
Clue #9
So where do you go with all of this snow?
You might be driving in circles by now.
Best look for a boat, one that does not float
And steer away from its snow covered bow
Clue #10
On a snowy night, by a street lamp’s light
From up on high we bid the coin adieu.
There will be no hints for we left no prints
You see, that night, the medallion, it flew.
I believe a person could see at least the cathedral dome from there though.
We've had a mock hunt at Marydale.
A great deal of that park sits fairly low to the surrounding neighborhood. It might be worth a look-see to see what's visible off on the horizon.
Phalen also has Ivy, Hyacinth, Orange, etc nearby. Where would the graves be there in the distance with towers?
I initially was thinking church towers and Oakland cemetery when I read tonight's clue. I know Magnolia runs down the northern end of that cemetery, but can't think of any parks really nearby, except for the now defunct Sylvan rec center.
The Front Rec Center is close to Calgary.
What is the name of that park that can be seen off 35?
There is also the rec center at Lawson and Rice. Oakland is just east of Rice just about there...or maybe a bit south of there.
This is just a block west of Rice Stree near the area of the Capitol. Its not far from train yards, salvage yards, and a block north of an Xcel facility. Adjacent to the park is a 6 story high rise. Homes on the north and west sides. Views to the south offer a red and white striped antenna, the onion bulb steeple of St. Mary's Roman Orthodox Church, the tip of the capitol, and a grain elevator with one tower that is topped with a staggered edge as though it were a castle. Kind of small, but kind of secretly tucked into the neighborhood. Near Rice-Lawson Rec Center.
Maybe tomorrow...yeah, I said that last night :smile:
Don't focus on wealth, take care of your health
An ill body can cause you to wizen
Health club, health clinic, dental office, chiropractor, surgical center on Phalen Blvd.
Dayton's Bluff has Metro State University - where St. John's hospital used to be.
The 5th clue is posted above now though.
UGH!
Here is the new clue:
Clue #5
If treasure you seek, make your move oblique
You can no longer go to the castle
To show expertise stay close to the trees
And finding the coin will seem quite facile.
And the previous clues:
Clue #4
Prove youÂ’re not knaves where towers by graves
Loom ominously on the horizon
DonÂ’t focus on wealth, take care of your health
An ill body can cause you to wizen
Clue #3
Hunters get surly when hunts end early
Leaving them hardly time to sit and eat.
Yet a reminder, a two time finder,
Well youÂ’ll see that he has no time for cold feet
Clue #2
If this huntÂ’s taxing, maybe relaxing
Would be nice off in a warm floral home
But like the big fall where once they played ball
You will not be able to spot a dome.

At least ten paces to the closest mark
But those two guys only found it once.
There once was a white castle near downtown on west 7th if I remember correctly.
Not that any of this gets anywhere.
I like Kellogg for the 1st cemetery
I have a park in mind now, but I cannot get Clue #3 to work at all.
That is stretch that went way too far.
how many pp? cooler? aw board?
The 2 base ball fields have no bases on them
and trees on the mound near the baseball field
I think the clue would be to stay away from the picnic area and playground
Mounds are graves and next to the light radio tower?
thats all I got for their though
Kellogg is blocked by building so you cant see the domes
I think maybe the THEY clue is the TWINS = domes (not identical twins though)
This is a stretch but Jake lives by Battle Creek park (everyone knows that) - Kellogg Company is in Battle Creek, Michigan?
A park with no baseball or playground
Stay away from the Peoples Bank and the #1 - closer to YMCA for your health
Kellogg had a cemetery (bodies were eventually finally moved to Calvary Cemetery)
The White Castle box
There was one in 2009 at the Fair Grounds
A picture of it is here: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/18456141
No one reporting they have found the medallion yet. For that matter, no one reporting they have looked for the medallion yet. I don't expect many will with this cold, but it's supposed to warm up Friday and then I bet most everyone will be out over the weekend.
I was gonna go tonight but it's freezing out there!
clue 2 - it's not at como
clue 3 - it's not at como, jake doesn't have it but possibly a park where you can eat lunch? oh and 'sit and eat' anagrammed = satan diet
clue 4 - cemetery nearby and possible healthcare facility
clue 5 - it's not at fort snelling? oblique order, military move? fort = castle
so it's at highland? :sad:
high alcohol percentage joe..
