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.

It would be better if I found the medallion! :cool:

Seriously, lots of hard work and many hours out there.
If the medallion was thrown in the snow naked than good luck to the one who nicks it. Hopefully its wrapped in a white washcloth like clue one sounds like.
We are having fun AW.
:ooh:
not use the clean white washcloth?
come up short if too close to port=away from river....
last clue: from up on high: IMP we bid the coin adeau..threw it off the cliffs into:
Bruce Vento sanctuary..
VG: worth a try...that's where the great falls were ten thousand years ago.,,
also it flew: Airport Holman field can be seen from Bruce Vento...
:sillygrin: :sillygrin: :sillygrin: :sillygrin: :sillygrin:
Bandshell is modeled on the shape of a Chris-Craft.
the walking paths crisscross in flattened circles
that look like x's. Mound's graves and tower are visible,
as are hospitals, federal buildings, west publishing,
kellogg (cereal as health food originally).
well it sounds like cluey had fun at least :wink:
Seriously... :pbpt:
oh wait that doesn't sound right :litesmile:
clocked in my 2 morning hours. saw no one.. :angry:
thing that bugs me the most, dome clue only applies to where it flew "from" not where it "landed" considering no one was actually standing at the spot it landed.
thing that bugs me the 2nd, there are plenty of park "lights" around but only a few "street" lamps, if i were to take things literally...
park guy was giving me the stink eye again today
From up on high we bid the coin adieu.
There will be no hints for we left no prints

ummm, jake if you threw from the high bridge, we're screwed.. :goofy:
That would seriously freak me out. And yes, I would look in a grocery sack near a trail in a park. I know you would too. Although, it wouldn't stop me either, and neither would it for you.

gotcha.
Well, my park theory wasn't right (although Marley still thinks it could be) but sounds like my hiding theory was, so theres that. Good luck everyone!
applause and whistles...
Way to go CM (and Me2 I assume is taking the pic)!
