This is a nonprofit activity meant to
add further enjoyment to a beloved St. Paul, Minnesota hobby and
tradition. The clues are the real focus of this puzzle and without
them there's really no point in pursuing all else that follows. The
clues belong to the Pioneer Press. I don't want to be shut
down for republishing them. In no way am I trying to steal for
personal gain. I just want to help spread the love. Detailed info:

Clue 1
Published on January 20,
2008
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
Published on January 21,
2008
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
Published on January 22,
2008
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

2008
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-its all free
Clue 5
Published on January 24,
2008
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
Published on January 25,
2008
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
Published on January 26,
2008
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
Published on January 27,
2008
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
Published on January 28,
2008
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
Published on January 29,
2008
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
Published on January 30,
2008
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 — not a 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
Cooler Crew Cachers feel strongly that winters are here to
stay in Minnesota. We feel that the citizens of Saint Paul and
neighboring communities should take advantage of this situation by
participating in the winter activities that are available in our
communities. Rather than hide from winter, people should go out and
have fun in it. We encourage everyone to live by the
Cooler Crew Cachers credo:
DON'T
HIBERNATE...CELEBRATE
