Re: We Got Schooled
What if Vento is a red herring and all and there reference is to Paul A. Verret instead, the lesser known "good man"? The overlook bears his name, yes, but is
Re: Clue #9
We were perfectly happy with Harriet until Bruce Vento was mentioned. What if it is indeed still at Harriet and they wanted to try and get us out of there

Sorry, it's equal rights and PLACE in one sentence, not area. It's funny how your brain fills something in when you've convinced yourself something is true.
Re: Clue #9
So I am pretty convinced from clue 8 that it is in Cherokee. It basically gives it away from my reading of it, but Happy Holidays pair is still throwing me
RE: [The Allison Wonderland] Re: Samuel H Morgan? theme of the 201
I was thinking a RIGHT triangle with two legs of EQUAL length (sorry, he didn't give us pythagorean anywhere in the clue!) I don't know, I don't like it as
Re: Clue #9

Re: We Got Schooled

Re: We Got Schooled

Re: [The Allison Wonderland] Re: Samuel H Morgan… theme of the 201

Re: We Got Schooled
There's ice climbing at Bruce Vento overlook isn't there? Winter allows this and summer wouldn't
Re: park pick 9
I haven't had a chance to go back over all the posts since my last update, but I'm pretty sure Cherokee is full now and might have even been so before this
Re: Clue #9
P.S. I suck. I have a photo of my husband wearing a bright yellow jacket leaning up against that St. Paul the Capitol City sign as my screensaver. How many
Re: We Got Schooled
It is indeed clue 7 that has that rhyme. There aren't any others, but I do think that is what the first verse is referring to. There is Varret, but he
