Is there a golf course in the park we are looking for or not?

Tue, 01/26/1999 - 2:01 AM Permalink
Bill King

hasnt said yet--just says stay away from golf courses

NICE BILL ....i like that

That is an interesting thought. Or, Highway five, and they have a golf course of nine holes. Nine and five, but were is the four?

Tue, 01/26/1999 - 2:02 AM Permalink
Barton Fink

think it means stay away from the golf course... which is separated from the actual park (highland) by a road... good job on the 94, 5 years ago... highway 5!!! runs past the park (highland)

think it is at a park near a golf course.....but on the other side of the park.....maybe at highland refering to the frisbee golf course there

hole #'s 4,5,9??????

Bill King

the 4 is what gets me too--unless meant to be"fore" the SHOUT on a golf course

Hah, you guys haven't talked with me before. I've had that profile pic for about a year now. :P

I've gotta wrestle with my phone for a bit before I go. :P I hate cell phones. I take that as a no from everyone? :)

Thought about the fore myself, but that is too many clues refering to golf.

Matt, I saw you in here last year.

Tue, 01/26/1999 - 2:05 AM Permalink

exactly--and they tell you to stay away from the courses

hey bryan .... read my post #2485 and see if you agree with my idea on the number 4.. (ignore the #2 line though.. i messed up on that one)

Is anyone thinking about any other parks besides Highland?

a store on highway 5 called ivvix which are the roman numerals of 4,5,9 all put together

lol!ani---did that too with roman numerals earlier--couldnt get anything out of it

Bryan D Whaley

Ani, where are you coming up with all of this? Barton Fink, I think you have a good explanation about the numbers, but I don't know if it would be as easy as a number on a door. Interesting thought though.

half a block from highland park, near the north side

dont know, there sure is a hell of a lot of snow out there. LONG LIVE MANKIND

was digging right where it was found last year(2 days before it was found) was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo close!!!!

Barton Fink

the clue makers have done the door number thing before... it just helped hunters stay in a certain area of the park though... the clue makers have also broken sentences in halves and correlated the first half with another sentences first and so on with the second half... i dont think the medallion is anywhere attached to said bulding with a 4 on it...i

bryan and i were right there too

Tue, 01/26/1999 - 2:13 AM Permalink
Bill King

we also have to get our minds to stop thinki9ng of the numbers in a golf course sense--they wont have anything to do with that

Tue, 01/26/1999 - 2:13 AM Permalink

bill your last message was 2[459] do you have the medallion??????

Tue, 01/26/1999 - 2:15 AM Permalink

im sure i walked on it last year... in 97 i was digging like mad 5 feet from where it was found... it was probably in a chunk of snow i shoveled and tossed 5 feet away...!! i think the thermometer read -20 that night...

lmao@ani(iwish)---does 94 hit highway 5 anywhere?
