The box does not necessarily have to get wet. Besides, I think it's in a MOUNDS candy wrapper.

I do have one question about Cherokee that's bugging me. It seems in clue #5, they are hinting that the streets nearby have the words "way" and "place"...I dunno, maybe I'm reading into it too much.

I don't think it would be in Irvine Park - it's too residential - things could get destroyed by diggers.

Just left Cherokee. Didn't see where it could be hidden. All trees are dug up as well as benches. No where else to look at Cherokee. Although, Mounds also is dug up. Take a look at the previous clues in the year's past. The author always hinted at the item it is in. Hostess sno ball, white box, white almond bark, etc. Any thoughs?

the clue say that it's in a neighborhood. But I guess all the parks have neightborhoods around them. Just making Suggestions. Just looking at the map and it fit's every single clue. But the majority of the clues fit in any of these parks in this map book.

I second Pocket's motion!

Let's keep things down to earth. The whole idea here is to exchange hints or ideas. Not to attack fellow hunters.

By the way Pocket, I live on the WS, but I grew up on the ES.

As I said, Cherokee has a lot of the clues. However, no place to hide it until possible Clue #7.

Why are you apologizing, Pocket???????

Hey Desire, a little constructive criticism helps hone our clues from general, idiotic suggestions to precise, finely-tuned directions. If everyone has to struggle to defend their suggestions, we can discover which suggestions are truly worth pursuing, as we hunt for the mother lode.

I think I'll wait for mature people to exchange helpful hints. Name calling gets us nowhere quick.

Do you think by saying "if you're on the wrong track" the author is trying to actually steer us away from any train tracks - saying there are no tracks in the vicinity?

I found something at Mounds Park yesterday. Anyone want to know what it was?

I think it's at Mounds. You have smoke, railroads, and all that other good stuff.

Get ready now. Prepare yourself. What I found was....are you ready..... SNOW! Lots and lots of snow! Oh, and something else that would piss everybody off.
