LL, I think trick bikers and bmx type bikers use the term "stick" the same way as in gymnastics, as in they "stick the landing." bikers may shorten it up a bit to be hip and cool

Well I'm an Aquarius. We're naturally helpful people. I'm guessing you must be a Capricorn Map Guy.

Well, Slick, re: "brown dwarf"---that would tie in with the place PP stuck it where the "sun aint' shinning"; I think you might be on to something. any dwarfs hanging around parks lately?

Actually, the next thing to watch for is them NOT giving us street names. Kellogg Blvd would be rather obvious. And out of Wabasha, Cedar, Minnesota, and Robert, I don't think any of them border any other parks. So to give even one street name would pretty much give away the park if it's there.

Something I've been working on and should spill to maybe help the group; I freely admit that at this point it is a strech:

Clues 3 and 5 have been rolling in my brain together since yesterday.
"cipher" being the cryptographic system in which units of plain text of regular length, usually letters, are arbitrarily transposed or substituted according to a predetermined code.

In clue 5 we have the number 1 on one line and the numbers 2 and three together on another line. If we intreperet this to mean that 1 stands alone and 2 & 3 are together, we now have 1 and 2+3 = 5.

E is the 5th letter of the alphabet and A is the 1st. So instead of triple E, we have triple A.

wAbAshA.

Some logical leaps in there I realize. Anyone able to make some additional progress with it?

Aha! It's up the butt of a brown dwarf who's been hanging around Cherokee!

What we need is a foot of snow and some easier clues.

You got that right, Allison!

Not bad, Towel! but where doesn't the sun shine around there? IS that a "throw away" clue ?

Map Guy

It's up the butt of a brown dwarf who's been hanging around Cherokee who has only 2 fingers on one hand and 3 on the other.

Do you think we would be having a snowless hunt if the Weatherball was there? Of course not.

I thought all stars were basically spherical. How can it be shaped like the Nile?

At this point I'm not throwing anything away.

Reg! Any luck other than the kick out? You think it's there anymore?

Map Guy

I'm still not sure about this. Which of the Dwarf's hands has 2 fingers?

you dildos are not going to find at home

and you're out on the hunt? Why are you using Jake's name?

KC0GRN

Still it does warrant another look, although I heard people were looking there till 5 am and didn't come up with much, getting pretty discouraged and all.. someone said the fields were all locked up
