This is the clue 4 two years ago. As you can see it was plain to most people that it was at Como.

For Wednesday, January 22, 1997 (Clue No. 4): He once led a state with a city most great But he's better known here without you A valuable find could be your fate If you decipher this punning clue

(Mario Cuomo is the leader and without "you" it becomes Como)

Okay, thanks- Anyone out there?

Those are not messages! go to a chat room - Here, I made on of my own : The Kids Table

More food for thought on NP

"numbers keep score" you record scores right?

reCORD/RECord a play on words from 1984? wasn't the medallion taped to a 45? I might be stretching..

What could the "treasure chest could end up full" mean other than being the medallion's container? What could a treasure chest in Newell be?

I AGREE WITH YOU ALL, BATTLE CREEK HAS CAUGHT MY EYE, I THINK IT MAY BE THE PLACE

christopher campbell

VICKI, IF YOU TAKE MCKNIGHT ROAD TO UPPER AFTON AND HEAD WEST, THEN AT THE STOP SIGN, TAKE A LEFT, MORE OF BATTLE CREEK PARK IS ON YOUR RIGHT, AND THAT IS THE PLACE THAT ALL THE CLUES FIT INTO

This may be a stretch but let me run this one by you guys: I have a book that most of you have probably heard of (St. Paul Parks A Treasure Hunter's Guide 1996) Anyway, on the cover of the book the author chose to put a map of Newell Park. Since new info. is always useful, can you think of any way that this could relate?

believe they may be numbers on the rec center, but also, there are 9 player to a baseball team, 4 players in tennis doubles, and 5 players in basketball, all of which are at the park, plus, there is feild 4, feild 5 and i don't know where the 9 comes in
