Richard: I e-mailed you a few months back, when you posted in the old board. My grandma and grandpa were Rose and Carl. Sent you an e-mail with a little bit of family history.

I also e-mailed back and forth with Brian last year during the hunt. He's about the same age as my sons.

The clues are more difficult this year that's why....not many people any where. We're all waiting for the most obvious clue to zero in on one park.

Jesus may have been one of the biggest iconoclasts in history, and look at all the battles fought on behalf of Christianity. Yet I think the connection between iconoclasm and battles is a bit too thin to be a useful clue.

does anyone else have a hunch toward the capitol mall? the 'past' could be the somewhat new history center

it says "studying the past can BE a blast" not "blast from the past" (correction)

Birdie - remember our deal last night. He who seaches for what is found - must buy the "4" CLUB at least one round.

The capital mall is not a park, going to same place as last night

That's it! They chopped the medallion into bits and hid all over the city. So to earn $10,000 you have to find all the pieces and put them back together again!

Those are my thoughts, I really have to lean toward a large park right now. Phalen, Battle Creek, or HP.

I think some people are trying to mislead others on here

Hey, shucks. Thanks for the compliment, Mo-Info. Yes, now I remember Eagle Eye and our brief correspondence. Good luck to all. The night has just begun! Snore..... Can't e-mail to Brian, BTW. He's in Spain studying abroad with SJU. He feels bad he can't be here but is loving the siestas!

We just got back from newell park. Not too much happening there ( about 10 people ).The place is pretty well dug up though, much more than yesterday. I'm so confused.....I need to get a beer, eat some pizza and wait for the clue. Maybe they'll screw up and post it early again. That'd be sweet!

I don't mean to criticize anyone's brainstorming, but maybe this will help. When you're trying to interpret a clue, pretend that you're the person writing the clues. Again, I don't actually mean to pick on anyone, but for example, if you wanted to suggest a word like battle, would you do so with a word like iconoclast? If you can think like a writer has to think, you can narrow down the results of your brainstorming.
