Duke, the famous man could be Milton though its a couple of blocks farther down than I would have expected. I thought they would mention Kilburn. Anyway, I've got to make a call and then I'll probably leave in about 20 minutes, after I gather my gear.

I think Milton was about 860, but its on the same block of Como Ave. Anyway, looks like I've got to go and get me some treasure. Avast ye mateys! By the way Duke, Allison is my last name so I hope you weren't expecting a cute woman, but hopefully money will compensate.

what tomb?

Thu, 01/28/1999 - 11:36 PM Permalink
FOOLED YA

I figure it this way.

10,000 g's They don't want a bunch of nuts tearing up any small park so they'll dump us all out in the midlle of the playground to pick at snow chunks.

just like carver 28 yrs. ago on the fifty yard line

I'll let ya know the rest after I go to BC to get a few laughs

theres probably a famous person that you can fit into every park, the earlier clues are the ones that need to be deciphered.

A TOME IS EITHER A CUTTING INSTRUMENT OR A LARGE OR SCHOLARLY BOOK, I.E. ENCYCLOPEDIA
