TommyBoy- It's a different hunt than it was 15 years ago. The logic on NP is that the people running this thing would have enough brains this year to put it in a big park since it's worth about, lets just say, $6,000 more dollars. NP may be due, and I'm not counting it out, but I'm NOT convinced yet. I still say BP

Once upon a time there was a poor widow who lived with her son Jack in a little house. Their wealth consisted solely of a milking cow. When the cow had grown too old, the mother sent Jack to sell it. On his way to the market, the boy met a stranger. "I will give you five magic beans for your cow," the stranger offered. Jack was unsure and hesitated for a while but then, enticed by the idea of such an extraordinary deal, he decided to accept. When he returned home, his mother was furious and reprimanded him sternly: "You fool! YOU PEOPLE ARE WAY OFF THATS WHY YOU ARE STILL HERE ON YOUR PC'S! but goodluck.

BP may not directly be intersected by 94 and 5, but it is boxed in by 5, 94 and 494. Also, the number clue doesn't neccisarily implicate the nearest highways.

medalionstalion; the prize may be bigger this year, but to the folks from the newspaper who hide it, it's the same old winter carnival treasure hunt.

It was in CP just two years ago, the logic of como this year goes something like: and iconoclast might hide it in the same park twice in three years. . .
