I personally haven't found "newell" anywhere in tomes. History books, and encylopedia's are so huge though.....I could just have the wrong version. Perry Como

was a famous singer.....

Iconoclast is NOT another work for devil, I don't see the connection. Though it's almost to the point where I'm going to Newell tonight just in case!

JUst a few years ago it was found after clue #6!

lildebi--Newelll is several blocks from University Ave--Would be kind of a stretch. It's not one of the bordering streets, and usually PP likes to use ones that

border.....

Is HP out of the question? Me and my crew think everything points there, sledding, schools, church, disc golf course, etc., etc. Any insight? Going there tonight.

Yes you can see it form hang on a sec.......you can see it form about 3 different spots but only the long pole sticking up from the top of the building. Im thinking

tonights clue will be more specific if not then youll just have to wait untill a couple days before the last clue im guessin

Adress of Newell park is 920.....I realize this is nitpicking, but I would like 954 to be exact...It would have been just as easy go with 920.

NEWALL IS TOO SMALL, YOUR GOING TO CRASH AND BURN IF YOU GO TO NEWALL!!! I PERSONALLY THINK CLUE 4 MEANS,

STUDYING THE PAST, BATTLE CREEK ELEMENTARY USED TO HAVE OLD PORTABLE CLASSROOMS, BUT THERES VAKLUE AS WELL IN

THE NEW, THAT REFERS TO THE NEW CLASSROOMS THEY JUST ADDED ON

Well Dan, sometimes people are spreading DISINFORMATION to get a competitive andvantage, or sometimes they are bouncing ideas of their fellow hunters. If I

told you for a fact that it was in Highland Park, do you really think that would help? That's a lot of real estate to cover.....

Cristopher Cambell, sounds like you're trying to lure people away from Newell so it won't be as busy. Tonight I'll either be At Newell or BC-I'll be the one singing

the Rockey song out loud and carrying a "predator" movie case with the medalion in it!

If people would go back to the iconoclastic clue. It definitely is a person who tears or TORE down a religious institution. How many have there been? Forget all the

other explanations of iconoclastic and focus on the religious aspect of it. If you figure that out, you'll get to the area of the city it's in.

Another clue--the park is bordered by a house with the address 95

and another house with the address 4.

That's all the clues for NOW! THE ONLY REASON I'M TELLING, IS BECAUSE I'M GETTING SICK OF BEING THE ONLY ONE DIGGING THERE!
