Cluemaster: Uhhhh... where is "rosebud" park? that's worth looking

into....

Greenslvs2, most think the domes are the Capitol and the Cathedral. THe number one or first has been mentioned more than once too and probably refers to the 1st national bank building downtown.

Shawnster - maybe the double division means the split between East 7th Street and West 7th Street. But we are still heading out tomorrow to Cherokee! Good luck.

SueBee...Harding is on 3rd Street, between Johnson Parkway and White Bear Avenue.

Sat, 01/31/1998 - 12:22 AM Permalink
Terry

mode and demo unscrambled provides for two domes. I think one is the Cathedral the other is the capitol.

selma, is there a frog pond in dome park?

Okay...can anyone attempt to make the clues fit at Cherokee? I haven't considered that park up until now. I've never been there either.

SueBee

Green, oops, so right. First bank. You know what I mean.. the big red 1 on the building downtown. I wanna dig too, but too tired tonight. Hope it stays hidden till I find it tomorrow! :-)

to 3rd street west to germain north to 6th street west. Right

There is a set of RR tracks that splits in Cherokee. One set goes toward the NSP stack and one goes off to the left. It should be where the tracks cross water street. BTW I am 1170 miles away, so I'm only trying to help you guys.

That used to be a hospital...I believe it's an old folks home now. Double division...the only reference I can come up with is where the road divides near the KickOff Bar...

I know it's late, but where has the romance gone? You all seem so focused on the monetary prize....But remember -- the hunt's the thing!

Michael Kasal

I don't think you could rule out the number four. Say you take the #20 and divide it by two...than divide that by two...you get the number five....would that be double division??
