Hey Gold Digger. Eye wants to hear about this ski jump YOU supposedly live a block away from. Where

This last clue really threw me off, because of the translusent peak. I guess I just have to drive around and open my eyes to look for one, because I don't hear anyone

else with an idea they're willing to share about it . ..

Part 2 Yeah, I know, but the only clue that doesn't fit is Clue 2: Flying downhill can be quite a thrill And a popular outdoor attraction But your chances of winning are

nil If you get too close to the action

Or have you found out how to link this clue to Phalen?

nancy drew,

I went to Marriam first because I was SURE it was there. But when I got there at about midnight there was ONE guy there. I thought I missed the boat so we didn't

even get out of the car and moved on to HP (nothing) then to Phalen (nothing) and on and on and on....

ERIK----if you look south of the park a great big pointy thing is there and you can see through it

dont agree however....i belive that when you read the clue:Somewhere in here there's a clue quite clear, If you think first of trees in a line, From this a name

will appear, That could lead you to a valuable sign.... the trees in a line would be a hedge...and the name that appears starts with edge.....you take it from there

Part 2 of Meda…

o.k. in the 4th clue it says {If you're willing to be an iconoclast the treasure might belong to you}also Studing the past can be quite a blast, my thinking is go back to

the previous clues see what they say so if you go back to clue 1 when it says {A park is the spot but a golf course in not} MAYBE this is where the iconoclast

comes in. the thinking like an iconoclast like to clue says. iconoclast is someone who goes agaist the common reason, thought, idea, against the grain. that's why I

beleive its at a park with a golf course

Yes. We were there last in a final hope of a hint. NOTHING! And few people. But by then it was close to 2 am.

I know i am gonna get a lot of crap for saying this, but you just cant rule out como park, i believe there is a golf course, a big hill, i found the 954 there, the

conservatory as the learning center and the translucent peak, not to mention the clue quite clear. I still like battle creek, but como comes in a close second.

BP- You're getting at Edgecumbe Ave in HP? Was there today, didn't look good except that the frisbee golf course has holes #9 5 and 4 in that area,

Also, that was exactly where it was hiden last time they put it in highland, and they had a clue which punned on edgecumbe, . . . sorry, I don't think they'd just repeat

like that.
