Mr and Mrs. Jake are going to check out Frost Lake Park and Rec Center. Frost, famous writer in many tome, 4 baseball fields there, place of education, school on

grounds, park closes at 9 p.m. and there is a church nearby with hopefully, a transluscent peak!!!!!!

Leah - what do you want to know about Hilcrest? My gut has said that is where it is - but this last clue kind of dashes it - I can't make it fit - someone pointed out

the skylights as being translucent - but it is pretty week.

One other thing that has been bugging me - to be an iconoclast you have to be a rebel - has anyone considered that maybe it is not OUTSIDE this year?

OK WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO KNOW MY THEORY ON HIGHLAND???

PEAK means top of a hill, or highest level translucent means diffusing light sothat objects beyond cannot be distinguished

ya later today maybe around 4 or 5

what would it be INSIDE? Most of the parks that have buildings (like bathrooms) the buildings are locked in the winter (especially at night) and they know that tons

of people dig at night. Besides, I don't think that they want a thousand people trashing any buidings for $10 grand.

DOES ANYONE WANT TO KNOW MY THEORY ABOUT WHERE THE MEDALLION IS HID? I THINK ITS PRETTY GOOD!!

madams liked phalen until the glowing peak...if that isn't that downtown building(i'm sorry i don't know the name of the building...galtier?st paul

companies?)...anyway...it just seems so glaringly obvious...that it must be a park that has that in view. Maybe it is inside..Town Square. I doubt it but I

wouldn't be surprised. Nothing, at this point would surprise me.

Does anyone think it could be at Battle Creek, from there, you can see 3M( a peak) it has a glowing translucent sign of 3M at the top, and they are the sponsers of

the sponsers of the carnival this year???

there is lines of trees in every park.

dave matthews

denephew - I know it sounds crazy - but for 10G you have to be willing to through out the book - I am sure they don't want people trashing park buildings - but

something tells me we have to change our entire perspective.

DAVE M Yes I think Iconoclast could be one of many ways this hunt or hiding place could be very different this year. I think it has nothing to do with religion or the

Devil etc. I think we need a fresh perspective and think in a totally different way. Something is very different. The park, the place it is hidden, something. Trying to

think of something new.

Hello all. Eags, you here?

denephew

Dave - I agree with you 100% - I'm just trying to logically rule out things one at a time. I have had ideas that others have said, now wait a minute, and ruled them out

for me. I believe that it may be in a park that it's never been in before.

madams thanks...i think i will take a second look before it gets dark tonight...or maybe i should go after dark to see the glow. good luck!

Where are you going to Part 2?

Sun, 01/31/1999 - 12:03 PM Permalink

If the clue is talking about a glow, shouldn't you see it during the day as well?

I think they are talking about the USBank tower in Minneapolis What St Paul parks are close to the border between the to cities

Sun, 01/31/1999 - 12:04 PM Permalink
the two faced bandit

Is Newell still the one? The KSTP tower is really only visible at night, so that could be the translucent peak.

Come on guys, how hard can this be. How brilliant is this clue maker? Or is he/she just playing with us? I can't remember the last time when most people hadn't

settled on one park by Sunday.

rocketgirl stay on the south west part of the park "peak" highest level is there and so are the lights also look real good at the street signs hopefully you will see the

same thing as me when you think back to clue 3 then it says "somewhere a four" you will see it and then it will be very clear to you that it is there good luck
