jim hunter -- i don't think they'd want us unwrapping the trees in the parks in the middle of winter. i've been thinking that maybe it's taped to a baseball or softball.

russ p. -- the walrus suggested that 9-5-4 referred to I-94 and hwy. 5. conway is in between them.

I'm waiting for #9. It would be a shocker, but maybe it's going to be a good, clear clue!

I don't think that anyone knows where this thing really is, nobody is even sure what park it is in.

10g's, waiting on 9, if for sure Conway, giving up because that would mean that the clue writers lied to us. If you call the cities dept of parks and rec. there is a

difference between a park and recreation center. Rec center aimed at youth for community involvement and sporting activities, park, family functions with facilities

available, More picnic areas and fire rings etc.

Alright Clue #3, let's figure this out already. If adorn the front door is to be taken literally, then I don't know if we can be looking at anything other than an address.

Its possible its referring to a posting at the door, such as one referring to hours, but that wouldn't really be much of a clue. But does anyone think that maybe that line

doesn't mean an address?

would like to know for next year, and will try to find out for everone, is when they start writing the clues, and when they hide the medallion, I am so

frustrated !!! It seems so far you can pick the clues with so many parks !!!! And the way it is going is number 9 is not going to make it any clearer.... Only 4

more clues to go...

I Think that the Medalion is about halfway up Conway St. at Conway Park hidden near the tennis courts... I still don't get the 9-5-4 thing. It might not be at Conway

after all.

Allison Wonderland - I don't think it means an address at all. It can mean an entrance to a park
