Its not a question of where do a lot of clues fit. Its a question of where do all the clues fit. The answer is Conway.

There is a house number across Ruth with those numbers. In addition, on that same end of the park is the #4 backstop. It could also refer to the count of trees that

are in straight lines.

Also, if you are at a game and you're shouting...where are you? bleachers. Those are on both sides of the #4 backstop and not at the others. The infield of that ball

field is pretty dug up...but not completely. And there is plenty other places that the snow is still untouched.

Matt - Every single clue fits. There is even a sign about golfing.

If its above ground, frozen in ice, that still leaves the question, where is this ice?

The one thing I figured out with 459, is if you unscramble the letters of the alphabet they are you get "die", that'll happen if someone sees you find it! :-)

Maybe a crack or split in a tree or even placed in some bushes

Maybe "Numbers keep score and adorn the front door" isn't talking about something at the park, but of something in general, like a famous building or something,

the name of which would suggest something at the park.

suppose tower street ( maybe fitting all that talk about a high place) is out of the question. it runs a block east of howard.

You know I talked to a guy about the Wall Street Journal thing and it was true, any relation to it???

Some help me is there a total station any where near ConWay??

im just taking a shot im not very good at this

Good One

Allison: I think your are right on.. great job... Clue 3 is tricky.. cant get it. Anograms have been used in previous years for hidden land marks. Have you been able to

come up with anything in Clue 3 or 4?

Allison Wonderland

I heard someone else mention a Wall Street Journal thing, but I didn't catch what they were talking about. Do you know?

There is an Amoco and a Sinclair station

Someone please tell me if their is a Total station anywhere near Conway

Regalman

yeah, the day of the clue 4, iconoclast, blast, and value were all in the top headlines of the Journal. Coincedence?? or is the Journals press address 954 or something

Mon, 02/01/1999 - 12:00 AM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

Clue 4 I think is just saying that's its in a park its never been in before. Someone suggested it may even refer to the fact that its the first time at a rec center. I think its

also possible it may be saying the medallion is hidden in some unusual, unexpected way, but that's all I see in it. To answer another question, I recall seeing a Sinclair

station, and A Firestone something or another, but I don't remember a Total offhand.

DaBrewMan

Somewhere a four.... I was thinking that was the "total" if you subtract 9 from five. I tried :)

Regalman

Langford is a rec center and has been hidden there, and brought up big ?'s between park and rec center, that's why I have benn saying that

Allison Wonderland

Honestly, the Wall Street Journal thing sounds like a coincidence. I have to believe the clue was written before that edition of the Wall Street Journal came out.

Those numbers are bugging the #&*# out of us, eh Allison? I just don't buy any of the things I've seen.

allison that sounds about right if it is on a north south street but if it is on energy park it would be higher than 1580

DaBrewMan

somewhere a four isn't 4 "midway" between 9 and 5??

Mon, 02/01/1999 - 12:00 AM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

DaBrewman, if you're still here, was it you that said the medallion was frozen in ice? Did you perhaps mean it was in a frozen, white, water balloon?

midway stadium is 1771 energy park drive

Mon, 02/01/1999 - 12:00 AM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

You're right Gordon, it is on Energy Park Drive. I was hoping perhaps they were trying to say it was midway through the park. And DaBrewman, I don't think

midway is the right word. Transverse or range or something like that.

ok all heritage estates 2040 wilson

Mon, 02/01/1999 - 12:00 AM Permalink
