It's going to take awhile to dig up Conway. It has to be at a point where you can see both the red 3M sign & the translucent peak at Sunray.

If I dont find it I just want someone to hurry up and get it so this damn thing is over.. It's too stressful. But it is fun to search for it.

Superstar

Hey Pam - the tv crew is at como every night because they have the snow slide along with many other events! Cops are kicking you out by 10. It's not there and

hasn't been found. Keep your hopes up! I am the superstar! Think I ain't?

I'm thinking Highland park..1 fits, 2, fits a bit, 3 with baseball you have the numbers..9 innings, 5 ball/strike count..4 bases...and with all the stuff about baseball this

year...4 theres a small history thing there, kind of a museum and Iconoclasts can be highlanders...5, Library I think is somewhere there...6, Its on Snelling, thats a

famous name right?. 7, Theres trees in a line down snelling.8, The round and white thing is a clue to what the medalion is in...and theres a churchlike thing with a

translucent like top, and 9 Water tower with red lights on it

I'll tell you what people, judging by these clues I can still relate EVERY clue to 2 parks! This hunt is going down to the wire if we like it or not.... The best advise to

everyone would be make sure your cars are gassed up and wait for clue 11 and 12! The only way it can be found before then is pure luck. P.s Does anyone want to

play softball at merriam? the field is clear of snow!!!
