Hey Brian, you seem like you are just acheing to tell us what this other translucent peak is? So the quarry could just refer to the baseball diamond? Or maybe the

translucent peak? This is just my second year at all this stuff, so I'm still trying to figure out how these people write this stuff!

Superstar--have you been hanging around with the Skipper or Flyer's guy?

tori... it goes like this... 1 (not the first) clue tells what its in... the first few clues tell broad features of the parks... then they get narrower by finding

street,landmark,park names from the clues somehow.. then the last 2 basically drag you to the park with a shovel...

Hey Jackie--My sister is a substitute teacher, but she is sleeping and probably doesn't want to work, what grade is your class?

Jackie Martin

I'm telling you- I live across the street from Conway, the clues need to get more specific, I think. That park is pretty wide open.

Barton read #14,689 that is what I think, I was out there today. And Brian have you actually been out to Conway??

Tori - alright alright! I'll quit with all the Tom Foolery and Skulduggery.

Hey Common - if either of us finds it should we have a little get together at the BPT or Jake's Sports Cafe?

Jackie, I would love too. I will teach them about the seven deadly sins. GREED!! :) The love of money brings out the evil in all of us. If I found it I would give it to

some little boy or girl to bring to their parent(s). The shock on their(parents) face would be worth 10,000 to me :)

I'm thinking about Irvine, cause the water tower, capitol=translucent peak, and the 1st Bank Tower=red object
