In clue 9, orient means Japanese Gardens at the Conservatory. In clue 7, look on the road up to the Conservatory it has "Do not leave VALUABLES in your car. It

TRIANGLE PARK is about a mile away from Linwood. It was built in 1996 and is new, like in out with the "old" in with the "new" The "FRACK" matches it to this
park. It is stated in clue 6 if you think about it.
There are also clues for Conway in what HASN'T been said. 1)No clue has given a clear indication of the name of the park, which would imply it must be fairly
small. 2)There has been no reference to water, aside from the water tower. That would imply there is no body of water associated with the park. 3) There has been
no mention of woods or large groups of trees. While Conway has some trees, it would hardly be considered wooded.
Has anyone here NEVER been to Conway, and still insists it's somewhere else???
I'm willing to lost sleep over this thing, all of it. I'd rather have the satisfaction of finding it than the 5,000/10,000, but hey, I'm not turning it down. So don't worry, I
For anyone who things it at Highland, I was thinking the red thing had to do with the RED No. 1 in the First Naitonal Bank Building seen in the distance, But...I'm
not there anymore. I've abandoned my park. The clues fit there, but they're not looming in your face.
Alison has some pretty strong points there. Those have all been the types of things which are refferenced in the clues. Go back and check them if you disagree. This
doesn't pinpoint Conway for sure, but it does ssupport such a park
The clues have started, as well as the hunting. Share your suspicions and tips here. Note: The medallion is not adjacent to or on the grounds of any public water
I think a baseball is too small. A softball maybe, but that seems like an awful lot of trouble. If clue #9 does refer to what its contained in, I think a frozen white water
baloon has a better shot. My gut feeling though is that they were just talking about softball in general so as to refer to the softball fields. But then again, maybe they
meant to do that just to lure people to the softball fields, if only subconsciously.
I don't know how many people are still here after that last bout of web crossing error, but as for myself, I think I'm going to get some dinner, watch Ally McBeal,
And sharon, if its just you and I here, I don't know for sure, but I heard people say frack was part of Linwood Park or something. I wouldn't worry about it though.
Tim L - THats not neccisarily good logic. The PP are just telling us NOT to tresspass the private land which houses water towers. Just as clue one says don't go on
a golf course and has no relevance as to whether or not the right park HAS a golf course in it.
Ally McBeal isn't on tonight...the TV Guide Awards are on. But they are kinda good... I am going to go out tonight, after the next clue cuz i don't have class till noon
I'm Audi5000. On may way to claim my medalion. Alison, some food for thought: $10,000 is about how much it costs to buy a real true Stallion. If you get my drift .
If anyone wants to say hi, I'll be at Conway, smoking a cuban and bitching about how the highlanders weren't the only iconoclasts, nor the most famous, in history.

Hey hunters! How's the snow at Conway? I'm sure it has gotten wet and heavy, but is it disappearing with this rain? I hope our luck holds and we don't get a couple
of inches of ice on everything. If that happens we might not find it until spring!
Good luck to everyone going out tonight! I've gotta go buy a new digging implement. The one I was using last night broke!!!
In clue 9, orient means Japanese Gardens at the Conservatory. In clue 7, look on the road up to the Conservatory it has "Do not leave VALUABLES in your car. It
is a sign right.
Someone told me it wasn't found the year they taped it to the bottom of a mailbox. I don't for sure though if that is true.

If They stopped selling the paper @ 9pm this year it was stupid.
Alison, nice theory. When I get there tonight I'll try to recreate that scenario in my head and see where it leads!
Clue 2 flying downhill is refrence to the snow slide.
What happens if its not found.....what if some little kid found it and dosent know what it is...has ther ever been a year that it has never been found?

In the early 1950's It was taped to the bottom of a mailbox. It was in a treasure chest that had been magnatized!

CARTMAN, WERE YOU THE ONLY ONE IN LINE???
Still wondering where this Triangle Park is.
tim-If it is not found, then the money is donated to a charity. This has happened twice before. (IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN)
Everybody it is in COMO PARK guaranteed.
Hi Mo Info! Are you thinking Conway too? I sure am... was there today and yesterday!
Conservatory is the translucent peak.

won't let it go "unfound."
MUSHIE W --I dont know too much about CONWAY. I am doing some research later tonight. It is a possibility for sure!

Line of trees will appear a name DUH!
what is this "FRACK" you are talking about?!
what's the "frack" ???
I was sure it was in Como too until clue #7 which fits Conway far better than Como or any other park.
stone cold is here and he is ready to kick your but

Whoever hid this thing and made up these stupid clues, need to take an absence from the Pioneer Press.

What about Phalen?
FiRST Of TrEeS = "FOREST ST"???
I agree with Mo Info. I was at Triangle Park yersterday. There were a lot of people there because clue 8 went well with the park.
I think it is in a baseball and the 9th clue means the downtown with the blinking 1 on top of the bank
Red thing up high is the NO 1 .
The clues have started, as well as the hunting. Share your suspicions and tips here. Note: The medallion is not adjacent to or on the grounds of any public water
tower. well we know its not neer a water tower
16000?????
I'm still convinced it's at Conway!

can someone tell me what "frack" means?
I don't know how many people are still here after that last bout of web crossing error, but as for myself, I think I'm going to get some dinner, watch Ally McBeal,
and then ponder the meaning of $10,000.
And sharon, if its just you and I here, I don't know for sure, but I heard people say frack was part of Linwood Park or something. I wouldn't worry about it though.
The medallion's not there.

Allison, Ally's not on tonight.. TV Guide Awards... Woohoo.. <sarcasm> Personally, I'd rather watch McBeal..
Ally McBeal isn't on tonight...the TV Guide Awards are on. But they are kinda good... I am going to go out tonight, after the next clue cuz i don't have class till noon
tomorrow...so i figure..why not.
good luck (again)
