I was at Conway last night, and i looked for about an hour. It takes me about 25 minutes to get there...for some reason, I can't justify going out there again tonight,

but I probably will, because there is that slight chance (hey, it's better odds than winning the lottery) of finding it - this time i might bring a flashlight and wear boots...i

wonder how many people will be at conway after 11:30?? I am becoming obsessed about this - scary. but it's fun. I was thinking, if it were not for this message

board i would not have a clue about "conway" park because i'm not from st. paul and i >never< go to st. paul...i think i'll go there more so i can be better prepared

next year. okay i'll stop rambling now

Ya' know I just want it to be over just to know where the dumb thing is, not like I really believe I have a real chance to find it, but just to know, make sense?!?!?!?

ALLIE GO... you looked WHERE all day?

Amy Anderson

Me too Russ. I think it's easier said then done, "yeah it's at conway" or something..but once you're there, you can only walk around diggin up stuff for so long.. I

have a question: If you are not registered, and say you find the medallion, can you quick register and get a button - and then turn the medallion in? Just a question.

Ashley - lucky that you don't have classes tomorrow! you can spend allllll day searching! hehe

You have to have registered the button by 1-30. I thought about that too.

I just came back from Highland...Cross it off your lists. The one place things fit is by the water towers and sledding hills but they are located at the edge of the golf

course and they have people from the water department and the golf course chasing people away. The other areas of the park dont seem to ift and there is not many

people out there at all.

We also went to Linwood...Lots of cars but not many people. They must have been in the ec cene. The clues dont fit well in there. Who has directions to

Conway???

For those of you looking for directions to Conway, go east on 94 to the Ruth St. exit, take a left off the ramp- you'll run right into it. Stop by and say hi, I live in the

apartments across the street!

Just got back from Conway, about 300 people there. It all fits no doubt.....just don't know the exact spot. Everything seems to line up to form a triangle shape.

Tonight's clue better be good, don't have much hair left!!!!!
