No Russ...they do not want people digging on ANY sliding areas...ruins it for the kids to play...people really get mad when those areas get dug up and ruined for

sliding especially after kids take the time to make the hills smoothe...etc... :))

I think everyone is right about Conway but what about the 9, 5 and 4 what does that have to do with Conway?

I think the valuable sign is simply the Wilson Street sign because it comes from Woodrow(trees in a line) and will bring you to Conway park

I don't think that it is ON the sliding hill, I just think that it is by it because there is a perfect view of all three objects from there.

I figured something out...dont' get all excited now...that one web crossing off screen comes up if you double click or are impatient, so it's best to wait. If you can't

wait, it'll take even longer to try to get back on. Just thought I'd let you knwo.

BE--I think a peak is a pointy thing, not a dome

Just got back from Conway- 99% sure its there, all the clues say it. About 350 people at least were All over, but its pretty big. I dont think anyone will find it until

another clue narrows the spot in the park down (unless someone gets REALLY lucky), but its there, you can tell.

Como Conservatory isn't really a peak. Also not enough clues lead to Como. It's at Conway.

Isn't Conway just a recreation center and not a "park". It doesn't call it a park in my Hudson book.

Also, the WOODROW would be a little more convincing if the street name was actually Woodrow and not Wilson.

The sign at conway says (CONWAY RECREATION CENER) not PARK

could someone please explain the whole Conway theory???

Ouchie, just logged on. Your right, go with your Dad. I remember when my Dad used to pull me out of school to look for the treasure. Since he's gone this is one

memory I'll never forget. We had great times together looking for the treasure, some years soo close, other years laughing how far away we were from it. All in all

the stories we can tell and the memories I have spending time with my Dad looking for the treasure, is worth more than the prize of finding it.
