It would be nice though it's a little closer than Crosby

Kaw, I like the repeat of "land" noodle.  Could fit Highland than also.  The year of fame could be 1952, the year of the first hunt found in Highland.  Probably already noodled but wanted to get it out there.

I don't really think its at Groveland, but if it were the clue writer is gonna make you work for it, especially given how small it is.

Sure, there is talk of the hinges, but I am quite honestly shocked that more people aren't focusing in the on this aspect.  Seems like a big clue to me.  KAW- sheist....do you just sit all day and post now?  hehe

Just got back from tending the fire at the Crosby pavilion while my family hunted with FB.  We got there around noon, and drove right down and had our pick of parking spots.  No one parking on hill then.  Now they've blocked off the parking from the top of the hill.  Saw the Camo Crue digging in some kind of grid system in the same place the whole time we were there.  Four year old grandson and I did a little sledding and a lot of fire wood hunting.  The Porta Potty needs TP.

OT - Are you saying that no more cars can enter Crosby for now?

Sun, 01/30/2005 - 3:23 PM Permalink
OT

At 3:30 or so they weren't letting any more in.  People were parking on both sides of the road so it was causing a traffice jam if cars tried to enter and exit at the same time.  I think they're waiting for it to clear a little before they open it again.

guess i still want to say that things are leading to crosby. but one can not just rule everything else out. at least that is what i have learned from the elders! i also think this clue is just leadin us back farther into the park. 'young women or man, while you still can' = hike as far as you can with a heavy shovel til your arm falls off!
