What kind of dictionary lists "orient" with the meaning being east side?

E.R.: It's a large RED object, not a large round object. The round object is white and in clue #8.

jimt, the far east (China, Japan, Korea, etc.) is commonly known as the orient.

Thats one of a few different meanings... I messed up though. Its not EAST side, its East. My bad

If "water on high" referred to a water tower I think they would have said "up" high....why "on"?

Hey donut man, with a 1998 lincoln navigator I'm guessing you're not really hurting for the funds. Just in it for the hunt?

CD:

What I said was that yes you are right it's in HP, but I can't give up the meaning of the red object because it would become so obvious to everyone that I would have

all the Conway Maniacs over @ Highland disturbing my tranquil ascention to fame!!!

ok now this might be real far fetched but what about the 9,5, and somewhere a 4 has to do with a year?

I did a quick drive through hidden falls adn only saw lookers ...no diggers...but I think you really have to walk down the paths to find diggers. There were a few cars

in the lot and it was raining so i don't think anyone was there taking a fun stroll. this was at 4pm

Could the large red object high in the sky be the tail of a Northwest jet over Highland? They were known as Northwest Orient!

Right click on the blue message #, click "copy shortcut". Post a new message, right click, paste.

Does that make sense??

No, I can't go out tonight. I'm like Donut Man, except I'm female. Husband and kids come first. And sleep. Maybe next year. Anyway, about Highland: The trees in

a line are PINEhurst, BEECHwood, MonTREEal, all of which intersect HamLINE. There is definitely water on high--two large water towers, and two references in

#9 to "HIGH." I wasn' there long enough to find any numbers, but someone last night said they found 9 and 5, and something about St. Francis fitting in (sorry I can't

do better, I'm new to this). References to learning and studying: Highland Park High School. I don't know about the large red object or transluscent peak, but others

insist they are there.

Linh: Its base on my years of relentless pursuit of the beast, the prize. I am always right there, but haven't finished the job yet. Like I've said before, if I gave all the

clue explanations, it would become obvious to everyone and there would be trouble. Here's my advice: Go to HP. Bring the clues. LOOK around and it will all

make sense. You will see the red object, the translucent peak, the valuable sign. Like 92 said, keep the park hummin with your shovel.

BE - I don't think the numbers 9,4,5 are supposed to be linked together...read the clue again. I thought it said,"a nine and a five, and somewhere a four."
