Thanks, Dunker. It looks like the Marina ends on dry land?

So does this feel like we're all sitting at our computers waiting for someone to call and say they found it?

Not by the marina - they are or were hanging in trees around the lakes and down by the river.

I don't think those guys will leave until they find it at this point.  Looks like the grandson is spending the night.  His mommy was going to carry him home to sleep in his own bed, but I'm betting not now.  She said there are people all over the area digging.

I want to really bad, but I think I'll have to wait to tomorrow.  I'm not sure I know how far back to go yet.  Best wait another night, unless of course it's found...then I'll cry uncontrollably for a couple days.

It was a total zoo getting out of downtown and figured I wouldn't find any parking and Snowjester got there and called to see where I was at and she had to park way up by the entrance...so I'm glad I didn't go. I was planning on it but changed my mind.

I hope so. Although Tomorrow would be a good night to find it what with the party at PP.

Evildoer, just follow the headlamps and lanterns.  They must be putting out a pretty good glow about now all massed together.

On the map furnished by Dunker I noticed a lot more numbers further down the path but they weren't out in the park somebody must have taken them

I dunno.. I just have an uncanny feeling that it's not gonna get found tonight.. don't ask me why but I just do.

Terry

That's what I'm thinking, OT.  If they are all in that general area, there'll be plenty of direction by heading toward that glow.

I need to get to bed.  I could sit here all night waiting and then have to be bright eyed enough to work tomorrow.

Goodnight, SCDs and may one of the Crew find it!

I'm with you MM.  There's still alot of area to cover out there.  And there are a lot of trees to choose from.

After no find today, I'd have to say this may go til 12. I was brainstorming this in the last few minutes, and I now agree with Mystical_Muzik. Someone may get lucky tomorrow or Wednesday, but the most likely outcome is a mad stampede in Crosby on Wednesday night.

However, given the size of Crosby and the amount of unturned snow that has been reported, there is a no-so-remote possiblity that NO ONE gets the treasure. I'd give the chances of that happenening about the same as the puck coming in before 12, i.e. within the realm of possibility. I know to talk of that on this board is blasphemy, but it could happen.

To bad people had to take down the life preserver and the other numbers on the paths.

It's to bad but it seems like a landmarks have been taken, or moved from the park, the life preserver for one.

Time to shove off for the evening.  Happy hunting, everyone!

They are talking about those Yellow sleds that said life raft or something on them right? I saw 2 of them myself, but I wonder if they are where they were when the clue writer saw them!

Isn't it kind of foolish on their part to write a clue based on a movable object??  Must be the same person who put it in a donut last year.

Night Terry and MM and anyone else who said they're leaving.  Sorry FB, I'm babysitting while the mommy is hunting.

I'm in kind of a pickle here.  It's pretty much died down here and I'm very tired, but can't go to bed until my grandson's mommy comes to pick him up and he's sleeping on the couch.  Time to do a crossword puzzle I guess.

nice clue... done sloggin.. am I worried it'll be found tonight? Nah, I spent an evening in the mosh pit last year, even with everyone diggin in the area they knew it had to be, it still wasn't found till morning, even though it was just over the ridge.

I'll see you in the parks in the morning, unless the unthinkable happens, which if it does, I'll tip my hat to that person(s).

How come no one has mentioned life saving devices in here?  All I've been hearing is that there aren't any real landmarks.  Even my own kids when I'd ask them would say, just a lot of fallen trees.

They're talking about that over at the PP Board also.  I'm not really into fairy tales so don't know how much I'd enjoy something like that though.
