Just between You , Me and the fence post serious treasure hunters should start with a St. Paul map andmark off the park boundries, golf courses , and water towers

ect. My best guess from St. Cloud is that you should look for a scoreboard with a 5 and a 9 on it. Now look for a team logo (the icon) on a tightly streched piece of

paper that you must cut through (the iconoclast clue).

I'll be wearing shorts and a tank top, and carrying a big red shovel, digging like a mad woman in conway park. what if they buried it in the ice?

FOOLED YA

Clue 10 for 1998

A cape and a whip can really be hip, Though we don't recommend such attire. Consider this a worthwhile tip If it's treasure to which you aspire.

This clue meant chippewa. a street east of the hiding place and came from an anagram from the words......"cape" and "whip"

What this means freaks is that the exact spot won't be told until wed. evening at 11:30. Tonights clue should verify Conway or I'll make all of you eat your sweaty,

sloppy, snow diggin, smelly undies; because I certainly won't eat em.

knowing that not all of you were in here when this was said, if you take the "I" out of water on high, it spells hawthorne with a g left over. Hawthorne street runs right

into phalen???? I'm stuck on Conway too, but this year who knows

Sounds good ashlee but I think I'm going to HP. I have a bad feeling about Conway but I might stop anyway just to see you. Think I won't? Keep your eyes open at

the U for the Evans House parties. All ladies get in free.

Hey there crew! I know we can do it! We've been hunting for how many years now?!?! We found the medallian at the AV winter carnival... it's about time we win

the big prize! I have faith in us! We are the 2 AM Crew! (Thanks Trina for the name) We've all played a significant part in this wonderful event, we all deserve to

come home with that medallian!

John, Char, Trina, Tracy, Jerry, Tim, Kelly, Doug, Travis, Ryan, Tyler, Jesse, Heather, Sadie, Tiffany (2 of us)... the list goes on! I just wanted to say, no matter

what the outcome... We all had fun now didn't we!

I love you! Hope I see you all (and the 10,000) soon!

Tiffany aka Computer Duty!
