Clue three will give you the 36 divide.
The metal man was found last year on the opposite side.

For many years this wetland would have hidden many
And waste from all would have been considered a plenty.
But today the area is more pure and true.
Still canÕt find it, tomorrow thereÕll be another clue

 

 

clues up alrdy!!! ok...where was it last year...geez..I suck

Well last year the one called Target pond, on the North Side, was not any where near a parkland, they have really done some work this past year.  So my guess is that it was found in the other area last year.

I can't find anything on where it was found last year. I'm gonna take off now, will take me a while to get there,  The plan is to stop  at local stores and ask the clerks if they remeber where it was last year.  Backup plan is to call and wake Krissy up and ask her (pretty sure she doesn't know)

LL - I will call you about 8:30

can you see target from both??? Throw a dart is Target.

You can see target much easier from the new north side Environmental Learning Center.

Big question is, where was the medallion last year... Either center, they picked a good area, both will take time to search. I'll be out tonight around 9:30 again.

nahh.. it's gotta be the north side.. the clues fit that area much better than the south side.

Cool diggin, I did not know that. That confirms it then. The medallion hast to be in the Environmental Learning Center.

KCORN...if you are going out tonight...I'm game....just don't know where to start in that "center".....gotta think about this one today.....

(thank god I work...otherwise I wouldn't have time to nooodle)

I searched the northern side last night, except for the grove of trees behind the strip mall, pretty much that whole area would be a nice target to search. There are two signs at the southern corners of the parks, but I'm doubting it's there, one's next to a taco johns, I can't imagine they'd find a time to place it there. the other faces the main road as well, and 11th is fairly well traveled.

bummer diggin, you had some good info too! if it isn't found by this evening, just swing on by the environmental center for a lil bit. having a few people out there, and we're sure it's the right park, it's gotta get found now.

searching in this area sucks....just not real points of reference for anything in the park....just a few spots that I wanna double check....

echos of crobsy come to mind... I'm wondering if you go with the idea that you should be able to see the target sign and the polar plaza sign from the location. I'll haveta do a visual when I'm there tonight.

I am still liking the idea that the "lucky" in the first clue is giving you the Irish name Flanders.  That is the street that dead ends into it on the west side.

Bummer I will not have time to get out again till Friday. 

I hope one of us finds it...we need to start a finding trend :)

I'll be out in the evenings. Tomorrow I can search from 6pm on. I see no posted hours for that park... perhaps I could be there later... honestly there's only so much area, let's find the thing and get it over with.

where are the clues for this hunt?

Wed, 02/09/2005 - 1:13 PM Permalink
KC0GRN

There's one option I didn't really try while out there. I'll check that out tonight.

I'm really guessin this snowman isn't on the ground, per clue 2, which pretty much leaves us with trees, signs, and benches.

Wed, 02/09/2005 - 1:22 PM Permalink
OT

Could this snowman be stuck in a back stop or something like that?  Reference to "this game". 

Wed, 02/09/2005 - 1:24 PM Permalink
KC0GRN

Nope, there's not much of anything in the area they say to look at from clue 3. a large pond, trees, a couple benches, wetland areas, 3 signs.. and that's about it.

So maybe my "hanging from a back stop or something" noodle wasn't that far "off-base".  :)
