Is there any building there with the address 2020?

That clue reads...numbers keep score and adorn the front door. Score = 20. So is that the address?

GREEN - I can't believe your here! I've been wondering where you've been. You're probably wondering who the hell I am. I'm stalion. Nuf Said.

Just got back from Conway, was there from about 9-11:30. When the new clue came out I wasn't able to put Twitty & Tim together, to bad. It'll be gone by

tommorrow afternooon, if not tonight.

Ter, the houses on the north street... Can't remember the name, are all 20XX's. In fact... Noticed this 2day... 2045 and 2059 are next door to each other. Ittiz the

houses we were parked in front of when we met Wright Winger.

I can't believe you guys can get in here! The server, web crossing is down so often...and then there's the work and digging thing going on too.

I'd be digging now if that husband of mine would wake up!

I noticed the houses next door to each other too- don't think it means anything though. Dug an awful long while around there though.

Did anyone think of it being in a drum, round and white and stretched tight, it could be in a little drum or even a "Drum" Tobacco rapper.

Are there any open bathrooms at Conway park and if so where are they???

Take this for what it's worth (probably nothing) The cleanup batter is fourth.(somewhere a four) There is a cleanup area near the rec building at Conway, next to the

parking lot. Thought I would give it a shot, saw a huge plowed snowbank and it looked like a decent place to hide a medalion since it would only get bigger and

bigger as it snowed more often. Also, who the hell is going to disturb a snowbank? So I went through about 1500 pounds of snow before I gave it up. Damn my

back is sore!

Im not a total moron, and I have an idea what an iconoclast is and I firmly believe it is at conway but how does that fit into it?

No way I say to Conway or 3m. Look for that big red in the sky. Think big and red How about the frist bank number "1" in the sky. You can see #1 from most of

the parks. look look in the sky !!!!!!!.

Stallion... This place is NOT like last year. Ittiz not the most pleasant o'places, so I tend to stay out. Wandered in cuz o'boredom tonite... And quickly wander out.

Can't take it here.

We try and xplain on how not to get double posts, no body listens. Nobody reads past postings to learn - just shooting out a question. Too many people saying,

"Call your mother," "Sweetie, I miss you," stuff like that that is totally inappropriate. Ittiz tedious here.

So, I don't come over very often!

Gold-Digger: We're trying to verify that 2020 is the park address, but its not in the phone book. What is your source, if you please? A sign at the park? A listing in a

phone book or Parks directory?

Like the clue last year that - Annapolis, and we were supposed to figure out the damn Med was in an Old Navy sock.

I DON'T *THINK* SO!!!

To this day, I will not purchase ANY Old Navy product, and cringe every single time I see someone wearing an Old Navy item.

Green & Stallion:

You two sound like you're more in my league than the rest. I agree with you both about the conversation. I have been monitoring all week. Lived my whole life in

St.Paul til a year ago. I think maybe we are the older hunters. GOOD LUCK. See ya there tomorrow if it's still there.

Well, I left the park so I could get some sleep, and now that I'm here I better do it. After all, I could be giving up my medalion to a different stallion, so I better get

something from it. See you all tommorow! And here's a bit of advice- no matter how excited you are about getting to the right park before everyone else, watch your

speed. I got a ticket 2nite, and am $80 in the hole, as opposed to 10 G's over budget instead.

In the end though, $80 is a small price to pay for so much fun . . .

Gold, don't know what you mean. White bandana doesn't mean anything to us. White does, but not bandana; unless one o'The Crew wears one, but that I don't

know.

Don't know where you're coming from, kiddo.

I found the address on the internet, I typed in 2020 Wilson Ave. on the destinaiton part and it showed Conway Heights Park (old name I am assuming.........) I was

also told that there was an old rec center there and now they have the new one. The old one used to be where the hockey rink is now I guess, not positive.

This year's phone book gives the address as 2090...but maybe that old rec center address has to do with a blast from the past.

Last year the sock wasn't mentioned til clue #7. Other years the item has been mentioned as early as clue #2. Go figure....Who knows.

Doesn't need to make any more sense than what it does! Library's for the "yearning/learning" and has NOTHING to do with "blast/past/new value"!!!

Great No 1 - let's start this whole tirade again - FORD was an Icon and you can see the plant from there. (Crosby) I would laugh if it wasn't at Conway

PS - I had this crazy idea earlier which I e-mailed to the Cooler Crew Web site about all the coolerheads putting in a few bucks every year to have a contest for

who figures out each clue first. Cause doesnt' it seem like the person who finds it is always the luckey duck who just heads out to the park everyone ELSE is at?

You could only have ONE guess at each clue(so you'd want to make sure you'd make it a good one) and send an official e-mail to an official clue knower person.

After it was all over the person who had the most clues right on, the soonest, gets the pot. Or you could come up with some other system. Itza thought though! Then

the people who rack they're brains for hours still have a shot at some $$$$$$$ even if they don't find it.
