ya know, i spent some time at cherokee today, that's where i think it is... but nevertheless, i was thinkig about rosebud, from the movie citizen kane... and that movie was all about a newspaperman... and the pioneer press is just down the hill from mounds... makes me think twice about mounds

Jess - The women who found it at Battle Creek spelled out the first letters of each clue B-A-T-T-L-E. That's pretty obvious. Then its just pure luck. Nobody knows where that thing is (well, except the person who hid it). And if they did, would they risk their job telling someone?

Eastside boys - Bud street is not even on the map. It's not there. Perhaps you want it to be there because your from the Eastside. Don't know. If it's at Beaver, we'll eat the paper with your picture's in it.

twosisters I didn't think it was there either. But then I saw a BIG rosebud on that sign. 2 "city" streets run into Beaver Lake Ames and Lacross.

Eastside boys - already read your first posting. But I think you are reading too much into it. Why is the blvd. a double division? A division maybe, but why double?

Mother Boserud - the pioneer press building isn't just down the hill from Mounds.

Can't be Beaver. You're making the park fit the clues rather than the clues fit the park.

mother boserud - there is no smokestack at beaver lake, but apparently you can see smoke from 3m. Quite a stretch we think.

Mother Boserud-ok- the smokestack's come from the 3M plant 1/2 mile away!
