Still here... and not planning on going anywhere. I'm stuck at work, 3 blocks from Conway, at the big red sign in the sky.

Hey Flippy, I'm stuck at work too - but not so close to Conway as you. It's pure torture, isn't it! What's your theory on the 954 thing?

West side. You have to stay away from the sliding hill per clues

I'm just guessing- but I think that since it was only the 3rd clue, it's probably pretty general. So, my best guess is, it's between 94 and Highway 5, or fifth street

(which is also nearby.) By the way, once you get unstuck from work, feel free to join me- I'll probably be out there at 3:00 tomorrow morning, if it hasn't been found

yet.

What's "IN" a name... "Tim" Conway.....Maybe the medallion is hidden in a baseball mit?

Can someone elaborate on how Cherokee was all dug up and still no one had found the medallion (but it was there all along). After experiencing Conway last night it

blows my mind that it hasn't been found yet!

Is the consensus that the round/white . . . explains what the medallion is in?

Hi Flippy - I think you're right on the clue for 954 being kind of vague. I did hear something about the KS95 radio tower, but I don't think that's right because it says

'numbers keep score and adorn the door', so I thought it would be an address of a sports center.

I want to head out tonight after the clue at 11:30, but I guess I could just go around 3 and then head to work after that. I'm not outta here until 5:00 in downtown

Mpls.

954......a score is 20, as in 4 score and 7 years ago our forefathers...87 years. all the buildings at conway start with 20..as in 954...2090 2050.....and somewhere a

4...there is a number 4 baseball diamond and the backstop sign actually says 4 on it/

Horbal, good thinking on the 'mit' thing, but mitt is spelled with 2 t's.

digging...the smart ones..now all the lamers have come out.DAMN YOU

It could also be the previously posted guess- that it is about even with 495 Ruth St, in view of all the other clues. I just didn't think that they would get that specific

with the third clue.

Also, I definitely think the "round and white" clue relates directly to what it is wrapped in. Any ideas? So far, my guesses have been- some kind of product wrapper,

a baseball, a garbage bag, or a diaper (again.)

Maybe I'll see you down there- Good luck, anyway.

Eddie111, I will be hunting tonight. At Conway unless someone provides GOOD reason not to go there. It HAS to be there. it IS there.

Unless Pumpkin, oops I mean Pie, found it and is en route to Mexico.

eitsaeb - Your handle sounds way to much like my ex-girlfriends name (Eiserloh) But if you have something intelligent to share I'll listen. Last night was foggy but I

saw Many large red objects in the sky.

Although I'm not going to discourage any one from going to a different park- they'd be FOOLS. It's in Conway, and will be found by tomorrow morning

Assuming it is at Conway, the big red sign in the sky has to be the 3M sign on the side of building 224. (The tower just off I94)

About the 954 thing, Hwy 5 is just 8 short blocks North of Conway and I-94 is of course just to the south. Simple...

Why SW? Any reason or just a feeling?

great idea with the yarn. That would be pretty impossible to see in all the snow out there.
