I'm thinking out of ten clues there should be some vicinity clues in there. Maybe we're missing. Could water on high mean a roof drain or something other that a

water tower? What do you think?

I agree, I really think all these clues are just telling us what park, I think that we can all agree that our 'prize' is covered. Hopefully tonights clue will finally clue us in to

what it is in,on, under, etc.

POOH

I don't think they would do that, it wouild cause damage and they are not interested in that.

Be cautious in the Conway area. I just found out more than one vehicle was broken into--glass was broken to gain entry to the locked vehicles! Don't leave any

valuables in your vehicle when out in the field hunting!!!

CONWAY/RUTH

Mitchy Mitch, I wouldn't say it has to be in a softball or baseball, this is the same outfit that put it in a diaper, remember???

WENT TO PARK LAST NIGHT TO DIG , ALOT OF SPOTS IN PARK ARE REALLY TORE UP. LOOKS LIKE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO DIG TO

CHINA.MY ICERINK THEORY IS ONLY BECAUSE OF THE WATER ON HIGH, WOULD BE WHEN THEY FILL THE ICERINK THEY HAVE THE

WATER ONHIGH.AND IF THE ICERINK WAS A LITTLE CHOPPED UP, THAT COULD BE FILLED IN WITH MORE WATER.JUST GRASPING.

Molly...2059 the 59 is right there and the 4 could refer to four score which is 20 dahdad ...2059 it's the only thing I can think of that involves the #'s.

Could round and white be the ice rinks?

You are all great analytical thinkers!

Molly, I don't think ice rinks are 'stretched tight'. I'm thinking something elastic - it's white and stretchy.

Did anyone else notice that the park building has a peak on top toward the front? It has frosted glass sides but a solid roof. Are we looking at the wrong peaK? just

a thought.

I think the 9, 5, and 4 mean I-94 and 5.

The round and white stretched quite tight has got to be what it is inside of. Because what ever it is inside of, is likely stretchable or elastic. No???????

We just got back from Conway and some kid was yelling he had found it. He held up something white and drove off with two other kids. Does anyone know

anything about this?

954 means 9 trees on one side, 5 trees on the other and the 4 is in the middle protected by a tree on the baseball fence. Seriously the only place that has not been

touched is the deep snow around the ice rink. Why? oh and for the people who still dont believe it is there, well at night the hocky lights are turned off and they are

supposed to be on but i guess they dont want you to have any help, and can someone tell me what todays clue means? Please?

Possibility of the medallion was placed in white shrink-wrap. That could very well be overlooked in the snow.
