Real Stretch time - didn't someone say something about pantyhose, or even a bra. Hey if they would hide it in a diaper or a white castle box who knows what else

there sick minds would come up with. Well if it is a bra could there be a little double entendre in the looking for a PEAK

Rock, please tell us you're kidding around. Today's clue is the easiest of all the clues! It practically names the park...in fact it does, its Conway park - just go there

and start digging. You will never, ever, have a better chance to find the treasure!

Rock,

I think it has to do with either cross streets or a street leading to a park.

Conway covers both, but the "crooner" or singer is first - telling me its a street, where "Pryor" or "Sackett" are both comdians.

I really think that it's in a baseball.

Does anyone know who Conway Twitte is or am I a real Twit?

Is he a crooner?

Came home early from work to take cold medicine so I can

get back to the hunt.

Sure is dug up out there.

There were kids yelling "here it is!" last night and night before.

I think the PP would let us know ASAP.

I was there last night and all sorts of people were saying they found...then I would watch them drive the wrong direction from the park.. hmm to get to the pioneer

press you must go downtown.. not towards maplewood idiots.... no one has found it...

Conway was an iconoclast.

Hi, Rock. You had all those good ideas about Highland, and so did I, but we were both wrong. Today's clue refers to the name "Conway"--the first being the first

name--Conway Twitty, the Crooner, and the last name being Tim Conway--the funny man. I don't know about the pointer or any of the rest of it.

Red Object - probably a Red light on top of a tower. Water on High - a Water Tower or a Waterfall.
