After tonight's clue, we're not likely to hear anything more from those that believe Mounds is it.

we're up to FOUR VOTES for Cherokee.

There's a great sledding hill (if you're a kid) near the intersection of Wyoming and Chippewa, going down the hill toward Annapolis. It's where I used to go sledding as a kid.

Lots of kids were sledding down that hill today...not a long, high hill but great for little folks.

Terry, the big question is though, where those kids 'zooming'? Pretty tough to do on that hill...

Hey Mother YVI One of us is in our 30's and not single and one of us is single and not in our 30's. Does that mean the treasure is in Cherokee Park?

Airbourn, Most of the kids were younger and I bet they would say they were zooming. The more it's used, the faster they will zoom.

I didn't see one when I was there.

was digging at cherokee today, my kids had their sleds, my son got halfway down the hill, and said, "dad, this isn't fun!" maybe when the snow isn't so soft/wet they would zoom? i'm counting on it :)

We heard that there is something called Rosebud Pasta and it's hidden in that box. Could that be true?

Have never seen a rosebud statue at Cherokee. Are there any statues at Cherokee? I'm sure I've never seen any.

selma or patty (the single one). yes, i'll be at cherokee soon!

Hmmm, a rosebud statue at Cherokee? I used to live on Cherokee, and I don't recall one. (Doesn't mean it's not there, tho...)

What's the deal with mode/code/lode?

FYI--Prospect Park is not at the corner of Baker and Cherokee. Prospect Park is on Prospect and Bidwell. The tennis courts are in Cherokee.

"The single one" Heh - cracks me up. There's nothing like a good treasure hunt to really bring out date potential, huh?

I gave the basketball court a serious once-over last night. Jordan wouldn't have been proud, and I found no treasure...

what does everyone think its hidden in?

it might be a little far fetched, but i think it might be in a Dole pinapple can. this is why.....you know how we got dome from demo and mode i think lode could mean dole.

Air - demo and mode are both/'two' anagrams of "dome", which two of can be seen from Cherokee. Lode - minining term - copper - metal is that the top of the Cathedral is made out of, which also can be seen from Cherokee.

Two's and "double" are very important this year.

"Hey, is that the medallion in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"

I'll be the one with the black NWA hat, and green jacket.

I can't imagine a dough-covered medallion could've made it by the wrath of the Cherokee Park squirrels. They're rowdy little guys...

OK, people. "Double division" is the city/county border that runs along Cherokee, Annapolis Street. That's that.

La Rosa Pasta is apparently made on the West Side. Some think the medallion could be in one of their pasta boxes. Close enough to "rosebud," I suppose.

--Cherokee: many votes

--Beaver Lake: 1.5 votes

--Mounds Park: conspicuously absent from voting
