SVEN - Sorry to get on your case, there doesn't seem to be too much else to discuss. At least I finally got you to say something w/o a refference to GL . . .

Well, iconoclast is like a rebel, nonconformist. There is a Howard street that crosses Conway. As in, Howard Stern

to the south the has a piramyd shape Transulent peak. In clue 5 Conway rec put in a peewee hocky arena for the new kids to learn how to play the game and to

learn to skate. Clue 3. Numbers 9 and 5 adorn the front door right behind a score board and a sign that reads NO Golfing Clue 2. There are sliding hills to the east

of the area.

KenB---The ice rinks didn't look the same size to me.

KenB....The ice rinks are different size

KenB

Don't look at the wood boarders. and i'm sure that the size is estimated. If you omit the wood boards it looks to be pretty close to the same size

In Clue No. 7, it says "Sift."

How come nobody cares that I saw a waterfountain that was shaped like the number four near the playground? Don't you think that is at all significant?

Digger Bart

I guess thats possible if you only look at the ice itself...I still have my doubts though

Where do you get "sift"?

There are lots of poles near the fountain, but, like the rest of the park, it is pretty well dug up around there. I tried, but...

Can there still be a spot uncovered at Conway.

Can anyone tell me why Hillcrest was stopped?

I have been reading here since day one of this wierd game, reading ideas and some being pretty far fetched. however Conway is a total ZOO has anyone thought

about CROSBY there a quite a few people digging there, OR COMO ?? CONWAY seems just too easy of a choice ! Anyone else with the same opinion ? (

however far fetched it may be?!?!?!?)

There was a water fountain shaped like a four? How would you do that?

Nick, was it in-between the fields and the kid's playground?

Well, I was out there at noon and walked around it. It is pretty close in size.

Just a thought about the fountain__ I think you may be thinking a little to hard!!!! I don't think that is the main point of the clue!

Also Channel 5 and channel 11 are setup between the two ice rinks waiting - seems pretty funny

Randi- After having been to Conway, and being pretty familiar with Como, I have to admit that I don't share your opinion.

Yes, the 4 was in between the fields and the playground. It looks like a 4 because there is one half for adults and one half for the kiddies. Like this!! Well the

drawing didn't work, just trust me. ! !

Hello, new person to the hunt, just in for a friendly hint or two as to what park the clues seem to point at (for the time being, anyways). Anyone want to help?

Iconoclast: Thomas Conway was the head of a conspiracy to remove George Washington as commander of the Continental Army. Iconoclast if I ever heard of one.

There is a seemingly Vacant house at 459 Ruth St., If you line up all the clues I'd say along the first base side of the Baseball diamond, but I was digging there on

Sunday, and Mondy night, and it's pretty well dug up. Although I must admit that some people out there seemed pretty non chalant about being to thorough.

Personally I think someone already found it, and is just sitting back laughing at us. My question is: the PP states medallion ust be turned in immediately, but how

would they know? What would be penalty?
