So if you are wondering who's the culprit...*bows* I am.. if you look down there you'll see a driveway size strip that reaches down to the grass....we did that in 20minutes. Than we each started snaking all over the place making sure we didn't miss any spots....in all don't look for it on the corner...

Next to the radio beacon tower, at the top of the sledding hill, within sight of the cathedral, capitol, train tracks, NSP stack, and first bank sign, at a high elevation, near a scenic overlook...

three snow covered Indian burial mounds surrounded by an iron fence.

Still think cherokee?

Okay... Could these three pyramids be on something - building, other structure? Doesn't MN DOT have a green pyramid-like thing on their vehicles? Or like three on top of each other???

After spending all night digging that area up I refuse to

believe it's there, and if it is it was already found

Dodo dog, were you around last year when people kept digging at the frog pond at Como? Even though the clues had moved on even if the diggers hadn't. You are stuck in the frog pond. Newell Park is the answer my friend!

There are also three pyramids shapes on the tops of bulidings and picnic areas at Mounds as well as Cher. But I think you've got it Cheryl. Don't forget to wave to us on TV. Good Luck Hey Green how was the cat show. Did you get any sleep?

Another reason I dont think its at Cherokee any more is because

I dont think they would rely on streets so much, maybe one or two

streets, but not 5 or 6 like I've seen a lot of people post

What?, Please don't tell me you really need to know where Newell is. Or do you want to waste your time? Newell is on the corner of Fairview and Pierce Butler Route just south of Energy Park Drive and the State Fair.

With as torn up as Mounds and Cherokee both are, I'm beginning to jump on the bandwagon that it's found and someone is just enjoying the frenzy. Whatta ya all think?

Bee...I see it now, thanks. No, I won't be wasting my time there...
