Hulk and A...please insult each other privately, as in e-mail, and save the space on the bulletin board for us serious treasure hunters. No one cares how evil and rude

you can be to each other.

Good luck, Kitten! The word they goofed on was "place". They said it was plane. But someone on here earlier said she called and the PP didn't know about it, so it

was a typo, nothing deliberate. It's supposed to be "place".

Red object in the sky (not red light) flying down hill (NWA Red tails) Since when was Twitty ever a crooner...there was only one crooner..Bing Crosby. Looking at

water on high...the cliffs over looking crosby lake and the river. History is Fort Snelling looming across the river. Hidden falls could be the translucent peak. You

have highway 5 (7th street) and I 494 signs. Josiah Snelling is in many a tome. Studying the past with a blast (Fort Snelling was an Army Training base during

WWII.)

Just a thought!

Mrs. Banner

some of you are making me nervous that it is not at conway. i don't thing i could bear starting over at a new park. Although a while back i did consider hidden falls

(east river road) due to the waterfalls (water from above) and there are red balls on electric transformers warning low flying aircraft. Even so, nothing fits as well as

conway.

Is there a Short St.(or Ave., Pkwy. ect.) Because there was a famous crooner named Short and the funny man could be Martin Short?

Tome is also a part or segment, or a cutting instrument. A diamond can cut glass, so it could be on part of a baseball diamond.

Trees in a line" Woodrow Wilson" a street that runs along Conway, Conway Twitty. It's in a Hostess Snowball, pobably not in it's origianl spot. It's pretty dug up.

unfortunately, "I"

Mandi, The famous name has to be first name for one person and last name for the funny person - Short doesn't work. Conway is the answer - if everyone would

get out there and look, it would be found by now!

Everybody PLEEESSEE, what don't ya'll understand? Flying downhill are the Airplanes flying to a lower elevation the St.Paul airport. The red objects are the red

balls on the telephone wires, and the peak is the waterfall, the crooner is Bing Crosby and the funny man is Norm Crosby. And they blasted the caves by there.

Not at Crosby read the clues .conway is the first name. and the last duh.............if you want to find it look right in front of the building close to conway street. it s on

thr ground and the snow is still white there and has not been dug deep enough to bare ground.all objects can be seen there. 9 trees in a line 5 lite poles surounding

you 4 backstops not all in sight ..somewhere.. to old to look but helped build the place years ago live close.. it is there.............pick up check. look for a softball cut

in half and retaped .

Behold... the power of cheese!

think of trees in a row - from this a name will appear...

when I think of trees in a row, I think of an orchard. Orchard street borders Como park.

I'm sure this has already been suggested... just adding it again.

I can't wait until tonight's clue... I am going out later on after 11:30 - I can't imagine if this thing is at Conway that it has not been found yet. i have been there the last

two nights, it's SOOO CRAZY. Does everyone still think 2 planes are the 2 rinks?? Good luck :)

Thanks, Lester! I've gotta run my kid to an appt. but maybe will make it there later. If anyone sees a family of 5 with 3 pre-teen, obnoxious boys, that's us! (Maybe

no one cares, but I thought I'd let you all know)

Oh I get it! All of you crosby fans must want to just divert the attention away from Conway. That must be it, because HOW MANY TIMES DO PEOPLE HAVE

TO EXPLAIN THE CROONER FIRST NAME AND FUNNY MAN LAST NAME?

For all the people that are digging somewhere else besides Conway are really wasting your time. The watertower with the big 3M logo in it is where they're talking

about and j the translucent peak is Sunray Mall. 459 is an address on a house facing the baseball fields by the scoreboard. Look in the outfield territory. Don't waste

anymore hours digging anywhere else.

Grant- You keep saying that, but can you give ONE compelling reason why it isn't there? Anything that doesn't fit with the clues given? Any of the clues that can't be

covered in one way or another?

Gotta agree with Grant, not at Conway!! It's not a park!! It's a recreation center!! They said it would be at a PARK!!!!!

Wed, 02/03/1999 - 3:20 PM Permalink
Rodd

Grant go ahead and look somewhere else. You just don't get it, do you? The first name of a "funny man" and the Last name of a "Crooner" have to be the same!

Bing and Norm Crosby have the same LAST name. Stop trying to push people to the wrong park - we need as many people as possible to look at CONWAY so it

can be found today!!!

This is why it's not at Crosby: What's in a name is today's little game As a pointer it could be unsurpassed Two men share it one and the same A crooner goes first

and a funny man last
