There's a phone number you can call to see if it's been found. I would hope the sysop would tell us.

The number is in the newspaper. Unfortunately, mine is now lining the bottom of my parrot's cage (Miss Lucy), and forgive me if I don't run to get it.

I think if combined with the swings you may be able to make out 3 pyramids.

Did you know that the three great pyramids at giza are in the same arrangement as the three major stars in orion's belt? Therefore, I predict that the constellation orion will be visible from the park where the medallion is found!

Read these words. The roofs are 4 sided and there are three roofs. Two are the shelter and one is the bathroom. The roof shapes are prymid shaped. Ok got it now.

OK, people. Read clue eight and clue seven again. Now remember the wise adage, "let the clues lead you to the park, don't try to make the clues fit your park."

I was at the spot just a few minutes ago. There's quite a crowd out there. The three pyramids are exactly that, three pyramids, one of which is lit. Go there now if you like.

Hi all. I just returned from Cherokee after being at Mounds for hours. It looks like it's Cherokee. Quite a crowd still. And, no, it hasn't been found yet.

hi dick heads I think you all need to get a clue, and start searching in an area that is well to do. later

ATTENTION MEDALLION SEARCHERS....

Mounders! Stay where you are! We don't need any more people looking next to the park building with three pyramids on top of it at Cherokee Park.

The "double division" should have nailed it down for you. But if you're still at Mounds, you may as well stay there.

I think it's probably Cherokee because the three bathrooms have pyramids on top...but there are bones in the mounds at Mounds. But I'm still thinking it's Cherokee.

It is at Cherokee. I have been there three days in a row. I just returned. Everything fits. About 100 people give or take a few. I will return in the morning. Alot of ground to cover.
