good, I can't get the other site to work. Don't forget to clip your coupons.. I need to make sure to get my button registered. Didn't get that done last year.. This is kinda fun, but makes work that much harder to get up for..

The prize is a potential $10,000. That will bring in new folks, the kind who need or want fast cash. Some of those people may dig on a golf course. PP just wants us to stay off. Nothing more in that clue in my opinion. Given the crowd control at Conway last year, PP would very likely, but not necesarily push the disk in a park with a greater carrying capacity.

So, what I am saying is that don't discount a park with a golf course based solely on clue 1---the field is open!

Sweet, I missed hopefully I'll catch the next one- oh you cares- what happened?

I don't know that they'd rule out smaller parks. Once they get it narrowed down, I'd imagine a certain area gets just as crowded.

Well this is alittle of the hunt subject but for u wrestling fans, here goes. Y2J won the IC Championship, New Age Outlaws beat the Acolytes. Mae young won the swimsuit competition and she showed her puppies. yuck. HHH beat Cactus Jack after he gave him a pedigree on some thumb tacks. Kurt Angle lost to Tazz and Rock won the rumble by beating Big Show at the end. Now back to the hunt!

I dont keep up so i thought i would ask since we got to get off over annalyzing! Thanks! Birdie- is there a chance you are 15?

Right Allison. I agree. I am just trying to engage in SPECULATION. My speculation is that a big park, a big prize. One could also go with big prize--tougher to find, ie, a neighborhood park that people from, oh say, Bloomington might not think of if they weren't familiar with St. Paul. (no offense to suburbanites intended--just that St. Paul has corners that are tough to find for non-locals!) Only one clue--thus the wild speculation! However, I am glad to see the Newell mania has not yet started.

last year was fun, We were on the right half of the park digging up on the right street Ruth I think it was, there before all the snow was dug up, should have kept on digging! We didn't get the house numbers figured out though.... Kind of rough to go diggin in the middle of the night when you have to get up early though!!!! Next two weeks going to be rough getting up in the morning..

Well last year, me and Y2G were at the pitchers mound of the field it was next to, but that was the closest we came. We were right on top of it when it was at Cherokee. Dunno how we missed it but I am sure you have all been there!! Well hopefully the Dub-C Knobs can figure out these clues and meet up to find this one.

think it is pure luck once the park is narrowed down, you think the thing must get tossed around a while before someone comes across it... But the hunt is fun, and we need something to do to kill the winter blues..

HELP! I'm trying to log onto the chat page and it keeps coming back with the the login page. Says my handle and every variation I can think of, it already in use. UGH! I wanna chat! Oh well. Guess I'll have to hang out here for now and try the chatting another time. I'm in Chicago at the moment, but will be back tomorrow night. Couldn't wait to start reading about the noodling. The over-analyzing has begun, hasn't it? Here's a toast to another great year of digging! The snow came just in time!

Yeah, I tried to sign up for a handle, but it kept coming back with the login page blank. Don't know what's going on. Even says my handle is in use. I tried variations, with no luck. I guess I'll try again tomorrow.

Hey Birdie I am back and i probably won't leave here anytime soon. I see someone got you talking wrestling. You got back on track pretty quick though. Hey i got this question for you. How does this college expect me to be on the cooler all night and still get my homework done? What a joke, well anyways new clue soon. i agree about the vague part, i am not expecting anything exciting.
