I was at Mounds when I heard those guys shout...if it was the same groups of guys...saying that they found it....they were too tantilizing and obnoxious to actually have found it. That's not the sort of behavior you'd expect from someone who has actually found it.

Just got back from some brutal-ass digging at CP. Beginning to wonder if its actually there. I still have a theory about the clue that had the word lucky in it. If you know CP and the 3 pyramids, you'd probably know what I was talking about.

ITS...POCKET: First line of clue 8, it could be by a walking path but if their not obvious(unplowed) that would make it tougher.

If your standing by the highest part of the park, next to the pyramids(w/the #s 777 on them-'the lucky one) you can perfectly see the NSP smokestack as it rises above the horizon

ALLIE GO --- THEIR ATTITUDE WAS NOT LIKE THE NORMAL JOKERS YOU HAVE. I WANT TO KEEP HOPE BUT UNDECIDED. ONE THING THAT MAKES ME WONDER ARE THE PYRAMIDS AT CHEROKEE ALL ON THE SAME BUILDING IF SO THAT WOULD ELIMATE THE TO AND FOR.
