Grant, Understandable. But look at it this way. even if you were the only person to be smart enough to figure out the right park, your odds of finding it are really small. You couldn't dig up all the snow in the alloted time to find it. And if you were the only person out there it sure wouldn't be any fun. Part of the fun is knowing you talked to the people who found it, or sharing some really stupid ideas.

Alright, I am only going to give you all this one important

thought for the "pyramids" clue. Those "pyramids" are three

pine trees with short stumps. The pine tree forms a triangular

shape, thus like a pyramid. The stumps of the pine trees makes those

pyramids rise over the snow. So, I suggest you all look in the spot

where three pine trees are. Imagine a line connecting those pine

trees together, then search in the middle. Oh, and remember from

clue 5, those lines are "immeasurable". Good Luck!!

I can't believe there are people still trying to make this fit Mounds Park...or Beaver Lake, or Highland, or Swede Hollow.

This has got to be the latest (in recent memory) that so many people were still at so many different parks. Last year they spelled out Como in clue three. Of course, that's a larger park than this year's.

Hope it hasn't been found yet! See you at the lucky pyramid.

Sue Bee, at the http://line, change the last 4 numbers to the clue number you want and it will bring you to the clue you're looking for.

If you look in last sundays paper at the pictures of previous spots are the pyramids obvious - at cherokee park?

Cherokee Park looks like a war zone, where could it be there?

Hey Green...Hope you win at the show! We have a T-wolves game this pm. I have my fingers crossed hoping no-one finds it before this evening. Still think it's at CP.

I'll try to catch you here later. Can forward my e-mail address then.

Hey ITSINMY.....it was fun seeing you last night at CP. Good job on the "lucky" piece.

Later

We don't know where it could be at Cherokee, but are 99% sure it is there. It was hard digging last night, as alot of the snow was packed down from city trucks that were in there Friday night trimming trees. One of those trucks could've run it over and really buried it.
