Topher- Yeah well that suits me fine. I'm married with 3 kids. Just wanted to go with someone.

The statue of Leif Ericson does exist. Saw it there when it was found at capital mall years ago.

Hey guys just looking at last years clues and they don't refer to anything that will give away the park untill clue 6. I think we still have a while

I'm thinking about 11:45. How soon could you get there after work.

For those that like the Capital theory.....and if the statue is wearing a cape,

I just noticed another anagram : pace = cape

just something to think about.

I would have to swing by home to change into different clothes and i could probably be there by 12:30. I would need directions though.

In the line "read this well" - this well is an anagram for west hill - In the case of NP there is a bit of a ridge near Fairview.

Dunno if it qualifies as a park, but the med was there in 89.

I'm not saying *this* is the park. It's as good as some others.

you know we go through this every year wondering if the capital mall is really a park or not and whether they would hide it there. I wish we could meet the guy who writes these clues and ask him if it is a park or not.

gee i guess nobody was interested when i asked before if anyone was interested in a statue of a viking wearing a cape just south of a church with 2 towers and all the references to jessee ventura... ace, new obsession, profittable profession ect. Too late though because clues 4 and 5 dont work there without really streching it

West Side Will...you are the only person to complain and I've already apologized to you. I apologize to the rest of you if my December "SPAM" anouncement about the book was beyond reproach. Unfortunately, the minimal profit from this "your guide" doesn't warrant the cost of conventional advertising. I will never announce any new guides to you through your e-mail addresses unless you want me to.

Sincerely,

Steve Worthman

I know if I worked for the P.P. I would be really amused at the thought of sending thousands of shovel weildind maniacs to the governors doorstep after the things he has said about the P.P.

Count me in, too Steve. Even if I'm not interested in whatever ittiz, it's not THAT hard to just hit "delete".

Now if you decide a good profit-maker would be to start selling my email address, or something, that might be different.
