baba....I brainstormed the extract theory (vanilla) too. Seems too much of a leap to be where you're headed....almost tempted to make a 'babs' from 'babs and the boys' comment here!

Has Joe ON GL summarized anything of worth????????????

PIE -- go to Swede. I don't care....i'm just pointing out the obvious.

Obvious What?

StepDogg

THAT THERE IS NO SHELTER AT SWEDE.

the garage think tank will be heading to midway soon to grill and hunt to tailgate and search.......

Alright. Once again, Swede sounds like a very good option. The "Relief from the Rains" clue could very well have to do with drainage and topographical relief, of sorts, which is exactly what is found at Swede.

Forget all these parks - it's at Dunning or Oxford!

I'm not sure that 4 means picnic shelters!!

I'm not convinced, either, Pie.

We must not limit ourselves with that clue.

Its not at dunning, it is to close to a school that might get damaged

I AGREE, Pie......

I've been magnetized to SWEDE and I can't figure out why but alot of the clues can be pulled out of that depression down there!!

Oxford , Dunning or Palace

Logan, are you serious????!!!!!

Also, If I insulted anyone by saying LOL, I apologize. I thought LOL meant "lots of luck." I'm not "hip", I'm not "with it" I'm not "all that."

I got me a theory about Swede, I might grabs me a shovel too.

OK OK geez....don't tar and feather me or anything....I am just trying to make a little sense out of these clues.

Are people still looking at Highland?

Logan, Logan...been to one of those three; VERY interesting....

Logan, you have my ear and my attention...

Please share a reason or two if you don't mind.

Please give back my ear.

But Logan, only half the clues fit......

ATTENTION--ATTENTION--past finders of the treasure!!!! Many people would like to see a group photo for the Treasure Hunter's Guide "Hall of Fame". Please send me an e-mail to see if we can get together at the park. Give me your hunting schedule for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

Thanks,

Steve

It's somewhere and since those parks are close to me - that's where I think it is

have to shoot down the helen KELLER idea... why would they refer to a blind woman as having a 'well-trained eye'??? makes abolutely no sense... FOGHORN....

Also, wouldn't Swede offer several alternative hiding places besides under the snow? If the PP lacked the faith that we'd have snow during the hunt, they might be quick to consider that Hollow.

Check the clues, Logan.....

Logan....

I too viewed one of 3 afore mentioned parks...got most of the clues to fit.

Listen the "tracks" involve a Railroad

I'm all for Swede. However, can sombody sell me on the Battle Creek idea?

PIE

To make a new concept fit into an old statute makes tortured law with tortured results.

It is difficult to work on a hunch but when the clues begin to add up the hunch seems much more viable!

The process of elimination is always important so as to narrow the scope of the hunt!!

You must remember, I could be dead wrong but I swear I'm giving my braincells the workout of their life!!

It could be at Hague park

I have officially dropped BC from the A list!!!

Where is Hague park? I must have missed it over the last 8 years.

Logan..head over there and start surveying it. Your either on to something...or on something.

Dammit! I have to go back up to school on Sunday...this sucks.

the garage logic think tank will now be leaving work to head out to hunt and tail gate at midway.....behold the power of cheese

I don't need to head over anywhere I can see it from my house- and no I am not on anything

No way Logan.....1/2 acre park.....

Just a minor point. If you criticize people's ideas too harshly, even if they seem really stupid, you may keep someone else who has a genuinely good idea from saying anything because they are afraid it will also be considered stupid. Besides, some of these theories are genuinely entertaining.
