Newell was the last place I stopped tonight. I must say I only stopped there because so many seem to think it's there now. I will have to say, now that I have been out to Newell this year, I am almost positive it is not there. Fairview, pleasant, towers, etc. These clues fit just as well in about 6 different parks that I've scoped out now...and so far, everyone of them seems better than Newell. I was one of the first in Newell last year, and one of the last to leave, so I pretty much have avoided it this year, seeing as from memory...none of it seems to work...usually there is a street name or two included...but Newell people look at yourselves...you guys are turning practically every word into some street association...Going a little too far I think. I bet this treasure hunt goes right up to the end.

the first person to mention triad newell was cosmo cat, i was here d00d, just do a search and you'll see the first person to post triad was cosmo , me boy :)

we need to be given credit where credit is due :)

think newell, but it could be wrong, fun diggin with my bud though

nice to meet you terryvalentine and digginqueen

and of course always good to run in to mr. kirk condie as usual, always a good sign that you might be in the right park :) Besides Condie found it at Newell in 84, Cherokee in 92, and 8 years later it only makes sense that he finds it again in Newell Park 2000 !! ;) (you gotta keep your streak alive)

GOOD LUCK -^^- okie dokie -^^-

My observation after slogging through over 500 messages= Allison Wonderland is very wise and all who refuse to listen to him are foolish.

Hiya Dave and DigginQueen! Nice meeting you too!

Interesting evening at Newell. Got there about 11 and did some scouting. Because of needing to see the multiple picnic shelters, we weren't as excited about the tennis courts as we were about the basketball and volleyball court.

Then onto the turning machine...There were several things we thought of as turning machines. First was the BNSF hub across Pierce Butler from the park. Then there was those hoe things in the playground area that scoop and then turn and then dump. The Wheeler thing though seemed the best fit.

And for those that doubt the hawkeye pierce connection to the one boardering street to Newell, look back at the clues from 1984. It was worded differently, but Hawkeye Pierce was used then too. Well trained eye would be a keen eye...sharp...piercing. And maybe it had nothing to do with Hawkeye - but it did for me.

For those of you, like me, spent some time at Newell last year to end up at Conway in the end, just think of it this way - We were only a year early or the person hiding the medallion was a year late.

Hope to see you all out there tomorrow. But first I will need some sleep.

Good Morning!

I was at Newell last night and I met some of the Cooler Crew! Wright Winger, Electric Duane, and Lorreita it was nice to meet all of you! I apologize if I missed someone, after all it WAS past my bedtime!!!LOL!!!! I was surprised that we were able to find out the park so early, even though it is at a small park. I remane optamistic but I believe tonights clue will only confirm Newell. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!

P.S.

I have decided to collect little blue disks/pucks. So if any of you find any at the park, try to contact me. I especially need a winter carnival one to complete my collection!!!LOL

Beast, click on the very top banner with the w/c and the Cooler Head and that'll take you to the front page. Scroll down to where it talks about The Hunt, then click on the link to the new clue.

Tim, no. I over slept until 12:30 and then figured I'd never get inside the park. Figured it would have been found by now...
