Hey Scribe... salutations!

You were moving snow in Como already? You got more ambition than me, kid.

ALAN:Thanks-Arlington Arkwright Park,you say?

There is plenty of space,and places for sleds or even skis.But 'riding around'would have to mean snowmobiles,and there is a trail.I'm not sure if it's for machines.It seems more for hiking.

Riding around should be a significant clue.That could be a fly in the ointment here.

If the park is bound by Arlington, Arkwright, and DeSoto it is Arlington-Arkwright

nildear--yes, but not likely to be again in the modern era of lawsuits and such--my opinion only, but I just don't see PP encouraging that sort of thing. Check out Derek's Site--you'll get all of the hiding places for the low low price of ....free

Duane, you'd best get a move on because you know I won't be doing any cooking tonight. So... unless you want to take me out to dinner?....

I was not moving much snow,I think it needs to be narrowed down a bit more. I got the park and the right vicinity........big place though and lots of snow! I did dig with the boys for a bit,and we made some snow angels!:)

NILDEAR:Back in 1955-the medallion was on pavement at the corner of Seventh and Robert,under a mailbox.As Scribe has pointed out-there was too much destruction by frenzied treasure hunters.Not that Scribe remembers 1955,but I was a kid then.

Sue believe it or not I won't be too far from the frog pond,just down the road a piece on McMurray field. I figured Good Luck BTW.Circular thinking would put me to irish and link me to McMurray.

LOL Downtown!

Downtown Dave is probably correct- If they were to hide it on some street corner or on a boulevard or parkway the chaos caused by such a move would ultimately end in litigation

oh, don't worry, he doesn't have to cook either when he gets home. One of the benefits of being in charge of residence halls is having the opportunity to have others cook for you every day if you don't want to do any dishes! But the cafe does have a closing time and he has a long commute.

Yeah,too bad those days are over! I wish we lived in a society where we could still do that!

nildear

The reason I wondered about hiding on the streets.....I was driving to Phalen today and 3 streets in a row were Clark, Desoto and Burr

David:There was one subject I was really great at in school and that was creative writing! I am very sure I understand this hunt! Circular thinking has also been called clustering.Linking is the next step and just figure in the duality.

I was mostly kidding, but I dont like Phalen, the clues seem to fit better elswhere. I could just be missing something.
