I am going to dig my heart out after the clue!

hey hunters, I haven't gone through all the messages, but I haven't seen any Highland talk. I think it would be cool since the first treasure was there, to have an anniversary treasure there 50 years later. Clues 'circular' and 'links' could refer to the disc golf area at Highland?

If it's there I sure hope you find it if I can't.

I have a feeling #7 will point people to HF, one problem, the park will be closed after 10!

Johnny - I thought of that this afternoon....

Also, it makes a comment about "playing" so maybe you just have to check out every hole...i dont know

A few people earlier have mentioned Battle Creek Park as a possibility. Besides McKnight being the man of steel, how do the other clues fit?

The circular linking clue can spell out city, and HF links the cities together!

Well...I can't see Mom hiding it at HF since they will close at 10...if that's the case.

I really don't think Battle Creek, there's no other clues leading there!

Hidden Falls is out by the Ford plant.

Stepdogg - I just have a weird feeling about the whole circular thing, and bringing it back 'full circle' to Highland lights my bulb...

The clue says it links the TREASURE.....not cities

It's been at Hidden Falls twice, including '93

That's always what I thought.

I was always thinking Eastview up to now, but after last night not so sure.

There are baseball fields there, but I cannot relate riding around to it.

What clue is that StepDogg?

Fri, 01/26/2001 - 6:21 PM Permalink
StepDogg

and johnny, the whole east/west thing....there are 11 holes to the west of antonio drive and only one to the east....also a ballfield to the east.

I know but it says that circular thinking is one way of linking! If you think circular and come up with city. Then you are linking up the cities and finding your treasure at HF!

Stepp Dog, Disc golf? Highland?

Hey...i'm not saying you guys are wrong, i just dont know what to make of these clues

Hello!

Big plan to get out of work early to dig got whittled away and soon I was there as late as usual. Really sux!!!

Looks like everyone has their own interpretation of the clues.

For what it's worth - the only thing that bothers me about any of the usual big parks is the fact that nothing has been said yet about a park - just public ground. No water. No trees. No picnic stuff. Only bases.

Could "off base" mean, in terms of baseball, that you are on the bench? If so, could they be pointing us to the sidelines of a baseball field?

17690 is making me think! I may need to do some background research on that! HF Still looks better, but Highland is getting to me

Regg man my father- in -law and i did all the research last night and it all works so far

Alot of the big parks work....that's the problem!

It seems like either near baseball fields or an army reserve base! The victorious thing sounds like the army.

I really think highland with all the stuff comming out on charles shultz lately

HF and Highland work the best!

At Highland, we can have my friend look out for people, he lives on the park!

I think the 7th clue will tell us THE park. It's about time!

hey cougar, is it still at valley???

Fri, 01/26/2001 - 6:38 PM Permalink

I really don't suspect valley! It just doesn't go together

Highland has no statues, however; and it says stay away from golf courses if you are leaning toward that disc throwing area.....

Cougar

Teddy.... Never thought it was at Valley.

I always thought Eastview, but now not sure.

Fri, 01/26/2001 - 6:41 PM Permalink
regman

I think Hidden Falls seems like the place. And sspclassof69, disc golf courses don't count as golf courses, they just don't want you screwin' up fairways and greens of real golf courses
