I don't know. I was doing fine until Clue #6. There is a big open area by the four baseball diamonds, taking care of the large area and the "off base", the only problem is I cannot figure out how to relate all the riding and steering meanings.

Any other clues you want me to explain?

Are the ball diamonds way down by the southern entrance? Do you think of base this way, or as in the fort...or different yet?

my co-worker was digging at the Capitol last night and she found the head of a papermache' horse. She for sure she found the med. because it was made out of newspaper so she thought it was in "boxed inside the word." she's convinced more than ever now it's at the Capitol.

so there is a ford plant by HF but isn't there also a Ford Parkway by Highland? Why couldn't it be referring to that?

I took mettle to mean metal (via superman) and called a man of much metal to be a Knight. I do not think there needs to be a battle

Whoa Angelic. The head of a paper mache horse. That just raises other questions. Note to self--if you find the head of a paper mache animal, look inside.

It could, dogg, but there are so many other clues that lead to HF. Well, there are also a lot of clues leading to Highland.

Hey Regg... sometimes when you play poker it's a good idea not to let all the other players know what you have in your hand. If you catch my drift.

Did that papier mache horse head have earmuffs too?

This year these clues are really something.

Regg - that's why I'm kind of playing devil's advocate....I don't want to get sucked into one park because i think the clues are very vague.

Hopefully tonight's will shed some light on SOME PARK!!!

I like fort snelling too! How well can fort snelling be seen from the part of HF near the plant. I've always spent my visits at the other end.

Hey duane, I am also throwing in paradox statements. When playing poker, you may want to lead people estray, so they bet on something they think they have, but really you do, get the drift!

TERRY VALENTINE>> No earmuffs, just a ski cap. Seriously, she brought it in to work to show me and she had ripped it apart looking for the med. I think someone just put it there for a gag.

Is that Rudy from Survivor on the Mole? I've only seen two promos and I swear I caught o glimpse of him.

For God's sake, man... If you're the Mole, get that thing checked out. Especially if it changes size or shape. Watch out if it has hair growing out of it too.

I'm glad its not Rudy. I don't think I could take it if he were around again...Maybe it is worse they have someone that even looks like him.

Hi gang! Donut Man, are you out there? I think the medallion itself is hidden inside a flattened Dove soap bar box.... what do you think of that? It says boxed inside the word... obviously the peaceful bird is a dove.... ?? :-)

Remember when the last 3 people in survivor had to hold onto that pole as long as possible and rudy just let go for no reason?

OK the only thing anyone can know for sure it what the damn thing is in. these clues can still fit any park you want them to fit.

Circular thinking can mean anything. A person of mettle can be anyone. East and west can be anywhere. lots of space can be anywhere. Riding around can be done on anything done anywhere.

Whooooweeeeee!! These clues are so descriptive this year!!!

I love watching the mole, and I thought the mole was Wendi, but she got executed, so now I think that it is Charlie or Jennifer
