I think this noodling burns more brain cells than a whole barrel o'beer.

Hi everone! Anyone going out digging? If so, where?

Otay.

So no sparklies.

Whatever!

Hattie's all taken care of and chowing on kibble - in addition to her wet food. Kits and Moms got full bellies.

As soon as the spirit moves me... I'll fro underwater and take care o'me!

Just got off the phone, hence the delay. I hope to get down to the park today sometime after 1:00. I have dad duty right now, and I think its too cold to drag these little ones out to dig.

I'm going out this afternoon, probably to check out Como and some of the other parks. Just do some scouting, seeing how the clues fit.

Green - I like the noodling. Sorry it doesn't give me sparklies. I still have a hunch it's in a non park place. I'm going to do some traveling today to see if a couple of other ideas make any sense at all.

'Kids... Otay. I'm not sure, but I think she just met you/knows you from last year and was/is worried that you weren't getting on here for some reason.

Hang. I'll call her...

Thanks. Last year I don't think I was on as much, partly because it was over before it even started it seemed.

No where, Guide. I'm leaving it on the flag pole. But I admit, would Bee nice to carry in the parade!

Sat, 01/27/2001 - 9:44 AM Permalink

The state flag has a steer?

It may, but if it does, it isn't very large!

Anyone think that bank account from clue #3 was talking about the river bank at Hidden Falls?

I knew this Hunt was small steaks...

Estaban, nope. I'm just noodling "steer clear." That's all.

Please.

Thank you.

Thanks, Will.

Thizz is 'real time' enuff for me... I'm so sleep deprived this is as fast as I can go!

green, Yes, but this is a very hard format to chat in. Thought I would just give it a shot.

I agree with Terry about it not being in a traditional park this year.

I have really been trying to figure out clue #3 as it says " if you can figure out this clue, your bank account won't be shrinking" but I didn't get much out of it....

I was so sold on MLK until the lots of space clue. That's a rec center area...non park.

TV..a parks a park.

If it were in a larger park, such as Como, would it be identified now? It seems with the larger parks, they're identified quicker, with whats left being where in the park it is. The smaller parks take quicker to identify, but they'll give where it is in th park sooner. The thing that gets me is "a place with lots of space". This would signify a larger park, if its a park. But we can't seem to identify it as being a certain park.

Guide - I have a couple of other non park ideas to check out today. It could very well be at Como. I just don't get the ahhhhhhhh.....everything fits here perfectly....feeling I usually get when we're in the right place.

As sick as it sounds, I am looking at the map of Newell park.
