Where have the Camo-crew been looking? Are they still at Marydale?

okay, the old ox trail ran essentially up 61 to warner, up jax, then westward along st anthony/1-94. HOWEVER.......last year the single word "serve" was the keyword to unlock other clues.......i speculate this years key word is deploy.....just a hunch. interpreting other clues based on "deploy" takes me to a vast, yet untraditional park....untraditional due to its joint-ownership agreement. hopefully, this will allow me (and perhaps geographically inclined coolerheads)to strike it rich far far far from the crowds at phal, cHOMO, bc, et all. cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See, I still have this hunch about Marydale, but have not actually driven out there to look, maybe this afternoon...but then some of the other clues don't fit Marydale, either....grrrrrr

Neverfound, The delete message will go away after a certain time. That is only there in case you want to delete what you typed.

Good morning everyone. Seems everyone is still lost. (Except me, mwah ha ha). But then again I always have some sort of theory.

Allison, I'm not lost!

I just don't know a cow from a bock or a steer!

Allison Wonderland

Its not at Newell, its not at Como. Its not even in Phalen or Valley (though Valley is starting to look good compared to this place!)

Green - Just 4 words

Cow paper towel holder.

Clue #7 is exactly what I said it was last night at the paper. Just took me a bit in a warm room to look through the Guide and find it.

Clue #7 is giving us a specific street name. The name is an "old way of travelling".

Hey, was anybody here lined up outside PP last night about 10:30? I forgot my wallet there and had to go in. I thought about stopping by, but wasn't sure if I would meet friendly faces or...

Terry

Eags - I think that works!

Sat, 01/27/2001 - 10:11 AM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

And this street name happens to run into the same park as the man with mettle.

Riding around refering to the bike trail near by??

Allison Wonderland

Two points determine a line and two streets determine a park. Yes I do think that Ace.

What Guide left out of his guide which I discovered last night in visiting it, is that coming up on the back part of the park is Clark St.!

Thanks for the info, I think this is exactly want the clue writers wanted, not to be found by clue #7. I'm still thinking big park! circular thinking, meaning wheel. wheelock parkway leads to both como and phalen. wonderful town? Could this be Maryland? this also leads to both!Also duel they want us thinking two!

Maybe when I get back if I haven't found it, or you can check my Yahoo club, or maybe someone else here will mention it. Nothing personal, but once you mention it its there for everyone to see who slogs through.

Yes 11, that's the plan. I left a message for the film crew, might call them again to be sure.
