Not bad-and if ShepHERD Road is likely,I'd say stick with it.

Here's something to feel good about...if we don't find the med, we don't have pay taxes on it (Just filed mine today, so on my mind!)lol

As for the cattle at the State Fair-I think Langford Park is closer than Como.

You'd have to get away from the herd,but you'd still have to be fairly close.I don't think it's the cattle herd.

Can't tell if clues are metaphoric, literal, or just convoluted.... :o)

David Hulbert

Or you could mean the Fair Grounds itself-the clues don't actually say it's in a park this time.I give it more credence now.

true.

Crooks, that's the nature of the game.... :)

ok things are sounding better - shepherd rd sounds good. It talks about highvoltage powerlines having large colored balls on them to warn of low flying aircraft - (circular linking?). and lots of space (near HF)

Hey Jord! Still not sold on my theory,huh! It's good to keep our options open,but I'm still bettin on this one!

Railroad track runs down Concord, stock yards (cattle), over Mississippi then down the ShepHERD road side. Don't ask me what I am thinking. Maybe it's an old way of travel over the river before the bridges were built. Wabasha and High Bridge, East and West side of Harriet.

It's NOT Como park proper......It's not defined as a park,but a ballfield.

But Abe Lincoln didn't have a herd of cattle-or think in circles,or play baseball in that non-park.

Not me Jordenn, I know what you are doing!!! I am content to watch from the sidelines.... :o) But, I do hope that you win. Agreed Pryzmshere!!! I think we can safely establish that as a fact.....
