at the frog pond, jc. that's where we're all at, and why we're still here.

I agree with ReggMan. That's the location of the East and West Picnic grounds, too. Circular thinking=the 3 stone firepits at West grounds. The treasure, however, is out of view of these, up from the depression, at the playground, where I'll have my smile. Circular drive

Thanks, Jordenn. Why do you think it's there? What leads you to the park?

JC, you made me laugh. I kinda feel that way about now. Guidance please!!!

TD... if you look back about 200 posts you will see 2 postings from Scribe, that is why I am thinking Mc Murray. Lots to type so I am taking the lazy way out... forgive me!!! :)

Jesus Freakin Christ, I guarantee you its at a smaller sized park, if it was at a huge park they would have said something about Como or Phalen, Nothin of that. Id say its AA or McMurray

Thanks! Don't mind looking back. Does the clue only come out here at midnight? I'm hoping it will be earlier. Have to get up early and can't stay up - need sleep. Was up late last night.

BAYGENTDUDE, I saw the gold letter too? Someone on the chat line told me that it was not bold in the PP paper that if I was on netscape it would not be visible. That person said since I was on internet explore that it showed up in bold.

rich, i drink a coke every morning when i get to work regardless of how cold it is outside. and as long as the price of it at work is the same as the price of coffee and hot cocoa, i'm not gonna change anything. notice i didn't say captain cokes, though. :)

ares..i usually do the diet coke thing..i was just puttin' the first thought of "you sailin' on the pond" with being a "captain"..again I am a puzzle junkie and that was one of my riddles...guess i'm not to good at this...all though a captain/coke(diet) is pretty nummy:)

as much as i'd like to trust the clue, brandon posted it at 2259, and mom hasn't been all that great at getting the clues out in a timely fashion lately. but, since i am gonna trust it, it's as useless as the last 7 for narrowing anything down.

rich, so do i. the diet is just one more thing to type, so i frequently omit it.

so, brandon, the govern is obvious. mending fences a subtle reference to the, uh, fiasco, between jesse and venturaland?

wolf, how about the playground at farnsworth elementary right across the street. it's a lot less of a stretch than to jump from jhs to arlington, and it's just as public as a rec centre.
