I'm heading out tonight to look at a few spots in mind. I thought I had it Friday. I was at Como at the West Panic Grounds, and all of a sudden I found a tweetie card, some magazines (Circulars) and a bank deposit receipt (Bank Account), but it it wasn't there, I dug all around, but the snow wasn't that deep.

Matty - I am still here. Just had to battle with my toddler for use of the computer. He wanted to sit on my knee, but he also wanted to push the buttons.

Ares-I try to slog through the cooler a few times a day and I usually do the overnight stuff quickly. People seem to get a little loopy if they can't out and dig right away. Nice Mustang by the way. I would personally love one of the new Thunderbirds coming out this spring. Not a chance of that though.

the pavillion is known for serving good coffee but i think that clue refers to the combination of cocoa and mocha, maybe it has double meaning too

Matty - Here is my post from a few days ago.

I am strongly thinkng Highland. Here are some of the clues I have heard on the Cooler in the last few days. A number of them point to Highland. 1. GOOD LUCK - in the first clue. Horseshoes mean good luck and there are horseshoe pits at Highland. 2. Golf Courses - do not annoy. Highland has 2 golf courses in addition to the disc course. 3. Circular linking is one way of linking - Discs are circles. Links - golf course, chain links on the holes for the disc golf course. 4. East/West and "Bank" - Highland park is separated East and West by Edgecumbe. Bank = Edge hence Edgecumbe. 5. Bank may also mean the bank of the creek/stream/river that runs through Highland. I don't know the name of it, but I remember walking over a bridge at that park. 6. Someone also mentioned that the golf courses are on the West side so that we would need to stay on the East side. 7. There are lots of Trees in Highland park - pointing to "leaves". 8. I think there is a playground there also. - pointing to "playing" 9. Someone also mentioned that there are some places of private ground near Highland. 10. Someone else mentioned that circular thinking my relate to the fact that Highland was the site of the first Hunt.

New thoughts - 1. Clue #4 - "leaves you depressed" - There is a backyard waste composting education site at highland. 2. Clue #5 - Man of Steel - The footbridge that crosses between both sides of the part is made of steel. Also "close to our deal" - Dealton Street runs up to Highland park.

3. Clue # 4 - "East and west are part of our test" - Chose West and there are seven words in the sentence. West 7th is the south side of Highland.

4. Clue # 7 - "Memory Lane" as in Walk down memory lane - ie FootBridge.

5. Clue #6 - " move of base" there is a ball field there.

6. Clue #7 - "Busiest street of all" - All rhymes with Montreal which runs through Highland park.

7. Clue 1 - June - Juniper street runs into Highland.

All matches except for today's clue and a few places in the clues, but it depends on how you read what is important in the clues.

Well, Allison and I and company were out at Como earlier today. We figured we need another clue to point us in the right direction...as to where it is on Como!

Well, I am back from an uneventful trip to como... Still dont' know where to look there.... Hard to pin point and dont want to waste a lot of energy just digging anywhere.... I am working on Memory Lane I still dont have an ideas on that. Does anyone know why the fields are called McMurry?

Phillip D - I love your tag line.

I seem to have a love/hate relationship with this hunt stuff. I love it when I am right/ I hate it when I have dug a few days in the wrong park.

Phillip Diskerud

Jokysu, Thank You, I know what you mean, the last two years I have been doing that and it is very frustrating. I was just talking about that with a buddy about digging in Palace Park last year... Had a hunch about the A tower or Two clue.... but such is well... Now it is a new Year and they are not being very helpful with the clues this year.

BULLSEYE, if you're out there did you have any luck this morning? Did more hunters show up?

Later all -

Off to ride around Como. No digging probably unless I get a feeling from above.

May take a ride down that snow slide instead. That would be a lot less stressful.

Check in with you all later.

Mac-Grove Man

I have been digging today at another Location...(not a park)...and the clues fit wonderfully! Perfectly! But it is too small of an area to disclose at this time.
