I may hold off until tonights clue to do any more digging though...the 5% that I'm not sure of myself may prevent me from exerting any more energies until then! I will share my thoughts tonight with anyone who is up for a late dig. Meet me at the PP at 11:00 PM. I'll be wearing my Vikings stocking cap and 1994 "Shut Up And Shiver" Carnival sweatshirt! If my hunch is correct, with six diggers we will hit paydirt tonight!

Hey folks the last clue says to put the combination of cococa and mocha together foe a lucrative location. The only thing that comes out of those words is como. Anythiing else mentioned on this board is people trying to pull you away from the site.

I am heading out now. Will spend a couple of hours going down "memoery Lane" near the carousel, where playing can be lots of fun, in my circular thinking. Be back for Super Bowl and out again for the next clue. GO RAVENS!

Only a couple clues to go and that is a big park. The last clues will just narrow it down.

Phillip Diskerud

NOt a problem Digg, I will be at the P.P. at eleven to get the paper and on my way to Como... Unless Mac, is able to tell me a lot of info as to why it is not at Como. Yesterdays clue just seems to point us to Como... The park is so big and they needed to get us there.

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 3:08 PM Permalink

around 6.30 or 7

Good morning :)

Everyone who just wants to say it's not Como because you're not resourceful enough to make everything fit, go do something else. Apply for a part time job. Donate your time to a charity. Build wicker baskets.

Do not waste mine or anyone else's time unless you're prepared to back it up with something more than "oh, I think it's just to throw us off ...the clue fits perfectly to describe the park, sure, but it's <insert your disappointing improper location here>"

...or something along those lines. I've invested too much time and energy researching and unlocking clues to hear this kind of garbage.

so how do you really feel matt....just kidding

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 3:10 PM Permalink
Phillip Diskerud

Matt, do you konw why they are called McMurray fields or who McMurray is?

diggorius rex

I here you. I've been out to Como for two straight days. I've been all over the place, and not very fond of the park...

I took the kids to parade, did some sliding (courtesy of the 4 coupons included in the button registration) didn't get to do the gog sled stuff, but every year it's fun all the same.

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 3:11 PM Permalink
Matt

The clues applied to Como and pretty much everywhere else. Locking it down to Como isn't giving it away because even the most cunning of hunters can't narrow it down to less than 2 or 3 potential locations inside the park.

Again, I'm all ears to hear how it's somewhere else, but I don't think anyone's come up with anything even worth considering.

But Matt i do think everyones opion counts.. even if its not what you believe. I enjoy seeing what other people think and why. thats what makes us all diffrent... i respect all others opions

I'm not ruling out Como, in fact unless strong indication otherwise, it's there... somewhere

I dont know why I do this, it drives me crazy every year.....

anyone else going to como today?

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 3:15 PM Permalink
donna

Matt go to my post 17690 and tell me what you think i did the research and all fits...i'm doing some more research on clue 8 and will let you know what i find.....let me know what you think

Phillip Diskerud

Been to Como once today... found a few places i like a lot... now home resting up for tonight.....

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 3:16 PM Permalink
Matt

I'm not sure about McMurray, I've got a mission before tonight to nail that completely. It bothers me that it's technically still in Como park, yet it's named something entirely different... and Como Park isn't even mentioned on the signage for the fields. I'll have more information soon.

If you're looking at McMurray, be sure to stay away from the entire broomball area.

There's far too much traffic for the medallion there. It's regularily groomed, and had snow removal services. If it *were* anywhere near there, you could count on it being at a landfill just as much as anywhere else. The cluezers wouldn't make that kind of fatal error.

Phillip i hear ya ...i think everyones stree level rises to a point where the docs could make alot of money off us....but its still a great time

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 3:19 PM Permalink
Phillip Diskerud

Yeah, I am trying to figure out why they are named that... and who it is.... that zone 3 ia big and has lots of room......

Beckster013

Donna I agree with every thing in you posting (17690) but the staute. They say that ever year just to let us no not to mess them up :)

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 3:21 PM Permalink
Matt

donna: I can't find that message. I respect people's thoughts as well, but not if they're unjustified :) Gut feelings never find this medallion. This is a prize near the size of a silver dollar in the deep snow. Luck never finds this medallion.

Rather, a combination of logic, instinct, math, and yes, a little luck... find this medallion. :)

Seems Allison is now unstuck on Arlington and is now towards Phalen Park. :) Anyone know why?
