Hehe, sorry Jordenn. If I were expecting to hook up with anyone here, I'm doing a bad job if they think I'm a woman ;)

ares

that's where i was, the trees and tables have all been dug up, most i talked to figure its on top of the hill, away from the fire pits.

Hey guys! Got back from the dig,made dinner, got the kids to bed and we're sittin tonight out! I have a feeling this is gonna be a long one!:)

haha- that's pretty funny Kids- we all think you're a female- I still do LOL

Terry

Well....we were out at Como again this afternoon. Saw the RV guy so now we must be in the right park, right? LOL!!

Greg Sax was out there too - but we missed seeing him.

I'm still not thrilled with the West Picnic Grounds. The man of mettle thing has me stumped and I can hardly wait to see the official explanation for that.

Jordenn

Ha, yeah Kids!! ;) HEY! Maybe you could change your name to Studman or something?!?!?! LOL! :) :) :)

Jordenn

Hey Scribe. Really dug up now, huh?

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 8:10 PM Permalink
Scribe

Terry,you don't buy Green's interpretation? I bet she was right about Hodgeson bein the guy even if she found him at Battle Creek!

I heard you were gonna eat your clues!LOL!

StepDogg

Hey Terry - Clue 5 still has me stumped the most too.

Man of steel??

Man of mettle??

Don't know.

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 8:11 PM Permalink
Leah Logan

Scribe what part were you diggin at?

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 8:11 PM Permalink
Terry

Hey Scribe! Not sure I buy that. It might be...there is a Larry Ho plague or something out in the area the Carnival activities are taking place...but then how would that fit with the rest of the clues?

Me? Eat my clues? I need them to collect the full $10,000!!!

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 8:12 PM Permalink
Scribe

Jord,yeah it's dug up but there plenty of snow not turned over if you really look.....

Ares,I wasn't at the firepit,I don't think it's there..

Hey Med Kids! He really is a guy,or he's a really good imposter......:)

green

Howdy, All!!!

Ares, how did I miss you at the fire? When I was running for dogs?

Scribe, we were looking for you today...

All, please bring wood - if you have any - for the fire, and a lantern if yous gots one, to Como tonite.

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 8:13 PM Permalink
Terry

green - we went and bought a lantern - but I am NOT digging down by the pits. It's not there and so I won't be there either.

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 8:14 PM Permalink
Scribe

Terry,I believe that IS the guy and it is just pointing us to Como and AROUND the right area.They tend to diagram an area for us with the early clues..

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 8:14 PM Permalink
ares

you were out running for dogs. i was on top of the hill with treasure digger when she pointed you out to me.

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 8:14 PM Permalink
Terry

I also like Churchill as the man of mettle - but that puts you down closer to the lake.

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 8:15 PM Permalink
ThoseMedallingKids

Okay, how does this work now? Hopefully there won't be any more misunderstandings :)

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 8:16 PM Permalink
green

Oh! You're the one that said, "Green!"

Well, "Hi!" Cute 'stache.

Ter, where will you be sos we can come see you if we wanna? And stop by the fire to warm up.

I, too, don't think ittiz there. I don't think ittiz in the pic-a-nic grounds at all, but near there.

Or ittiz over by Ryde, the pier, etc.

well, it was verde and no 'stache.

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 8:17 PM Permalink
StepDogg

Terry - But what does the man of steel line mean? That's where i'm stuck. Man of mettle could be anyone.

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 8:17 PM Permalink
Scribe

Hey Green! We didn't get out there until about 4:00 or so and left about 6:00pm.We had the whole gang with us,even my thirteen year old and her friend!LOL! We did see Dad and Mom with E&H..... We were lookin for you all but it was pretty emptied out by dinner time.

Very cute, Kids!!! :)

Sun, 01/28/2001 - 8:18 PM Permalink
Terry

StepDogg - got me! I was sure that was Clark Kent (Superman) and the man of mettle was Martin Luther King. We had abandoned the MLK idea when the clue with large space came out...went back to Como...then back to MLK and now back to Como.
