No, I'm going to bed. I don't think this cold is going to let me do much more digging.

Have yet to pick up a shovel, myself. Don't see reason. As of now I see it as if some farmer told me they buried 10 large in their whole corn field, I wouldn't pick up a shovel until I knew roughly where it was. I know which corn field it's in, but the rest is all speculative at this point. The way I see it, I've got 2 fewer days of fatigue under my belt than lots of folks. I'll take my chances with a happenstance finding.

Annette, my grandpa and mom stopped off and looked at their clues right in front of the mail box. Legend has it my grandpa set his gloves on top of the mail box too!

Here's a new thought the zoo is part of the park maybe they just tossed the damn thing into the polar bear pit to add a little extra challenge to the hunt

NOW THAT'S BEING BOLD

For any disbelievers left it is COMO, and the memory lane or old traveling thing whatever it was its the trolley

I may have seen that, but about the only thing that stands out in my mind from today were the guys in the bright orange.

the shoveler

nope my beer is stronger then 3.2, not allowed in the park, I know of some eastsiders who'll have some there too, just look for the pickup with the tail down and the gun rack.

On the BOLD theme I thought they should have tossed it out onto the thin ice of Marydale

I thought the riding around was maybe the amusement park. But I can also see it as being the bike paths by the lake.

I feel as though, all along, the first clue had pointed us to Como. June, the flower for that month is Rose, and Rose street is right at Como. Try where Rose intersects Victoria

Ares, all my life, my parents brought me to the parks when i was young. My first memory of the hunt is being in a park at age 7 with my mom, uncle and his friend. We were the only ones in the entire park. My mom and I got Hot Choc. at Mcdonalds afterwards. Eversince I have been involved, but not every year. I separated from the folks for hunting the year of Cherokee '98!
