Wierd that their is another me out there I have never heard

my name use outside my family!

As far as the clue goes I go with the capital theory.

I have a feeling that it wont be found this year, either it has

been turned over and buried by a beginner or it will never see the

light of day due to the none descriptive clues!

Channel 5 news team was reporting live fron Mounds park tonight! Only a few people there though. Cherokee and Chippewa are indian tribes telling you it's at Indian Mounds park. Your wasting your time.

Is this the first year of the Water Cooler? Whoever thought of it is a genius!

Someone earlier thought it might have gotten tossed in the chipper with the tree trimmings on Friday.

The other domes are on the gym thing. Maybe it has nothing to do with the cathedral, etc.

err, planet, I'm sorry.

I'm going to wait until the clue comes online, so I ought to be there around midnight. I *hope* it hasn't been found by then. :P

Capital theory??? You mean Chippewa -- CAPEWHIP. Just wondering. I have looked at WC alot and some of the suggestions I think are way off. Like today; believe everyone is taking it in the wrong direction. Just hope it's not a newby who finds it.

I am a "Newby" and I think that you guys are completely wrong with CHIPPEWA

How is this for an idea: Instead of having all of us type in the 11th clue why don't we just, like assign someone or volunteer to put it on. That way the server doesn't get clogged again!

I am new to this channel but will be wearing a white scarf tonight. i can't wait, just hope my hubby gets home in time to take over the baby doll. i think that it is between Baker and Winona near Chippewa (perhaps behind the pryamid thing) but then again my idea of where it is changes every five seconds. Ill start writing them down so I don't wander around aimlessly. If anyone's in my spot I might have to hit them on the head with my hoe. Well, maybe not.Ta Ta, see you at the frozen tundra.

sounds good i'll do it.

Every clue that relates to Cherokee also relates to Mounds. The PP has got all of you brainwashed on the Cherokee Park theory. And you fell for it!!

isn't getting winona from bits of words in 3 different sentances a bit of a stretch?

Sleuth, your right none of the clues point in that direction. We all are just trying to make this clue fit cherokee park. We like being mislead. I have been doing this for 15 years and I am 20. Please do not disrespect us. Happy hunting!

Digger

Forget the futile snow we've dug.

Wipe the scowl from your mug.

Raise the pick, the hoe, the spade.

Let the hunters vow be made.

Soon will come another clue.

Then the hunt begins anew.

I leave you now for I embark

Upon my quest at Cherokee Park.

Johansen - I disagree - I think it's Cherokee, but nowhere near the place that everyone else is looking! I think that people are just reading what they want into the clues.

It's a stretch, but after hours of digging in the frozen tundra, stretching feels good.

Does anyone know someone that is getting the clue from the paper so that it can be relayed here before 11:30. Also, I will put the new message on. Anyone else just let us know.

I know I have been making every clue fit the shoe. Whatever works ,go with it! I thought that cape was Pace (one pace from the hip roof. Oh well , I guess I need everyone's help here.) Glad to have found u guys. In a way I want this madness to end, but yet wish we could have a medallion hunt every week. good luck and god bless-
