We should find out tonight what Park it's in.

A few thoughts: 1) "placeS to gain relief from the rain" --> Places plural. 2) "will serve to help you" --> "serve" seems unnecessary; the rythm would be better if it weren't there, so it must mean something (don't have any ideas as to what, though). 3) I still say that "read this well" just might mean a plaque on a well or drinking fountain (etc). This is just the sort of word trick the the PP likes to play.

If the clue reveals the park tonight, I think it will be Highland. If not I'll stick with Palace, or Newell.

Why Palace Tim?

they wouldn't put it in rice....they would have a hell of a time trying to convince crazy medallion hunters that it isn't in the swan ice scupture.....to much damage could be done there

Rice is a perfect place to put it

Palace is pretty small, and if the clue isn't revealed tonight it will be at a small park. It was just at COMO a few years ago, but I'll keep my options open.

I personally have elimanated como, rice, and harriett and maybe phalen too because of the locked gates.....

went out driving tonight , to see if anything would click. Started with mounds, not a soul in sight, no visible towers (except the radio tower) there is the pavillon but no barbeques .. Went to highland, not very many people there either and that one doesn't seem to fit. Last stop Phalen, there is a visible tower there. Also off in the distance can see two radio towers, the ones with red lights. but no one was there either...

I think a lot of people are waiting to start hunting to see if they give away the park tonight...

How does chase fit with Newell?

How does cooking work with Langford?

How does it all work with Palace?

Palace is an educated guess on the fact that its small. No one knows for sure yet, so I am just guessing. Although, I wish I had a perfect explanation for any park. Just wait for tonight.

So what's the wrod? Any new ideas on Clue 4 since last night?

Wed, 01/26/2000 - 9:13 PM Permalink
Kiwi

That's the whole thing no one would think of rice

I'll try this one last time: "read this well" could refer to a plaque or something on a water source (well). Does this make sense to anyone else??! Can I get a witness??

Wed, 01/26/2000 - 9:13 PM Permalink

I am not here to cut down anyones guesses cuz it could be anywhere but RICE to me is out of the question just because of all the ice sculptures there....

tim_the_hunter

I was leaning toward Newell anyway. I don't know why anyone jumped on me for sugesting it might be at Palace, it was just an idea.

Wed, 01/26/2000 - 9:14 PM Permalink

you have a witness - but where??? That's the question

Wed, 01/26/2000 - 9:14 PM Permalink

kid: sounds like a good theory to me...hmmm...let's see who we can get to go from park to park and read every sign in sight :)

I just wanted to hear your ideads on Palace Tim - Sorry

The Artist For…

The only reason I like newell is because so many people wasted so many hours there last year...me being one of them...but who knows...it could still be ANYWHERE!

Kid, sounds good, over the last couple of years there has been a clue that substantially cuts down the part of the park to look in once we find the park. 954 last year

Me too Tim, sorry. Good luck at Newell all you die hards!
