Maybe just hiring the neighbor kids for cheap money, then you wouldn't need to be out of the car. You could just tell them where to dig by walkie talkie. Just tell them it is a great adventure and that they get to actually use the walkie talkies. Kids will eat it up. :) LOL
The most I can bring myself to do so far is drive around and a little walking. With a 9-5 job working for the man, I realize that I am not in college anymore and my energy is now finite. This year in particular I think the plan will be to lay back, not lurk mind you, but pull out the digging implements when and only when I know my effort is not in vane. Not to be misconstrued as bandwagon jumping, mind you.
Huntergirl - I was big on Highland a couple nights ago. I could match many clues, but I am having difficulty matching these last two clues. What are your thoughts on Highland?
Agreed Duane. However, I was so convinced the thing was at Valley yesterday, I did some excavating, if only to create my own near miss story. Now I am just waiting for more clues to fit someplace else--my crew is scheduled to dig next on Sunday--by then I hope to have something more to go on.
Hubby is stuck on Como, is there a wall there by the lake? You knowm Como Blvd runs around the lake and it does separate the park into east and west...
It's the 'man of mettle'that seems to be near the prize.Senor DeSoto?"Look for his name around our deal"-rather than Clark who takes you to the site from the South.This would make it on the west side of this park,that I still don't know the name of.
Yes, Duane, given today's clue about room to ride around and such, I can't make it fit any more. There is no "riding" to be done at Valley. The Hills go to a busy road, so sledding would be tough. It's a big flat nothing with bike trails, etc. Only a small playground set, and if that's "riding", well then that's not a good clue. I am going with the crowd--must mean bicycles or the like. But there was a heck of a view, and it's close to home.
I personally am getting just a little frustrated. It's strange that they haven't said it is in a park yet? Which could lead you to a rec center. I don't see it being Como this year, and that's just me. I just hope tonights clue gives me something to work off of.
Wow...took me half hour to get through all the messages since 4:15! Either I'm a slow reader or there's alot of messages. To excavating stud....I did a little research on the olympics. Held here in 1991...could not find out where(park wise).
what do ya'll think of Highland?

Karl...I liked the stetch somebody had earlier about AWOL = a wall
That's exactly what I was thinking Inspector. A wall fits like a glove for MLK.
the medallion is nowhere it is everywhere it is right here it is right there it is the wind

Electric D....I agree...similar plan here...I have a hard time going out until I know I am in the right park.
Run, run like the wind, Alan!

I can not run in my big boots
Those moon boots are a bear, aren't they!
I like Highland but are there biking trails there? How about statues?
If your looking, Highland has it all...not that any of it is right, mind you! lol
the big boots are terrible, I just crawl around when I wear them, it is easier than any other form of transportation
what was the 1st park it was found in 50yrs ago
Hubby is stuck on Como, is there a wall there by the lake? You knowm Como Blvd runs around the lake and it does separate the park into east and west...
kop-Highland, but wouldn't that just be too obvious?
Snowshoes might help...or not...
Highland
most likly
I was even considering hillcrest playground/rec for a while there
Rocket, I KNOW you are lurking!
Please Sue--no snowshoes! It makes that snow so hard to dig. hehe
But Highland could be circular, goingb ack to where iit first was?
DD...
Have you given up on Valley, then?
Hillcrest- is there lots of space where riding around can be fun
It's the 'man of mettle'that seems to be near the prize.Senor DeSoto?"Look for his name around our deal"-rather than Clark who takes you to the site from the South.This would make it on the west side of this park,that I still don't know the name of.
If you go to Highland and find an pink golfball, could you please return it to me, Thanks!
Where's Hillcrest? Whers MLK?
Dave Arlington-Arkwrite park
Alan...hillcrest has all those rides located on it for highland fest in the summer, but no actually riding paths.
Yes, Duane, given today's clue about room to ride around and such, I can't make it fit any more. There is no "riding" to be done at Valley. The Hills go to a busy road, so sledding would be tough.

Digs, did you enjoy the Titanic slide?
Hillcrest Ave. leading to Highland Park or Hillcrest Golf Course?
Anybody going to the local watering hole this weekend, DD?
lots of space does not have to mean alot of space, but could mean lots(plural noun) of space
Sue...they couldn't pull me away from it!...*smile*
Duane--I haven't heard of any organized plans to do so. I think we all figured we'd be actively digging by now!
I personally am getting just a little frustrated. It's strange that they haven't said it is in a park yet? Which could lead you to a rec center. I don't see it being Como this year, and that's just me. I just hope tonights clue gives me something to work off of.
Good evening ladies and gents!

Where is Derick with the hot Cocoa? It's getting cold out here.
Iwish, nvhgkdutnbmccsgflmilimbnghfgfnvngf ( son helping) I wish... I wish I knew where to go...............

Yeah, well guess again. BBIAB
I still think you can jam the clues into almost any of the large parks at this point. Hoping by Saturday night we can eliminate 1/2 of them or so.
Hey Scribe - Did you go to Como? How was it?
