MM... I wouldn't worry about it. THX was just playing with you. No one here really cares... they were just giving you crap :).

If I hadn't been loading pics at the time I would have given you crap too.

Good Evening!

I've slogged through everything.  I can't not slog. 

Green's dualities again...if there are two bats, could it be a clue that it's in the Maplewood side of Battle Creek?

My take on the clues thus far:

Clue one:  There's a dig at Soucheray and a dig at the cluewriter for hiding the medallion in something edible last year with a promise that didn't happen again this year.  Second part of clue one:  It's in a park - not just public ground.

Clue two:  The medallion was hidden near Christmas when there wasn't much snow and it's hidden in a park where there are paths and some body or some thing filled with frozen water.

I believe anything else is probably over-analyzing the clue.

On the other hand, I liked the references to Bing Crosy and White Christmas.

Terry V, sounds like you and I are on the same wavelength. I don't like looking into it too much either

I don't think the cluewriters care/worry about parking, that's up to the hunters to figure out. Family thing, yeah, they admitted they like families out looking, and I'm sure they keep it somewhat in mind when hiding. None of the hiding spots I think have ever placed anyone in danger.

Of course the last two years it's been places in the most un family type places it could be (valley of death).

Clue writer even said:

We want the Taylor lads to search But leaving Como and Phalen in the lurch Would detract from our wintry mission. Please hunt, boys, with proper supervision.

In the same context I don't think they even consider parking when it comes to hiding this thing. In due time we would be stuck on a handful of the same parks.

Thats just my two cents.

There was barely any parking for the Conway, Newell or Merriam hunts.
All these theories have met demise at one time or another.

I really like the Bing Crosby thing, but I think Crosby park is too obvious.  I think it may be attached or in a CD case from White Christmas??

The only valid reason I have for Crosby, is that I WANT it to be there. So far the clues & my noodles have not discounted any, nor included any parks.

And Dennis the furry Gherkin said it was ok.

Nothing like trying to dissuade people from searching somewhere you think it might be....

Crosby isn't THAT dangerous. Safety in numbers.

I was talking in the context of the whole idea that the clue writers probably don't car about parking or think in terms of large crowds hunting.

As far as cliffs and such, people shouldknow better

I don't know Crosby, is it a large park, what are the dangers associated with this park? Can you get into the park 24/7, or is it a park with gates?
