could be marydale,    I like that park.  Marydale is probable one of the top smaller parks.  Just can't zero in a park yet.  Hope to dig tom am. maybe there.

Sorry.  It just occured to me that it's possible.

It's too early to start panting for the next clue.
I should do something else for awhile.

Marydale has water, but it is too small. Not a top choice for me, but viable.

Of course it's possible!

since I am at work I have to look in short shifts

Speaking of work.  I just accepted a new position at a different account which lands me an additional 11% raise on top of the 9% I just got last week.  I go to meet my new crew on Wednesday.  They want me to start ASAP but don't want to leave my current account without a manager for any length of time either.  I'm stoked as the kids say but will probably need to be away from the board during work for awhile.  Which was actually included as a positive to stay in my current position when comparing the two.  I already tried pushing it out until after the hunt but it didn't work.

Maybe it is my year!  ;-)

i'll have to agree with reg right now. my mind started to wonder to the fair and some other randoms places. (not the frog pond, even though i am a newbie), but it's early and 'park' and 'ice' seem to be what we have for sure. but there sure could be some underlying definitions with the 'scoot' and the amount of time that can be 'whiled' away on the fairground trails/paths!

Later I'd like to summarize the thoughts on Crosby -- why it might be there.  Maybe someone else wouldn't mind summarizing the fairgrounds.  I think the second clue gave it away, unfortunately.

Thanks OT, TV & coco.  I had to put a lot of thought into it.  There was actually kind of a bidding war going on where my current account said they'd match what I was offered at my new account even though it's a much smaller account.  But I was reminded about the promise I made myself that I would increase my portfolio within a years time at my current employer or I was going to move on to somewhere else.  My 1 year anniversary is this Thursday.  Nice timing.  ;-)

Green  - did a drive by. will look tom early am, unless tonight I go in a different direction.

CM - any verdict on getting in on a guess the park pool.  If we can't get in I would like to see a spot where people could record a guess if it is not in a claimed park.  For me winning the money is not as important as to be the one to first guess right.

I like to go down there and push and shove the 10 people that are there just so I'm first. 

Then go blasting out the door screaming that I know where it is.  ;-)

i've been thinking that 2 GiG- "ice has come to stay"=Indoor ice arena in or near park. Highland has one in the park as does Lakewood Hills, Linwood has one near it, so do Goodrich and Snail Lake Marsh, and as you mentioned the Excel can be seen from a few

Thanks New Daddy. It does.

Hey THX - Can you please set up a thread for 2005 Medallion Park Guesses?  I plan on going down to the PP tonight so I'll talk with the crew about it.  I'm still OK with it but I don't want to piss of anybody else.  I've asked before and didn't really get any replies one way or the other.  Anybody have thoughts on how to handle those who weren't at the PDG to pick a park?  I know that KOP came in after we already were drawing names and picked his park after we were all done.  Unfortunately WN picked the one he originally wanted and he was second to last.  :-(

I think it's kinda funny how Winnebago Bill originally picked Crosby and changed it to anywhere along Ayd Mill Road (shortline).  But then he's down there all day today.  I'd feel bad for him if it does turn up down there.

hi artemis, I  like that thinking.  I wonder if all of them are open all year round.  The indoor ice rink by me closes during the summer.  but I am sure some of them are open all year. 

 

Going home ,see ya all around clue time.

Well since the company usually sucks, I guess I don't really see any reason to go down there for any of these early clues.

I dunno about the other thread. I got pretty pissed off in the PP thread the other day. Some silly person was raggin on me and saying that I was "Shoving" the cooler crew down everyones throats.

I explained that what I ad done was helped people find info they were looking for. It just happens to be that all that info is on our sites lol. She was pretty bitter. As are a few other people over there.

So my feeling.... If they find their way here like Pay me and I did or Zeph or Love 4 Vino etc and they have something to offer the crew in the way of the love for the hunt, friendship and good laughs then cooler. If they are know-it-all lurkers who come to complain or act out then misdirect them all you want.

What gives you that idea ESD?  You didn't see all the hunters at Minnehaha Falls or the fairgrounds?

She needs to actually pick a park though if she really wants one of the ones thats left so nobody else takes it...

I like it.  But then she would be forfeiting her chance at all the other parks.  Which would then go to who?  Maybe set a certain clue # for those who weren't there and pick them that night and then it's closed.  Then the last person who was picked would get the lot if PayMe decided to give up her spot.  Good thinking LA Mom.  Oh and I thought I read that you came up with the idea of the last person picked getting the lot.  I thought Jake did and gave him kudos all night because of it.  Sorry about that - nice idea.  Problem was solved right there and then.

Highland has ice all year round- but parts of that park are under construction. The rules forbid construction sites, but does that mean the whole park? Alot of places at Highland that are not being worked on.

Well see now, there is a reason LAMom can grace us with her presence tonight.  See, there is more to it than just talking to a bunch of drunks.  ;-)

We'll talk tonight and come up with something.  I agree that any more clues could make it unfair.

Who else wants in anyway so I can have an idea.  I can cover you until we hook up if we decide to close the board tonight and we don't meet up yet.  Just let me know and I'll put you down.
