It concerns a creepy, psycho, hook-hand guy who has escaped from an asylum and a couple in lover's lane.

Looks like I'm going to be heading out to the park after all. I'll probably get there in about an hour and a half. I'm bringing someone who has better equipment than I do, so maybe I'll have a shot.

He has head lamps and better flashlights for seeing at night. He does a lot of cave exploring. I'm bringing my shovel and my "tweezers". I sent you an email with my cell phone if you want to try and hook up.

Here is my two cents for today's clue.

The clue looks more like a directional clue.

Look for a branch/fallen tree, with lichen/moss along the trail where you are going to have to hike to (From what I read there are several trees or branches that fit this category) from the parking area. The second half of the clue is to head in the direction "not helter skelter" but with a purpose toward the solid shelter with room and wood to burn.

Later clues will reveal the distance that must be traveled or the landmarks within the park that will border the medallion.

This is taking the clue literally since Crosby is such a large park to search.

Doesn't seem like anyone else has noticed this, but I saw this little memorial on a tree today at Crosby. It was just off of one of the main walking paths, facing straight out. If you walk from the fire ring shelter out toward the small shelter, then this memorial is on your right hand side, toward the river, about 200 feet before you reach the small shelter

I still have to finish slogging - but I wanted to make two points for highland before i forget them - so forgive me if they are already thought of

Is Treasure fit for kings - the 1954 chest was hidden at Highland - it was a treasure chest.

In the 1986 hunt clue 9 (also highland) to the treasure of a king

coincidence?

Better take my *joe*
