Has anyone figured out the meaning of the double division clue ?

Dr. S. Livingston

Clue #2--water and woods. Could this just mean river and trees or could it be a reference to street names also? And has anyone given any thought to the clue "But first you'll have to crack our code"?

This goes out to all of you spelling masters, the street that runs into Cherokee Park is spelt SIDNEY, not SYDNEY(as in Sydney,Australia) the large object could be one of many things; highbridge,the smokestack(nsp plant),or any large dome like buildings.

Dr. S - Crack our code is just referring to unscrambling demo and mode in the following line of the clue. That is where you come up with dome. Anyone agree?

Sitting Bull - we think "double division" refers to the division of two counties and two cities found at Cherokee.

I was at Cherokee all morning. I'm convinced that it is there. I have done the mounds and prospect park. It is at Cherokee.

Double division could also refer to the line on a tennis court that divides the court for doubles play. The court at Cherokee is pretty much rooted through. Is there any tennis courts at Mounds?

We will be out in full force tonight, which I beleive will be the final clue that will bring us to the precious treasure. I will first need to visit Home Depot to pick up better equipment.

The tennis court looks to be gone through 10 times over

Could "one", "first" and "dough" all refer to the First Bank building?

Left Cherokee this afternoon, almost all the territory is dug through. Hopefully, the next clue will zone in the area in Cherokee.

Patrick--Are you any relation to Robert or Nick Budion of Rosemount?

Stay off the mounds, it won't be there.

Dr. S. Livingston

The indians of indian mounds were considered great architects, right up there with the egyptians and mayans, because they could build large funeral mounds. Gee if that is not a feat of engineering I don't know what is!!

They aren't going to bury the medallion in a burial ground. Remember, you're not suppose to destroy property.

C.Fox: I'd be careful of what you say. You'll be kicked out of the water cooler. Ask Joe Medallion. He was kicked out. We're suppose to be exchanging ideas. The buriel ground is fenced off for a reason. It's against the law. Save yourself grief, and look elsewhere.

Any ideas on the object enclosing the medallion?

last time it was at the mounds,they said they would never put it there again because of people with no respect-for others or them selfs

p.s.read jim walshes col. today and it still could be there but not in the mound(burial).

Double division - Division St. divides counties. St. Paul park, No. St. Paul count? Silver Lake park is just off Division St., in No. St. Paul...

C. Fox, I have been playing nice with the others. The indian mounds thing was a joke (not completely, they do consider indian mounds equivalent to the pyramids in ancient feats of building). I put it there because there was a lack of other clue exchanges going on!!
